What's Wrong?

I'm using cowork on web interface.
I used to push automatically to github everything Claude produces. Very convenient.
I didn't change anything on github part. I even revoked the app on github then reinstalled it from Claude.ai.
There's no way to add any whitelist or repos that would be authorized.
Since yesterday, the access is denied to Claude by the github proxy with this error "...is not in this session's authorized repository set... To fix, add the repository to the session's sources" but now way to add the repo. It also mention an "add_repo" function that doesn't exist.
I tried adding instructions in the project, even in the global instructions. No more success.

What Should Happen?

Claude should get write access to the repo he had access the day before without any issue.
