Description
It appears if the CLI thinks it has valid credentials, it will always ask whether I want to re-authenticate. Strangely this occurs even after I run oxide auth logout and the credentials in ~/.config/oxide/hosts.toml have been replaced with empty strings.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with oxide auth login, oxide auth logout, and the credentials in ~/.config/oxide/hosts.toml; then trace the CLI implementation of the login command. Done means oxide auth login --force provides a way to re-authenticate without the existing-credentials prompt.
