Error message

get project: %w

What it means

Wrap in runProjectGet (cmd_project.go:276): resolution succeeded but the follow-up GET /api/projects/{resolvedID} failed. Distinct from 577: the ID was known-good enough to resolve, yet the direct fetch errored — typically the project vanished between resolution and fetch, permissions differ between endpoints, or a transient server error.

Solutions

1. Re-list projects to confirm the ID still exists: `multica project list --full-id`.
2. Retry once — transient 5xx/network failures resolve themselves.
3. If 403, check the token's workspace scope or re-login with an account that has read access.

Example fix

# before
multica project get 3f2a91c4...   # get project: 404 (deleted moments ago)

# after
multica project list --full-id      # confirm it is gone, pick an existing ID
multica project get <existing-id>

if err := getCmd.Run(); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "get project") {
        if isTransient(err) { time.Sleep(time.Second); return getCmd.Run() }
        if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "404") { /* project gone: refresh list */ }
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: Project deleted between the two calls (race); 403 because the token can search but not read that project; server 5xx; connection dropped mid-session.

Common situations: Concurrent CLI/web use where someone deletes or archives the project; token scoped narrowly; flaky network to a remote server.
