Commit Status Publisher Error with Bitbucket
Mikhail helped me out and I finally got to root cause. The root cause is me not understanding the screens.
The commit status publisher asks for a Bitbucket Username and Bitbucket App Password. I misinterpreted that to be my Atlassian username and Atlassian User Password.

I also misinterpreted what the password was. It's the string of characters generated in Bitbucket Profile that you have to keep secret, not the Atlassian login password.

SSo, ok. I'm a boomer. I admit my mistakes.

Hi James,
It looks like you’ve got the correct setup now!
By the way, the "Use VCS root credentials" option is specifically designed for VCS roots that authenticate using tokens (either static/personal or refreshable/OAuth). This allows repositories to be fetched over HTTP(S) without requiring a username and password.
You also can get the detailed information about how to configure Commit Status Publisher in our official document: Commit Status Publisher – Bitbucket Cloud.
Best Regards,
Tom
