Add prominent warnings about Anthropic's Agent SDK policy regarding
subscription-based authentication for third-party agents. Users are
now advised to use API keys instead of `claude login` to avoid
potential account suspension.
Changes:
- README: Add WARNING and NOTE admonition boxes at top (auth policy
+ repo no longer actively maintained)
- README: Flip auth recommendation to API key first, subscription second
- SettingsModal: Add amber warning Alert when Claude provider is selected
- auth.py: Update CLI/server help messages to recommend API key as Option 1
- Start scripts (start.sh, start.bat, start_ui.sh): Mention ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
alongside claude login in all auth hints
- start.py, autonomous_agent_demo.py: Update help text references
No functionality removed — subscription auth still works, warnings are
informational only.

.credentials.json file check (matching start.sh behavior)

client.py to remove references to deprecated .credentials.json

race conditions when multiple features are created simultaneously
- Apply lock to feature_create, feature_create_bulk, and feature_skip
- Add checkAndSendTimeoutRef cleanup in useAssistantChat.ts to
prevent memory leaks on component unmount
- Clear currentAssistantMessageRef on response_done
## Code Quality
