cli: allow device=libjade to run cli commands with libjade
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a new command-line option that lets users run the Jade CLI with a local software simulator ('libjade') instead of a real hardware device connected over USB/serial. It is a feature addition, not a security fix or vulnerability.
No security action required. Treat as a normal feature commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change in jade_cli.py detects when the user passes device=’libjade’ and calls JadeAPI.create_libjade() rather than JadeAPI.create_serial(device=self.device). This enables CLI testing against the libjade simulator. No existing behavior is altered for real serial devices, and no security-sensitive logic is changed.
