Summary by cubic
Agents now reuse stored HEY credentials instead of running a browser OAuth preflight before data commands, so unattended runs no longer trigger unnecessary login prompts.
hey auth status --jsonis reserved for explicit checks; the skill no longer directs agents to run it as a preflight.HEY_NONINTERACTIVE=1is now documented as the no-prompt guarantee for unattended PTY sessions.Fixes #147.
