Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked twofat project and this repository's CLI handling of OTPAUTH_URI records; no local files or tests are named in the issue. Determine the intended import/export compatibility and which attributes and period behavior must match, then identify the relevant entry point and tests before implementation.
