-notlsDisable TLS (plain TCP)
-autoconnectConnect automatically on startup
-username <user>IRC username (appears in hostmask)
-password <pass>Server password (IRC PASS command)
-nick <nick>Override default nick for this network
Examples: 
# Basic
/server add libera irc.libera.chat 6697 -tls -autoconnect

# With credentials (using vault secret)
/server add libera irc.libera.chat 6697 -tls -autoconnect -username mynick -password ${libera_pass}

# Plain TCP, no TLS
/server add efnet irc.efnet.org 6667 -notls

# With custom nick
/server add testnet irc.test.com 6697 -tls -nick testbot
The -password flag sets the IRC PASS command (sent on connect). Use ${secret_name} to reference vault secrets. For SASL or NickServ auth, use /server set after adding.
