Use the Azure DevOps extension's connectionData identity probe for both discovery and viewer resolution. Explicit --detect true lets the extension select the repository organization before its configured default, using its existing credential chain. Read the authenticated account login used by PR actor comparisons.
Do not infer authentication from the presence of a PAT variable. Reject Azure's actual public-access anonymous identity, including its active-looking response, and refuse identity IDs without an account login. Report an unresolved organization as unknown rather than falsely rejecting otherwise valid credentials.
A focused authentication-detection bug in the existing Azure DevOps integration. This adds no sign-in flow, credential store, or product setting. The issue documents working PAT commands and the failing Azure-account probe. This requests maintainer review; the issue has not yet received maintainer triage and no approval is claimed.
Verification
Baseline: 66ee628e08; fix: c7b5b1fc9f. macOS arm64, Node 26.10.0. Tests execute a fake az subprocess through the production CLI/discovery path with synthetic responses and no real credentials.
Scenario

PAT-only login with no Azure account session
Unauthenticated
Authenticated DevOps account
Viewer with no authored PRs
Cannot resolve viewer
Resolved from authenticated identity
No resolvable organization

Public anonymous identity or UUID without account login
Review found false success in first patch
Rejected
vp test run packages/source-control-azure-devops/src/server
cd packages/source-control-azure-devops && vp run typecheck
87 package tests passed. Original production code plus the focused PAT/no-organization regressions produces three assertion failures. The anonymous and missing-account cases also failed against the first patch and pass after review corrections. Scoped lint, formatting and package typecheck passed.
Sanitized baseline/final logs and verification notes. Independent GPT-6.1 Sol review used a credential-free public Azure connectionData HTTP response to establish the real anonymous payload. The fix rejects that payload and preserves login-based author/reviewer comparisons.
Limits: no real Azure CLI/PAT-only account, private organization, tenant-less Microsoft account, Windows run or Settings UI verification. The subprocess CLI is fake; the public HTTP probe does not establish real PAT integration. Maintainer review and real-account verification remain outstanding.
Review follow-up
Commit 8be4bbd addresses both Codex findings:
Public access reports as signed out.decodeViewerJson now tells a public-access identity apart from a signed-in identity without a name. The probe reports public access as unauthenticated, so Azure publish/create entry points stay disabled.
Transient failures stay unknown. A nonzero devops invoke exit is unauthenticated only when the output contains a sign-in message. Network, service and CLI failures stay unknown, so a signed-in user is not told to log in again.
Verification: two new or tightened tests in AzureDevOpsCli.test.ts fail on c7b5b1f and pass on 8be4bbd. Azure package suite: 88 passed. vp run check:changed passed (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests).
Commit f7a537f fixes the failing Test Server 1 job, which was already failing on c7b5b1f. SourceControlDiscovery.test.ts still stubbed az account show, which the provider no longer calls. It now stubs the connectionData probe.
Implemented, tested and independently reviewed with GPT-6.1 Sol (medium reasoning), using the Codex harness in T3 Code. Review follow-up fixes and verification by Claude Opus 5.5, using the Claude Code harness in T3 Code.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR changes production Azure DevOps authentication discovery and viewer identity resolution to support PAT-only logins and reject anonymous identities. Because authentication behavior is being modified, the change warrants human review despite its focused scope and added tests.

Summary
Connection-data request and identity decoding packages/source-control-azure-devops/src/server/AzureDevOpsCli.ts, packages/source-control-azure-devops/src/server/azureDevOpsPullRequestJson.ts
The CLI arguments invoke the connectionData resource. The decoder reads authenticated-user fields, classifies anonymous identities, and returns a signed-in account when available.
Discovery uses the connection-data response to classify authentication. It reports nonzero exits as unauthenticated only when output matches an Azure authentication-failure pattern. Tests cover PAT, anonymous, network, and organization outcomes.
getViewer reads the connection-data account and reports the viewer as unavailable when the response is anonymous or has no account. Tests also cover a fallback to the first pull request’s creator when connection data is empty.
pingdotgg/t3code#24124 — The change replaces the az account show probe with connection-data identity for discovery and viewer lookup.

