Auth

I have the following config which seems to not be applied with agent-shell-new-shell

(setq-default agent-shell-google-authentication
              (agent-shell-google-make-authentication :none t))

agent-shell-google-start-gemini probably works because it creates the config on the spot where as agent-shell-new-shell uses the defaults when loaded.

(defcustom agent-shell-agent-configs
  (agent-shell--make-default-agent-configs) ;; <---- too soon, I haven't set authentication
