⚠️ Release note — paste into the release description at release prep

basecamp auth login --with-token imports a personal access token. Pipe a
token from a secret store — never as an argument — and it is stored under a
named profile with whatever expiry the server reports, creating the profile when
--account names its account:
op read "op://Vault/Item/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999.
The token is verified against the server before anything is kept.

Every login can now assert who it signed in as. --expect-identity <id>
discards the new credential (restoring a profile's previous one) and exits
non-zero when the server reports a different identity — browser, device, and
token imports alike. --json on a token import returns the envelope with the
profile, account, identity, person, oauth_type, scope, and expires_at (the server-reported expiry, or null).

Interactive logins refuse machine output modes. basecamp auth login --json
(or --agent, --quiet, …) used to print prose and block for minutes on
approval; it now exits immediately with a usage error pointing at
auth status and --with-token. A configured format: json is unaffected.

BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER pins the OAuth authorization server for the
production dark pilot and will be removed once the server advertises its
metadata. --login-hint <email> is accepted; this release tells the user the
hint rather than sending it, pending an SDK bump (see below). Release notes are
GitHub-native and carry only the PR title, so this paragraph has to be added by hand.

A bot's Basecamp identity should never come from a browser sign-in on a shared machine: whoever's session the browser holds is who the profile quietly becomes, and nothing checks. Basecamp now mints personal access tokens (bc_at_…, revocable, full/read scope), so the CLI can take one from a secret store and refuse to keep it unless it authenticates as the expected identity. This is the CLI half of the Clawdito setup work in basecamp/coworker; the operator-facing flow is

op read "op://coworker-agent-clawdito/37s Basecamp PAT - Clawdito/credential" \
  | basecamp auth login --with-token -P clawdito --account 2914079 --expect-identity 28142355

What

--with-token (internal/commands/auth.go)

  • Reads the token from stdin, trimmed; a terminal stdin is refused with the op read "op://…" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id> shape. Empty, multi-line, whitespace-bearing, control-character-bearing, or >4 KiB input is rejected without echoing it. The token is never written to output or errors.
  • Requires a named profile (-P/--profile or BASECAMP_PROFILE; a single/default profile resolves too). When the profile does not exist, --account <id> is required and the profile is created with the current base URL. An existing profile keeps its entry untouched; passing an --account that differs from the profile's binding is a usage error rather than a silent rebind.
  • Verifies before it persists. The candidate token gets a client of its own (App.SDKClientFor(StaticTokenProvider) — same transport, hooks and user agent as the real client) and must pass three checks before anything is written: the authorization document answers for it (identity id, email, reported scope — anything but read/full is refused); the effective account (--account / BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID override the profile binding at runtime, so that is what is compared; a new profile must get its account explicitly, not from the operator's config file; digits only) appears non-expired in that document; and the account-scoped person lookup ForAccount(acct).People().Me succeeds. Only then auth.Manager.ImportToken stores {AccessToken, OAuthType: bc5, Scope, UserID, UserEmail} in one write and the profile is registered. A rejected token touches neither the store nor config.json, and a profile's previous credential is never read or written. The server-reported expiry is stored with it (ExpiresAt 0 when none is reported, the path AccessToken never refreshes); near a reported expiry the token is refused with "No refresh token available" and must be imported again.
  • Production serves /my/profile.json only under an account prefix (verified live: unscoped → 404, /2914079/my/profile.json → 200), which is why the person lookup is account-scoped. The pre-existing "Logged in as" step in login/profile create used the unscoped path and had been failing silently.
  • BASECAMP_TOKEN in the environment is refused up front for --with-token and --expect-identity, since every request would otherwise carry it instead of the credential being checked.
  • Profile registration is factored out of profile create into registerProfile/unregisterProfile (profile.go), used by create, delete, and the import. The root pre-run gains an AnnotationProfileMayCreate carve-out so -P <new-name> reaches the command instead of failing with "unknown profile"; an unregistered name is not used as a cache-path component.

--expect-identity <id> — the same verifier runs inside the browser and device flows through a new auth.LoginOptions.Verify hook, called with the freshly issued token before store.Save. A mismatch stores nothing, prints no success line, and exits 3 (auth); a pre-existing credential is untouched. Without an expectation the "Logged in as" line stays best-effort. Output: Logged in as Clawdito <clawdito@…> (identity 28142355, person 51177542) (server-supplied name/email reduced to one line for the terminal; JSON verbatim).

