it'd be cool to amend this section of the docs as well https://posthog.com/docs/error-tracking/upload-mappings/android#inject-and-upload

I've been trialling migrating to PostHog from Crashlytics, and I've hit that TODO in the plugin implementation where the CLI install location is not configurable, so I thought I'd help out if that's amenable?
💡 Motivation and Context
The upload mappings task relies on the machine having a globally installed
posthog-clithat is already authenticated. This PR adds input variables to thePostHogCliExecTaskforpostHogExecutable(defaults to"posthog-cli"as per existing global install behaviour)postHogHost(optional, setsPOSTHOG_CLI_HOSTenv variable)postHogProjectId(optional, setsPOSTHOG_CLI_PROJECT_IDenv variable)postHogApiKey(optional, setsPOSTHOG_CLI_API_KEYenv variable)Furthermore, all tasks are made public so that the inputs can be configured in the end project. Note: this exposes your task hierarchy as a de-facto public API, but otherwise it's impossible to actually set those input variables in the end project.
In this way, the PostHog CLI can be entirely standalone without relying on global machine state.
💚 How did you test it?
