Subject: [PATCH] feat(tui): extend /login parser to accept mode subcommand

Add support for `/login <provider> mode <api_key|oauth|auto>` syntax to allow
switching authentication mode per provider in the TUI. The Command union type
now includes an optional mode field, and parseCommand handles regex matching
for the "mode" subcommand pattern while maintaining backward compatibility.
