Install/auth: prompt user to select org when Claude account has multiple orgs

Drew Owens · 1mo ago

During HD install, the Claude Code auth flow gets stuck waiting for the "Authorize" button. The cause: my Claude account belongs to two orgs, so Claude shows a "Select organization" screen first ("Select which organization you would like to connect with Claude Code"), listing both orgs (e.g. "Adom" and "[email protected]'s Organization"). The Authorize button only appears after an org is picked.

HD sat on "Waiting for the 'Authorize' button to appear (page loading)… (0s · browser in front)" indefinitely because it doesn't account for this intermediate step.

Ask: HD should detect the org-selection screen and prompt the user to pick an org before it starts polling for the Authorize button (or surface the page so the user knows action is needed).

Screenshot available (org-selection screen with the HD 'waiting for Authorize' status bar overlaid).

TRIAGE (Fable 5, 2026-07-31): appears STILL OPEN. Searched the current source for a multi-org selection prompt in the auth/login flow and found only the profile-viewer org lists (OrgPage/UserPage organizations[]), not an org-picker in the sign-in intent flow. No evidence the install/auth path prompts org selection when a Claude account belongs to multiple orgs. Leaving open; image-independent.

Status (2026-08-03): still open and image-independent; the sign-in flow has no org-selection detection yet. Real fix belongs in the auth window's page-state detection (detect the 'Select organization' screen and surface/click it) alongside the existing Authorize-button watcher. Keeping open.
