Codewhale-owned OAuth credentials are not configured

Error message

Codewhale-owned {} OAuth credentials are not configured

What it means

`get_owned_credentials_with` looks up the configured auth-file path for Codewhale-owned credentials of the given provider; when `configured_owned_auth_file_path` returns `None`, no owned credential storage is configured and it fails with the provider's display name. This only concerns Codewhale's own credential files, not imported external ones.

Solutions

Run the provider's Codewhale-owned login (e.g. `codewhale auth xai-device`) to create/configure owned credentials.
Check the config for the owned auth-file path setting for this provider and set it if absent.
Verify you loaded the intended config profile/environment.

Example fix

// before
# config has no owned xAI auth path; codewhale reads owned creds -> bail
// after
$ codewhale auth xai-device   # configures Codewhale-owned xAI storage

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

let configured = configured_owned_auth_file_path(provider, config);
if configured.is_none() {
    // run the provider's owned login (e.g. codewhale auth xai-device) first
}

Type guard

fn owned_credentials_configured(provider: OAuthProvider, config: &Config) -> bool {
    configured_owned_auth_file_path(provider, config).is_some()
}

Prevention

Complete the owned-device login once before commands that read owned credentials.
Ensure the active config profile defines the owned auth-file path for the provider.
Don't mix profiles: verify which config file is loaded.

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `get_owned_credentials_with(provider, config, client)` when the config lacks the owned auth-file path for that provider — `configured_owned_auth_file_path(provider, config)` yields `None`.

Common situations: Fresh install where the user never ran the provider's device login; config file missing the owned-credentials path setting; wrong config profile loaded that doesn't define the provider's storage.
