fix(anthropic): write scopes field to Claude Code credentials on token refresh#4126
Merged
Conversation
…n refresh Claude Code >=2.1.81 checks for a 'scopes' array containing 'user:inference' in ~/.claude/.credentials.json before accepting stored OAuth tokens as valid. When Hermes refreshes the token, it writes only accessToken, refreshToken, and expiresAt — omitting the scopes field. This causes Claude Code to report 'loggedIn: false' and refuse to start, even though the token is valid. This commit: - Parses the 'scope' field from the OAuth refresh response - Passes it to _write_claude_code_credentials() as a keyword argument - Persists the scopes array in the claudeAiOauth credential store - Preserves existing scopes when the refresh response omits the field Tested against Claude Code v2.1.87 on Linux — auth status correctly reports loggedIn: true and claude --print works after this fix.

Salvage of #4118 by @ticketclosed-wontfix — cherry-picked onto current main.
When Hermes refreshes a Claude Code OAuth token, it writes
accessToken,refreshToken,expiresAtback to~/.claude/.credentials.jsonbut wipes thescopesfield. Claude Code >= 2.1.81 gates on"user:inference"inscopesbefore accepting the token, causing it to report "Not logged in" after a Hermes-driven refresh.Fix: parse
scopefrom the OAuth refresh response, persist it in the credential store, and preserve existing scopes when the refresh response omits the field.Closes #4118
