Could it just automatically happen as part of the --script flag?

That's a good idea.

Turns out no modifications are needed to the code. If the --exit or --noexit command line option is given, then it turns off checking for available bundles, a.k.a., phoning home. But that isn't documented, so I'll add that to the documentation. Will also add not phoning home in a few more cases: running the line profiler, and running scripts.
