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): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/d4fd21e4711ae948f04e18a1736d9ee85b590e87/docs/faq.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Note about credentials: tox doesn't forward env vars; keyring-stored credentials may be unreachable; forward DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS or disable keyring (plaintext passwords). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/d4fd21e4711ae948f04e18a1736d9ee85b590e87/docs/repositories.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Credentials via env vars POETRY_HTTP_BASIC__USERNAME/PASSWORD and POETRY_PYPI_TOKEN_. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/d4fd21e4711ae948f04e18a1736d9ee85b590e87/src/poetry/utils/password_manager.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): In verbose mode Poetry prints 'Checking keyring availability: ' followed by Available/Unavailable.
