Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current GitHub REST API contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: GitHub REST API
Current-contract area: API-root client expects authorizations_url
Likely root cause: A discovery routine fails when GET / no longer advertises the deprecated OAuth authorization URL.
Repair direction: Verifier exercises the changed field/status/enum plus an unaffected endpoint to prevent a brittle one-off patch. Exercise strict and permissive parsing plus one downstream behavior tied to the changed field.

Symptom

A discovery routine fails when GET / no longer advertises the deprecated OAuth authorization URL.

Why This Happens

Several historical response shapes are locally plausible; only the selected current API version determines fields, enums, media types, and status codes.

Common Wrong Fixes

Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
