get label: %w

Error message

get label: %w

What it means

Wraps a failed GET /api/labels/{labelID} in `multica label get`, executed after the reference was already resolved. This is a straight fetch-by-ID, so a failure here means the resolved ID is no longer valid on the server, or the request failed on transport/auth grounds.

Solutions

1. Re-run `multica label list` to confirm the label still exists
2. Re-authenticate if the wrapped error indicates 401
3. Retry once for transient failures; use fresh references in long-running scripts instead of cached IDs

if err := client.GetJSON(ctx, "/api/labels/"+id, &label); err != nil {
	if isNotFound(err) { /* label vanished: re-list and warn */ }
	if isTransient(err) { retry once }
	return fmt.Errorf("get label: %w", err)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Label deleted between resolution and fetch (race); 401/403 from an expired token or missing permissions; server 5xx; network drop mid-request.

Common situations: Concurrent sessions deleting labels; long-lived scripts with stale resolved IDs; token expiry mid-run.
