Error polling OAuth status: {err}

Error message

Error polling OAuth status: {err}

What it means

Terminal error from the OAuth polling branch: the poll future itself returned Err (network/protocol failure while repeatedly querying the OAuth transaction status via the integrations client). The underlying error is formatted into the message ('Error polling OAuth status: {err}'). The user may have already completed authorization — but the client could not confirm it.

Solutions

1. Check connectivity and simply re-run the command — if authorization actually completed, the next run's auth check passes and no new OAuth is needed
2. Avoid suspending the machine or dropping network between opening the auth URL and completion
3. Pre-grant the GitHub App access so the poll phase is skipped entirely
4. If it recurs, inspect logs for the underlying transport error and server health

// Keep the link stable during authorization: verify connectivity right before
// create with private repos, and avoid machine sleep between URL open and consent.

Err(err) => {
    // poll transport error: authorization may have succeeded anyway — re-run the
    // command; the fresh auth check will confirm without restarting OAuth
}

When it happens

Trigger: Network drop, timeout, or server 5xx occurring between polls of the OAuth connect transaction while the browser flow is in progress; auth token expiring mid-poll; server restart during the transaction.

Common situations: Wi-Fi flaps during authorization; laptop sleep/resume mid-poll; server deploys while the transaction is open; long authorization conversations on unstable links.
