Onboarding now also treats a 'gateway' authentication setup as equivalent to OAuth for its flow

What

During onboarding, Claude Code previously decided whether to show the OAuth (the standard login-and-authorize flow) step based on one condition. It now also checks a second condition: whether the account is set up with a "gateway" authentication path. If so, that also feeds the same oauthEnabled telemetry field and affects whether the OAuth step is shown. A related preflight-skip condition was also adjusted.

Why

This should make onboarding behave correctly for accounts using a gateway-based authentication setup, rather than only accounting for standard OAuth.
