Switchover to main branch does not work on authenticated sites

[trieloff]

Hi, I'm getting a 404 when spinning up my local instance. This is happening when I'm on a local github branch that hasn't been push up to remote. Previously when it was working, I'd get a message that said it was unable to verify the feature branch and was falling back to main:

warn: Unable to verify methomas-aa-sandbox branch on https://methomas-aa-sandbox--bacom--adobecom.hlx.page/fstab.yaml (401). Fallback to main branch.

Now, it's not falling back to main, and it's trying to get content from the feature branch:

warn: Unable to verify methomas-aa-sandbox branch via https://methomas-aa-sandbox--bacom--adobecom.hlx.page/fstab.yaml for authenticated sites.
info: Starting AEM dev server v16.1.5
info: Local AEM dev server up and running: http://localhost:3000/
info: Enabled reverse proxy to https://methomas-aa-sandbox--bacom--adobecom.hlx.page
opening default browser: http://localhost:3000/
warn: [0] Proxy GET request to https://methomas-aa-sandbox--bacom--adobecom.hlx.page/: 404 (text/html; charset=utf-8)

Also, it seems like this might only be an issue on authenticated sites because a different unauthenticated site was working fine.

For now, I reverted to aem-cli v16.0.2 where it's working. Do you know what's going on here?

we removed the fallback. because it was wrong for authenticated sites to fallback to main.
as a workaround you can use —url to specify the main branch
