## Summary This PR fixes a bug where `version --remote` (and other CLI commands) fails if a local configuration file is missing, even when a valid token is provided. By relaxing the strict dependency on the physical config file, the CLI now supports token-only authentication in stateless environments. ## Changes - **Credential Loading Logic**: Updated the `load()` method in `client.py` to check for an existing `api_token` when a `FileNotFoundError` occurs. - **Error Handling**: Prevent `AirflowCtlCredentialNotFoundException` from being raised if a token is already present, allowing the client to initialize using the provided credentials. - **Improved Flexibility**: Enabled support for environments (such as CI/CD or containerized tasks) where authentication is handled via environment variables/tokens rather than a local `credentials` file. --- ##### Was generative AI tooling used to co-author this PR? <!-- If generative AI tooling has been used in the process of authoring this PR, please change below checkbox to `[X]` followed by the name of the tool, uncomment the "Generated-by". --> - [X ] Yes (please specify the tool below) GPT 5.3 codex <!-- Generated-by: [Tool Name] following [the guidelines](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/05_pull_requests.rst#gen-ai-assisted-contributions) --> --- * Read the **[Pull Request Guidelines](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/05_pull_requests.rst#pull-request-guidelines)** for more information.