Explanation
The title "fix(azure-devops): recognize PAT-only authentication" follows conventional commit format and names the main change. The changeset replaces the az account show probe with the extension's connectionData identity probe, so PAT-only users are recognized as authenticated. The title is specific and concise, with no file lists or vague terms.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #24124 requires Azure DevOps authentication to work when PAT-backed az devops commands work without az login. The implementation satisfies this requirement. AzureDevOpsCli.connectionDataArgs runs az devops invoke with --detect true, the LocationconnectionData resource, and API version 7.1-preview. Discovery and getViewer use this probe. decodeViewerJson reads authenticatedUser.properties.Account.$value, rejects public-access identities, and does not use an identity ID or display name as a login. Tests cover PAT-only authentication, viewer resolution without authored pull requests, invalid credentials, unresolved organizations, unreachable Azure DevOps, and public anonymous access. Real PAT verification is not present, but the PR identifies this as a verification limit and the coding behavior is covered by the fake CLI tests.

…ent failures unknown
A public-org connectionData response is a definitive signed-out answer,
so the probe now reports it as unauthenticated instead of unknown. A
nonzero exit is only unauthenticated when Azure's output names a sign-in
problem; network, service, and CLI failures stay unknown.

SourceControlDiscovery still stubbed `az account show`, which the
provider no longer calls, so Azure DevOps reported unknown and Test
Server 1 failed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Verified the existing review follow-ups on f7a537f0b5: recognized public-access identities are reported as unauthenticated, and transport/service/CLI failures stay unknown unless they establish an authentication rejection. The Azure package and server discovery suites pass all 90 tests. All code-review threads are resolved; human authentication review and real PAT-only account verification remain outstanding.
Resolved the conflict with current main in bbfd5d1. Kept main’s new provider-independent discovery tests and updated the new Azure auth-parser fixture to the connection-data response used by this fix. PAT, anonymous-identity, viewer, and authentication-error coverage remains in the Azure package.
Verification: all 91 tests across the Azure server package and server discovery passed. vp run check:changed upstream/main passed formatting, lint, both knip checks, affected-package typechecks, and its 64 focused tests. The final fixture edit also passed its targeted lint and the 91-test run. Real Azure credentials and Windows verification remain untested.
Resolved the conflicts with main in c201c64 and preserved the new extension-based viewer fallback alongside PAT authentication. Added a regression test for that fallback in 6c7f86e.
Verification: all 92 Azure/discovery tests passed. The changed-file checks also passed formatting, lint, the first dependency-analysis pass, typechecks across 10 affected packages, and 65 selected tests. These ran sequentially with one test worker. The second dependency-analysis pass is deferred to CI after exceeding the local 1 GB heap cap. Real PAT authentication and Windows behavior were not reverified locally.

