Errors reading the global config file are now shown instead of being silently hidden

What

The function that reads account login information (oauthAccount) from Claude Code's global configuration file now throws explicit errors, 'global config not readable through storage' and 'global config not parseable', when something goes wrong. Previously, any error in this process was caught and the function simply returned nothing, without explaining why.

Why

Surfacing the actual error makes it much easier to diagnose problems with a corrupted or inaccessible config file, instead of silently behaving as if no account were logged in.
