Summary
Adds an Authentication section under Existing agents on the Agents docs page, documenting how to configure API credentials for Claude Code across all supported providers:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY/OPENAI_API_KEYsetup--aeflagContext
There was no documentation for how to authenticate agents with model providers. Users had to read source code or find the answer in closed PR descriptions (#605, #852). This was a common friction point — see issues like #937 (Bedrock env var mismatch) and #430 (custom endpoints).
