What's Wrong?
When running claude in an SSH session and trying to log in with a Claude Pro account via OAuth, the generated authorization URL contains an unknown scope user:sessions:claude_ (note the trailing underscore), causing the OAuth flow to fail with "Requête OAuth invalide".
What Should Happen?
Successful login with Claude Pro account
Error Messages/Logs
