Failed to start OAuth flow

Error message

Failed to start OAuth flow

What it means

Raised by approve_transfer when the caller's active org matches neither the transfer's sourceOrganizationId nor its targetOrganizationId. Only the two participating orgs may approve; every other org is rejected with a ValueError.

Solutions

1. Verify the active org matches one of the transfer's parties (source/target) before calling approve; prompt the user to switch org if they belong to one of them.
2. Ensure the frontend passes the currently selected org consistently on every transfers call.
3. Surface which orgs are parties in the error detail so the user knows which org to switch to.

Example fix

# before
await approve_transfer(tid, user_id, active_org_id)

# after
tr = await get_transfer(tid)
if active_org_id not in (tr.source_org_id, tr.target_org_id):
    raise PermissionError("Switch to a participating org to approve")
await approve_transfer(tid, user_id, active_org_id)

tr = await get_transfer(transfer_id)
assert org_id in (tr.source_org_id, tr.target_org_id), "Switch to a participating org"

def org_is_party(tr: TransferResponse, org_id: str) -> bool:
    return org_id in (tr.source_org_id, tr.target_org_id)

try:
    await approve_transfer(tid, user_id, org_id)
except ValueError as e:
    if "not a party" in str(e):
        prompt_org_switch(tr)
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at autogpt_platform/frontend/src/app/(no-navbar)/login/useLoginPage.ts:70 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Multi-org users forgetting to switch active org in the UI; frontend sending a stale active-org ID after the user switched orgs; copying a transfer URL and approving from an unrelated account.
