Proposed fix: [OpenHands] ChatGPT OAuth login: 'OAuth callback server port <N> is already in use. Please free the port or set a different one via OPENHANDS_OAUTH_PORT.'
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Free the port (stop the other login server) or set OPENHANDS_OAUTH_PORT to a free port.
Option: Free the port (stop the other login server) or set OPENHANDS_OAUTH_PORT to a free port. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Browser OAuth sign-in while another process (e.g. Codex CLI login) holds the callback port
Steps:
1. Find the process using the port (lsof -i :<port>)
2. Stop it or export OPENHANDS_OAUTH_PORT=<free port>
3. Retry sign-in
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
