### Files Version

4.1.3.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached debug.log and reproducing cloning in Files 4.1.3.0 on Windows 10 with a GitHub account that shows as logged in. Trace the clone authentication flow from the reported error, then verify that cloning succeeds without requiring another login callback.
