beta.17: adopt login WebView for API calls, add diagnostics

didFinish only fires for cross-document (full page) navigations. After
loading https://claude.ai/login the SPA redirects authenticated users
via history.pushState to /new — this changes the URL visually but never
fires didFinish, so auth was never detected.

KVO on webView.url fires for every URL change including SPA pushState,
covering the case where the app routes client-side after the initial
page load. Both KVO and didFinish now call the same checkCurrentURL
helper so detection is not missed regardless of navigation type.

+## What's new in v1.2.1-beta.17
+
+### Bug fixes
+- Fixed "Not signed in" after login by adopting the login WebView directly for API calls — the login WebView is proven-authenticated (user just completed sign-in in it), so reusing it eliminates the problem where a separately-loaded background WebView might not have the full auth context (localStorage tokens, Service Worker state) that claude.ai requires
+- Added diagnostic error messages: JS errors, WebView URL, and unexpected response types are now surfaced in the error banner to aid future debugging
+
 ## What's new in v1.2.1
 
 ### Bug fixes
-- Fixed "Not signed in" showing incorrectly on launch when the session was already active
+- Fixed the root cause of "Not signed in" after being clearly signed in: claude.ai's auth requires credentials beyond plain HTTP cookies (localStorage tokens, Service Worker state, etc.) that URLSession cannot access. All API calls now run via callAsyncJavaScript inside a background WKWebView, using the same fetch path the page itself uses — credentials are included automatically.
-- Sign-in state is now detected immediately from stored cookies on startup, before the first data refresh completes
+- Fixed WebKit suspending the background WKWebView: a WKWebView with no window is throttled/suspended by macOS, preventing JS execution. The background WebView is now anchored in a transparent 1×1 NSWindow, keeping it active.
-- Fixed login window auto-closing before the user could sign in — the login window now correctly loads the `/login` page so it only detects auth after the actual sign-in redirect
+- Fixed login window auto-closing before sign-in completes — login window loads `/login` and only detects auth when back on claude.ai (not on OAuth provider redirects)
-- Fixed "No API key configured" showing after signing out — now correctly shows "Not signed in" with a prompt to sign in
+- Added `/api/organizations` as a final fallback for org ID resolution
-- Added `/api/organizations` as a final fallback for org ID resolution when the bootstrap API response doesn't include it
+- Fixed Settings incorrectly showing "Signed in" after a failed refresh
-- Fixed usage data not loading — API requests now include required browser-like headers (Origin, Referer, User-Agent)
-- Fixed Settings incorrectly showing "Signed in" after a failed refresh — sign-in state now resets when authentication fails
-- Rewrote login detection to use the WebView's own fetch call instead of inspecting cookie domains — correctly detects auth regardless of which domain the session token is stored on
-- Fixed API requests not including session cookies — now sends all cookies from the app's WebView store rather than filtering by domain
