Description

Claude Code Web does not update the repository list after reinstalling and reconfiguring the GitHub app. It keeps showing stale/old repositories from previously connected organizations, even after a complete reset.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Noticed repos from org Namiyoga-New (3 repos: namiyoga-studio-prod, namiyoga-dev, namiyoga-reservas) were not appearing in Claude Code Web repo selector
  2. Went to github.com/settings/installations → installed the "Claude" GitHub App on the Namiyoga-New org with "All repositories" access
  3. Confirmed installation was successful (shows "Installed 1 minute ago" on GitHub)
  4. Refreshed Claude Code Web → repos still not showing
  5. Logged out and back in to Claude Code Web → still old repos
  6. Went to github.com/settings/apps/authorizations → confirmed Claude has access to all 4 orgs (Namiyoga-New, Progetti-Alessio, StudyIA-2026, talionwar)
  7. Revoked Claude from "Authorized GitHub Apps" tab → re-authorized → still old repos
  8. Revoked all apps from "Authorized OAuth Apps" tab → still old repos
  9. Uninstalled Claude GitHub App from ALL orgs via github.com/settings/installations
  10. Re-connected GitHub from Claude Code Web from scratch → reinstalled on all orgs → still showing the exact same old repo list
  11. Cleared browser cache and cookies for claude.ai
  12. Opened Claude Code Web in incognito window, logged in fresh, reconnected GitHub → still the same stale repo list

Expected Behavior

After reinstalling and re-authorizing the GitHub app, Claude Code Web should show the current list of repositories from all authorized organizations, including the newly added org (Namiyoga-New).

Actual Behavior

Claude Code Web continues to show a stale list of repos. The list includes repos from an org (NamiYoga-Legacy) that was never explicitly connected to the new Claude installation, while repos from the newly installed org (Namiyoga-New) do not appear.

Stale repos shown (from NamiYoga-Legacy, not currently installed):

  • nami-music-creator
  • 3dposeConverter
  • namiyoga-locations
  • rag-server
  • 2d-poser
  • nami-sequence-aio

Missing repos (from Namiyoga-New, correctly installed):

  • namiyoga-studio-prod
  • namiyoga-dev
  • namiyoga-reservas

Environment

  • Claude Code Web (claude.ai/code)
  • Browser: Safari/macOS
  • GitHub account: talionwar
  • Organizations: Namiyoga-New, StudyIA-2026, Progetti-Alessio, talionwar
  • Date: 2026-04-05

Conclusion

The repository list appears to be cached server-side and never invalidated, even after a complete uninstall/reinstall cycle of the GitHub app across all organizations.
