Problem

Provider banners use vague states such as "unauthenticated" and "limited availability". An expired approval request also describes a missing process without clearly explaining why the user can no longer answer it.

Change

Ask users to sign in, describe provider warnings in plain language, and explain stopped approval requests using turn terminology on web and mobile. Name the environment in the mobile unsupported-connection notice while retaining its existing compatibility guidance and specific errors.

Copy before and after

{providerName} and {environmentLabel} stand for the names shown in the app.

Where it appears	Before	After
Chat banner, provider needs sign-in	{providerName} is unauthenticated	Sign in to {providerName}
Chat banner, provider warning without a specific message	{providerName} provider has limited availability.	T3 Code encountered a problem with {providerName}.
Mobile, unsupported connection	Client not supported	Can't connect to {environmentLabel}
Web approval request, after the provider process stops	Provider process is gone. Interrupt or restart the run to respond.	The agent process has stopped, so you can no longer answer this approval request. Interrupt or restart the turn to continue.
Mobile approval request, after the provider process stops	The provider process for this request is no longer available. Interrupt or restart the run to continue.	The agent process has stopped, so you can no longer answer this approval request. Interrupt or restart the turn to continue.

The mobile connection notice keeps its existing help, "Use compatible versions of the app and server to connect." Specific error messages still take precedence over that help. Desktop uses the same web copy.

Scope and approval

Copy-only maintenance. The exact wording and four-PR split were requested and approved in the originating T3 Code conversation. Runtime behavior and defaults are unchanged.

Verification

• vp run check:changed passes on this independent branch.
• Rendered the actual ProviderStatusBanner component in the dev client with unauthenticated and warning fixtures, then captured both versions. These images show fixture states, not a live provider outage.
• Matching mobile copy is covered by the changed-package typecheck. Native mobile screens were not exercised.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Use the authentication state for the sign-in title.

A managed Codex installation without a saved login has warning status and unauthenticated auth. The banner includes this state, but the current condition requires error status, so it shows Codex provider status instead of the sign-in title.

Suggested fix

-  const isUnauthenticated = status.status === "error" && status.auth.status === "unauthenticated";
+  const isUnauthenticated = status.auth.status === "unauthenticated";

dry-run draft, no action taken.

closure is warranted under the verification rule. The five-file copy pass changes provider banners, approval recovery text and mobile connection text, but supplied before/after artifacts show only the banners and omit the other changed UI states.

Add clear before/after captures for the approval recovery states and mobile connection label, with reproduction steps and observed results for those paths.

Reopening. An automated triage pass closed this by mistake; the closing comment above does not apply. Sorry for the noise.
