- #91119: \[Bug\]: key_cmd providers never re-mint on 401 — no recovery path exists for command-minted credentials
- PR #139207: fix(key_cmd): cache, classify and recover key_cmd credentials correctly

Three members concern key_cmd providers: one bug report says command-minted credentials are not re-minted after a 401, and two fix pull requests propose re-minting once on an auth failure and improving caching, classification, and recovery. The titles suggest a shared theme, but they do not show whether any change was merged or works.

## TL;DR
