- #92606: Anthropic OAuth (hermes_pkce/dashboard_pkce): stale credential file overwrites rotated token and two pool rows share one single-use refresh token -> 401 revoked -> empty pool

These items concern a bug where stale credential files overwrite rotated tokens and shared refresh logic incorrectly consumes single-use tokens, leading to 401 errors and empty pools. The work addresses keeping OAuth sessions valid through token rotation.
