Error message

xiaohongshu/follow: expected Xiaohongshu profile host, got ${parsedHref.hostname}

What it means

After navigation the command asserts the browser actually landed on a https://*.xiaohongshu.com profile page; if the final URL's scheme or host differs, CommandExecutionError names the offending hostname. This catches redirects off-domain (security check: never act on a page that isn't Xiaohongshu).

Solutions

1. Open the profile URL manually in the connected browser and complete any verification/captcha, then re-run.
2. Check the network for DNS/proxy hijacking; try a trusted network or VPN.
3. Clear site cookies for xiaohongshu.com and log in fresh, then retry the follow command.
4. If a legitimate new host pattern is being rejected, update isXiaohongshuHost in clis/xiaohongshu/follow.js.

Example fix

null

try {
  await follow(page, userId);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.code === 'COMMAND_EXEC' && err.message.includes('expected Xiaohongshu profile host')) {
    // a redirect took the tab off-domain: complete any human verification, then retry
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Xiaohongshu redirected the tab to a different domain (anti-bot gateway, regional mirror, telecom hijack page, or an error page on another host), or an http:// final URL after a redirect chain.

Common situations: Aggressive bot detection bouncing to a verification page on another host; DNS hijacking on untrusted networks; expired session landing on an SSO/redirector; corporate proxy rewriting URLs.
