No auth profile found. Run `zeroclaw auth login --model-prov

Error message

No auth profile found. Run `zeroclaw auth login --model-provider <provider>` first.

What it means

`zeroclaw auth refresh` asks the provider flow for refresh status; `RefreshStatus::NoProfile` means the auth store holds no profile for that model-provider (and profile name), so there is nothing to refresh and the CLI bails with a login hint.

Solutions

1. Log in first: `zeroclaw auth login --model-provider <provider>` (add `--profile <name>` if you use named profiles)
2. Check the provider slug and profile name — refresh must target the exact pair used at login
3. If a raw token is all you have, `zeroclaw auth paste-token`/`setup-token` also creates the profile, after which refresh works

Example fix

# before
zeroclaw auth refresh --model-provider anthropic   # never logged in on this machine
# after
zeroclaw auth login --model-provider anthropic
zeroclaw auth refresh --model-provider anthropic

# verify a profile exists before refreshing
zeroclaw auth status --model-provider "$p" 2>/dev/null | grep -q . \
  || echo "no stored profile; login will be required" >&2

if ! zeroclaw auth refresh --model-provider "$p" 2>/tmp/auth_err; then
  grep -q "No auth profile found" /tmp/auth_err \
    && zeroclaw auth login --model-provider "$p" \
    && zeroclaw auth refresh --model-provider "$p" \
    || { cat /tmp/auth_err; exit 1; }
fi

When it happens

Trigger: `zeroclaw auth refresh --model-provider <provider>` before any successful `auth login`/`paste-token`/`setup-token` for that provider, with a wrong --profile name, or after `auth logout` or a wiped credentials/data directory.

Common situations: Fresh machine or a new data dir (changed config/data location); typo'd provider slug or profile name ('default' vs a named profile); credentials removed by logout, OS cleanup, or a container rebuild.
