Cause (Documented platform behavior): Before launching, the driver runs the harness's auth check (claude auth status --json, codex login status). While running, a monitor scans the harness terminal block on a backoff schedule for known failure substrings per harness and, after confirming the output has stalled (up to 60 s), fails the task instead of letting the CLI hang.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the open-source warpdotdev/Warp repository at the cited commit; the shipped Warp/oz binary may lag or differ.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- This usually means the API key is invalid, out of credits, or the account is misconfigured.
- authentication check failed: login credentials are invalid or expired. Verify that the authentication secret configured for this harness is correct.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- The task is marked failed with AuthenticationRequired shortly after start; the excerpt shows e.g. 'Credit balance too low', 'You've hit your ... limit', 'Invalid API key', 'OAuth token has expired', 'Quota exceeded', 'unexpected status 401', 'could not be refreshed'.
- Context
- Product: Warp Oz agents (oz CLI / cloud agents) Component: agent driver: harness output monitor and auth preflight Operation: Running an Oz task with --harness claude or codex using a configured auth secret Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Trigger: Expired/invalid Anthropic or OpenAI credentials attached to the run, exhausted credits or plan limits, org disabled, region blocks ('Access blocked by Cloudflare'), or a failing `claude auth status --json` / `codex login status` preflight.

Proposed fix: [Warp Oz third-party harness] Task fails fast: "Harness '<claude|codex>' could not make a successful API request. Matched failure pattern '<p>' in harness output" (credits, invalid key,
Recommended action: Fix the credential in the harness auth secret (re-create/refresh the Anthropic/OpenAI key or OAuth login), top up credits or wait for plan limits, then rerun.
Option: Fix the credential in the harness auth secret (re-create/refresh the Anthropic/OpenAI key or OAuth login), top up credits or wait for plan limits, then rerun. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Running an Oz task with --harness claude or codex using a configured auth secret
Steps:
1. Read the matched pattern/excerpt in the task error.
2. Rotate or re-create the auth secret attached to the agent/run.
3. Check provider billing/limits.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
