v1.5.2 - Azure CLI Authentication for Azure DevOps

🔐 Azure CLI Authentication for Azure DevOps Git Layers

New Authentication Type: az_cli - Simplified Azure DevOps authentication

Features

• Azure CLI Authentication: Use az login session for Git layer authentication
• No Token Management: Git credential manager automatically provides tokens from Azure CLI
• MFA Support: Works seamlessly with MFA and conditional access policies
• Zero Expiration: No PAT token expiration headaches
• Simple Configuration: Just set auth.type to "az_cli" - no tokens or environment variables

Configuration Example

{
  "knowledge_layers": [
    {
      "name": "Company Standards",
      "type": "git",
      "priority": 20,
      "source": {
        "repository_url": "https://dev.azure.com/myorg/BC-Knowledge/_git/standards",
        "branch": "main",
        "auth": {
          "type": "az_cli"
        }
      }
