Startup auth was split between the CLI and API crates, which made saved OAuth refresh behavior eager and easy to drift. This change adds a startup-specific resolver in the API layer, keeps env-only auth semantics intact, preserves saved refresh tokens when refresh responses omit them, and lets the CLI reuse the shared resolver while keeping --version on a purely local path.
Constraint: Saved OAuth credentials live in ~/.claude/credentials.json and must remain compatible with existing runtime helpers
Constraint: --version must not require config loading or any API/auth client initialization
Rejected: Keep refresh orchestration only in rusty-claude-cli | would preserve split auth policy and lazy-load bugs
Rejected: Change AnthropicClient::from_env to load config | would broaden configless API semantics for non-CLI callers
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep startup-only OAuth refresh separate from AuthSource::from_env() / AnthropicClient::from_env() unless all non-CLI callers are re-evaluated
Tested: cargo fmt --all; cargo build; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test; cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --version
Not-tested: Live OAuth refresh against a real auth server
