Auth-redesigned fork of alexapy: no stored credentials, refresh-token-only

alexapy-secure

Pre-alpha warning: This is a work-in-progress fork of alexapy redesigned for secure authentication. The module imports as alexapy_secure to avoid site-packages collisions with upstream alexapy during side-by-side installation.

About This Fork

This is the library component of the alexa_media_player auth redesign. The redesign eliminates stored Alexa credentials in favor of refresh-token-only authentication, improving security for Home Assistant users.
