## Title

    [Claude Code via Claude apps gateway] 'Cloud gateway session expired — run /login to reconnect.' / headless 'Cloud gateway <url> no longer accepts this session' / 'Gateway refused the request · signi…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Expired/rejected session requires interactive /login (non-interactive runs can't re-auth); 403 is a policy refusal re-login can't fix (pre-v2.1.273 shown as generic 'Please run /login').
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - Re-running /login for 'Gateway refused the request' — docs say it won't change the refusal
    
    Other error fragments:
    - no longer accepts this session. Start `claude` and sign in again with /login.
    - Gateway refused the request · signing in again won't change this — check with your gateway administrator · API Error: 403
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#gateway-refused-the-request (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Errors doc documents the expiry, non-interactive exit wording, and 403 refusal message that re-login won't fix.
    
    Search phrasings: claude code Cloud gateway session expired; claude -p gateway no longer accepts this session; claude code Gateway refused the request 403
