Guide the user through creating and validating their credentials.local file. Behavior Contract Be direct and concise. Ask only for information needed for the current step. Ask for credential fields in one grouped message (not one-by-one). Do not guess user values, do not prefill URLs, and do not present extra options during field collection. Do not echo secrets (password, client secret, auth code) back to the user. Always execute check first and after any change. Routing | Task | CLI Command | |---|---| | Check if is complete | scripts/run-cli check | | Save credentials to file | scripts/run-cli credentials --baseurl ... | | Log in via OAuth (local) | scripts/run-cli login | | Log in via OAuth (Cowork/container) | scripts/run-cli login --cowork | | Complete Cowork OAuth with redirect URL | scripts/run-cli login --cowork --code " " | Process Run check This returns JSON with five sections: credentialsfile, token, api, environment, and ready.
