Error message

HTTP ${probe.httpStatus} from Manus /api/auth/session

What it means

When the identity probe gets a non-OK, non-auth HTTP status from /api/auth/session (e.g. 500, 502, 504, 429), it returns kind:'http' and this line throws a CommandExecutionError reporting the status code. Unlike AuthRequiredError, this signals a server/network problem rather than missing credentials.

Solutions

1. Wait a few minutes and retry — most 5xx are transient server-side outages.
2. Check Manus status/announcements for an ongoing incident.
3. If 429, back off and reduce polling frequency of auth checks.
4. Test https://manus.im in a normal browser to see if the site itself is up.
5. If behind a corporate proxy/firewall, verify it isn't intercepting or blocking manus.im API calls.

Example fix

// before: tight poll loop trips rate limiting
for (;;) { await verifyManusIdentity(page); }
// after: back off on HTTP errors
for (;;) {
  try { return await verifyManusIdentity(page); }
  catch (e) { if (!/HTTP \d+ from Manus/.test(e.message)) throw e; await sleep(30000); }
}

// pre-flight: is manus.im reachable?
const res = await fetch('https://manus.im/').catch(() => null);
if (!res || !res.ok) throw new Error('manus.im unreachable — retry later');

function isServerError(probe) { return probe?.kind === 'http' && probe.httpStatus >= 500; }

const retry = async (fn, n = 3) => {
  for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    try { return await fn(); }
    catch (e) {
      if (/HTTP \d+ from Manus \/api\/auth\/session/.test(e.message) && i < n - 1) {
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5000 * (i + 1))); continue;
      }
      throw e;
    }
  }
};

When it happens

Trigger: Manus's /api/auth/session returns 5xx during outages or deployments, 429 under rate limiting, or any other non-2xx/non-401/non-403/non-503 status; occurs during manus whoami/auth verify or any command that calls verifyManusIdentity (including the login poll).

Common situations: Manus server incident or maintenance window; rate limiting from too-frequent CLI polling; corporate proxy/WAF intercepting requests; transient network errors between browser and manus.im.
