No companies are accessible with this board credential.

Error message

No companies are accessible with this board credential.

What it means

chooseCompany got an empty companies array with optional=false, meaning the board credential cannot see any company (or none exist), so company selection is impossible.

Solutions

1. Verify the board credential is valid and has access to at least one company; create a company first if none exists.
