Solutions

1. Re-login to WeChat and confirm the article editor fully loads (title textarea visible) before uploading images.
2. Check whether WeChat changed the insert-image button id and update the #js_editor_insertimage selector.
3. Add a retry/wait that polls for the button for several seconds before failing.
4. Dismiss any open modals/dialogs on the editor page before invoking the command.

Example fix

// before
var button = document.querySelector('#js_editor_insertimage');
if (!button) return { ok: false, reason: 'insert-image button not found' };
// after
var button = document.querySelector('#js_editor_insertimage, [data-role="insertimage"], .js_insertimage');
if (!button) return { ok: false, reason: 'insert-image button not found' };
button.scrollIntoView();
button.click();

await page.wait(4);
const editorReady = await evaluate(page, '!!document.querySelector("textarea#title") && !!document.querySelector("#js_editor_insertimage")');
if (editorReady !== true) throw new Error('editor toolbar not ready — cannot upload images');

function isInsertResult(v) { return typeof v === 'object' && v !== null && typeof v.ok === 'boolean' && typeof v.reason === 'string'; }

try {
    await createDraftCommand(opts);
} catch (e) {
    if (/Could not open WeChat image upload/i.test(e.message)) {
        console.error('insert-image button unavailable:', e.message);
        // re-login or update selector, then retry once
    }
    throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The editor toolbar is not rendered (session expired or editor didn't finish loading), WeChat renamed/removed the #js_editor_insertimage element in a front-end update, the page is showing a modal or alert that blocks the toolbar, or evaluate ran on the wrong page/frame.

Common situations: WeChat editor UI updates changing toolbar ids; command invoked on a half-loaded page; expired session landing on a login-interstitial that lacks the toolbar; headless rendering skipping toolbar initialization.
