## Title

    [Braintrust SDK] "Re-logging in with different apiKey (…) than original (…). To force re-login, pass `forceLogin: true`"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Login state is global; differing inputs are rejected unless forceLogin is passed.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Error text contains the API key argument in plain form; redact before sharing logs.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/braintrustdata/braintrust-sdk/cc165a4843805b531645ddb1d27969204aab9ade/js/src/logger.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): checkUpdatedParam throws when login inputs differ from the existing state unless forceLogin is true.
    
    Search phrasings: braintrust Re-logging in with different apiKey forceLogin; braintrust multiple api keys same process
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
