GitHub authorization failed. Please try again.

Error message

GitHub authorization failed. Please try again.

What it means

After printing a GitHub auth URL, the runner polls the OAuth connect transaction; OauthConnectTxStatus::Failed (app/src/ai/agent_sdk/agent_config.rs:159) means the transaction transitioned to an explicit failure, and the app force-terminates with this message. Note this path does not retry — only Completed continues the loop.

Solutions

1. Re-run the command and click Approve on the consent screen, accepting the requested permissions
2. Confirm the GitHub account has access to the target organization/repositories
3. If it keeps failing, disconnect and reconnect the GitHub integration from settings

When it happens

Trigger: The user denies or cancels the GitHub OAuth consent, or the connect transaction transitions to Failed server-side (deleted transaction, grant error).

Common situations: Clicking 'Deny' or closing the consent page mid-flow; GitHub org policy rejecting the app; the transaction invalidated by a second concurrent auth attempt.
