feat(auth): OAuth Marathon - multi-account credential rotation

[jroth1111]

OAuth Marathon 🏃

Keep running when you hit the wall. This PR adds automatic credential rotation for OAuth providers - when one account hits rate limits or auth errors, opencode seamlessly switches to your next available credential within the same provider.

Note: This rotates between multiple accounts within the same provider (e.g., two OpenAI logins), not between different providers.

Closes #8591

Works for all OAuth providers — both core providers and plugins.

For plugin authors: Plugins that manage their own multi-account pools internally must register each account via Auth.addOAuth() to benefit from this feature.

The Problem

Using OAuth providers with personal subscriptions often means hitting rate limits mid-session. Currently, when this happens, your request fails and you're stuck waiting.

The Solution

Register multiple OAuth accounts for the same provider, and opencode will automatically:

• Rotate on 429 - Rate limited? Next credential steps in
• Retry on 401/403 - Force token refresh, failover if still failing
• Recover from network errors - Transient failures don't stop the run
• Track health - Cooldown periods prevent hammering exhausted credentials
• All exhausted - Returns the last error response gracefully

How to Add Multiple Accounts

Run opencode auth login multiple times for the same provider:

opencode auth login   # Login with first account
opencode auth login   # Login with second account (adds, doesn't replace)

Demo

OpenAI Account 1 → 429 Rate Limited
               ↓ (automatic)
OpenAI Account 2 → 200 OK ✅
               ↓
Toast: "Rate limited on openai. Switching OAuth credential..."

Configuration (Optional)

Per-provider settings in opencode.json. Sensible defaults are used if omitted:

{
  "provider": {
    "openai": {
      "oauth": {
        "maxAttempts": 3,                // default: number of accounts
        "rateLimitCooldownMs": 60000,    // default: 30000
        "authFailureCooldownMs": 300000, // default: 300000
        "toastDurationMs": 5000          // default: 8000
      }
    }
  }
}

Changes

• src/auth/rotating-fetch.ts - Core rotation logic
• src/auth/context.ts - AsyncLocalStorage for request scoping
• src/auth/credential-manager.ts - Toast notifications
• src/auth/index.ts - OAuth pool management & persistence
• src/config/config.ts - New oauth config schema
• test/auth/oauth-rotation.test.ts - 10 test cases

Verification

How I tested:

• 10 unit tests covering core scenarios and edge cases
• All tests pass

Test Coverage

• ✅ 429 rotation with Retry-After header
• ✅ Retry-After HTTP date format support
• ✅ 401/403 with forced refresh recovery
• ✅ 401/403 failover when refresh fails
• ✅ Sticky credential until rate limited
• ✅ Non-replayable bodies (streaming)
• ✅ All credentials exhausted
• ✅ Network error failover
• ✅ Request.clone failure handling
• ✅ Refresh token record matching

Potential Duplicate Found

PR #5754: auth: multi-account OAuth subscription failover
#5754

Why it's related: This PR appears to address the same core functionality - multi-account OAuth credential failover. Both PRs are designed to handle credential rotation when one account fails (rate limits, auth errors). The current PR (#8590) seems to be an evolution or reimplementation of this concept with the "OAuth Marathon" feature set, including automatic rotation on 429/401/403 errors and cooldown tracking.

You should verify:

1. Is PR auth: multi-account OAuth subscription failover #5754 already merged or closed?
2. Are there architectural differences between the two implementations?
3. Should PR feat(auth): OAuth Marathon - multi-account credential rotation #8590 build on top of auth: multi-account OAuth subscription failover #5754 instead of reimplementing?

[jroth1111]

This supersedes #5754 with a simpler, more maintainable approach:

• File-based storage instead of OS keychain — avoids complexity and potential conflicts with [FEATURE]: Allow storage of secrets in system credential store. #4318's broader keyring work
• Per-provider configurable options — cooldowns, maxAttempts, toast duration
• Cleaner architecture — separated concerns (context.ts, credential-manager.ts)
• Comprehensive test coverage — 8 tests with 100% function coverage on rotation logic
