How can an agent resolve this problem? [Poetry with private sources in tox/CI/agent shells] Credentials not found or keyring unavailable/locked in headless sessions — forward DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, use POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_<SOURCE>_* env …
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Keyring access depends on desktop session variables; tox does not forward env vars by default.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Exact downstream auth error not quoted; verbose keyring line only.
- Doc-derived; not reproduced.
- exact string is generic; match together with product/context
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Private index requests fail with authentication errors (or prompts) although credentials were stored via `poetry config http-basic`; verbose output shows keyring Unavailable.
- Context
- Product: Poetry Component: credential lookup (keyring / env vars) Operation: poetry install/lock against a private repository from tox, CI, SSH or agent subprocesses Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: poetry 2.x (main at cited commit) Trigger: Credentials live in the system keyring, which isn't reachable from the headless/tox environment (env not forwarded, no D-Bus session, locked keyring).

Proposed fix: [Poetry with private sources in tox/CI/agent shells] Credentials not found or keyring unavailable/locked in headless sessions — forward DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, use POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_<S
Recommended action: Provide credentials via environment variables (POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_<NAME>_USERNAME/PASSWORD or POETRY_PYPI_TOKEN_<NAME>); in tox use passenv (including DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS if using keyring); or `poetry config keyring.enabled false` (stores passwords in plaintext config — be aware).
