 Gotchas:
 - The command is interactive by default. Pass --interactive=false in scripts and CI.
 - Re-adding an existing server ID fails unless --overwrite is set; use 'jf c edit' to modify in place.
 - Server IDs cannot be "delete", "use", "show", or "clear" (reserved names).
 - --basic-auth-only is incompatible with --access-token.
+- By default the interactive flow only asks for the platform URL. --legacy restores prompts for each service's own URL (Artifactory, Distribution, Xray, Mission Control, Pipelines), for Artifactory v6.x self-hosted setups where these don't share a single platform URL.

+- --legacy is for Artifactory v6.x self-hosted, where Artifactory/Distribution/Xray/Mission Control/Pipelines don't share a single platform URL. It skips the browser-based web login and prompts for each service's URL and standard credentials instead.
 - Does not work in CI/headless environments — no browser to open.
 - The flow stores credentials locally under ~/.jfrog/.
 - --disable-token-refresh persists in the saved server config; omitting the flag on a later 'jf login' re-run leaves the previously saved value untouched.
