[Feature Request] Add client-authority to config settings

[kevinawoo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

client-authority is not supported in the config, so I'm unable to use this value when supplying --profile flag.

This errors with:

$ temporal config set --profile prod -p client-authority -v my-client-authority
time=2026-04-29T13:56:24.639 level=ERROR msg="unknown property \"client-authority\""

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for client-authority in config

I found that ClientAuthority doesn't exist in ClientConfigProfile from the envconfig package. Would this feature require updating the envconfig package first, or is there another approach you had in mind?

Hey @NasitSony let me double check internally, I originally had a PR #1004, but we closed it to fix it slightly differently.

I'll get back to you with the exact fix.

[NasitSony]

Thanks Kevin, happy to wait for your guidance before proceeding.

yes this is the approach I had in mind.

Thanks for confirming. I'll submit a PR to the envconfig package first to add ClientAuthority to ClientConfigProfile, then update the CLI to use it. Does that sound right? @chaptersix

@NasitSony -- I saw and addressed --> temporalio/sdk-go#2369 based on temporalio/sdk-go#2369 issue.

After finishing, saw this was also related. Didn't mean to step on your work.

[NasitSony]

@brucearctor - No worries at all! Thanks for handling the sdk-go side. Once temporalio/sdk-go#2369 merges, I'll submit the CLI PR to wire it through. Happy to coordinate.

PR merged, new tag for the contrib/envconfig package cut with it included 👍

[NasitSony]

Thanks for the update @THardy98!
I'll submit the CLI PR to wire client-authority
through this afternoon.