--json — envelope for the import: profile, account_id, base_url, source: "token", oauth_type: "bc5", scope, expires_at: null, identity: {id, email}, person: {id, name, email}, profile_created, default. Interactive flows under --json/--agent/--quiet/--ids-only/--count now refuse before any network call (the machine-mode half of #669; BASECAMP_NONINTERACTIVE is deliberately not gated — a device login prints instructions and waits on a browser, not on stdin, which is a valid headless shape).

BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER (internal/auth/auth.go) — when set, discoverOAuth skips discovery and builds oauth.Config{TokenEndpoint: issuer+"/oauth/tokens", DeviceAuthorizationEndpoint: issuer+"/oauth/device_authorizations"} (the paths bc3 mounts). The value passes the same isSecureEndpointURL checks as a discovered endpoint plus a no-query/no-fragment rule, is never echoed, and never falls back to Launchpad. Documented in the README as the dark-pilot escape hatch to remove after go-live.

--login-hint <email> — threaded through LoginOptions.LoginHint into the device flow. The pinned SDK (v0.15.0) has no way to put login_hint on the wire; basecamp/basecamp-sdk#841 adds oauth.WithDeviceLoginHint. Until the bump, deviceLoginHintOptions tells the user which account to sign in as and sends nothing; Launchpad logs that the hint is ignored. No replace directive: CONTRIBUTING prescribes go.work for local SDK work and make bump-sdk (which accepts REF=main, so the bump can follow the SDK merge without waiting for a tag).

Usage

op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999
op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P bot --account 999 --expect-identity 12345 --json
basecamp auth login --expect-identity 12345
basecamp auth login --device-code --login-hint bot@example.com
BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://app.basecamp.com basecamp auth login --device-code -P scratch

Verification

  • go build ./..., go vet ./... — clean.
  • go test ./internal/auth ./internal/commands ./internal/cli ./internal/stdinarg — green. New coverage: token import happy path through a real httptest identity server (trailing newline trimmed before the Authorization header; stored ExpiresAt 0; AccessToken serves it with no refresh); --json envelope shape; --expect-identity mismatch deletes the credential and registers no profile; mismatch on a pre-existing profile restores its previous credential byte-for-byte; unverifiable identity fails closed only with an expectation; a server-rejected token is not kept; server-reported scope wins; missing --account, missing profile, account mismatch, existing profile's entry (project_id, default_profile) untouched; bad stdin matrix (empty, whitespace, two lines, inner space, control char, oversized) with no echo; terminal stdin refusal (PTY); BASECAMP_TOKEN refusal; non-numeric identity; flag exclusivity; machine-mode refusal matrix; unknown profile without --with-token. internal/auth: pinned issuer skips discovery (0 hits on the resource server) and stores the trimmed /oauth/tokens endpoint; rejected issuer matrix (plain http, userinfo, no host, bad port, file scheme, query, fragment) never echoes and never falls back; login hint announced on the device flow and ignored on Launchpad; ImportToken round trip and refresh behavior. internal/cli: may-create pass-through for --profile and BASECAMP_PROFILE, refusal otherwise. internal/stdinarg: IsTerminal over buffer, pipe, /dev/null, PTY.
  • make fmt-check vet check-surface check-skill-drift check-bare-groups tidy-check — green; .surface regenerated with the six new flag entries (auth login and the login shortcut).
  • make test-e2e — green, including four new auth.bats cases (help text, profile required, --account required, --with-token excludes --device-code).
  • bin/ci green on Linux/x86 (thelio, Go 1.26.7) at a2defe8: fmt, vet, lint (0 issues), unit tests, 446 e2e, naming, surface, skill drift, bare groups, lint lockstep, smoke coverage, provenance, tidy. The PTY-class tests (TestIsTerminal, TestAuthLoginWithTokenRefusesTerminalStdin, TestInteractiveStdio, TestIsInteractiveTTY…, …) pass there; on this Mac's sandbox they fail identically on main because /dev/ptmx is not a terminal, and its golangci-lint predates the Go 1.27 export-data format, so Linux is the reference run.
  • Review round (14c33b8): verify-before-persist replaces the snapshot/restore; account verification (authorization document + account-scoped person lookup, env-override and non-numeric cases tested); --scope/--expect-identity validated before stdin is consumed (a test asserts stdin is left unread); device-flow --expect-identity mismatch stores nothing and prints no success line (end-to-end through a pinned issuer serving the grant); sanitization tests for the login hint, the pinned issuer (U+0085) and a server-supplied name (OSC hyperlink + CRLF); unregistered profile name kept out of the cache path (--profile ../../outside); e2e cases assert exact .error/.code under env -u BASECAMP_PROFILE; doctor skill carries the token-import and --expect-identity remediation.
  • Review round 3 (a2e8a69): an existing profile's base URL must match the effective one and an unbound profile is bound to the explicitly given account (entry otherwise preserved); account comparisons numeric; profile entry written before the credential (no orphaned secret); strict mode refuses a document with no identity id; non-strict logins keep the authorization identity when the account/person lookup fails and never write user_id 0; stdin accepts exactly one trailing LF/CRLF.
  • Review round 4 (a2defe8): the server-reported expiry is stored and reported (null when absent; near expiry the token is refused with the existing no-refresh-token error); Args: cobra.NoArgs; binding an accountless profile defined outside the global config is refused before stdin.
  • Review round 6 (709798b): global config writers refuse a malformed file instead of rewriting a partial decode; the near-expiry refusal is import-only (an asserted OAuth login keeps its refresh token); imported credentials carry source: "token", reported by auth status and profile show.
  • Review round 7 (283c4f9): BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER accepts an origin only; global config writers refuse a non-object profiles value and create the config directory first; README names app.basecamp.com.
  • Review round 8 (45bc77b): profile create proves the global config can take an entry before running OAuth (no credential left without a profile on a malformed file); README stops calling an imported token non-expiring.
  • Not run live: the production import (op-coworker read clawdito … | basecamp auth login --with-token -P clawdito --account 2914079 --expect-identity 28142355) and BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://app.basecamp.com basecamp auth login --device-code wait on the bc3 pilot deploy (work package A/B).

