Milestone: Providers C: closeout
Tracking: #3211
Spec: docs/features/calendar-providers.md
Depends on: #3250, #3263

Goal / finish line

Only one of the six stateReason values has user-facing copy. Reasons are ConnectionStateReasonSchema (packages/core/src/types/sync/connection.contracts.ts:34-41: authorizationRevoked | authorizationExpired | insufficientScopes | consentRequired | workOverdue | providerErrors). The backend collapse packages/backend/src/common/services/sync-service/connection-state.translation.ts:25-29 maps the first three to RECONNECT_REQUIRED and lets consentRequired (Microsoft admin consent, packages/sync/src/providers/microsoft/microsoft-consent.ts) fall to ATTENTION, whose copy says "Try Refresh, or reconnect if this continues", wrong advice for a tenant that needs an admin. The web reads stateReason only for providerErrors (packages/web/src/auth/providers/connect.util.ts:230,456).

Surfaces: getGoogleSyncStatus (connect.util.ts:255-341, no provider parameter), the Record<ProviderKind, string> tables in packages/web/src/auth/providers/provider-copy.util.ts, packages/web/src/components/Sidebar/CalendarList/useAccountHeaderStatus.ts, components/Sidebar/SidebarStatusBar.tsx (aggregates every account into one line), components/CalendarConnectionBanner/, Settings rows components/Settings/SettingsModal.tsx:449-493, toasts common/utils/toast/google-reconnect.toast.tsx and google-delayed.toast.tsx, and components/PointerHint/PointerHint.tsx:138-145 (already provider-aware).

  • Pass stateReason through the collapse untouched and give every reason a string and a next action keyed by reason and credential kind: a password credential says to update the app-specific password, never "reconnect Google"; consentRequired says the organization's admin must approve Compass and links docs/self-hosting/microsoft-calendar.md; workOverdue and providerErrors keep their refresh advice.
  • SidebarStatusBar names the account when accounts disagree.
  • Run the qa-ux-sweep skill over the surfaces with fixtures for every state, reason, provider and credential kind. Fix wrong or misleading copy and any state that lacks a next action.
  • Put the state, provider, string table in the PR body.

Rules: keep Google byte-identical; no provider === "x" branches in domain or web code, use capabilities; no em-dashes in user-facing copy. Line numbers are from main a85f848 (2026-09-05); re-grep before editing. Keep the PR under 60 files and 4000 changed lines or the merge guard downgrades it.

Acceptance

  • Component tests assert each string whole for every reason and both credential kinds.
  • The translation test covers consentRequired reaching the web with its reason.
  • The PR body carries the state, provider, string table.
