Is this the thing that started prompting me to approve curls against JIRA because the Authorization header is `my_email@domain:$API_KEY_ENV_VAR`? Why does it not respect --dangerously-skip-permissions?

Ugh. I know there are other ways to get Jira API keys, but I wish they made one that was as easy and straightforward to set up as the kind you're talking about.

(No, I don't want to make a real "App" to sell on a "Marketplace," or be involved with oAuth, or any other tenant. I just want an API key for my own tenant, that isn't specifically tied to me, so every automation I build won't break when I quit someday.)

I recently discovered service accounts do exist. Though it might be on the Atlassian level, not Jira specifically.

same experience. brilliant when you leave it to work, come back an hour later and it's been sat at a prompt trying to read a jira ticket.
