Kimi message submission was not verified

Error message

Kimi message submission was not verified

What it means

After typing and clicking Send, sendKimiMessage polls for ~3s for a new user turn whose text contains the submitted prompt. If verification never succeeds, this CommandExecutionError is thrown with the note that injection and click happened but no matching new turn appeared.

Solutions

1. Retry the send — transient latency can exceed the 3s verification window.
2. Call kimi read after a longer wait to check whether the message actually posted despite failed verification.
3. Send shorter/simpler text to rule out normalization mismatches.
4. Check for rate limits or moderation blocks in the Kimi UI; extend the verification deadline if latency is consistently high.

Example fix

// before
await cli('kimi', 'send', { text: longMarkdown });
// after
try {
  await cli('kimi', 'send', { text: longMarkdown });
} catch (e) {
  await page.wait(3); // allow delayed round-trip
  await cli('kimi', 'read'); // confirm whether it actually posted
}

function submissionVerified(result) { return result && typeof result.prompt === 'string'; }

try {
  await cli('kimi', 'send', { text });
} catch (e) {
  if (/not verified/i.test(e.message)) {
    await page.wait(3);
    const turns = await cli('kimi', 'read', { conv });
    const posted = turns.some(t => t.Role === 'User' && t.Text.includes(text.slice(0, 50)));
    if (!posted) throw e; // genuinely failed; optionally re-send
    return; // posted, verification just missed it
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Send click was a no-op (button disabled), the message text was normalized differently than the DOM renders it (whitespace/nbsp differences beyond the normalizer), a slow/network-delayed round-trip exceeding the 3s deadline, or Kimi rejected the submission (quota/moderation).

Common situations: Sending long or heavily formatted text where the rendered turn truncates differently; rate limiting silently blocking the message; flaky network causing >3s latency; Kimi UI change to user-turn class names breaking the matcher.
