Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Ignoring initialization and authentication errors during provider client generation allows downstream processes to assume authentication succeeded, leading to unauthorized actions. Ensure client objects are never returned alongside unhandled errors.
Auth Bypass: Dropping Swift authentication errors allows the client creation process to proceed despite failed credentials, bypassing authentication constraints. Every authentication handler must explicitly check and bubble up authentication errors.
