Description

The remote server integration on Cline has some issues when authenticating oAuth, when redirected to localhost:

The URL provided has two main issues for the Linear API:

scope=...offline_access: The scope offline_access is not used by Linear.

&access_type=offline: This parameter is also not used by Linear.

Furthermore, the state parameter in the URL is a unique security key for a single login attempt and has likely expired. You cannot reuse an old authorization link.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Trace the Cline remote-server OAuth callback and compare the Linear authorization URL with the listed parameters; done means the unsupported offline_access scope and access_type=offline parameter are no longer sent and a fresh login flow still works.
