Generalize the stdout-discipline convention to human mode: stdout carries only data payloads (list/query tables, identity dumps), while success/confirmation/status/empty-state messages go to stderr in both --json and human modes. - create: 'Using the following build configuration', 'Created app', revision-URL and post-create hints -> stderr - whoami: '✔ Authenticated as …' confirmation -> stderr; orgs table stays on stdout as data - logout: 'Successfully logged out' -> stderr - orgs list: empty-state notice -> stderr - deployments list: empty-state notice and pagination hint -> stderr
tokenStorage.remove() (reached via `logout`) printed KEYCHAIN_WARNING via console.log, unlike its siblings in get()/set() which use console.error. Route it to stderr so the warning never pollutes stdout.
The dry-run create tests asserted the 'Using the following build configuration:' echo on stdout, but it now goes to stderr per the stdout-discipline convention. Capture combined stdout+stderr in the `deploy` test helper (matching `deployFail`).

What
Generalizes the CLI's stdout-discipline convention (previously documented for
--jsononly) to human mode too. The rule is now uniform across all commands and both modes:--jsonthe single JSON result object; in human mode the actual data a user would pipe (list/query tables, identity dumps).console.error, in both--jsonand human modes.Files in this PR (orphan files not owned by an in-flight PR)
deploy/create/mod.ts— "Using the following build configuration", "✔ Created app …", revision-URL info, and the post-create "go to the revision page" hint → stderr.deploy/mod.ts—whoami"✔ Authenticated as …" confirmation → stderr (the orgs table stays on stdout as data);logout"✔ Successfully logged out" → stderr. Thelogsregion is untouched (sibling PR).deploy/orgs.ts— "No organizations accessible with this token." empty-state → stderr (list data stays on stdout).deploy/deployments.ts— "No deployments for this application." empty-state and "More results available; pass --cursor …" pagination hint → stderr (list data stays on stdout).Covered by sibling PRs (not touched here)
