fix: stop AniList setup reopening on Linux when keyring token exists

- Gate setup success on token persistence: `saveToken` now returns `boolean`; on failure, keeps the setup window open instead of reporting success
- Config reload passes `allowSetupPrompt: false` so playback reloads don't re-open the setup window
- Add regression test for persistence-failure path

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+AniList setup page reopens on Linux video launch even when the token exists in secret storage and post-watch updates can use it. Investigate setup gating versus update token refresh paths and make them agree on stored-token availability.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 Launching a video on Linux with an AniList token available in secret storage does not show the AniList setup page just because config accessToken is empty.
+- [x] #2 If secret storage load fails, setup/errors surface the underlying storage problem instead of behaving like an empty token.
+- [x] #3 Regression coverage exercises the setup-gate token availability path and preserves post-watch update token behavior.
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Patched AniList setup callback to require successful token persistence before caching/closing the setup flow. Patched config reload auth refresh to pass allowSetupPrompt:false so normal startup/playback reloads do not open AniList setup UI. Added regression coverage around persistence failure and non-prompting config refresh.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Fixed AniList setup/login flow so failed encrypted token persistence no longer reports success or seeds only an in-memory token. Config reload now refreshes AniList auth state without opening the setup window during playback, reducing repeated Linux setup prompts when safeStorage/keyring resolution fails.
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:END -->
