Auth

Two methods supported:

Password + MFA (primary): mm login prompts interactively. Session token is stored locally - password is never saved to disk. When the session expires, run mm login again.

Personal Access Token (optional): mm login --token <pat>. Requires admin to enable PATs on the Mattermost server. Tokens don't expire.

Credentials stored at ~/.config/mm/config.json (token only, 600 permissions).

Environment variables override config: MATTERMOST_URL, MATTERMOST_TOKEN, MATTERMOST_TEAM.
