fix(auth): prefer stored OAuth over env token by default (#646)
When SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN is set by build tooling (e.g. the Sentry wizard) but lacks the scopes needed for interactive CLI commands, the CLI now prefers stored OAuth credentials by default. OAuth-preferred default: when the user is logged in via OAuth, env tokens are automatically skipped. This prevents wizard-generated build tokens from silently overriding interactive credentials. Set SENTRY_FORCE_ENV_TOKEN=1 to restore the old env-token-first priority. Key changes: - getEnvToken() returns undefined when stored OAuth credentials exist, cascading through all consumers (isEnvTokenActive, refreshToken, etc.) - SENTRY_FORCE_ENV_TOKEN env var to force env token priority - sentry auth login no longer blocks when an env token is present - sentry auth status shows env token info (active vs bypassed) - Enhanced 401/403 error messages when env token is the only auth source
