docs(xai-oauth): confirm token propagation is correct, add E2E regression tests (#29344)

[bradhallett]

Summary

Follow-up to #29344 (commits cc93053, b5ea6a5). SmelterLabs suspected a second-layer bug: _swap_credential might update the credential pool entry without propagating the refreshed token into the live OpenAI SDK client.

After a full trace of the propagation chain, token propagation is NOT broken:

_swap_credential(entry)
  → self._client_kwargs["api_key"]  = new_key
  → self._client_kwargs["base_url"] = new_url
  → self._replace_primary_openai_client(reason="credential_rotation")
      → self.client = OpenAI(**self._client_kwargs)

On the next API call, _create_request_openai_client does dict(self._client_kwargs) → the new key flows into the per-request client. The stale-token issue was entirely at the classifier layer, fixed by the parent commits.

Changes

• run_agent.py: Added docstring to _swap_credential documenting the propagation chain and confirming no gap exists
• tests/run_agent/test_xai_oauth_token_propagation.py (new): 10 E2E regression tests exercising the full path — stale token → 403 → recovery → _swap_credential (NOT stubbed) → verify new token propagated to _client_kwargs, api_key, and per-request client

Test plan

pytest tests/run_agent/test_xai_oauth_token_propagation.py -v   # 10 passed
pytest tests/agent/test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py -v          # 37 passed (existing)

Refs #29344

Thanks for tracing the second-layer concern and adding targeted coverage. Current main already updates _client_kwargs and rebuilds the primary client in run_agent.py:4539-4544, while request clients copy that state in run_agent.py:4124-4142; the direct regression coverage is still useful because the existing #29344 test stubs _swap_credential at tests/run_agent/test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py:858-886.

Problems

• The proposed recovery tests patch _replace_primary_openai_client, so the tests described as E2E do not exercise the shared-client rebuild that is central to the propagation claim. Capture the client factory instead and assert the refresh-path rebuild receives the refreshed token.
• The new narrative says _replace_primary_openai_client directly performs OpenAI(**self._client_kwargs), but current main calls _create_openai_client at run_agent.py:4038, whose construction is now in agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py:1677-1769. The historical line-number references will also be stale after salvage.

Suggested changes

• Keep one end-to-end-style recovery test that observes both the replacement client and the next request-scoped client without stubbing the replacement method.
• Rewrite the documentation around the stable method contracts rather than implementation line numbers.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

This patches the shared-client rebuild, so this recovery test cannot verify the live primary client receives the refreshed token. Capture the OpenAI factory instead and assert the replacement client receives refreshed-token-456.

Please avoid documenting the direct OpenAI(**self._client_kwargs) implementation detail. Current main routes this through _create_openai_client; describing that stable boundary will survive the refactor.
