Token verify failed (${response.status})

Error message

Token verify failed (${response.status})

What it means

The /auth/verify endpoint returned a non-OK HTTP status, so the stored Screenity token could not be confirmed. Thrown in loginWithWebsite when response.ok is false after calling the verify API with the Bearer token; 401/403 also set isTokenInvalid to trigger re-authentication.

Solutions

1. On 401/403 treat the token as expired/revoked and force the user through re-authentication
2. Clear lastAuthCheck and retry once to rule out a stale cache marker
3. Log the response body for 5xx and surface a transient-network error with retry
4. Verify API_BASE and endpoint reachability from the extension context
