Pull request overview
Updates the hidden azd auth token command to be more shell/script-friendly by emitting the raw access token by default, while keeping --output json for structured output with metadata.
Changes:
- Allow
noneoutput format forazd auth tokenand set it as the default. - Adjust the action runtime behavior to print the raw token when
--output none(default) is in effect. - Add unit coverage validating the default/raw-token output behavior.

Reviewed 3 changed files. The NoneFormat handling follows the established pattern in auth_login.go and auth_status.go. The OutputFormats fix correctly addresses the registration gap that made the command error without --output json. Test coverage looks good - new unit test covers the raw token path, existing tests cover the JSON path.
The copilot bot's inline comment about checking the fmt.Fprintln error is worth addressing before merge.
LGTM.
Allow `azd auth token` to print the raw access token by default so it is easier to use in shells and scripts, while preserving `--output json` for callers that need structured token details. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Previous fmt.Fprintln comment still open - worth addressing before merge. No new issues from the latest push. The test format change in auto_install_integration_test.go correctly uses "unknown" now that "none" is valid.
