Summary

Gumroad's OAuth2 server rejects PKCE-augmented token-exchange POSTs with HTTP 400. Apollo currently injects code_verifier because disable_pkce: false. Flipping to true removes the unsupported param and restores connection creation.

Why this is the cause

Apollo flow at apps/apollo/src/lib/connected_accounts/oAuth2.ts:576-577 appends code_verifier to the token POST whenever disable_pkce is falsy, and code_challenge to the authorize URL during the redirect step. Gumroad's OAuth2 docs make no mention of PKCE — strict servers 400 on unknown params.

Production evidence (queried from `app_db.apollo_connected_accounts` + `apollo_auth_configs`)

Window	Failed / Total	Failure rate	statusReason
Last 30 days	209 / 540	38.7%	`OAuth callback failed during token exchange`

209 user-facing failures over 30 days — the highest absolute count among Mercury OAuth2 apps with PKCE on. The failure stage matches exactly where PKCE breakage manifests.

Reproduction (verify the bug BEFORE merging)

Open the Composio staging dashboard: https://staging-app.composio.dev.
Sign in with a staging account.
Navigate to Apps (or Integrations) → search for Gumroad. Click the toolkit.
Click "Create connected account" (or "Connect") on the OAuth2 auth scheme. You'll be redirected to https://gumroad.com/oauth/authorize.
Log in to Gumroad with any test account and click Authorize.
Gumroad will redirect back to https://staging-app.composio.dev/redirect?....
Expected before this PR ships: the redirect URL contains status=failed&error=Failed+to+fetch+OAuth2+access+token%3A+Request+failed+with+status+code+400&appName=gumroad and the connected account in the dashboard shows status FAILED.
Expected after this PR ships to staging: redirect URL contains status=success&...&appName=gumroad and the connected account shows status ACTIVE. Run a quick action (e.g. fetching the current user via Gumroad's /v2/user endpoint) to confirm the access token works.

Test plan

CI passes (note: the skip:gumroad label intentionally bypasses ci_checks/check_config_breaking_changes.py::PKCE_DISABLED because PKCE-disabling is the whole point of this fix; the guardrail's purpose is preventing accidental security regressions, which doesn't apply to a server that doesn't support PKCE)
Reproduce the 400 redirect on staging before the staging deploy (step 7 above)
After staging deploy, redo the flow and confirm status=success (step 8)
Re-query app_db.apollo_connected_accounts for toolkit_slug='gumroad' over the next 7 days to confirm failure rate drops to baseline (<5%)

Added the skip:gumroad label to bypass ci_checks/check_config_breaking_changes.py::PKCE_DISABLED.

Justification: Gumroad's OAuth2 server does not support PKCE — keeping the param injection on causes the very 400 this PR is fixing (209 user-facing failures in the last 30 days). Disabling PKCE here doesn't weaken security in practice because the Composio backend is server-side and the client_secret stays confidential; PKCE's threat model targets public/native clients where the secret can be extracted.

The skip is scoped to the gumroad app only (via SKIP_PATHS=gumroad derived from the PR label per .github/workflows/common.yaml:135-153). The breaking-change guardrail remains intact for every other toolkit.

Testing status — needs full consent flow before merging

What's been done

Deployed to staging via tools_registry_staging_force.yaml (run 25676912488) targeting apps/gumroad from this branch — completed successfully.

Pre-deploy URL inspection: initiating an OAuth connection on staging produced this authorize redirect:

https://gumroad.com/oauth/login?next=%2Foauth%2Fauthorize%3F…%26code_challenge%3D01uO-q_UJeBNdl8Q7eSBg6YxHAb7Bs47KjNs8Fqk6hI%26code_challenge_method%3DS256

Post-deploy URL inspection: the same flow now produces:

https://gumroad.com/oauth/login?next=%2Foauth%2Fauthorize%3F…&state=staging_ID%3Ae0s4nOKsDX8g_apollo

No code_challenge / code_challenge_method.

Observation

Apollo correctly stops injecting PKCE params into the authorize URL after this PR is deployed. That's the change this PR was supposed to produce; mechanically the fix works.

What's NOT yet tested

❌ End-to-end consent flow has not been completed. We've only confirmed the authorize URL changed. The token-exchange step (where the original 400 actually happens) has not been exercised on staging.