Summary by cubic

Adds basecamp auth login --with-token to import personal access tokens from stdin instead of using an interactive OAuth login. The CLI verifies the token before storing it; rejected tokens leave the existing credential untouched, while a later config-write failure can leave a newly bound profile without a credential.

Token import

  • Requires a named profile and an explicit account when creating one, and refuses mismatched account or base URL bindings.
  • Accepts only a single piped token without echoing it, and refuses terminal, malformed, oversized, or positional input.
  • Stores the server-reported read or full scope, expiry, and source: "token" in the existing credential store; --json, auth status, and profile show report these values.
  • Refuses BASECAMP_TOKEN and tokens that expire within the refresh window because imported tokens have no refresh token.
  • Reuses profile registration for profile create, and allows the import command to create a named profile.

Authentication and config

  • --expect-identity <id> now verifies browser, device, and token logins before saving; mismatches preserve the previous credential and exit non-zero.
  • Interactive logins reject --json, --agent, --quiet, --ids-only, and --count before network calls, covering the machine-mode portion of basecamp login blocks and emits prose under machine output / non-interactive environments #669.
  • BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER accepts only an origin for temporary device-flow pinning, while --login-hint is announced locally until SDK support sends it.
  • Global config writers reject malformed or non-object configuration, create missing directories, and profile create checks writability before starting OAuth.

Written for commit 45bc77b. Summary will update on new commits.

A bot's Basecamp identity should never come from a browser sign-in on a
shared machine: whoever's session the browser holds is who the profile
quietly becomes, and nothing checks. Basecamp now mints personal access
tokens, so the CLI can take one from a secret store and refuse to keep it
unless it authenticates as the expected identity.

`basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id>` reads the
token from stdin (a terminal is refused, with the `op read … |` shape
shown), stores it under the profile as a non-expiring bc5 credential —
ExpiresAt 0 is the path AccessToken already never refreshes — and creates
the profile when --account names its account. The profile entry is written
only after /my/profile.json and the authorization endpoint have answered
for the token; a rejected token leaves the profile exactly as it was found,
previous credential included. Profile registration is factored out of
`profile create` so both paths write the same entry, and the root pre-run
lets a may-create command name a profile that does not exist yet.

`--expect-identity <id>` makes every login assertive — browser and device
flows included — discarding the new credential on a mismatch. `--json`
returns the envelope (profile, account, identity, person, oauth_type,
scope, expires_at null), and the interactive flows now refuse machine
output modes up front instead of printing prose and blocking (the
machine-mode half of #669).

`BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER` pins the BC5 authorization server and skips
discovery, so a device login reaches a server that is piloting the client
while its metadata is still dark. It is a temporary escape hatch and is
documented as one. `--login-hint <email>` is wired through LoginOptions;
the pinned SDK cannot put it on the wire yet (basecamp/basecamp-sdk#841
adds the option), so this build tells the user the hint instead of sending
it, and Launchpad ignores it.

  • This implies the approval page receives --login-hint, but the current implementation only prints the email locally and sends no hint to the server. Clarify that limitation so operators do not rely on the page being preselected.
`--expect-identity <id>` makes any login assert who it authenticated as: on a

kept) and the command exits non-zero. `--login-hint <email>` suggests which

  • The comment says the issuer is never echoed, but the success path logs the full validated value at line 873 (and the test requires that output). Either remove the value from the log to honor the promise or clarify that only rejected values are not echoed; the current security documentation is self-contradictory.

  • /my/profile.json is account-scoped, but the raw SDK client does not add an account prefix (internal/appctx/context.go:121 explicitly requires app.Account() for such calls; internal/names/resolver_test.go:607 expects /{account}/my/profile.json). In production this requests the resource root and the strict token-import path rejects every valid token. Resolve and validate the effective account, then fetch the person through the account client; the tests should assert the account-prefixed path.

  • Every Load error is treated as “no previous credential.” A transient keyring/read error can therefore be followed by a successful overwrite, and a failed identity check then deletes the newly written value instead of restoring the previous credential, violating the rollback guarantee.

  • Login durably replaces the profile credential before --expect-identity is evaluated. If the process receives SIGINT/SIGTERM or crashes after OAuth completes but before verification/rollback, the possibly wrong browser identity remains stored—the exact shared-browser case this assertion is meant to prevent. Stage the new credential (for example via a temporary/in-memory token provider), verify it, and commit it only after the expectation passes.

  • The imported token is persisted before either identity request runs. A termination or crash during verification leaves an unverified token behind (and permanently overwrites an existing profile credential), despite the command's guarantee that nothing is kept until verification succeeds.

  • All mismatch-and-rollback tests added here invoke --with-token; the new browser/device --expect-identity branch is untested. Add a command-level OAuth test that completes a device or browser login with a mismatching identity and verifies the previous credential is restored, since this is a core behavior advertised for every login flow.

jeremy force-pushed the auth-login-with-token branch from 0f1a9be to b4d1259 Compare September 2, 2026 20:18
Review of the token import found the rollback doing the wrong job: the
credential was written under the live profile key, checked, and then
restored or deleted — a window where another command could pick up an
unverified token, a restore that could itself fail, and a success line
printed before the check. Turn it around: the candidate token gets a client
of its own (App.SDKClientFor, same transport, hooks and user agent as the
real one), proves itself, and only then is stored. LoginOptions.Verify runs
that check inside the device and Launchpad flows before their store.Save,
so --expect-identity on a browser login stores nothing on a mismatch; the
snapshot/restore code is gone.

The check now covers the account, not only the identity. Production
serves /my/profile.json only under an account prefix (the unscoped path
404s — the old "Logged in as" line had been failing silently), so the
person lookup goes through the account-scoped People().Me, and that
account must be numeric, must be the effective one (--account or
BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID override the profile binding at runtime, so the
mismatch guard compares against that), must appear non-expired in the
authorization document, and for a new profile must have been given
explicitly rather than inherited from the operator's config. A reported
scope outside read/full is refused rather than stored.

Smaller findings from the same round: --scope and --expect-identity are
validated before stdin is consumed; --expect-identity compares parsed
integers; the envelope reports the identity's own email and marks an
existing default profile as default; server-supplied names, the login
hint and the pinned issuer are reduced to one line before reaching the
terminal; an unregistered profile name is no longer used as a cache path
component; the e2e cases assert exact error and code with BASECAMP_PROFILE
cleared; README and the doctor skill describe the token import, the
identity assertion, and that --login-hint is announced, not sent.

