The `viam module reload` command no longer transfers build artifacts to the machine. Instead the machine downloads the package directly from the cloud. The --home, --no-progress flags were removed from `reload` (still available on `reload-local`). Source: viamrobotics/rdk#5911 (APP-15664) https://claude.ai/code/session_01GzVutVhRBunpt96yfRq9rm
