GitLab API error

Error message

GitLab API error: ${response.statusText}

What it means

API error in the GitLab provider's fetchRepositories: the paginated /projects request returned a non-OK status while listing the user's repositories. The HTTP status text is interpolated; typically an expired/revoked token or API failure.

Solutions

1. Re-authenticate the GitLab credential if the token expired
2. Check GitLab rate limits (429) and retry after the reset period
