Please also note that I was able to reproduce this multiple times yesterday and once today. But just prior to writing this bug report just to double check my steps, it seemed I couldn’t reproduce this issue and now I am logged in with the GitHub account. I am sure I didn’t do any other steps than before and I did see this error on multiple occasions, so I am confident that there is some issue.
Please let me know if you need any other details.

Sadly no. Output is purged when you start a new session.
I had this issue as well. I was able to resolve it by granting full disk access to the terminal app.
