Description
Seems to be similar issue to #3409 (though no idea if same cause) but as of a couple of hours ago I kept getting this:
Clicking Allow opens browser to the GH authentication page then ends up here:
But nothing much seems to happen as a result of this... clicking the link does nothing unless I have VSC closed, in which case it just opens VSC whereupon I get the same 'The extension 'GitHub Pull Requests' wants you to sign in again using GitHub.' modal again
- Extension version: 0.148.0
- VSCode Version: 1.123.2
- OS: macOS 26.5.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated sign-in flow with GitHub Pull Requests 0.148.0 in VS Code 1.123.2 on macOS, following the callback behavior shown in the report. Compare the symptoms with issue #3409 and inspect the comment thread for confirmed causes or reproduction details. Done means authentication completes through the browser callback and the sign-in modal no longer reappears.
