Error message

t("providers.removal_unsupported")

What it means

removeProviderAuthCredentials tries three strategies to delete stored provider credentials from the connected opencode server: authClient.remove(), a raw DELETE /auth/:providerId, and finally authClient.set(providerID, auth: null). If the client object exposes none of these capabilities, the store concludes the connected server/client SDK version cannot remove credentials and throws this error. It is an API-surface/version-capability guard, not a server failure.

Solutions

1. Upgrade the opencode server and client SDK so c.auth.remove or c.auth.set exists.
2. Verify options.client() returns the real SDK client, not a partial/stub object missing auth methods.
3. If removal is genuinely unsupported, clear the credential server-side manually (e.g. delete the auth entry from opencode's auth storage) and refresh the store.
4. In tests, use createTestStore with a client mock that implements auth.remove or auth.set.

Example fix

// before: stub client without auth methods
const client = { auth: {} };
// after: implement the removal surface
const client = { auth: { remove: async ({ providerID }) => ({ ok: true }) } };

const authClient = client.auth as { remove?: unknown; set?: unknown };
const canRemove = typeof authClient?.remove === "function" || typeof authClient?.set === "function";
if (!canRemove) {
  showToast("This server version cannot remove stored credentials; upgrade opencode.");
}

function supportsCredentialRemoval(client: unknown): client is { auth: { set: (o: { providerID: string; auth: unknown }) => Promise<unknown> } } {
  const c = client as { auth?: { set?: unknown } };
  return typeof c?.auth?.set === "function";
}

try {
  await store.removeProviderCredentials(providerId);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message.includes("removal")) {
    showToast("Credential removal not supported by this server; clear it manually in opencode auth storage.");
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling removeProviderAuthCredentials (via the store's provider-credential removal action) when options.client() returns a client whose auth object has no `remove` function, whose client has no `delete` method, and whose auth object has no `set` function.

Common situations: Connecting to an old opencode server or a mock/test client that predates the auth remove/set API; a stale pinned SDK client version; a custom client adapter that implements auth login but not logout; pointing the app at an incompatible/self-hosted server build.
