Draft ${id} was not found in ${draftType} drafts. Run opencl

Error message

Draft ${id} was not found in ${draftType} drafts. Run opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type ${draftType} to list current ids.

What it means

draftNotFound is thrown when the requested draft id does not exist among the entries read from the Xiaohongshu draft database for the given draft type. The command aborts before any delete, and the message points to the drafts listing command to discover valid ids.

Solutions

1. Run 'opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type <type>' to list current ids and copy the correct one
2. Confirm the --type matches the draft kind the id belongs to
3. Check the draft wasn't already deleted (list first)
4. Verify id normalization — pass the id exactly as listed

Example fix

// before
opencli xiaohongshu draft-delete --id draft_999 --type note
// after: list to get a valid id first
opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type note
opencli xiaohongshu draft-delete --id <validId> --type note --execute

const drafts = await opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type type;
if (!drafts.some(d => d.id === targetId)) throw new Error(`Draft ${targetId} not found in ${type} drafts`);

function draftExists(drafts, id) { return Array.isArray(drafts) && drafts.some(d => d && d.id === id); }

try {
  await opencli xiaohongshu draft-delete --id id --type type --execute;
} catch (e) {
  if (/was not found in .* drafts/.test(e.message)) {
    const list = await opencli xiaohongshu drafts --type type;
    // pick a valid id from list and retry, or surface to the user
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the xiaohongshu draft-delete command (clis/xiaohongshu/draft-delete.js) with an --id that is absent from readDraftEntries results for the given --type.

Common situations: Stale/hardcoded id after the draft was already deleted; wrong --type so the id is looked up in the wrong draft collection; typo'd or un-normalized id; draft db page not in sync.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
