error marshalling auth: %v

Error message

error marshalling auth: %v

What it means

Fires in writeCurrentAuth when json.Marshal fails on the Current auth session struct before writing fs.HomeAuthPath. Unexpected since the auth struct is plain data; usually means a bad custom marshaller or corrupted in-memory session.
