Mish Ushakov 6d66d159d1 fix(cli): handle missing xdg-open on headless machines during login (#1345)
## Summary
- `e2b auth login` previously crashed on headless machines (no
`xdg-open`) with an unhandled `error` event from the spawned browser
process.
- Attach an `error` listener (and `.catch`) to the `open` call; on
failure, print the login URL so the user can open it manually.
- Added a changeset for `@e2b/cli` (patch).

## Test plan
- [ ] On a headless Linux box without `xdg-open`, run `e2b auth login`
and confirm the CLI prints the manual URL instead of crashing.
- [ ] On macOS/Linux with a desktop, confirm the browser still opens
automatically and login completes.

E2B CLI

This CLI tool allows you to build manager your running E2B sandbox and sandbox templates. Learn more in our documentation.

1. Install the CLI

Using Homebrew (on macOS)

2. Authenticate

e2b auth login
