+### English
+
+- CodeArts (码道) console credential import works again: the adapter exposes its importer where the console looks for it, so pasting a `codearts-oauth-v1` credential no longer answers `unsupported_format`.

+### 中文

+- 码道（CodeArts）控制台「导入凭证」恢复正常：适配器按控制台查找的位置暴露导入器，粘贴 `codearts-oauth-v1` 凭证不再返回 `unsupported_format`。
