Hub registration failed with status {status}

Error message

Hub registration failed with status {status}

What it means

Final fallback in the auth-module register: registration on the Hub failed with a non-success status whose body did not decode as a HubErrorResponse, so only the HTTP status is reported. The username may already be taken, but here the server gave an unparseable or unexpected response.

Solutions

1. Retry registration; if the username is taken, choose another
2. Check the interpolated {status}: 5xx indicates a server-side issue
3. Confirm connectivity and that no proxy is intercepting the request