four focused regressions fail with current main's production files: pat discovery, viewer without authored prs, transient failure classification, and unresolved organization.
all 92 azure server tests pass on this head, including anonymous rejection before viewer fallback.
vp run check:changed d92c437baa19 passes formatting, lint, both knip passes, typechecks for 11 affected packages, and 79 selected tests.
two independent whole-diff reviews found no blocker or should findings.
unverified: real azure cli/pat credentials, private organizations, windows/wsl, and the settings/client path. the subprocess fixture uses synthetic responses and does not prove real pat integration. no client layout or controls changed, so no visual evidence is claimed.
known low findings: the existing pull-request provider sign-in requirement still recommends az login; the subprocess fixture does not reproduce production timeouts/output limits. retained the focused credential-probe regressions and deferred these nits to keep the takeover scoped. all 29 ci checks now pass on this head, and gitcafe reports it mergeable. coderabbit remains automatically paused; the two independent reviews cover the current head.
Checked github/main at 80a2351fcb in a separate worktree first, then the exact PR head 93417b59ba424481b90fe085a2deb2c7f6da5d63. Installed dependencies on both. Ran one background dev server at a time with isolated empty state, stopping main before starting the PR. Playwright 1.60.0 drove /usr/bin/google-chrome on Linux. No mocked CLI, fixture data, or replay provider was used for runtime verification.
Created the real repository project through Add project > Local folder. Sent real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the composer on both servers. The PR turn ran read-only git commands and returned the exact head, clean status, and origin.
With Azure CLI 2.91.0 / DevOps extension 1.0.10 and no organization, main reports Not authenticated. The PR's Settings > Source control rescan returns auth.status: unknown through the real WebSocket and displays Could not verify Azure DevOps, including the CLI's organization guidance.
Configured a real Azure organization URL without credentials and rescanned. The actual CLI rejected missing credentials, the server returned unauthenticated, and Add project marked Azure DevOps Setup Required. Restored the empty organization default afterward.
GitHub and GitCafe stayed authenticated in both clients. Existing Azure package checks through blacksmith-check passed: 92 tests in 6 files. The exact head has 29 successful CI checks, zero pending/failing. Those tests supplement the runtime checks; they do not establish real PAT integration.
Rescanning after configuring an organization without credentials, then checking the creation entry point:
Real Codex turn on the exact head:
Not verified
The central PAT-only success scenario is still unverified. This VM had no Azure PAT, account session, or private organization credentials. I could reproduce and verify the unresolved-organization classification change, but could not reproduce the original valid-PAT/no-Azure-account bug or prove authenticated viewer resolution with no authored PRs. No production fix was inferred from missing credentials, and no source changes, commits, or pushes were made.
Also unverified against the real Azure service: anonymous connectionData payload rejection, viewer fallback, organization precedence across authenticated organizations, transient network failures, and Azure PR operations. Native mobile, Electron, macOS, and Windows were not exercised. This is partial real-environment verification, not full PAT authentication sign-off.
…fake CLI
Drop the subprocess-driven fake az fixture; the same discovery outcomes
(signed in, public access, offline, no organization) are asserted on
parseAuth directly. Tidy imports in the discovery spec.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
…misses
Discovery runs in the server's directory, so making connectionData the
primary auth probe let one organization's rejection mark Azure DevOps
signed out everywhere, even for an az login that works for the project's
organization. Restore az account show as the primary probe and ask
connectionData as the retry, which can only add a PAT sign-in.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the fix is written and reviewed, but proving it needs something no worker has:
Permanent blocker: a real personal Microsoft account without an Entra tenant, a valid Azure DevOps PAT, and an accessible organization are required; no Azure credentials or configured account were available.
PAT-only authentication discovery, viewer resolution for an account with no authored pull requests, anonymous access classification, and unresolved-organization/transient-failure classification were not exercised on either commit.

Problem
T3 checks Azure DevOps authentication using
az account show, which reports Azure account login rather than the DevOps extension's PAT credentials. A user whoseaz repos prcommands already work can therefore be shown as unauthenticated. The viewer fallback also depends on having authored a PR. Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/24124.Change
Use the Azure DevOps extension's
connectionDataidentity probe for both discovery and viewer resolution. Explicit--detect truelets the extension select the repository organization before its configured default, using its existing credential chain. Read the authenticated account login used by PR actor comparisons.Do not infer authentication from the presence of a PAT variable. Reject Azure's actual public-access anonymous identity, including its active-looking response, and refuse identity IDs without an account login. Report an unresolved organization as unknown rather than falsely rejecting otherwise valid credentials.
The command and organization precedence were checked against the official extension's invoke implementation and credential/organization resolver. Use
7.1-preview, which the CLI's version parser supports.Scope and approval
A focused authentication-detection bug in the existing Azure DevOps integration. This adds no sign-in flow, credential store, or product setting. The issue documents working PAT commands and the failing Azure-account probe. This requests maintainer review; the issue has not yet received maintainer triage and no approval is claimed.
