tigby start

The guided first run, on an empty machine. It checks the profile's key against whoami and signs in with the device flow when there is nothing that carries; then it asks for a Handle and checks each answer live against GET /api/handles/{handle}, so you learn whether a name is free before spending a create on it; then it runs the create for the Handle you settled on, with its saga progress and its show-once hand-over of the Identity Key and the Mailbox password. Nothing here is new behaviour: it is tigby login and tigby identity create, in that order, around one prompt. This is the one command that does not take --json – its input is a Handle you type – and the one that needs a terminal; both refusals name the two commands to run instead.
