Error message

${probe.detail}

What it means

verifyBandIdentity() throws AuthRequiredError when the in-page probe reports kind='auth', propagating probe.detail as the message — meaning after navigating to band.us/feed the page redirected to a login/auth flow (e.g. location.href matched auth.band.us/login).

Solutions

  1. Re-run the band login/auth flow to refresh the session
  2. Clear band.us cookies and log in fresh if a stale cookie keeps causing redirects
  3. Read probe.detail (in the error message) for the specific auth failure reason

Example fix

// before
bandWhoami() // stale cookie -> redirect to auth.band.us/login
// after
await bandLogoutAndClearCookies();
await bandLogin();
await bandWhoami();
Defensive patterns

Strategy: fallback

Validate before calling

const resp = await fetch('https://www.band.us/feed', { redirect: 'manual' });
if (String(resp.status).startsWith('3') && String(resp.headers.get('location') || '').includes('auth.band.us')) {
  await runBandLogin();
}

Try / catch

try {
  await bandCommand(args);
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof AuthRequiredError && /auth\.band\.us|login/i.test(err.message)) {
    await clearBandCookies();
    await runBandLogin();
    return bandCommand(args);
  }
  throw err;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: band_session cookie exists but is stale/invalid so band.us redirects to auth.band.us/login; partial session where some cookies were cleared; SSO flow requiring re-consent.

Common situations: Expired session cookie that still exists; logging out in another tab; Band changing its auth redirect behavior.
