2026-10-15 21:08Z: the daemon's proactive OAuth refresh failed (no
incident at Anthropic; most likely a cross-process race on the
single-use refresh token), the credential was dropped, and every
session on the VM showed "Login expired · Please run /login" until a
browser login took at 23:50Z — two "Login interrupted" first. The gate
was off; the fallback of 4acd56c4 could not help, because it is the
same OAuth credential.
scripts/claude-key starts Claude Code on the Anthropic API key from
~/.config/shorashim/upstream_keys (read at launch, never written),
direct to Anthropic whatever settings.json says. Proven:
`claude-key auth status` → authMethod api_key, apiKeySource
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY; a -p run from a directory with a dead gate armed in
project settings answered. KOHEN.md: the login recovery (claude-key,
`claude auth login` from the shell, `auth status --text`).
