13697976db feat(extensions): improve auth UX and add load-time validation (#536)
* feat(extensions): add load-time validation for auth capabilities

Catch common misconfigurations (missing auth section, missing setup_url,
short prompts) at startup via tracing::warn instead of silently failing
at auth time.

* feat(extensions): improve auth prompts, setup_url, and showAuthCard

Add setup_url and descriptive prompts to channel and tool capabilities
files. Fix showAuthCard in web gateway and improve extension manager
auth flow messaging.

* refactor(extensions): extract MIN_PROMPT_LENGTH constant in validate()

Address review feedback: replace magic number 30 with a named constant
for readability and maintainability.

Error Handling

Errors are returned as strings in the error field of the response.

Rate Limit Exceeded

When the GitHub API rate limit is exceeded (and retries fail), you might see:

GitHub API error 429: { "message": "API rate limit exceeded for user ID ...", ... }

The tool automatically logs warnings when the rate limit is low (<10 remaining) and retries on 429/5xx errors.

Invalid Parameters

Invalid event: 'INVALID'. Must be one of: APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, COMMENT

Missing Token

GitHub token not found in secret store. Set it with: ironclaw secret set github_token <token>...

Troubleshooting

"GitHub API error 404: Not Found"

  • Check that the owner and repo are correct.
  • Ensure the github_token has access to the repository (especially for private repos).
  • Verify the token scopes include repo and read:org.

"GitHub API error 401: Bad credentials"

  • The token might be invalid or expired.
  • Update the token: ironclaw secret set github_token NEW_TOKEN.

Rate Limiting

  • The tool logs a warning when remaining requests drop below 10.
  • Check logs for "GitHub API rate limit low".
  • If you hit the limit, wait for the reset time (usually 1 hour).
