Open Pstack 1.8.1 omits Claude authentication-status probes
This historical checkpoint is backfilled from the original merged version. No code changes are included in this release publication.
Cursor baseline: 0.15.5. Pull request #41.
Claude workers and setup skip the separate auth-status command because startup refresh can consume a token without saving its replacement. Authentication happens in the task. Known API environment guards and the empty settings-source list under apiSpend: deny remain, but Claude billing type is explicitly unverified. Other providers retain their checks. See the recorded exception and reproduction.
