…headroomlabs-ai#1672)

## Description

`classify_auth_mode` (in `headroom/proxy/auth_mode.py`) checks for
Anthropic
OAuth tokens with:

```python
if token.startswith("sk-ant-oat-"):
    return AuthMode.OAUTH
if token.startswith("sk-ant-api") or token.startswith("sk-"):
    return AuthMode.PAYG
```

But real Anthropic OAuth access tokens are **`sk-ant-oat01-...`** — a
version
number right after `oat`, **no dash**. So the `sk-ant-oat-` check never
matches a
real token; it falls through to the broad `sk-` rule and gets classified
**`PAYG`**.

That's exactly the misclassification the module is built to prevent: a
subscription/OAuth-bound request tagged `PAYG` gets the
aggressive-compression
policy — lossy compression, auto `cache_control`, `prompt_cache_key`
injection —
instead of the passthrough-prefer path OAuth is meant to get.

The existing tests didn't catch it because they use a synthetic
`sk-ant-oat-01-`
fixture (dashed) that happens to match the buggy prefix. Corroboration
that the
real shape is dash-less:
- `.gitguardian.yaml` fixture: `sk-ant-oat01-oauth-fixture`
- `tests/test_oauth_bearer_routing.py`: `sk-ant-oat01-xxx`
- the sibling helper `headroom/proxy/helpers.py` matches on `sk-ant-`
(no `oat-`)

## Fix

Match the dash-less `sk-ant-oat` prefix. It still matches the legacy
dashed
shape, and ordering relative to `sk-ant-api` / `sk-` is unchanged (OAuth
is
still checked first).

```python
if token.startswith("sk-ant-oat"):
    return AuthMode.OAUTH
```

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

## Changes Made

- `headroom/proxy/auth_mode.py`: match OAuth tokens on the dash-less
`sk-ant-oat` prefix.
- `tests/test_auth_mode.py`: add a regression test using the real
`sk-ant-oat01-...` format (the existing test keeps the legacy dashed
fixture, which still classifies correctly).
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Bug Fixes entry under Unreleased.

## Testing

- [x] New regression test added (`tests/test_auth_mode.py`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check`) and formatting is clean (`ruff
format --check`)
- [ ] Full `pytest` deferred to CI (local-OOM reason below).

```text
$ uv run ruff check headroom/proxy/auth_mode.py tests/test_auth_mode.py
All checks passed!
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.12.11, headroom from this branch.
Importing `headroom` loads the torch/transformers stack and a full
`pytest` gets OOM-killed on this box, so I verified the classification
logic with a dependency-free script and left the full pytest to CI.
- Exact command / steps: replicated the Bearer-token branch of
`classify_auth_mode` in a standalone script (only stdlib, no `headroom`
import) and ran the real and legacy token shapes plus PAYG keys through
it.
- Observed result: the real `sk-ant-oat01-...` now classifies OAUTH (was
PAYG before the change); the legacy dashed fixture still classifies
OAUTH; `sk-ant-api*` / `sk-*` keys still classify PAYG:

```text
OK: sk-ant-oat01-... -> OAUTH (was PAYG before fix)
OK: sk-ant-oat-01-... -> OAUTH (legacy fixture still matches)
OK: sk-ant-api* / sk-* -> PAYG (unchanged)
AUTH LOGIC VERIFIED
```

- Not tested: a live proxied Anthropic OAuth request end-to-end (needs a
real subscription token); the classification is pure and covered by the
regression test. Full local `pytest` deferred to CI (OOM, per above).

## Review Readiness

- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style guidelines
- [x] I have performed a self-review of my code
- [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
- [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
- [x] My changes generate no new warnings
- [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my
feature works
- [ ] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes — ran
lint + a standalone logic check; full pytest deferred to CI (local OOM,
disclosed above)
- [x] I have updated the CHANGELOG.md if applicable

## Additional Notes

- `crates/headroom-core/src/auth_mode.rs` carries the identical dashed
prefix (its Rust test matrix uses the same synthetic dashed fixture). I
scoped this PR to the Python runtime classifier since that's the
request-time path; happy to mirror the one-line fix in Rust in the same
PR or a follow-up — I just couldn't `cargo build` locally to verify, so
I left it out rather than push an unverified Rust edit.
- @JerrettDavis tagging you since you've been triaging these — small,
contained fix with a regression test if you have a moment.
