What
At startup, Claude Code now attempts an OAuth token refresh, bounded by a 5 second timeout, before creating the feature-flag client and resolving its auth headers. Previously a stale token could produce an unauthenticated flag fetch at startup. Failures are logged at debug level (recording 'timeout' or the error name) and startup continues either way.
Details
Runs only once workspace trust is established.
Evidence
GrowthBook pre-init OAuth refresh
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
