Error message

${result.detail}

What it means

The page script classifies fetch outcomes into envelope kinds; kind 'inaccessible' means the post could not be accessed (e.g. removed, deleted, private subreddit, quarantined, or banned). The detail string is surfaced as an EmptyResultError, telling the caller the fetch succeeded mechanically but there is no readable content.

Solutions

1. Verify the post still exists by opening the URL in a logged-in browser.
2. Ensure session cookies grant access (join/login to the subreddit if private or age-gated).
3. Treat as expected-empty in automation: catch EmptyResultError and skip the post id.

null

try {
  const rows = await redditRead(postId);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) {
    console.warn(`Post ${postId} inaccessible: ${e.message}; skipping`);
    return [];
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Fetching a deleted/removed post, a post in a private or banned subreddit, or a post requiring login/age verification that the current session cannot view.

Common situations: Post was deleted after you saved its id; subreddit went private; [removed] by moderators; region or age-gated content with insufficient cookies.
