Positron Assistant Claude
Describe the issue:
Hi, I am looking to be able to use the ability for OAuth with Positron Assistant. Right now only the API Key ability can be used and my company is on a subscription model so we only have SSO login not individual API Keys.
Expected or desired behavior:
Ability to OAuth / SSO in to Anthropic Positron Assistant
Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Positron Assistant Anthropic integration and its API-key authentication path; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare that flow with the requested OAuth/SSO behavior and identify the authentication entry points and provider constraints before proposing scope; done means Anthropic subscription users can sign in without an individual API key.
