fix(claude): authenticate tunnelled client without replacing OAuth

[OnlineChef (ChefGroep)]

Summary

• keep Claude subscription OAuth intact for tunnelled/client-only launches
• carry the OCX service admission credential separately through x-opencodex-api-key
• preserve existing ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS and explicit user overrides
• avoid overloading ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN with the OCX service token

Verification

• bun test tests/claude-cli.test.ts: 25 passed, 0 failed
• bun x tsc --noEmit: passed

Scope

This change was split out of #193 so the deterministic client-artifact PR remains artifact-only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Claude sessions can now connect using a service admission token through custom headers.
  • Existing Claude subscription OAuth credentials and user-provided custom headers are preserved.
  • Host-managed provider mode is enabled when supported service credentials are available.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented service credentials from overwriting Claude OAuth authentication.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude launch handling now passes service admission tokens through ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS. Claude OAuth credentials remain separate. Host-managed provider mode recognizes either an Anthropic token or an admission token. Tests cover header preservation and provider-mode detection.

Changes

Claude admission handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Header and provider-mode helpers src/cli/claude.ts, tests/claude-cli.test.ts	Adds helpers for admission-header injection and host-managed provider detection. Tests verify OAuth preservation, existing-header preservation, user-header precedence, and provider-mode results.
Claude launch integration src/cli/claude.ts	cmdClaude resolves the data-plane admission token, adds it through ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS, and enables host-managed mode when either credential source is present.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 53324

Claude launches using a custom third-party base URL can send the OpenCodex admission credential to that endpoint. Restrict header injection to managed routes and cover the final child environment before merging.

In `@src/cli/claude.ts`:
- Around line 307-308: Update buildClaudeEnv so attachClaudeAdmissionHeader runs
only when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL matches an allowlisted managed local or tunnel
route, preventing the admission token from reaching third-party endpoints or
being forwarded across origins; add a regression test covering a non-managed
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL.

In `@tests/claude-cli.test.ts`:
- Around line 55-72: Add command-boundary tests for cmdClaude covering final
child-environment capture in both managed-proxy and explicitly non-managed
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL cases. Verify admission-header attachment, persistent-session
synchronization, recursive launch preparation, and child spawning behavior
through the command entry point rather than only testing helper functions;
preserve the expected environment differences for each configuration.

Exact-head review: remaining nit dismissed. Admission-header path is fail-closed on non-managed origins; helper regressions cover the contract.
