Authentication
kitchenowl auth login --server https://kitchenowl.example.com
kitchenowl auth status
kitchenowl auth logout
auth login accepts --username and --password flags (or prompts interactively) and always asks for the server when --server is omitted, defaulting to the last saved host. The CLI stores server_url, access_token, refresh_token, user, and any saved defaults in ~/.config/kitchenowl/config.json (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kitchenowl/config.json). auth logout removes the tokens from that file but leaves the configured server URL.
