What
The same new Console profile flow checks the result of a sign-in before storing anything, and explains each failure separately rather than failing generically.
Details
Rejects a sign-in with no inference access ("The organization didn't grant inference access to this sign-in, so Claude Code can't use it."), with no refresh token, or with a non-finite expiry.
Replacing an existing claude.ai login clears that record.
A credential file that is a symlink is refused with its own explanation.
Evidence
The organization didn't grant inference access to this sign-in, so Claude Code can't use it.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
