N/A

Describe the issue:

When an assistant signin error occurs, it shows an error toast pop-up. A user has to manually dismiss the toast. I would be nice if it timed out and auto-dismissed.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Enable assistant
2. Attempt to sign in with bad api key to Anthropic

This dialog never goes away without user intervention

Expected or desired behavior:

A timeout to auto dismiss the dialog

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

The more I think about it, not sure if any of our toast message auto dismiss... but it would be nice if ones like this did. Especially since the sign in modal itself already shows an error message, so the toast is redundant.

I am pretty confident that at least some of them do auto dismiss based on having worked on automation that was trying to "dismiss all" the toasts.

Moving to triage.
