Recommended action: Set NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN (personal access token) or pass --auth; for human-in-the-loop agent auth use `netlify login --request "<message>"` then `netlify login --check <ticket-id>`. Option: Provide NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. export NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=<token> (CI secret) 2. netlify deploy --site $NETLIFY_SITE_ID Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Option: Agent ticket login [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. netlify login --request "Deploy preview for PR" --json 2. Human approves the ticket 3. netlify login --check <ticket-id> Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
