unsupported plugin store auth type %q

Error message

unsupported plugin store auth type %q

What it means

The env-based plugin store auth switch hit a default case: item.Type is not one of "", none, bearer, basic, header, github-token. The message embeds the offending value verbatim, so typos are easy to spot.

Solutions

1. Set auth.type to one of: none, bearer, basic, header, github-token (or omit it for none)
2. After upgrading, re-check the store config against the current config.example.yaml for renamed types

Example fix

# before
auth:
  type: token
  token-env: GITHUB_TOKEN

# after
auth:
  type: github-token
  token-env: GITHUB_TOKEN

var validAuthTypes = map[string]bool{"": true, "none": true, "bearer": true, "basic": true, "header": true, "github-token": true}

func validAuthType(t string) bool {
    return validAuthTypes[strings.ToLower(strings.TrimSpace(t))]
}

When it happens

Trigger: auth.type set to a misspelled or renamed value (e.g. "token", "githubtoken", "ApiKey", trailing whitespace is trimmed but casing of unknown words is not corrected).

Common situations: Copy-pasted config from other tools using different auth type names; store schema changes between versions introducing a type the running binary does not know.
