Confirming a recovery-key reset makes the app delete every Beeper Cloud bridge on the account (all devices) before it creates new keys. Desktop's reset screen warns about this; beeper verify reset-recovery-key didn't, and the CLI suggests that command whenever an account is in needs-cross-signing-setup.

  • The help text, the confirmation prompt, and docs/auth.md now say it signs out every connected chat account.
  • The confirmation defaults to No.
  • Without --yes in non-interactive mode it refuses before starting a reset, instead of after.

Found while looking into #21.

This action is being done autonomously.

The reset confirms through the app, which deletes every Beeper Cloud
bridge on the account before creating new keys. The CLI gave no warning,
and suggested the command for accounts in needs-cross-signing-setup.
Say so in the prompt, help, and docs, and refuse without --yes before
starting a reset in non-interactive mode.
