⚠️ Release note — paste into the release description at release prep

basecamp auth login --with-token imports a personal access token. Pipe a
token from a secret store — never as an argument — and it is stored under a
named profile with whatever expiry the server reports, creating the profile when
--account names its account:
op read "op://Vault/Item/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999.
The token is verified against the server before anything is kept.

Every login can now assert who it signed in as. --expect-identity <id>
discards the new credential (restoring a profile's previous one) and exits
non-zero when the server reports a different identity — browser, device, and
token imports alike. --json on a token import returns the envelope with the
profile, account, identity, person, oauth_type, scope, and expires_at (the server-reported expiry, or null).

Interactive logins refuse machine output modes. basecamp auth login --json
(or --agent, --quiet, …) used to print prose and block for minutes on
approval; it now exits immediately with a usage error pointing at
auth status and --with-token. A configured format: json is unaffected.

BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER pins the OAuth authorization server for the
production dark pilot and will be removed once the server advertises its
metadata. --login-hint <email> is sent with the device authorization request
to steer the approval page's sign-in (Launchpad ignores it). Release notes are
GitHub-native and carry only the PR title, so this paragraph has to be added by hand.

A bot's Basecamp identity should never come from a browser sign-in on a shared machine: whoever's session the browser holds is who the profile quietly becomes, and nothing checks. Basecamp now mints personal access tokens (bc_at_…, revocable, full/read scope), so the CLI can take one from a secret store and refuse to keep it unless it authenticates as the expected identity. This is the CLI half of the Clawdito setup work in basecamp/coworker; the operator-facing flow is

op read "op://coworker-agent-clawdito/37s Basecamp PAT - Clawdito/credential" \
  | basecamp auth login --with-token -P clawdito --account 2914079 --expect-identity 28142355

What

--with-token (internal/commands/auth.go)

  • Reads the token from stdin, trimmed; a terminal stdin is refused with the op read "op://…" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id> shape. Empty, multi-line, whitespace-bearing, control-character-bearing, or >4 KiB input is rejected without echoing it. The token is never written to output or errors.
  • Requires a named profile (-P/--profile or BASECAMP_PROFILE; a single/default profile resolves too). When the profile does not exist, --account <id> is required and the profile is created with the current base URL. An existing profile keeps its entry untouched; passing an --account that differs from the profile's binding is a usage error rather than a silent rebind.
  • Verifies before it persists. The candidate token gets a client of its own (App.SDKClientFor(StaticTokenProvider) — same transport, hooks and user agent as the real client) and must pass three checks before anything is written: the authorization document answers for it (identity id, email, reported scope — anything but read/full is refused); the effective account (--account / BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID override the profile binding at runtime, so that is what is compared; a new profile must get its account explicitly, not from the operator's config file; digits only) appears non-expired in that document; and the account-scoped person lookup ForAccount(acct).People().Me succeeds. Only then auth.Manager.ImportToken stores {AccessToken, OAuthType: bc5, Scope, UserID, UserEmail} in one write and the profile is registered. A rejected token touches neither the store nor config.json, and a profile's previous credential is never read or written. The server-reported expiry is stored with it (ExpiresAt 0 when none is reported, the path AccessToken never refreshes); near a reported expiry the token is refused with "No refresh token available" and must be imported again.
  • Production serves /my/profile.json only under an account prefix (verified live: unscoped → 404, /2914079/my/profile.json → 200), which is why the person lookup is account-scoped. The pre-existing "Logged in as" step in login/profile create used the unscoped path and had been failing silently.
  • BASECAMP_TOKEN in the environment is refused up front for --with-token and --expect-identity, since every request would otherwise carry it instead of the credential being checked.
  • Profile registration is factored out of profile create into registerProfile/unregisterProfile (profile.go), used by create, delete, and the import. The root pre-run gains an AnnotationProfileMayCreate carve-out so -P <new-name> reaches the command instead of failing with "unknown profile"; an unregistered name is not used as a cache-path component.

--expect-identity <id> — the same verifier runs inside the browser and device flows through a new auth.LoginOptions.Verify hook, called with the freshly issued token before store.Save. A mismatch stores nothing, prints no success line, and exits 3 (auth); a pre-existing credential is untouched. Without an expectation the "Logged in as" line stays best-effort. Output: Logged in as Clawdito <clawdito@…> (identity 28142355, person 51177542) (server-supplied name/email reduced to one line for the terminal; JSON verbatim).

