Fixes #35624

Problem

Connecting Cursor Origin fails with "Could not verify Cursor Origin. Install the Origin CLI with …, then run origin auth login." even when the CLI is installed and signed in.

The connection check runs origin auth status --json. The CLI exits 1 unless the fields are named:

$ origin auth status --json
Error: Specify one or more comma-separated fields for `--json`:
  authenticated
  authMethod
  source
  endpoint
  tokenValid
  apiKeyPrefix
  account
  team
  teams
  organization
  shadowedStored
  reason
$ echo $?
1

With no JSON on stdout, the check reports auth as unknown, which the UI shows as the install hint. OriginCli.viewer runs the same command, so getViewer fails as well.

Change

Both call sites now run origin auth status --json authenticated,tokenValid,account. Those are the three fields OriginAuthStatusSchema reads. The arguments live in one constant, ORIGIN_AUTH_STATUS_ARGS, so the discovery spec and authStatus() cannot drift apart. The package's pr view and pr list calls already name their --json fields this way.

A CURSOR_API_KEY sign-in reports tokenValid: null, which the schema rejected, so API-key users still saw the install hint. tokenValid now accepts null; both readers already treat only false as signed out.

The new test needs @t3tools/source-control-testing, which the other forge packages already use, so it is added as a dev dependency (three lockfile lines).

Scope and approval

This is a very small, focused fix for an obvious bug, now tracked in #35624: the provider added in #33093 cannot connect with the current stable Origin CLI. The only behaviour changes are the argument list of one CLI command and accepting tokenValid: null.

Verification

Environment: Linux aarch64, Origin CLI 2026.11.03-22-10-56-fbcd8ba (current stable), signed in.

Failing test first. OriginSourceControlProvider.test.ts runs the discovery probe against a fake origin that, like the real one, exits 1 on a bare --json and prints only the fields it is asked for. On main:

× reads the sign-in from an Origin CLI that wants its --json fields named
AssertionError: expected 'unknown' to equal 'authenticated'

The test also covers an API-key sign-in (tokenValid: null). Before the tokenValid change it failed with api-key: expected 'unknown' to equal 'authenticated'.

With the fix, vp test run in the package passes (2 files, 4 tests).

Runtime transcript against the real CLI. A script ran makeDiscovery's probe and OriginCli.viewer through the real OriginCli.layer and a process host that spawns the installed origin binary. Account values are masked.

=== main (source reverted)
discovery.probe -> {"status":"available","version":"2026.11.03-22-10-56-fbcd8ba","auth":{"status":"unknown","account":null,"host":null}}
OriginCli.viewer -> FAILED (failed): Specify one or more comma-separated fields for `--json`:

=== with fix
discovery.probe -> {"status":"available","version":"2026.11.03-22-10-56-fbcd8ba","auth":{"status":"authenticated","account":"<present>","host":"origin.cursor.com"}}
OriginCli.viewer -> <present>

vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 41 packages, tests).

Not checked: the Settings UI in a running client, and Origin CLI versions other than the one above.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 35ee801

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Cursor Origin discovery and viewer lookup now explicitly request the JSON fields needed to recognize an existing signed-in CLI session. Authentication checks and credential handling remain unchanged, keeping the change narrowly scoped.

Walkthrough

Origin auth status now requests the authenticated, tokenValid, and account fields. The parser accepts a nullable tokenValid value. Provider discovery uses the shared arguments, and a mock CLI test checks discovery with named fields.

Changes: Origin auth status

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Auth status arguments and discovery packages/source-control-cursor-origin/src/server/OriginCli.ts, packages/source-control-cursor-origin/src/server/OriginSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-cursor-origin/src/server/OriginSourceControlProvider.test.ts, packages/source-control-cursor-origin/package.json	The CLI defines and uses explicit auth status fields, and its schema accepts nullable tokenValid. Provider discovery uses the shared argument list. The test mock requires named fields and checks authenticated status, the acme namespace, and the account email. The package adds @t3tools/source-control-testing as a development dependency.

This change lets Cursor Origin recognize a signed-in CLI again by requesting the auth status fields the current CLI requires. No merge-blocking risk is evident from the supplied changes.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(source-control): Cursor Origin recognises a signed-in CLI" is a conventional commit title that names the main change. The changeset makes Origin CLI auth discovery pass named --json fields (authenticated,tokenValid,account) and accepts tokenValid: null, so a signed-in CLI is recognized. The title is specific and matches the objectives.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. It links issue #35624 and explains the bug, the two call-site fix, and the tokenValid null handling. Scope explains why no feature is added and why no further issue is needed beyond the linked one. Verification gives a failing-test-first result, a runtime transcript against the real CLI, and the commands run, and it states what was not checked. The template's agent-attribution line is present. The description does not follow the template's exact HTML comments, but it covers every required section with specific content.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#35624] The issue requires that a signed-in Origin CLI be recognized as authenticated, and that Origin pull requests load. The cause is that origin auth status --json exits 1 without named fields. The change passes --json authenticated,tokenValid,account through the shared ORIGIN_AUTH_STATUS_ARGS constant in OriginCli.ts. Both authStatus() and the discovery probe in OriginSourceControlProvider.ts use this constant, so OriginCli.viewer and the discovery auth check use the same valid command. OriginAuthStatusSchema reads only these three fields. The change also accepts tokenValid: null, so CURSOR_API_KEY sign-ins are recognized. The new test in OriginSourceControlProvider.test.ts uses a fake CLI that rejects bare --json. It covers OAuth and API-key sign-ins and expects authenticated. The PR description also reports a runtime check against the real CLI version named in the issue. The issue's requirements are coding requirements, and this PR implements them. Evidence comes from the PR summary and the described code changes. The lockfile is excluded by ignored_files, so the lockfile lines were not reviewed. This does not affect the verdict.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes connect to #35624. The argument-list change in OriginCli.ts and OriginSourceControlProvider.ts fixes the reported failure. The tokenValid schema change lets API-key sign-ins pass the same auth check, which is part of recognizing a signed-in CLI. The new test in OriginSourceControlProvider.test.ts covers the fixed behavior. The added @t3tools/source-control-testing dev dependency in packages/source-control-cursor-origin/package.json supports that test, and the PR states that sibling forge packages already use it. No unrelated refactoring or feature work appears in the summary. The pnpm-lock.yaml update is excluded from review by ignored_files, so its contents were not inspected. This does not change the verdict, because the dependency declaration itself is visible and connected to the test.

Make the test detect an omitted account field.

The mocked personalNamespace replaces the email before this assertion. If account is removed from ORIGIN_AUTH_STATUS_ARGS, this test still passes, but OriginCli.viewer cannot return the signed-in email. Add a focused assertion for the email parsed from the fixture response, or test OriginCli.viewer with that response. As per coding guidelines, “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.” As per path instructions, request a missing test only when it “would catch a real regression.”

I hit this too on T3 Code (Beta) 0.1.9 with Origin CLI 2026.11.03-22-10-56-fbcd8ba, and opened #35624 to track it. Could you add Fixes #35624 to the PR description so the issue closes when this merges?
