Description
The Errors section of [specs/api/auth.md](../specs/api/auth.md) lists \`oauth_state_mismatch\` and \`oauth_session_invalid\` as \`401 unauthenticated\` responses, while \`github_unreachable\` and \`email_unverified\` are documented as \`502\`/\`403\` *with* explicit redirect to \`/login?error=\`.
The github-oauth plan adopts the redirect strategy uniformly: every failure mode in the browser OAuth callback redirects to \`/login?error=\`. That matches [specs/screens/login.md](../specs/screens/login.md) which expects \`?error=\` rendering, and is what makes sense for a callback the browser hits directly.
Should the spec be updated to:
- list every OAuth error as 'redirect with \`?error=\`' (the actual user experience), and
- reserve the bare-status-code shape for non-browser callers (e.g., if the API ever exposes the same flow to a CLI client)?
Filed in the github-oauth closeout — non-blocking for that plan, but worth a small spec edit.
