Bug

When credentials are stored in the system keychain, asc review details-create fails because it attempts to read the .p8 private key file from its original disk path instead of using the keychain.

Steps to reproduce

Authenticate with asc auth and store credentials in the system keychain
Delete the .p8 file from disk (as recommended for security)
Verify auth works: asc auth status shows credentials stored in keychain
Run any other command (e.g. asc localizations list) — works fine
Run asc review details-create --version-id "VERSION_ID" --contact-phone "+1234567890" — fails

Expected behavior

The command should use the keychain-stored credentials, same as all other commands.

Actual behavior

Error: review details-create: invalid private key: failed to open key file: open /Users/.../AuthKey_XXXXXXXX.p8: no such file or directory

Environment

Auth method: System Keychain
Other commands (localizations update, categories set, age-rating set, pricing schedule create) all work correctly with keychain auth
Only review details-create tries to read the .p8 file from disk

Workaround

Set review details via the App Store Connect web UI instead.

Awesome, thank you for the quick fix.
I can confirm it works, I just had to run asc auth login again, and next run it picked up from the keychain!
