//! Server profiles: a config file of named servers, so a remote MCP server
//! can be reached as `mcp-repl <name>` instead of a URL plus repeated
//! `--bearer`/`--header` flags.
//!
//! The file lives at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mcp-repl/config.toml`, falling back to
//! `~/.config/mcp-repl/config.toml`, and `--config <path>` overrides it:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [servers.cratesio]
//! transport = "http"
//! url = "https://cratesio-mcp.fly.dev/"
//! bearer_env = "CRATESIO_TOKEN"
//! headers = { "X-Api-Key" = "..." }
//!
//! [oauth.work]
//! url = "https://mcp.example.com/mcp"
//! scopes = ["openid", "offline_access"]
//!
//! [servers.work]
//! transport = "http"
//! oauth = "work"
//!
//! [servers.local]
//! transport = "stdio"
//! command = ["cargo", "run", "--example", "getting_started"]
//!
//! [aliases]
//! t = "tools"
//! ```
//!
//! Command aliases live in the same file: `[aliases]` for every server, and
//! `[servers.<name>.aliases]` for one profile. The interactive `alias` and
//! `unalias` commands write them back.
//!
//! Tokens are read from the environment via `bearer_env` rather than stored in
//! the file; an inline `bearer` literal works but warns.
