AUTH_REQUIRED

Error message

Yuanbao opened a login gate before sending the prompt.

What it means

The `yuanbao send` command checks hasLoginGate(page) after ensuring the Yuanbao page is loaded, before attempting to send the prompt. If the login gate is visible, the command throws AUTH_REQUIRED because the prompt cannot reach an unauthenticated chat UI.

Solutions

  1. Authenticate in the automation browser profile and rerun the send command.
  2. Persist cookies via a dedicated user data dir so authentication survives restarts.
  3. Add a pre-flight login-gate check in your script and trigger interactive login before sending.
  4. Confirm you are not pointing the daemon at the wrong (unauthenticated) browser context.

Example fix

// before
await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', 'hi']);
// after
try {
  await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', 'hi']);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.code === 'AUTH_REQUIRED') { await loginToYuanbao(page); await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', 'hi']); }
  else throw e;
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

await ensureYuanbaoPage(page);
if (await hasLoginGate(page)) {
  throw new Error('Login required: authenticate before sending');
}
await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', prompt]);

Try / catch

try {
  await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', prompt]);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.code === 'AUTH_REQUIRED') { await loginToYuanbao(page); await cli.run(['yuanbao', 'send', '--prompt', prompt]); }
  else throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `yuanbao send --prompt "..."` (with or without --new) when the loaded Yuanbao page shows the login gate; also reachable via the follow-up check when startNewYuanbaoChat returns 'blocked'.

Common situations: Session cookies expired between runs, running inside CI with a browser profile lacking login state, or Yuanbao forcing re-login after policy/security changes.
