'claude-code-transcripts web' should recover from authentication errors #40

Description

Sometimes the token it uses has expired. Looks like running a fresh Claude Code session fixes that:

~ % uvx claude-code-transcripts web --gist
Error: API request failed: 401 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"authentication_error","message":"Authentication failed"},"request_id":"req_011CWiyYxyRWoR49zdBFg56U"}
~ % claude -p hi
Hello! How can I help you today?
~ % uvx claude-code-transcripts web --gist
? Select a session to import: 2026-01-02T17:30:01  Link truncation markers to co
lophon
...

So the web command should catch that 401 error and see if it can run a short claude -p prompt to refresh the token, then try again. It should only try this once though.
