`gmail +send` shows "grant profile scope" tip and sends with null From name even when profile scope is granted

[benshields]

Summary

gws gmail +send always prints the tip Tip: run gws auth login and grant the "profile" scope to include your display name in the From header, and sends emails with a null display name in the From field — even when the userinfo.profile scope is already granted.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Authenticate with profile scope:

   gws auth login
   

2. Confirm profile scope is present in the auth response:

   {
     "scopes": [
       "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify",
       "openid",
       "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
       "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"
     ]
   }

3. Send an email:

   gws gmail +send --to "yourself@example.com" --subject "test" --body "Testing from header"
   

4. Observe the tip is still printed to stderr.
5. Read the sent message:

   gws gmail +read --id <message_id> --format json
   

6. Observe from.name is null:

   {
     "from": {
       "name": null,
       "email": "user@example.com"
     }
   }

Expected Behavior

• The tip should not appear when the profile scope is already granted.
• The From header should include the user's display name (fetched via the People/UserInfo API using the granted profile scope).

Actual Behavior

• The tip prints unconditionally on every +send invocation.
• The From name is always null regardless of granted scopes.
