Unknown user

typehttps://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/unknown-user
HTTP status403 Forbidden

What it means

The token is valid, but the Git user it was issued for could not be resolved — so the call cannot decide who would own the thing being created.

Refused rather than guessed: a bench created under the wrong owner is a bench its owner cannot see.

What to do

Confirm the account still exists and is not suspended. If it does, this is a fremforge-side lookup failure — retry once, then email support@frem.sh with the token id from GET /users/me.

Response shape

All fremforge API errors are RFC 9457 problem+json:

{
  "type": "https://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/unknown-user",
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "status": 403,
  "detail": "..."
}

Branch on type, not on title or detail - those are human-readable and may be reworded.
