What's Wrong?

When running claude in an SSH session and trying to log in with a Claude Pro account via OAuth, the generated authorization URL contains an unknown scope user:sessions:claude_ (note the trailing underscore), causing the OAuth flow to fail with "Requête OAuth invalide".

What Should Happen?

Successful login with Claude Pro account
