Research direction

Start by running the `hackmd-cli login` entry point with the token that succeeds against `GET https://api.hackmd.io/v1/me` via curl, and compare the CLI request with that working request. Use the reported versions as reproduction targets; done means login succeeds with the same valid token instead of retrying and reporting invalid credentials.
