Confirmation Flags

Control commands support --confirm to wait for vehicle confirmation:

--confirm - Wait for vehicle to report state change (default: enabled)
--confirm=false - Don't wait for confirmation
--confirm-wait 3m - Custom timeout (default: 2 minutes)

Use --confirm for important actions where the user wants to be sure it worked.

Examples

Example 1: Warming up the car

User: "It's freezing, can you warm up the car?"

mcs climate on

Example 2: Checking battery before a trip

User: "How much battery do I have left?"

mcs status

Then show the battery level and range from the output.

Example 3: Securing the car

User: "Lock the car and make sure it's locked"

mcs lock --confirm

Example 4: Setting specific temperature

User: "Set the car to 24 degrees"

mcs climate set --temp 24

Error Handling

If the command fails, show the error message to the user
Common issues:
- "not configured" - User needs to set up ~/.config/mcs/config.toml
- "token expired" - Will auto-refresh, retry the command
- "vehicle not responding" - Vehicle may be in low-signal area

JSON Output
