Claude Code 2.1.x stores the Keychain item as hex JSON. Parsing it as UTF-8 JSON failed and skipped ~/.claude/.credentials.json, so usage limits reported unauthenticated while the CLI was logged in.

What was wrong
Claude Code 2.1.x stores the macOS Keychain item
Claude Code-credentialsas hex-encoded JSON (7b…={).provider-maintenanceparsed that blob withJSON.parseas UTF-8, failed, and never fell through to~/.claude/.credentials.jsonbecause the Keychain read had already succeeded. Settings → Usage limits then reported Claude asunauthenticatedwhile the CLI was logged in.What changed
~/.claude/.credentials.json.HOST_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSIONbump: this is local credential parsing, not a wire change.How you verified
pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/bridge/provider-maintenance.test.tsinplugins/provider-claude-code(3 passed, including the new hex fixture).GET /api/v1/system/usage-limitsreturns Claude session/weekly windows instead ofunauthenticated.Fixes #2928