  • This account verification is unconditional even when strict is false. As a result, an ordinary login without --expect-identity now aborts before storing its credential whenever the authorization document omits the configured account or the subsequent person lookup fails, contradicting the intended best-effort identity lookup and regressing previously successful logins. Only return these verification errors in strict mode; otherwise retain the authorization identity and continue.
	if v.account != "" {
		if !authorizesAccount(info, v.account) {
			return output.ErrAuth(fmt.Sprintf("%s cannot access account %s (authorized: %s); nothing was stored", who.label(), v.account, authorizedAccountIDs(info)))

internal/commands/auth.go:348

  • When no account is configured, verification can populate who from /authorization.json but leaves PersonID at zero. This then overwrites the newly stored OAuth credential's user_id with the literal "0", which auth status and profile show expose as if it were a real person ID. Preserve the previous best-effort behavior by writing identity metadata only after an account-scoped person was resolved.
				_ = app.Auth.SetUserIdentity(strconv.FormatInt(who.PersonID, 10), who.Email)

internal/commands/auth.go:674

  • This textual comparison also rejects a valid non-canonical account spelling such as --account 0999, because the authorization document's numeric ID is formatted as 999. Compare numerically with accountIDsEqual; otherwise token import can fail even though the token authorizes the requested account.

…ffort

The import verifies a token for one account and base URL and stores it
under a profile; those must be the same place. An existing profile's base
URL must match the effective one (a BASECAMP_BASE_URL override would
verify against one host and store for another), an unbound profile is
bound to the explicitly given account alongside the token (other fields
preserved), and account comparisons are numeric like the rest of the
package. The profile entry is written before the credential, so a failure
between the two leaves a visibly unauthenticated profile rather than an
orphaned secret. Strict verification refuses an authorization document
with no identity id.

An ordinary browser or device login without --expect-identity is not the
assertive kind: an account the token cannot reach, or a person lookup
that fails, no longer discards the login — the identity line falls back
to the authorization document and no person id is fabricated (nothing is
written as user_id 0 either).

Stdin accepts exactly one trailing line ending, the shape a pipe delivers,
rather than trimming whatever whitespace surrounds the secret.

The authorization document reports when the token expires; the import
now stores that instead of claiming the token never does, and the
envelope and status line report it. With no refresh token, AccessToken
refuses the token near expiry with the existing "No refresh token"
error, so the remedy — import again — is named rather than discovered
from failing requests. A document without an expiry still stores zero.

The login command takes no positional arguments, so a token pasted after
--with-token is refused instead of being ignored while it sits in shell
history. Binding an accountless profile rewrites the global config file,
so a profile that arrived from a system, repo or local config is refused
before stdin is read rather than left shadowing a binding it never sees.

  • This assignment discards the app.Config.DefaultProfile == name result computed above. If default_profile already names this missing profile and another profile exists, registration leaves that default in the file but returns false because the profile is not the first one, so both the JSON default field and human “(default)” label are wrong. Preserve either source of default status and add this stale-default creation case to the tests.
    internal/commands/auth.go:571
  • These two trims also remove a bare trailing \r, so input such as bc_at_secret\r bypasses the control-character check and is sent to the server even though only LF/CRLF is allowed. Strip \r only when it is part of a CRLF ending; the bad-stdin matrix should include a bare-CR case.

…xpiry tokens

Config layers merge profiles per name and record one aggregate source for
the whole map, so cfg.Sources["profiles"] cannot say where a particular
profile came from — a global unbound profile was refused whenever a repo
or local config contributed any other profile. Read the global file's
entry instead: binding proceeds when that entry exists and is unbound,
and is refused (before stdin) when it is missing or already bound, since
the accountless effective profile then came from another layer and would
keep shadowing whatever is written.

An imported token has nothing to refresh with, so one that the server
reports as expiring inside the refresh window would be refused by its
first command; the import now declines it up front. RefreshWindow is
exported from the auth package for that check instead of repeating the
five-minute literal.

  • A bare trailing \r is currently stripped and accepted, even though the documented/validated allowance is only one LF or CRLF. This lets control-character-bearing input bypass the rejection below. Strip \r only as part of a CRLF pair.
    internal/commands/profile.go:273
  • The PR says the failing unscoped person lookup in profile create is addressed, but immediately after this call the command still uses app.SDK.Get("/my/profile.json"). On production that remains a 404, so a newly created profile still silently omits its user identity. Use the account-scoped candidate-token verification path here as well and cover profile creation with an account-scoped regression test.
    README.md:210
  • This calls the stored credential non-expiring, but the implementation preserves a server-reported expiry and the next paragraph documents that behavior. Avoid the contradiction by describing it simply as a stored credential.

… imports

Every writer of the global config file read it with parse errors ignored
and then wrote the map back, so a token import that registered a profile
could replace an operator's malformed-but-present config with a partial
decode. loadGlobalConfigFile now treats only a missing file as empty and
returns read and parse errors; register, unregister, bind and set-default
all go through it and refuse before writing.

