📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughOAuth initialization now supports ordered PKCE and device-flow fallback. The client classifies unavailable flows and SSO conditions, reuses management connections safely, and adds setup-key guidance to CLI and gRPC login errors. ChangesOAuth fallback flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The client now falls back to another available OAuth method, but a device-only failure can display an inaccurate message, and unusual concurrent reuse could associate authorization steps with the wrong flow. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded issues. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

fallbackFlow.
fallbackFlowintroduces shared mutable state (active,remaining) guarded byf.mu. No test exercises concurrent access, sogo test -racecannot detect a missing or misplaced lock in this type. A small test that callsRequestAuthInfo,WaitToken, andGetClientIDfrom several goroutines would cover the swap path under the race detector.As per coding guidelines: "Protect shared mutable state with a mutex, atomic, or channel as appropriate; perform a two-pass race analysis and run

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Derive the flow names in the error message from the attempted flows.
flowInitError hardcodes both flow names. In forced device-only mode flowOrder returns a single entry, so errs contains only the device flow error. The user then reads that the PKCE flow is also unavailable, which was never attempted. Build the list from errs instead.
🔧 Proposed fix
if allMatch(errs, isFlowUnavailable) {
- return &ssoUnavailableError{msg: "the management server has no SSO provider configured: " +
- "neither the pkce authorization flow nor the device code flow is available"}
+ return &ssoUnavailableError{msg: fmt.Sprintf(
+ "the management server has no SSO provider configured: %v", errors.Join(errs...))}

Describe your changes
The client picks one authorization flow and stays on it, so a server or identity provider that does not offer that flow fails the login instead of using the other one. This turns the choice into a preference with a fallback.
