feat(connectors): allow skipping OAuth with Esc key

[Paveltarno]

Note

Description

This PR enhances the OAuth authorization flow for connectors by allowing users to skip individual connector authorization with the Esc key (or Ctrl+C), rather than terminating the entire CLI process. This improves UX when pushing multiple connectors by letting users skip problematic ones and continue with the rest. The implementation works around a clack bug where block() calls process.exit(0) on cancel keys.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Other (please describe):

Changes Made

• Added new SKIPPED status to OAuthFlowStatus type
• Renamed runOAuthFlow to runOAuthFlowWithSkip to reflect new skip capability
• Implemented temporary process.exit override to intercept Esc/Ctrl+C and set skipped flag instead of killing the process
• Added spinner with "Esc to skip" instruction during OAuth authorization polling
• Updated summary display to show skipped connectors in yellow
• Updated tests to use new function name and mock the @clack/prompts spinner

Testing

• I have tested these changes locally
• I have added/updated tests as needed
• All tests pass (npm test)

Checklist

• My code follows the project's style guidelines
• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (if applicable)
• My changes generate no new warnings
• I have updated AGENTS.md if I made architectural changes

Additional Notes

The implementation uses a temporary override of process.exit to intercept the cancel signal from clack's block() function, which normally calls process.exit(0) directly instead of emitting SIGINT. This workaround ensures the spinner's cancellation is properly handled and the CLI can continue to the next connector instead of exiting entirely.

Found 1 issue that needs attention:

Issue: User instruction does not match actual behavior

Location: src/core/resources/connector/oauth.ts:44

The spinner message tells users to press Esc to skip:

s.start(`Waiting for ${params.type} authorization... (Esc to skip)`);

However, the actual skip mechanism works by intercepting process.exit, which is only called by Clack's block() function when the user presses Ctrl+C, not Esc. This is correctly documented in the code comment (lines 23-26).

Problem: When users press Esc (as instructed), nothing happens. They will be stuck waiting for the 2-minute timeout. Only Ctrl+C will trigger the skip.

Suggested fix: Change the message to match the actual mechanism:

s.start(`Waiting for ${params.type} authorization... (Ctrl+C to skip)`);

  	/**
  	* Clack's block() puts stdin in raw mode where Ctrl+C calls process.exit(0)
  	* directly instead of emitting SIGINT. We override process.exit temporarily
  	* so Ctrl+C skips the current connector instead of killing the process.

I commented this in the parent PR #189

the entire pWaitFor should not be in the core/ folder.. and in this PR there's now also spinners and more stuff which core/ packages should not be familiar with.
