Error message

${result.detail}

What it means

subscribed.js throws CommandExecutionError(result.detail) when the page.evaluate result carries kind 'malformed', meaning the Reddit API response could not be parsed as the expected JSON shape (e.g. HTML/login-wall text instead of JSON, or missing data field). The CLI forwards the browser-side parse detail verbatim. It signals the response body did not match the subscribed-list schema.

Solutions

1. Open reddit.com in the attached browser and confirm pages render normally (clears challenge/interstitial states).
2. Re-run the command once — transient proxy/CDN corruption is a common cause.
3. Log in / refresh the session if the malformed body is actually a login page.
4. Check network path (VPN, corporate proxy) that may inject or block content.

try {
  await run(['reddit', 'subscribed']);
} catch (e) {
  // 'malformed' detail indicates non-JSON response; log detail, retry once after browser check
  console.error('Reddit returned non-JSON:', e.message);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Reddit returns non-JSON (HTML error page, challenge page, empty body) to the in-page fetch; result = {kind:'malformed', detail:...} is converted at subscribed.js:151.

Common situations: Reddit serving an anti-bot HTML interstitial; being logged out mid-request so an HTML page is returned; Reddit CDN/proxy errors returning markup; blocked or unusual network (VPN) altering responses.
