Cause (Documented platform behavior): Login session refresh token expired / user password or credentials changed, or the principal lacks signin:CreateOAuth2Token.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Derived from source; not reproduced.
- Older SDKs predating the provider won't recognize these profiles at all.
Other error fragments:
- Unable to create or refresh login credentials due to insufficient permissions. You may be missing permission for the 'signin:CreateOAuth2Token' action.

Proposed fix: [AWS 'aws login' console-credentials profiles, botocore >= 1.41.0] "Your session has expired or credentials have changed. Please reauthenticate using 'aws login'." / missing 'signin:Crea
Recommended action: Re-run `aws login` (use `--remote` on headless hosts); for the permission error grant signin:CreateOAuth2Token to the principal; for unattended agents prefer role-based credentials.
