What does this PR do?
On macOS, gauss /prove (and any autoformalize workflow) fails immediately with "Not logged in · Please run /login" in the spawned Claude Code session, even though claude itself works fine and the user was authenticated. Fix is to add a _read_keychain_claude_credentials() helper that reads from the macOS Keychain via the built-in security CLI.
Root cause: Claude Code v2+ stores OAuth tokens in the macOS Keychain under the entry "Claude Code-credentials" rather than writing them to ~/.claude/.credentials.json. Gauss's _has_local_claude_login() only checks for the credentials file, so it always returns False on macOS with Claude Code v2+. Gauss then falls back to ANTHROPIC_TOKEN from ~/.gauss/.env, which is typically stale or invalid, and Claude Code rejects it.
There is workaround if changes proposed by me here are not relevant though.
Either do one-time sync like this:
security find-generic-password -s "Claude Code-credentials" -w > ~/.claude/.credentials.jsonor add to ~/.zshrc to auto-sync on every gauss invocation:
