Describe the Bug

Observed behaviour

If you have previously performed a wrangler login and then attempt to use a command that supports --local and your session has expired, wrangler opens a browser to re-auth before attempting to execute the command.

pnpm exec wrangler kv key put "test-token" "1" --namespace-id wrangler-local-id  --local

Expected behaviour

Usage of --local does not invoke a re-auth

Steps to reproduce

I was able to reproduce this on an older macos system, and on a windows 11 system (with both powershell, and debian wsl).

• Perform a wrangler login
• Wait for expiry
• Attempt to use a command that invokes --local
  • pnpm exec wrangler kv key put "test-token" "1" --namespace-id wrangler-local-id --local
• Should not attempt a re-auth that

Workaround

• Perform a wrangler logout and ignore the opened browser window
• After this, usage of --local works as expected
