A few thoughts:
- This deep nesting makes it difficult to understand what the code is doing. It should be possible to rewrite as a single if/else or match statement by chaining methods (like map) onto the option (you may even be able to solve it only with method chaining, no if/else/match needed)
- Rather than making a new error with anyhow, we should call .with_context on the original error, so the original error is preserved. The context should be the main error message
- Also, where is the "Unsupported provider" message coming from? Is it getting returned by the server? The current implementation just checking that the error string contains this message seems a bit brittle to me, as it would break if the server changes the error message, or if another error includes this string. If the only indicator of this error is this message, however, I guess it is ok to check directly against it. Still, rather than just doing a simple string contains operation, we should downcast the error to the appropriate type and check the field where the message would be set.

This is a good point. I’ve updated the PR to pass the message directly from the server to the client. That should address 1 and 2.
Regarding 3: the error message is coming from the server here. getsentry/sentry@8a21a5a
Remove complex string matching logic and display error source directly. This shows the actual server error message (e.g., "Unsupported provider: xyz") instead of generic wrapper messages like "API request failed". 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Display file path on first line, then show Error and Cause on indented lines for better readability and clearer error context. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
