Does https://happy.engineering/ need to use the API keys or can use oauth? It's basically a frontend for claude-cli.

It doesn't even touch auth right?

That tool clearly falls under ordinary individual use of Claude code. https://yepanywhere.com/ is another such tool. Perfectly ordinary individual usage.

The TOS are confusing because just below that section it talks about authentication/credential use. If an app starts reading api keys / credentials, that starts falling into territory where they want a hard line no.
If it's a wrapper that invokes the `claude` binary then I believe it's fine.
Is there a way to legally or even practically prevent this? `claude` CLI execution in a shell is certainly included in the subscription - it’s the product.
Practically; yes. MMOs have been doing this kind of thing (Preventing alteration / automation of the client) for ages now.
