Description

It ends up creating a new install without `state`, which I suppose means it can't associate a Matrix user. Would be good to have the UI redirect into a sort of verification service to link a user ID.

For my other projects (Discord space bridging and lettermail) I plan to build a generic verification service which might be of use here.

Research direction

Start by tracing the GitHub Marketplace installation flow and how the UI currently handles the missing `state` value. Define the verification-service handoff and confirm that a Matrix user ID can be linked to the new install before considering the work done.
