New 'Login expired' message distinct from the existing Anthropic profile expiry message

What

A new error message was added for invalid-request authentication errors: "Login expired · Run /login to sign in again, or re-authenticate your Anthropic profile." This is shown under certain conditions as a separate message from the existing "Anthropic profile login expired" message.

Why

This gives users more specific guidance when their login (rather than specifically their Anthropic profile) has expired, pointing them to the /login command to sign back in.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /login, on Deploy managed settings. | `gatewayInternalNetworks` | When the invalid value comes from the highest managed source on the machine, `/login` refuses every new [cloud gateway](/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway#allow-a-gateway-on-public-address-space-you-own) sign-in on … managed-settings see the edit
