Conversation
A connection error, DNS failure or timeout says nothing about whether the caller's credentials are still good, but the authentication paths folded every transport failure into PyiCloudFailedLoginException. A consumer acting on that asks the user to re-enter working credentials in the middle of an outage, and one that stops polling until they do stays down long after iCloud has come back. Raise PyiCloudConnectionException when no response came back at all, and let it through the four authentication handlers rather than relabelling it. It subclasses PyiCloudAPIResponseException, so existing handlers keep catching it and the normalized transport-failure contract is unchanged; only callers that want to tell an outage from a rejected password need to know about it. Errors iCloud actually answered with, including the 421 and 500 codes Apple reuses for authentication, are unaffected and still surface as failed logins.

WalkthroughThe change adds a dedicated exception for connection failures without HTTP responses. Session requests raise it, and authentication flows re-raise it without converting it into credential, two-factor, or trust errors. Tests cover these paths and preserve rejected-token handling.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Transport outages now remain distinguishable from failed credentials, rejected tokens, incorrect two-factor codes, and refused session trust.

validate_2fa_code() and trust_session() turn a caught response error into a definitive answer for the user: that the code they typed was wrong, or that Apple refused to trust the session. A transport failure is not evidence for either, so let it through instead of reporting a verdict Apple never gave. The internal fallbacks are deliberately left alone. _try_reuse_cached_session() and _login_with_paused_token() return False to fall back to a full login, which hits the same outage and now raises from there, so nothing is swallowed. get_auth_status() reports status rather than deciding anything, and raising from it would change a query into a failure.

Proposed change
A connection error, DNS failure or timeout says nothing about whether the caller's credentials are still good, but the authentication paths in
base.pyfolded every transport failure intoPyiCloudFailedLoginException:PyiCloudSession._raise_request_exceptionnormalizes arequeststransport failure intoPyiCloudAPIResponseException("Request failed to iCloud"), so an unreachable iCloud reaches that handler and comes back out as a failed login.That matters because the two remedies are opposite. A rejected password is fixed by asking the user to log in again; an unreachable service is fixed by waiting and retrying. A consumer that cannot tell them apart asks the user to re-enter working credentials in the middle of an outage — and one that stops polling until they do stays down long after iCloud has come back. Home Assistant's iCloud integration hits exactly this.
This adds
PyiCloudConnectionException, raised when no response came back at all, and lets it through the four authentication handlers instead of relabelling it.It also lets it through the two calls that otherwise hand the user a verdict Apple never gave:
validate_2fa_code(), which returnedFalseand loggedCode verification failed.(Home Assistant surfaces that as "The code you entered is not valid."), andtrust_session(), which reported a refusal that never happened. The internal fallbacks are deliberately left returningFalse, since they fall back to a full login that hits the same outage and now raises from there.It subclasses
PyiCloudAPIResponseException, following the precedent set byPyiCloudEndpointGoneException, so:except PyiCloudAPIResponseExceptionkeeps catching ittest_request_raw_normalizes_transport_failureis unchanged, message includedErrors iCloud actually answered with are unaffected. In particular the 421 and 500 codes Apple reuses for authentication (
AppleAuthError.LOGIN_TOKEN_EXPIRED,AppleAuthError.GENERAL_AUTH_ERROR) still surface as failed logins, since those genuinely are authentication outcomes rather than transport problems.Type of change
Example of code:
Additional information
Five tests are added to
tests/test_base.py: that a transport failure during token authentication surfaces asPyiCloudConnectionException, that an error iCloud answered with is still aPyiCloudFailedLoginException, and that the new type is still aPyiCloudAPIResponseExceptioncarrying nocode. The first fails without the change, reportingPyiCloudFailedLoginException: ('Invalid authentication token.', PyiCloudConnectionException('Request failed to iCloud')).prek run --all-filesis green,mypy .reports no issues across 149 files, and the suite is at 938 passed.Checklist
