What's Wrong?

After successfully completing the OAuth login flow using my Claude Max subscription, Claude Code shows "Login successful" but immediately becomes unusable. The authentication token is not persisted - /status shows "Auth token: none" and Claude Code doesn't respond to any prompts. Every attempt to use Claude Code results in "Missing API key · Run /login" error, making it completely unusable despite having an active paid subscription.

What Should Happen?

After successful OAuth authentication with Claude Max subscription, Claude Code should:

Store and persist the authentication token in the system keychain/config
Display the auth token status (not "Auth token: none")
Respond normally to all user prompts without asking to re-login
Function as expected for a paid subscriber
