Twitter profile response for @${screenName} is missing profi

Error message

Twitter profile response for @${screenName} is missing profile identity fields

What it means

CommandExecutionError thrown by mapTwitterProfileResult when the response has legacy/core objects but none of the identity fields (screen_name, name, created_at) are present in either — the payload is structurally recognizable but carries no usable identity data.

Solutions

1. Refresh the session and retry — cached partial payloads can resolve on a fresh request
2. Check whether the account is withheld/restricted in your region
3. Dump the raw response in the browser (or via a debug flag) to see where identity fields moved
4. If identity fields relocated to a new container, update mapTwitterProfileResult to read them

function hasIdentityFields(core, legacy) {
  const s = (v) => typeof v === 'string' && v.length > 0;
  return [core?.screen_name, legacy?.screen_name, core?.name,
          legacy?.name, core?.created_at, legacy?.created_at].some(s);
}

try {
  const profile = await opencli('twitter profile', { username });
} catch (e) {
  if (e.name === 'CommandExecutionError' && /missing profile identity fields/.test(e.message)) {
    console.warn('Payload had legacy/core but no identity data — likely restricted/withheld account');
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: result.legacy and result.core both exist but every one of core.screen_name, legacy.screen_name, core.name, legacy.name, core.created_at, legacy.created_at is absent/not a string — e.g. a truncated or redacted user object, or X moved identity fields elsewhere.

Common situations: X adding a new container and emptying legacy/core; country-withheld or restricted accounts returning stripped objects; caching layers returning partial payloads; pagination/selection grabbing the wrong object.
