🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove the English text selector.
:has-text('Create with Google Flow') is language-dependent. If the structural selectors do not match, this fallback fails on a localized page.
Use only stable structural classes or attributes.
Proposed change
if hasattr(p, "locator"):
create_btn = p.locator(
- "button.flow-button.variant-primary, button.cta-button, "
- "button:has-text('Create with Google Flow')"

).firstAs per coding guidelines, "All DOM selectors in src/gflow_cli/api/transports/ must be 100% language-agnostic, anchoring exclusively on structural properties." <coding_guidelines>

Return after a successful post-click Flow navigation. When the /about Create click reaches a non-/about Flow URL, flow_landing_kind(new_url) returns None, so the public branch falls through to FlowAppError. The helper contract is exception-or-silent, and migrated_composer.ensure_editor has recovery logic after this call. Treat a confirmed non-/about Flow destination as recovered and return so that this caller can continue. Do not treat that return as a universal success signal: callers that raise unconditionally after raise_if_known_landing still need their own recovery handling.

This is blocking a shipped feature. v0.78.0's project-creation-on-flow.google.com cannot complete on that account, and it is 9 of the 13 standing canary failures (#888). It is also account-scoped, which is the part your PR description does not yet account for. Same build, same minute:
So My review points are unchanged and none of them is about the premise:

So for this account the cause is a pending Google identity re-verification with a healthy cookie jar. That is why auth status calls the session verified while Flow sends it to /about (#756).
What this means for the PR:
- The click cannot recover automatically. It reaches a password page. On this account your code raises
AuthExpiredError, which is the right exit class. The remediation text, though, has to tell the user to finish Google's identity check in Chrome, not to rungflow auth login. gflow auth logindoes not fix it on its own. It reportedverifiedin 0.4 s because the cookies are valid, and closed Chrome before Google could ask. Filed as auth login declares success on valid cookies and cannot clear Google's pending identity re-check (/about) #902; it is not yours to fix here.- Selector:
button.flow-button.variant-primarymatches 18 buttons on/about: the hero, 15 "Try in Google Flow" cards, "Apply here" and a "Get started" plan button..firstonly picks the hero because of DOM order.button.cta-buttonmatched exactly 1. Please anchor on that and drop both thevariant-primaryandhas-textarms. Google's re-auth page on this account rendered in pt-BR, so the text arm is a real risk, not a theoretical one. - The fallback
FlowAppErrorstill says "not authenticated". What was measured is narrower: Google requires this account to re-verify its identity. If you want to name a cause, name that one, and only on the branch where the click actually reachedconfirmidentifier.
My earlier points 3 and 4 (the duplicated recovery, the retryable=False comment) stand. The offer to merge the batchexecute half as its own PR also stands.
