Unexpected Gemini probe: ${JSON.stringify(probe)}

Error message

Unexpected Gemini probe: ${JSON.stringify(probe)}

What it means

A CommandExecutionError thrown when the in-page identity probe returns neither ok:true nor kind:'auth' — an unexpected/undefined probe result. This guards against silent failures of the page.evaluate bridge (e.g. null result, selector not found path not returning kind:'auth').

Solutions

1. Re-run `opencli gemini login` and retry the command
2. Inspect the automation browser's gemini.google.com/app DOM for `a[aria-label^="Google Account:"]` and update the probe in clis/gemini/auth.js
3. Check the browser bridge is healthy (no CDP disconnects) and re-run
4. Log the raw probe value at auth.js:31 to see the actual unexpected shape before fixing

Example fix

// before
if (!probe?.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError(`Unexpected Gemini probe: ${JSON.stringify(probe)}`);
// after
if (!probe) throw new AuthRequiredError('gemini.google.com', 'Probe returned no result — session likely missing');
if (!probe.ok) throw new CommandExecutionError(`Unexpected Gemini probe: ${JSON.stringify(probe)}`);

const probe = await page.evaluate(probeScript);
if (!probe || typeof probe !== 'object') {
  throw new AuthRequiredError('gemini.google.com', 'No probe result — session missing');
}

function isWellFormedProbe(p) {
  return !!p && typeof p === 'object' &&
    (p.ok === true || (p.kind === 'auth' && typeof p.detail === 'string'));
}

try {
  const identity = await getGeminiIdentity();
} catch (e) {
  if (/Unexpected Gemini probe/.test(e.message)) {
    // inspect e.message JSON, then re-login or update the probe script
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: `probe` is null/undefined or an object without ok/kind flags after `page.evaluate(...)` in verifyGeminiIdentity (auth.js:31).

Common situations: No Google Account anchor found AND probe returned undefined (selector path missing); browser bridge failed to serialize the evaluate result; Gemini DOM restructured so the probe's return shape changed.