The near-expiry refusal exists because an imported token has nothing to
refresh with. An asserted OAuth login (--expect-identity) reaches the same
verifier with a refresh token in hand, so the check is keyed to the
import (noRefresh) rather than to strict mode.

Imported credentials record source: "token", and auth status and profile
show report it, so a machine consumer can tell a non-refreshable personal
token from an OAuth credential.

BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER derives its endpoints by appending /oauth/... to
the value, so a path would produce endpoints nothing serves; only an
origin is accepted now (no path, no opaque form). The global config
writers refuse a "profiles" value that is not an object for the same
reason they refuse a parse failure, and loadGlobalConfigFile creates the
config directory so every writer — set-default included — can run before
a global config exists. The README names app.basecamp.com for the token
page and the pinned issuer.

  • These sequential trims also accept a bare trailing \r, although the documented/verified contract is exactly one LF or CRLF. That silently changes malformed secret input instead of letting the control-character check reject it; strip the two allowed endings as units.

README.md:250

  • The release note and usage example specify BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://3.basecamp.com, while this documentation uses https://app.basecamp.com (and the PAT link above changes the same host). Reconcile these before release so the manually pasted release instructions and README direct operators to the same production endpoint.
`BASECAMP_OAUTH_ISSUER=https://app.basecamp.com` pins the OAuth authorization
server and skips discovery, so `basecamp auth login` reaches a server that is
serving piloted clients but not yet advertising itself (discovery still 404s).

internal/commands/profile.go:455

  • A top-level JSON null unmarshals successfully but sets configData to a nil map. Every writer then panics when assigning profiles or default_profile, so this does not fail closed as intended. Reject null as a non-object config (and add it to the malformed-config matrix).
	if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &configData); err != nil {
		return nil, configPath, fmt.Errorf("config file %s is not valid JSON, refusing to rewrite it: %w", configPath, err)
	}
	return configData, configPath, nil

internal/commands/profile.go:352

  • unregisterProfile can now fail on malformed/non-object or unreadable config, but the credential has already been deleted. In that failure path the command returns an error while the profile remains configured and its credential is irreversibly lost. Update the config first, then perform the credential deletion (which is already best-effort).

profile create registers its entry after the OAuth login, and the global
config writers now refuse a malformed file, so a refusal there would have
left a live credential with no profile. The file is checked for
writability before the login runs; nothing is written by the check. The
README no longer calls an imported token non-expiring — its expiry is
whatever the server reports.

  • This accepts a bare trailing carriage return because \r is stripped even when no \n preceded it. That contradicts the single-line validation and lets control-character-bearing input through; strip exactly one CRLF or LF ending so a lone CR reaches the rejection below.
    internal/commands/profile.go:462
  • A config file containing the valid JSON value null decodes with no error but sets configData to a nil map. Every caller then assigns into it (globalProfilesMap or set-default) and panics instead of refusing the malformed top-level shape. Reject a nil result before returning it.

internal/commands/profile.go:243

  • This preflight does not actually check writability: writableGlobalProfiles only creates/reads the directory and parses the JSON. With a readable config in an unwritable directory, it succeeds, OAuth stores profile:<name>, and the later registerProfile fails at CreateTemp, leaving the orphaned credential this check is intended to prevent. Reserve/register the profile before OAuth with rollback, or perform an equivalent write/rename check before starting login.
			// The entry is written only after the login succeeds, so prove
			// the config file can take it before a credential exists to
			// orphan: a malformed file is refused here, not after OAuth.

P1 Badge Reject authority overrides before asserted OAuth login

When --expect-identity is used for an existing profile alongside a mismatching --account/BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID or BASECAMP_BASE_URL, this verifier validates the token against the overridden authority and Login then saves it under the unchanged profile key. Once the override is removed, the profile reverts to its bound account/server, so a credential verified only for the override can replace a working credential and may subsequently be sent to the wrong server. Fresh evidence beyond the resolved token-import comments is that this ordinary OAuth branch still bypasses the profile-binding checks in runLoginWithToken; apply equivalent checks before starting or storing the OAuth login.

P2 Badge Validate the config before consuming a new profile's token

When --with-token is creating a profile, this reads and verifies the secret before registerProfile discovers that the global config is unreadable, malformed, or has a non-object profiles value. The command therefore consumes pipeline input and performs both credential-bearing verification requests even though a deterministic local error already makes success impossible; unlike profile create, this path never calls writableGlobalProfiles first. Run that preflight after deciding created != nil and before reading stdin.
