Summary
The CLI's session authentication previously completed the WebAuthn step only by talking to a physical USB security key over HID. Users who authenticate with a passkey (a platform authenticator such as Touch ID or Windows Hello, or a synced passkey) have no such device for the CLI to drive, so every command failed with:
This adds a browser-based path: when the console issues a session token challenge, the CLI opens the browser to the console's existing
/login/u2fpage, the browser performs the WebAuthn ceremony (which supports passkeys, platform authenticators, and security keys), and the resulting assertion is returned to the CLI over a short-lived local callback. The direct hardware-key path is retained behind an environment toggle.Configuration
CONVOX_WEB_U2F_DISABLEtrue/ unsettrue, skip the browser flow and authenticate directly against a physical USB security key over HID (the previous behavior).
