Unexpected Claude probe: ${JSON.stringify(result)}

Error message

Unexpected Claude probe: ${JSON.stringify(result)}

What it means

This CommandExecutionError fires when verifyClaudeIdentity receives a probe result that is neither ok nor one of the recognized kinds (auth/http/exception) — e.g. result is undefined/null, came back from a page that navigated away, or the evaluate returned an unexpected shape. The full result is serialized into the message for debugging. It guards against silently accepting a bogus verification outcome.

Solutions

1. Inspect the JSON in the message — null/undefined usually means the page navigated away or the browser context died
2. Re-run the command; transient navigation races often resolve on a second attempt
3. Re-run `opencli claude auth` to do a fresh login + verification on a stable page
4. Check for a forced logout or redirect loop on claude.ai (e.g. SSO session expiry) and log in manually once
5. Update the browser automation dependency and the library to compatible versions

Example fix

// before
// tab closed during probe -> Unexpected Claude probe: undefined
// after
opencli claude auth   // fresh login, then verify on a stable page
opencli claude whoami

null

function isUsableProbeResult(result) {
  return !!result && typeof result === 'object' && ['auth','http','exception'].includes(result.kind) || (result && result.ok === true);
}

try {
  const identity = await verifyClaudeIdentity(page);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message.startsWith('Unexpected Claude probe:')) {
    // page likely navigated or evaluate returned null — reload and retry once
    await page.goto('https://claude.ai/');
    return verifyClaudeIdentity(page);
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: page.evaluate returns undefined because the page navigated or was closed mid-probe; the browser context was destroyed before the async IIFE resolved; a driver/browser-version mismatch causing evaluate to return null; a non-standard result object from an incompatible page state.

Common situations: Browser tab closed or page redirected during the 2-second wait; automation driver (e.g. Playwright/puppeteer-core) version mismatch returning null from evaluate; Claude page reloading due to an error or forced logout during verification.
