[Self-hosted] Auto-activate members doesn't work in latest/24.10.1

[nikosatwork]

Describe the bug

• Auto-activate members doesn't work in latest/24.10.1/24.11.1

Users will automatically be assigned a Codecov seat if they 1) author a pull request on a private repo, or 2) log in to a private repo and if there are seats available in the subscription.

Note: We have 2 active users of 500 available seats

Possibly related to https://github.com/codecov/feedback/issues/536 and https://github.com/codecov/feedback/issues/523

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Browser Any
• System: local machine
• Codecov Version: 24.10.1, 24.11.1

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'User Settings'
2. Set 'Activation Status' to false / uncheck
3. Go to a private repository
4. Get "Unauthorized. Activation is required to view this repo, please click here to activate your account."

Expected behavior

Activate the seat and land on a working repo page

Screenshots

Additional context

This is urgent as we have been trying to resolve this "mutating" issue since https://github.com/codecov/feedback/issues/523

Thank you 🙏

The above workflow is true if guest_access: true

If guest_access: false then we can't even login at codecov home page as it keeps looping to itself

Will start downgrading the codecov version to try to find the regression

• I think it is related to adding license logging back to startup perhaps

• Downgraded to v24.8.1 and get the All Seats Taken even from seat 1, so that must have been broken before v24.7.1 I assume - Both with guest_access: true and with guest_access: false

• Downgraded to v24.6.1/12 and still getting the All Seats Taken issue - Both with guest_access: true and with guest_access: false

Likely related to #536 and this stems from issues with guest access breaking auto activate. Assigning to @RulaKhaled as this ticket and #536 likely share the same root cause.

I wanted to add that when a new user signs in with 'Login via GitHub Enterprise', they do not get their seat auto-activated either.

Hi team. Is there an update on this issue? Thank you 🙏

Hey @nikosatwork, I've divided this work into two key tasks:

• Ensuring that we deliver more meaningful and precise error messages. PR can be found here https://github.com/codecov/gazebo/pull/3523
• Conducting a thorough investigation into auto-activation. This may take additional time, I’ll ensure to keep you informed on the progress

[RulaKhaled]

@nikosatwork Quick update: This PR should fix auto-activation. Once both PRs are merged, I'll check in with you to confirm it works as expected

Awesome! ❤