--json — envelope for the import: profile, account_id, base_url, source: "token", oauth_type: "bc5", scope, expires_at: null, identity: {id, email}, person: {id, name, email}, profile_created, default. Interactive flows under --json/--agent/--quiet/--ids-only/--count now refuse before any network call (the machine-mode half of #669; BASECAMP_NONINTERACTIVE is deliberately not gated — a device login prints instructions and waits on a browser, not on stdin, which is a valid headless shape).

BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER (internal/auth/auth.go) — when set, discoverOAuth skips discovery and builds oauth.Config{TokenEndpoint: issuer+"/oauth/tokens", DeviceAuthorizationEndpoint: issuer+"/oauth/device_authorizations"} (the paths bc3 mounts). The value passes the same isSecureEndpointURL checks as a discovered endpoint plus a no-query/no-fragment rule, is never echoed, and never falls back to Launchpad. Documented in the README as the dark-pilot escape hatch to remove after go-live.

--login-hint <email> — threaded through LoginOptions.LoginHint and sent by the device flow as Basecamp's login_hint extension via oauth.WithDeviceLoginHint (basecamp/basecamp-sdk#841, merged as 47e7ca38). The option is appended only when a hint was given, so an unqualified login's form is unchanged; Launchpad logs that it ignores the flag. The SDK is bumped with make bump-sdk REF=main (v0.15.0 → v0.16.1-0.20260903193203-47e7ca381a49, provenance updated, catalog parity tests green); the bump also carries the SDK's own 0.16.0 additions (to-do list template library, recent projects, spotlight), for which the CLI commands and API-COVERAGE rows are a separate SDK-sync task, not this PR.

Usage

op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999
op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999 --expect-identity 12345 --json
basecamp auth login --expect-identity 12345
basecamp auth login --device-code --login-hint bot@example.com
BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://app.basecamp.com basecamp auth login --device-code -P scratch

