Why
auth envhas never really fit the rest of the CLI. It has its own custom auth resolution (local--host/--profileflags, manual ini scanning) instead of going through the standard auth chain, and it overlaps with what callers can get from the SDK directly. Rather than invest more in maintaining it, we want to signal that it's on its way out so users stop depending on it.Changes
Deprecate the command:
Hidden: true— no longer shows up underdatabricks auth --help(still invokable,--helpstill works).Warning: 'databricks auth env' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.to stderr on every invocation.Shortmention the deprecation.Behavior is otherwise unchanged. JSON output shape, flags, and resolution logic all stay identical so anything currently scripting against the command keeps working until the removal PR.
Replaces #4904, which mixed this deprecation with a larger refactor.
