This pull request introduces a significant enhancement to the OAuth authentication process by adding automatic browser launching with a fallback mechanism, improving user experience and error handling. It also updates the project version to 1.1.0 and includes related dependency and documentation updates.

Enhancements to OAuth Flow:

  • Automatic Browser Launching: Introduced the BrowserLauncherService, which attempts to open the OAuth URL in the default system browser. If this fails, it gracefully falls back to displaying the URL in the console for manual access. (src/utils/browser-launcher.ts, src/services/auth.ts, src/services/oauth-server.ts) [1] [2] [3] [4]
  • Improved Error Handling: Added structured logging and fallback mechanisms to ensure a seamless user experience even in failure scenarios. (src/utils/browser-launcher.ts)

Documentation Updates:

  • README.md: Updated to reflect the new browser auto-launch feature and its fallback mechanism, along with a changelog entry for version 1.1.0. (README.md) [1] [2]

Dependency and Configuration Updates:

  • Dependencies: Added the open package to enable browser launching. (package.json)
  • Build Scripts: Updated build and watch scripts to externalize the open package. (package.json)

These changes collectively improve the usability and robustness of the OAuth flow, making the application more user-friendly and reliable.

  • Updates project version to 1.1.0 with corresponding documentation
