What
The check that asks whether your organization has metrics enabled now builds its own auth headers and fails with a specific message when no usable credential exists, instead of reporting a generic missing-auth reason.
Details
The new error reads Auth error: no credential usable for the metrics opt-out check.
The endpoint path is now a single shared constant, and the cached metrics status is written through the v5 storage handle.
Evidence
Auth error: no credential usable for the metrics opt-out check
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
