Crate smbcloud_ascapi_frontend 

Operations shared by the asc command line and its MCP server.

Both surfaces need the same things: resolve credentials, call the App Store Connect client, and shape the result into something worth showing a human or handing a model. Putting that here means the two front ends cannot drift, and in particular that the ordering guarantee in certificates::issue_certificate (private key written before the network call) has exactly one implementation.

Two rules the result types are built around, because one of the consumers is a language model:

• No key material in a result. certificates::IssuedCertificate carries the path a key was written to, never the key. Enforced by construction rather than filtered at the edge, since a filter is one refactor away from being bypassed.
• No certificate bodies either. They are large, never needed to decide what to do next, and would otherwise land in a transcript. profiles::ProfileSummary applies the same rule to profileContent, and profiles::download_profile returns the path it wrote instead.
