Problem
docs/bee/working-with-bee/introduction.md and docs/bee/working-with-bee/swarm-cli.md already recommend swarm-cli as the primary way to interact with a Bee node from the command line.
Several other pages haven't caught up: they still show raw curl/jq calls against the Bee API where a swarm-cli command would now do the same job.
Prior attempt
Branch curl-to-swarm-cli (pushed to origin, no PR ever opened) already drafted this migration for:
docs/bee/faq.md
docs/bee/installation/docker.md
docs/bee/installation/fund-your-node.md
docs/bee/installation/getting-started.md
docs/bee/installation/package-manager.md
docs/bee/installation/shell-script.md
docs/bee/working-with-bee/bee-api.md
docs/bee/working-with-bee/swarm-cli.md
src/css/custom.css
Treat this branch as a draft reference only, not a mergeable diff. Its last commit is from 2025-05-15, and master has moved roughly 287 commits past the branch's merge-base since. Content, line numbers, and even some swarm-cli/Bee API command output shown in the draft may be stale.
