Unclear How the auth status output looks beyond the not-in-use marker is not settled.
What
When both a sign-in token and an API key are present, the auth status display now works out which one is actually being used and marks the other with · not in use.
On setups using a gateway (CLAUDE_CODE_USE_GATEWAY), restoring credentials from the hand-off file now gives a clearer error when the file cannot be opened because of permissions. Before, the only message said the file was still locked by another process. The message now adds: "or this process is refused the file: check its permissions. Try again."
Why
If a gateway credential restore fails because of file permissions, the message now points you at the permissions instead of only at another process holding the file.
