Research direction
Examine the 'pull' sub command in the 'registry' command within the slimtoolkit/slim codebase. Look at how images are currently pulled and where authentication could be added. Review any existing authentication mechanisms in the project. For native registry auth like AWS, consider using environment variables or configuration files (e.g., ~/.aws/credentials). Check if there are any related issues or PRs for guidance. Provide concrete steps for implementation.
