Resolves the credential as a session would, refreshing an OAuth one about to lapse, and sends its server an MCP `initialize` with it. A server that refuses an OAuth credential gets one refresh and one more try; refused again, or refused a refresh, the credential is marked `reconnect_required`. A credential already marked is not sent.
