Code Review
This pull request introduces named profiles to the Kinetic CLI, enabling users to bundle project, zone, cluster, and namespace configurations under a single name. This feature simplifies switching between infrastructure targets by integrating profiles into the configuration precedence hierarchy (CLI flag > Env var > Profile > Default). The implementation includes a new kinetic profile command group for lifecycle management, atomic JSON storage, and updates to the config show command for improved visibility. I have no feedback to provide.

Can you link to the configuration page that explains what these all do?

| env vars manually is slowing you down. | ||
| - Multiple people share a machine or dotfiles and need clean switching | ||
| between their own configurations. |

Maybe mention a benefit is being able to utilize spot capacity across regions?

| For single-cluster setups, plain `KINETIC_*` env vars are still the | ||
| simplest path. |

Maybe link here as well to the config page that shows how to use these env vars?

Can you mention (here or maybe above in the intro) that profiles are local and per-user and aren't synced across the team?
