Research direction
Start by reproducing the OAuth flow from the CLI's /login command with a free account that has referral or invitation credits, then compare it with the Desktop app behavior described in the issue. Trace where the CLI rejects the account and confirm that the fix allows these users to log in while preserving access to their promotional credits.
