When an agent is configured for CUSTOM_JWT but no OAuth credentials are stored and no --bearer-token is provided, the CLI silently fell back to SigV4 auth which always fails with a cryptic "Authorization method mismatch" error. Now the CLI returns a clear error message in the non-interactive path, and the TUI shows a warning guiding the user to press T to enter a token manually. Closes #814

CUSTOM_JWTbut no OAuth client credentials are stored (i.e.,--client-idand--client-secretwere not provided duringagentcore add agent),agentcore invokesilently falls back to SigV4 authentication. The runtime rejects SigV4 with a cryptic "Authorization method mismatch" error, giving the user no indication of what went wrong.This PR adds:
src/cli/commands/invoke/action.ts): Returns a clear error when CUSTOM_JWT is configured but no token is available, guiding the user to either provide--bearer-tokenor re-add the agent with--client-idand--client-secret.src/cli/tui/screens/invoke/useInvokeFlow.ts): Shows a warning message when auto-fetch isn't possible, guiding the user to press T to enter a token manually.Related Issue
