## Title

    [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, expired OAuth…

## Body

    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.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/harness/claude_code.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Claude harness auth_check_command is '<cli> auth status --json' and runtime_error_patterns list credit, limit, invalid key, disabled org, not logged in, OAuth revoked/expired and 429 strings.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/harness/codex.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Codex harness auth check is '<cli> login status' with patterns for quota, 401, invalid key, Cloudflare block, token refresh and invalid_request_error.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/harness_output_monitor.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Monitor scans harness output for these patterns and confirms a stall before reporting.

    Search phrasings: warp oz harness could not make a successful API request; oz claude harness Credit balance too low; warp oz codex harness authentication check failed
