Connect a human inbox to enable sync, smart routing, and context APIs.

## OAuth Flow

1. Create an auth URL with `POST /human/v0/auth/url`.
2. Send the user through provider consent.
3. Confirm the connection with `POST /human/v0/auth/confirm`.

## IMAP + SMTP Credentials

Use `POST /human/v0/auth/tokens` with provider settings and credentials, then confirm the account.

## Verify Connection

List active accounts:

```bash
curl "$API_URL/human/v0/accounts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
```
