docs: update authentication methods to reflect OAuth discontinuation (#3325 )

* docs: update authentication methods to reflect OAuth discontinuation

Remove deprecated Qwen OAuth references and update documentation to
direct users to valid authentication methods (API Key, Coding Plan,
or Local Inference) following the OAuth free tier discontinuation on
2026-04-15.

Closes #3316

* docs: fix quickstart auth description to match actual /auth UI

The /auth command shows three options: Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan,
API Key, and Qwen OAuth (discontinued). Updated quickstart.md to
accurately reflect this UI instead of splitting into Option A/B/C.

Also updated settings.md, commands.md, and troubleshooting.md with
minor OAuth-related cleanups.

* docs: update .qwen workspace description in quickstart

Remove reference to 'Qwen account' since OAuth is discontinued.
The .qwen directory is created by Qwen Code itself for storing
credentials, configuration, and session data.

* docs: fix warning block formatting in quickstart

- Add missing '>' continuation for the OAuth discontinuation warning block

* docs: update README Qwen3.6-Plus description

- Remove mention of running Qwen3.6-Plus locally via Ollama/vLLM
- Keep only the Alibaba Cloud ModelStudio API key option

* docs: address review feedback - remove Local Inference from auth, add dual-region links

- Local Inference removed from auth method lists, kept as separate
  'Local Model Setup' section with detailed Ollama/vLLM config examples
- All links now provide dual-region URLs (Beijing + intl)
- .qwen workspace note restored to original meaning (cost tracking)
- Device auth flow error kept scoped to legacy OAuth
- API setup guide links updated with confirmed intl URL

Qwen Code overview

Learn about Qwen Code, Qwen's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.

Get started in 30 seconds

Install Qwen Code:

Linux / macOS

curl -fsSL https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen.sh | bash

Windows (Run as Administrator)

powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest 'https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen.bat' -OutFile (Join-Path $env:TEMP 'install-qwen.bat'); & (Join-Path $env:TEMP 'install-qwen.bat')"

Note

It's recommended to restart your terminal after installation to ensure environment variables take effect. If the installation fails, please refer to Manual Installation in the Quickstart guide.

Start using Qwen Code:

cd your-project
qwen

Choose your authentication method — API Key or Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan (intl) — and follow the prompts to configure. See the API setup guide (Beijing / intl) for step-by-step instructions. Then let's start with understanding your codebase. Try one of these commands:

what does this project do?

You'll be prompted to log in on first use. That's it! Continue with Quickstart (5 mins) →

Tip

See troubleshooting if you hit issues.

Note

New VS Code Extension (Beta): Prefer a graphical interface? Our new VS Code extension provides an easy-to-use native IDE experience without requiring terminal familiarity. Simply install from the marketplace and start coding with Qwen Code directly in your sidebar. Download and install the Qwen Code Companion now.

What Qwen Code does for you

Build features from descriptions: Tell Qwen Code what you want to build in plain language. It will make a plan, write the code, and ensure it works.
Debug and fix issues: Describe a bug or paste an error message. Qwen Code will analyze your codebase, identify the problem, and implement a fix.
Navigate any codebase: Ask anything about your team's codebase, and get a thoughtful answer back. Qwen Code maintains awareness of your entire project structure, can find up-to-date information from the web, and with MCP can pull from external datasources like Google Drive, Figma, and Slack.
Automate tedious tasks: Fix fiddly lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, and write release notes. Do all this in a single command from your developer machines, or automatically in CI.
Followup suggestions: Qwen Code predicts what you want to type next and shows it as ghost text. Press Tab to accept, or just keep typing to dismiss.

Why developers love Qwen Code

Works in your terminal: Not another chat window. Not another IDE. Qwen Code meets you where you already work, with the tools you already love.
Takes action: Qwen Code can directly edit files, run commands, and create commits. Need more? MCP lets Qwen Code read your design docs in Google Drive, update your tickets in Jira, or use your custom developer tooling.
Unix philosophy: Qwen Code is composable and scriptable. tail -f app.log | qwen -p "Slack me if you see any anomalies appear in this log stream" works. Your CI can run qwen -p "If there are new text strings, translate them into French and raise a PR for @lang-fr-team to review".
