Error polling OAuth status: {err}

Error message

Error polling OAuth status: {err}

What it means

The spawned poll future for the OAuth connect transaction returned Err (app/src/ai/agent_sdk/agent_config.rs:183 Err arm); the message interpolates the error with inline {err} via anyhow. This is a transport/API-level failure of the polling itself, distinct from any transaction status.

Solutions

1. Check connectivity and re-run the command
2. Retry once — transient polling failures commonly clear
3. If persistent, read the embedded {err} text to see which request failed and check service status

When it happens

Trigger: Network drop while polling the OAuth connect tx status; the GraphQL endpoint returning an error payload or 5xx while the browser flow is still pending.

Common situations: Flaky connectivity mid-auth; brief server-side errors during deploys; proxies killing long-polling requests.
