Yuanbao opened a login gate before sending the prompt. ${SES

Error message

Yuanbao opened a login gate before sending the prompt. ${SESSION_HINT}

What it means

Before sending the prompt, the Yuanbao web page already shows a login gate (auth wall), so the CLI aborts with an AUTH_REQUIRED error rather than submitting a message that would fail. SESSION_HINT is appended to guide the user to fix their browser session.

Solutions

1. Open the browser profile used by the CLI and log into Yuanbao manually to refresh the session
2. Clear Yuanbao cookies and re-login so no stale gate-triggering cookies remain
3. Verify YUANBAO_URL points to the correct, non-login-redirecting host
4. Re-run the command immediately after login while the session cookie is fresh

Example fix

// before: assuming a session exists
await ensureYuanbaoPage(page);
await sendYuanbaoMessage(page, prompt);
// after: caller checks and re-authenticates on AUTH_REQUIRED
try {
  await yuanbaoAsk(prompt);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.code === 'AUTH_REQUIRED') { await yuanbaoLogin(); return yuanbaoAsk(prompt); }
  throw e;
}

import { hasLoginGate } from './yuanbao/page.js';
await ensureYuanbaoPage(page);
if (await hasLoginGate(page)) {
  await yuanbaoLogin(page); // re-auth before calling ask
}

async function isYuanbaoSessionValid(page) {
  return !(await hasLoginGate(page));
}

try {
  return await yuanbaoAsk(page, prompt);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.code === 'AUTH_REQUIRED') {
    await yuanbaoLogin(page);
    return yuanbaoAsk(page, prompt);
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the yuanbao ask command when ensureYuanbaoPage leaves the page in a logged-out state and hasLoginGate(page) returns true prior to sendYuanbaoMessage.

Common situations: Expired Yuanbao/tencent browser cookies; headless browser profile never logged in; Yuanbao forced re-login after policy change or long inactivity; incognito profile without persisted session.
