Exercise two stale GitHub App requests against the same auth instance while the first token refresh holds the lock. Assert both requests reuse the replacement token and only one installation token is issued so the refresh_request lock behavior is covered directly.

-
High: refresh_request unconditionally restores the installation token without verifying the request’s origin. A cross-origin redirect normally strips Authorization, but an attacker-controlled destination can return 401 {"message":"Bad credentials"} and the new retry branch will resend that destination with the token. Codex reproduced this end to end: the PR head exposed Bearer t1; the base exposed no credential.
-
Medium: persistent matching 401s mint a fresh token on every retry, including after the terminal attempt. A three-attempt probe sent three tokens but issued four, enabling credential-issuance/rate-limit churn across the shared client’s 62 request call sites.
The same-origin recovery and concurrency locking are otherwise well designed. The 14 focused tests, Ruff, and diff checks passed. The full suite remains blocked by the two pre-existing missing test modules; CI currently shows only branch validation, so no complete test gate is running.
Restrict installation token refresh retries to same-origin API requests that already carried a bearer token, preventing redirected requests from regaining authorization after Requests strips it. Stop retry-driven token minting once a replacement token has already been rejected, while preserving lock-based reuse for concurrent stale requests. Pass API origin context through app auth construction and add regression coverage for cross-origin redirects and repeated bad-credentials responses.

Catch installation token refresh failures inside refresh_request so the retry policy can return false instead of propagating an exception or mutating the request header. Log the failed refresh without including exception contents and add regression coverage proving the original Authorization header remains unchanged when refresh fails.

Validate the selected request API origin against the GithubInstallation API origin during auth initialization so retry matching and token minting cannot be configured for different hosts. Preserve the selected API URI for equivalent origins and add regression coverage for mismatched installation and request origins.

The prior cross-origin credential leak and persistent token-churn findings are fixed at the updated head 74c5ace. Redirect, repeated-401, origin-mismatch, and refresh-failure handling all fail closed in end-to-end probes.
A security review agent still recommended requesting changes:
- Medium: _response_refreshed_token is shared token-level state. After a replacement token successfully completes one request, an unrelated future 401 for that token cannot trigger a new refresh. My probe produced 200 for the recovery request followed by an unrecoverable 401 for the independent request, potentially leaving collection/graph evidence incomplete.
- Low: _normalized_http_origin accepts plaintext HTTP while source() now passes custom hosts into the App JWT session. An HTTP GitHub Enterprise deployment exposes both the App JWT—which can mint installation tokens—and returned installation tokens to a network attacker. A GitHub site administrator would need to manually disable TLS on a GitHub Enterprise Server instance with a network-positioned attacker for this to be an issue. Still, probably not the best to theoretically allow plaintext credential exchanges.
Replace the response-refreshed token sentinel with weak request-local tracking so repeated 401s for the same repaired request still fail closed without blocking a later independent request from refreshing the same installation token. This preserves the anti-churn behavior while allowing collection to recover when a subsequently issued request receives its own bad-credentials response.\n\nAlso reject plaintext HTTP API origins for GitHub App JWT and installation-token sessions so custom GitHub Enterprise hosts cannot send app credentials over an unencrypted connection. Add regression coverage for independent request recovery and plaintext host rejection.

The latest changes correctly:
- Scope retry suppression to the specific PreparedRequest with weak-reference tracking.
- Allow later independent requests to refresh normally.
- Preserve the one-refresh limit for a persistently failing request.
- Reject non-HTTPS App JWT/token endpoints.
- Prevent cross-origin credential restoration, refresh-error leakage, and issuer/request-origin mismatch.

Summary
401 Bad credentialsBackground
Long-running collections can hit GitHub rate limits and sleep for a long
Retry-Afterinterval. DLT retries the same prepared request after that wait, which means the request can still carry the installation token that was valid when it was first prepared. If that token expires during the wait, the retry returns401 Bad credentialseven though the auth object itself supports token refresh.This change repairs the stale prepared request in the retry policy for GitHub App auth by refreshing the installation token and rewriting the request Authorization header before retrying.