Verification

  • go build ./..., go vet ./... — clean.
  • go test ./internal/auth ./internal/commands ./internal/cli ./internal/stdinarg — green. New coverage: token import happy path through a real httptest identity server (trailing newline trimmed before the Authorization header; stored ExpiresAt 0; AccessToken serves it with no refresh); --json envelope shape; --expect-identity mismatch deletes the credential and registers no profile; mismatch on a pre-existing profile restores its previous credential byte-for-byte; unverifiable identity fails closed only with an expectation; a server-rejected token is not kept; server-reported scope wins; missing --account, missing profile, account mismatch, existing profile's entry (project_id, default_profile) untouched; bad stdin matrix (empty, whitespace, two lines, inner space, control char, oversized) with no echo; terminal stdin refusal (PTY); BASECAMP_TOKEN refusal; non-numeric identity; flag exclusivity; machine-mode refusal matrix; unknown profile without --with-token. internal/auth: pinned issuer skips discovery (0 hits on the resource server) and stores the trimmed /oauth/tokens endpoint; rejected issuer matrix (plain http, userinfo, no host, bad port, file scheme, query, fragment) never echoes and never falls back; login hint sent on the device flow (since round 9) and ignored on Launchpad; ImportToken round trip and refresh behavior. internal/cli: may-create pass-through for --profile and BASECAMP_PROFILE, refusal otherwise. internal/stdinarg: IsTerminal over buffer, pipe, /dev/null, PTY.
  • make fmt-check vet check-surface check-skill-drift check-bare-groups tidy-check — green; .surface regenerated with the six new flag entries (auth login and the login shortcut).
  • make test-e2e — green, including four new auth.bats cases (help text, profile required, --account required, --with-token excludes --device-code).
  • bin/ci green on Linux/x86 (thelio, Go 1.26.7) at a2defe8: fmt, vet, lint (0 issues), unit tests, 446 e2e, naming, surface, skill drift, bare groups, lint lockstep, smoke coverage, provenance, tidy. The PTY-class tests (TestIsTerminal, TestAuthLoginWithTokenRefusesTerminalStdin, TestInteractiveStdio, TestIsInteractiveTTY…, …) pass there; on this Mac's sandbox they fail identically on main because /dev/ptmx is not a terminal, and its golangci-lint predates the Go 1.27 export-data format, so Linux is the reference run.
  • Review round (14c33b8): verify-before-persist replaces the snapshot/restore; account verification (authorization document + account-scoped person lookup, env-override and non-numeric cases tested); --scope/--expect-identity validated before stdin is consumed (a test asserts stdin is left unread); device-flow --expect-identity mismatch stores nothing and prints no success line (end-to-end through a pinned issuer serving the grant); sanitization tests for the login hint, the pinned issuer (U+0085) and a server-supplied name (OSC hyperlink + CRLF); unregistered profile name kept out of the cache path (--profile ../../outside); e2e cases assert exact .error/.code under env -u BASECAMP_PROFILE; doctor skill carries the token-import and --expect-identity remediation.
  • Review round 3 (a2e8a69): an existing profile's base URL must match the effective one and an unbound profile is bound to the explicitly given account (entry otherwise preserved); account comparisons numeric; profile entry written before the credential (no orphaned secret); strict mode refuses a document with no identity id; non-strict logins keep the authorization identity when the account/person lookup fails and never write user_id 0; stdin accepts exactly one trailing LF/CRLF.
  • Review round 4 (a2defe8): the server-reported expiry is stored and reported (null when absent; near expiry the token is refused with the existing no-refresh-token error); Args: cobra.NoArgs; binding an accountless profile defined outside the global config is refused before stdin.
  • Review round 6 (709798b): global config writers refuse a malformed file instead of rewriting a partial decode; the near-expiry refusal is import-only (an asserted OAuth login keeps its refresh token); imported credentials carry source: "token", reported by auth status and profile show.
  • Review round 7 (283c4f9): BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER accepts an origin only; global config writers refuse a non-object profiles value and create the config directory first; README names app.basecamp.com.
  • Review round 8 (45bc77b): profile create proves the global config can take an entry before running OAuth (no credential left without a profile on a malformed file); README stops calling an imported token non-expiring.
  • Review round 9 (313c5b0): SDK bumped to main and --login-hint sent on the wire (TestLoginDevice_LoginHintIsSent asserts the form carries login_hint, and omits it when no hint is given). No review fixes this round: six threads left open on purpose — three server-reflected-bearer findings declined on merit, two config-file-hardening and one OAuth-binding finding flagged for Jeremy as the third-plus variation of settled classes.
  • Review round 10 (73da0c7; first pushed as d33707a): origin/main merged (78e1a65; go.mod keeps the SDK pin, main's goldmark bump preserved, go mod tidy) and main's new TestCatalogModelProvenance satisfied by recording the pinned revision in the MCP model provenance (model files byte-identical to v0.16.0). Fixes: a bare trailing CR on stdin is refused (e26b374); a top-level null config is refused instead of panicking, the import preflights the config file before reading stdin, and profile delete preflights it before the credential goes (362cc81); the profile-binding check is one helper run by every login that names an existing profile, OAuth flows included (50b4fe8); profile create --expect-identity runs the same verifier, and the account-scoped person lookup replaces the unscoped /my/profile.json fetch (d33707a). The SDK-sync thread is overtaken by main's own v0.16.0 sync. Still open on purpose: the three server-reflected-bearer threads, declined on merit as before.
  • Round 10 follow-ups (35bda3673da0c7): unparam on the config preflight (da5db35); grpc v1.83.2 for CVE-2026-84445, an indirect dep main shares whose advisory started failing the Trivy scan (35bda36); a bare ?/# on BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER is refused on the raw value — url.Parse reports an empty fragment as absent while the concatenated endpoints carried it (a81be7c); the import's terminal line says "no expiry reported" (071a546); the preflight is renamed globalConfigTakesProfiles for what it checks (fffcde5); Nix vendorHash recomputed and verified via make update-nix-hash (73da0c7). Declined: a permission probe / two-store rollback for the config preflight (two Copilot threads, left open with reasoning) — sixth variation of the config-file series. Copilot resolved the three server-reflected-bearer threads itself on re-review. bin/ci green on thelio at 73da0c7; GitHub CI green.
  • SDK pin: no basecamp-sdk tag after v0.16.0 includes #841 (gh release list shows v0.16.0 as latest), so the pseudo-version v0.16.1-0.20260903193203-47e7ca381a49 stays. Tagging sdk v0.16.1 and running make bump-sdk REF=v0.16.1 + scripts/sync-mcp-model.sh would restore the tagged shape in both provenance files.
  • Not run live: the production import (op-coworker read clawdito … | basecamp auth login --with-token -P clawdito --account 2914079 --expect-identity 28142355) and BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://app.basecamp.com basecamp auth login --device-code wait on the bc3 pilot deploy (work package A/B).

Summary by cubic

Adds basecamp auth login --with-token to import a personal access token from piped stdin and verify it for the requested account and identity. Unlike browser login, which could silently use the browser’s current identity, --expect-identity now protects OAuth and profile create too, leaving existing credentials untouched on failure.

