Server config checks shouldn't be required in offline mode

[wk9874]

In offline mode, you are still required to enter the server URL and token (lines 216 - 220 of simvue/config/user.py) - these shouldnt be required in offline mode.

Even if you do specify these, the code currently still performs a check of their validity in check_valid_server - this will fail in the case of no internet connection. It currently uses mode to define when to skip this check, but that parameter is only defined in the higher level API, not the lower level one. Meaning if you do eg Tag.new(offline=True), it wont pop 'mode' in line 154 of base.py, and therefore will treat it as an online run.

from simvue.api.objects.tag import Tag

import time
tag = Tag(offline=True)
tag.new(name="my_tag_2")

Code which provokes the issue ^

@wk9874 is this resolved now?

[wk9874]

No this is not fixed

Running in offline mode with no simvue.toml file gives

WARNING:simvue.config.user:No config file found, checking environment variables

The server URL and token should not be required for offline runs
