What

Before connecting Claude on the web to GitHub, setup now checks your gh token's scopes and warns if workflow is missing, because pushes that touch GitHub Actions workflow files will be rejected. You can continue anyway.

Details
  • Runs gh api --include user and reads the x-oauth-scopes response header, classifying the token as present, missing or unknown.
  • The warning panel appears above the confirm prompt and points at gh auth refresh -s workflow.
  • New telemetry event remote_setup_gh_token_scopes records the failure reason: spawn_failed, timeout, gh_api_failed, no_scopes_header.
  • tengu_remote_setup_result gains a gh_token_workflow_scope field on both success and import_failed.
  • No flag gates it; everyone on this build gets the check.
Evidence

Your GitHub CLI token doesn't have the workflow scope.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /web-setup, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed `/autofix-pr` and other cloud-session commands saying to retry or install the Claude GitHub App when no GitHub account is connected; they now point to `/web-setup` or the web connect page changelog see the edit
