Subject: [PATCH] feat(accounts): look up ./.netrc before ~/.netrc for
 per-project credentials (W-23597907, #1452)

When `initNetrc()` loads credentials it now checks for a `.netrc` in
`process.cwd()` first. If found, its machine entries are merged into the
home `~/.netrc` with local entries taking priority, enabling per-project
credential overrides without touching the global netrc file.
