✅ As a user I want to sign out of my account so that my identity is no longer active on this device.
Behavior from source: Sign out from the avatar menu, confirm the modal, remove the active identity from the device and return to signed-out UI; with multiple accounts, switch to the next available account instead. Cancel leaves state unchanged. This is device-session removal, not specified deletion of the remote identity or Hyper.media account.
