Codewhale-owned xAI OAuth credentials were not found at {}.

Error message

Codewhale-owned xAI OAuth credentials were not found at {}. Run `codewhale auth xai-device` again.

What it means

Missing-credential error in get_owned_credentials_locked: the Codewhale-owned xAI OAuth auth file does not exist at the expected store path, so load_owned_auth_file_from_store returned None. The device-login flow was never completed or the file was deleted.
