#' Cached token credential authentication
#'
#' @description
#' A credential class that retrieves tokens from the cache only, without
#' triggering interactive authentication flows. This is useful for non-interactive
#' sessions where you want to use previously cached tokens from DeviceCode or
#' AuthCode credentials.
#'
#' @details
#' This credential attempts to retrieve cached tokens from a chain of interactive
#' credentials (AuthCode and DeviceCode by default). It will not prompt for new
#' authentication - it only returns tokens that are already cached.
#'
#' This is particularly useful for:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item Non-interactive R sessions (e.g., scheduled scripts, CI/CD)
#'   \item Scenarios where you've previously authenticated interactively and want
#'     to reuse those cached tokens
#' }
#'
#' @field .scope Character string specifying the authentication scope.
#' @field .tenant_id Character string specifying the tenant ID.
#' @field .client_id Character string specifying the client ID.
#' @field .chain List of credential classes to attempt for cached tokens.
