Sometimes we can't figure out if the user is able to open a browser or not, and we think we opened one when we didn't. Or, we just know that you can't open a browser in a certain context. Thus, this option let's us just blindly skip all that.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a --no-browser flag to the login command to skip automatic browser opening during authentication. This is useful in environments where browser detection is unreliable or where opening a browser is not possible.

Changes:

  • Added a --no-browser CLI flag with short alias -n to the login command
  • Updated do_login and handle_device_login functions to accept and respect the browser preference
  • Refactored browser opening logic to conditionally open browser based on the flag
