What
When creating an API key via OAuth fails, Claude Code now checks the underlying error response for a verification-required condition. If found, it throws a specific error carrying that detail instead of falling through to the previous generic 'request failed' error.
Why
This lets Claude Code (and anyone debugging the failure) distinguish a case where additional verification is needed from other kinds of API key creation failures.
