Bug Description
I am getting a 401 error with the message Invalid OAuth token. The provided token was not found or is malformed. I am authenticated with my Pro account. I have tried logging out and logging back in. I have even deleted claude code and reinstalled. I even made sure to remove all ~/.claude files and directories.