Authentication

  • New profiles require a named profile and explicit --account; existing profiles reject account or base-URL mismatches.
  • Token input must be a single non-terminal value, is never echoed, and cannot come from an argument or BASECAMP_TOKEN.
  • Verification checks the token’s identity, account, scope, person, and expiry before storing it.
  • Imported credentials record source: "token" plus the server-reported scope and expiry; auth status, profile show, and --json expose them.
  • Tokens without refresh support are refused near expiry and must be imported again.
  • Interactive logins reject machine-output flags before network calls, while --login-hint is sent with device authorization.
  • BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER now accepts only a valid origin without a path, query, or fragment.

Configuration and dependencies

  • Profile registration and global config writers validate malformed or non-object config, create missing directories, and preflight writes before authentication changes state.
  • OAuth and token logins share profile-binding checks, and account-scoped person lookup replaces the failing unscoped lookup.
  • Updates github.com/basecamp/basecamp-sdk/go for device login hints and google.golang.org/grpc to v1.83.2 for CVE-2026-84445.

Written for commit 73da0c7. Summary will update on new commits.

A bot's Basecamp identity should never come from a browser sign-in on a
shared machine: whoever's session the browser holds is who the profile
quietly becomes, and nothing checks. Basecamp now mints personal access
tokens, so the CLI can take one from a secret store and refuse to keep it
unless it authenticates as the expected identity.

`basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id>` reads the
token from stdin (a terminal is refused, with the `op read … |` shape
shown), stores it under the profile as a non-expiring bc5 credential —
ExpiresAt 0 is the path AccessToken already never refreshes — and creates
the profile when --account names its account. The profile entry is written
only after /my/profile.json and the authorization endpoint have answered
for the token; a rejected token leaves the profile exactly as it was found,
previous credential included. Profile registration is factored out of
`profile create` so both paths write the same entry, and the root pre-run
lets a may-create command name a profile that does not exist yet.

`--expect-identity <id>` makes every login assertive — browser and device
flows included — discarding the new credential on a mismatch. `--json`
returns the envelope (profile, account, identity, person, oauth_type,
scope, expires_at null), and the interactive flows now refuse machine
output modes up front instead of printing prose and blocking (the
machine-mode half of #669).

`BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER` pins the BC5 authorization server and skips
discovery, so a device login reaches a server that is piloting the client
while its metadata is still dark. It is a temporary escape hatch and is
documented as one. `--login-hint <email>` is wired through LoginOptions;
the pinned SDK cannot put it on the wire yet (basecamp/basecamp-sdk#841
adds the option), so this build tells the user the hint instead of sending
it, and Launchpad ignores it.

  • This implies the approval page receives --login-hint, but the current implementation only prints the email locally and sends no hint to the server. Clarify that limitation so operators do not rely on the page being preselected.
`--expect-identity <id>` makes any login assert who it authenticated as: on a
mismatch the new credential is discarded (a profile's previous credential is
kept) and the command exits non-zero. `--login-hint <email>` suggests which
account to sign in as on the device-flow approval page.

  • The comment says the issuer is never echoed, but the success path logs the full validated value at line 873 (and the test requires that output). Either remove the value from the log to honor the promise or clarify that only rejected values are not echoed; the current security documentation is self-contradictory.

  • This assertion cannot pass for an existing profile: the server scope is written only to the credential by setStoredScope; existing.Scope is never mutated. Since the PR also promises that an existing profile entry stays untouched, assert that behavior here rather than expecting an in-memory rewrite.

  • /my/profile.json is account-scoped, but the raw SDK client does not add an account prefix (internal/appctx/context.go:121 explicitly requires app.Account() for such calls; internal/names/resolver_test.go:607 expects /{account}/my/profile.json). In production this requests the resource root and the strict token-import path rejects every valid token. Resolve and validate the effective account, then fetch the person through the account client; the tests should assert the account-prefixed path.

  • Every Load error is treated as “no previous credential.” A transient keyring/read error can therefore be followed by a successful overwrite, and a failed identity check then deletes the newly written value instead of restoring the previous credential, violating the rollback guarantee. Distinguish credential-not-found from other load errors and abort before login/import when the snapshot cannot be read.

  • Name and Email come from server responses and this label is written directly to terminal output, so embedded OSC/CSI or newlines can inject terminal content. Sanitize both fields with richtext.SanitizeSingleLine before composing the one-line label, consistent with internal/richtext/sanitize.go:35-48.

