Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing authentication token lifecycle and auth response, then identify the entry point for the proposed check_auth_status tool. Done means tokens refresh near expiry, the status result includes valid, expires_at, and user_email, and invalid tokens produce a clear error.
