After writing ~/.opengradient_config.json, set file permissions to 600 (owner read/write only) to prevent other users on the system from reading the private key stored in the config. Closes OpenGradient#257

Problem
When \opengradient config init\ saves the user's Ethereum private key to ~/.opengradient_config.json, the file is created with default permissions (typically 644), making it readable by all users on the system.
Any process or user on the same machine can read the private key and drain the wallet.
Fix
Add \OG_CONFIG_FILE.chmod(0o600)\ after writing the config file, restricting access to the file owner only.