  • Login durably replaces the profile credential before --expect-identity is evaluated. If the process receives SIGINT/SIGTERM or crashes after OAuth completes but before verification/rollback, the possibly wrong browser identity remains stored—the exact shared-browser case this assertion is meant to prevent. Stage the new credential (for example via a temporary/in-memory token provider), verify it, and commit it only after the expectation passes.

			result, err := app.Auth.Login(cmd.Context(), auth.LoginOptions{

internal/commands/auth.go:417

  • The imported token is persisted before either identity request runs. A termination or crash during verification leaves an unverified token behind (and permanently overwrites an existing profile credential), despite the command's guarantee that nothing is kept until verification succeeds. Verify through a temporary token provider first, then save the credential as the final commit step.

  • All mismatch-and-rollback tests added here invoke --with-token; the new browser/device --expect-identity branch is untested. Add a command-level OAuth test that completes a device or browser login with a mismatching identity and verifies the previous credential is restored, since this is a core behavior advertised for every login flow.

Copilot AI review requested due to automatic review settings September 2, 2026 20:17

jeremy force-pushed the auth-login-with-token branch from 0f1a9be to b4d1259 Compare September 2, 2026 20:18
Review of the token import found the rollback doing the wrong job: the
credential was written under the live profile key, checked, and then
restored or deleted — a window where another command could pick up an
unverified token, a restore that could itself fail, and a success line
printed before the check. Turn it around: the candidate token gets a client
of its own (App.SDKClientFor, same transport, hooks and user agent as the
real one), proves itself, and only then is stored. LoginOptions.Verify runs
that check inside the device and Launchpad flows before their store.Save,
so --expect-identity on a browser login stores nothing on a mismatch; the
snapshot/restore code is gone.

The check now covers the account, not only the identity. Production
serves /my/profile.json only under an account prefix (the unscoped path
404s — the old "Logged in as" line had been failing silently), so the
person lookup goes through the account-scoped People().Me, and that
account must be numeric, must be the effective one (--account or
BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID override the profile binding at runtime, so the
mismatch guard compares against that), must appear non-expired in the
authorization document, and for a new profile must have been given
explicitly rather than inherited from the operator's config. A reported
scope outside read/full is refused rather than stored.

Smaller findings from the same round: --scope and --expect-identity are
validated before stdin is consumed; --expect-identity compares parsed
integers; the envelope reports the identity's own email and marks an
existing default profile as default; server-supplied names, the login
hint and the pinned issuer are reduced to one line before reaching the
terminal; an unregistered profile name is no longer used as a cache path
component; the e2e cases assert exact error and code with BASECAMP_PROFILE
cleared; README and the doctor skill describe the token import, the
identity assertion, and that --login-hint is announced, not sent.

internal/commands/auth.go:653

  • This account verification is unconditional even when strict is false. As a result, an ordinary login without --expect-identity now aborts before storing its credential whenever the authorization document omits the configured account or the subsequent person lookup fails, contradicting the intended best-effort identity lookup and regressing previously successful logins. Only return these verification errors in strict mode; otherwise retain the authorization identity and continue.
	if v.account != "" {
		if !authorizesAccount(info, v.account) {
			return output.ErrAuth(fmt.Sprintf("%s cannot access account %s (authorized: %s); nothing was stored", who.label(), v.account, authorizedAccountIDs(info)))

internal/commands/auth.go:348

  • When no account is configured, verification can populate who from /authorization.json but leaves PersonID at zero. This then overwrites the newly stored OAuth credential's user_id with the literal "0", which auth status and profile show expose as if it were a real person ID. Preserve the previous best-effort behavior by writing identity metadata only after an account-scoped person was resolved.
				_ = app.Auth.SetUserIdentity(strconv.FormatInt(who.PersonID, 10), who.Email)

internal/commands/auth.go:674

  • This textual comparison also rejects a valid non-canonical account spelling such as --account 0999, because the authorization document's numeric ID is formatted as 999. Compare numerically with accountIDsEqual; otherwise token import can fail even though the token authorizes the requested account.

…ffort

The import verifies a token for one account and base URL and stores it
under a profile; those must be the same place. An existing profile's base
URL must match the effective one (a BASECAMP_BASE_URL override would
verify against one host and store for another), an unbound profile is
bound to the explicitly given account alongside the token (other fields
preserved), and account comparisons are numeric like the rest of the
package. The profile entry is written before the credential, so a failure
between the two leaves a visibly unauthenticated profile rather than an
orphaned secret. Strict verification refuses an authorization document
with no identity id.

