fix: add helpful hint for SSL errors suggesting MULTICELL_ACCOUNT_PREFIX#581
Conversation
Users on multi-cell dbt platform instances who forget to set MULTICELL_ACCOUNT_PREFIX get cryptic SSL certificate errors. This adds a helpful hint pointing to the documentation when SSL errors are detected during: - OAuth token fetch/refresh - OAuth callback - Background token refresh The hint is centralized in errors/hints.py to avoid duplication.
