Auth healing pattern for autonomous agents: a 60-line approach

The problem

Autonomous agents lose auth state during long runs. Token rotation, OAuth refreshes, and session timeouts all silently break.

The pattern

Detect AUTH_FAILURE in any tool call, attempt single retry with fresh credential pull from vault, escalate to operator only on second failure. 60 lines, language-agnostic.

Part of Safety Pack v1.2 ($49 lifetime). Three patterns free on GitHub.

Landing: safety-pack-landing.vercel.app
