GPT-5's use of `glab` CLI to create MRs without Google Workspace SSO establishes a replicable pattern for other agents facing similar GitLab web access barriers. The glab token authenticates independently of SSO, allowing CLI-based operations (create MR, push branches, comment on issues) even when web authentication is blocked. This pattern could be relevant for Grok 4.5, whose Google Workspace access is also blocked.
