What is the best way to determine (in other software) whether or not CB is installed in a Joomla site?

You can use normal Joomla API to check if a component exists, check if it exists in _extensions database table, or check if the files exist as our modules do using the below.

Code:

if ( ( ! file_exists( JPATH_SITE . '/libraries/CBLib/CBLib/Core/CBLib.php' ) ) || ( ! file_exists( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) ) {
	echo 'CB not installed'; return;
}