An ordinary browser or device login without --expect-identity is not the
assertive kind: an account the token cannot reach, or a person lookup
that fails, no longer discards the login — the identity line falls back
to the authorization document and no person id is fabricated (nothing is
written as user_id 0 either).

Stdin accepts exactly one trailing line ending, the shape a pipe delivers,
rather than trimming whatever whitespace surrounds the secret.

Token arguments must be rejected, and authorization-document expiry must be handled correctly.

main now checks that the vendored MCP model was synced from the same
basecamp-sdk revision go.mod pins. This branch pins the post-v0.16.0
commit that carries the device-flow login hint, so the provenance moves
to that commit. scripts/sync-mcp-model.sh against that checkout leaves
behavior-model.json and openapi.json byte-identical to the v0.16.0
snapshot, and would describe the ref as go/v0.16.0-1-g47e7ca38; the ref
is written as the go.mod pseudo-version instead, which is what the
provenance test compares. A v0.16.1 tag would restore the tagged shape.
A token ending in a bare carriage return was accepted: the LF and CR
suffixes were trimmed independently, so "token\r" lost its CR and passed
the control-character check the contract says it must fail. The CR now
goes only when it precedes the final LF; on its own it is left for the
single-line check to refuse.
…irreversible

The global config writers refuse a malformed file rather than rewrite
it, but a top-level null decoded into a nil map and the next assignment
panicked instead. It is refused like any other non-object value.

Two callers ran the refusal after a step that cannot be taken back: the
token import read stdin and verified the token against the server before
registering or binding the profile discovered the file was unusable, and
profile delete removed the credential first. Both now prove the file can
take the write up front, as profile create already did.
…Auth included

The token import refused an --account / BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID /
BASECAMP_BASE_URL override that disagreed with the named profile's
binding, since the credential would be verified for the override and
stored under a key that keeps the binding. The browser and device flows
had no such check: an asserted login under an override verified against
the override and then replaced the profile's working credential with one
proven for somewhere else. The check is one helper now, run by every
login that names an existing profile before any request is made.
--expect-identity ran only on auth login, which refuses a profile that
does not exist yet; the browser or device login that creates one had no
way to refuse a wrong session. profile create takes the same flag and
runs the same verifier before the credential is stored: a mismatch
leaves no credential and no profile entry.

The verifier's account-scoped person lookup replaces the unscoped
/my/profile.json fetch that ran after registration, which production
answers with a 404. SDKClientFor now addresses the effective base URL
rather than the one the startup client was built with, since a profile
being created sets its own in memory before its login runs; for every
existing caller the two are the same value.

internal/auth/keyring.go:28

  • The new token source is not consumed by checkAuthentication in internal/commands/doctor.go. Once an imported token ages into the five-minute refresh window, doctor currently says “Token will auto-refresh on next API call,” even though these credentials intentionally have no refresh material and AccessToken will fail; after expiry it also attempts Refresh. Branch on Source == CredentialSourceToken and direct the operator to import a fresh token instead.

internal/commands/auth.go:504

  • A missing expires_at only means the server did not report an expiry; it does not establish that the personal access token never expires. The README and JSON contract correctly describe this as null, so the terminal summary should avoid the stronger and potentially misleading “does not expire” claim.
	var expiresAt any
	tokenLine := "personal access token (does not expire)"

url.Parse reports "https://as.example#" with an empty fragment, so the
origin check passed it, and the endpoints derived by concatenation
carried the delimiter: the token endpoint became https://as.example#/oauth/tokens,
posting to / with the path as a fragment. The delimiters are now refused
on the raw value.
globalConfigTakesProfiles reads and validates the file's shape; it does
not probe permissions, and the old name claimed more than that.
Computed and verified with make update-nix-hash (Docker build succeeds
with the new hash).

  • profileKnown can become true when resolveProfile returns its no-selection sentinel ("") and the loaded config contains an empty-string profile key. That newly applies the invalid profile and scopes the cache, whereas the previous profileName != "" guard ignored it. Keep the non-empty check in the derived boolean so an empty result always means top-level configuration.
    internal/commands/auth.go:376
  • This help text says callers must pass --profile, but the implementation also accepts BASECAMP_PROFILE, a configured default profile, or the sole configured profile. Describe the requirement as a named profile rather than requiring this specific flag.
