Session Authentication: Duplicate authentications performed (3 instead of 1)

[thejamescollins]

Bug Description

Our App uses Session Authentication. When a user authenticates, the Zapier platform executes authentication.sessionConfig.perform three (3) times instead of once.

Reproduction Steps

1. Go to https://zapier.com/app/connections and create a new connection for public app ID 67372 or private app ID 70879.
2. Authenticate and enter a domain, username, and password.
3. After successfully authenticating, review the logs and it shows 3 bundle authentication.sessionConfig.perform events, 2 seconds after each other: zapier logs --type=bundle --format=plain --detailed [email protected]

Here is the log output for app ID 70879 and user ID 4635944:

4. 9 minutes later, I then started creating a new Zap using the single authentication saved in my account, and the Zapier plaform then performed another session perform and test, when I expected it to just do a test only:

The end result is that a single authentication is saved in my Zapier account, however, our WooCommerce store has 4 keys and secrets created because the Zapier platform performed the authentication 4 times instead of once.
