Error message

response.msg

What it means

In transaction.ts, the CancelListRecursively path queries /api/block/getBlockRelevantIDs to locate the previous block. A non-zero kernel response code causes the server's msg string to be thrown as an Error. This aborts the transaction preparation because the required previousID could not be resolved.

Solutions

1. Refresh the editor DOM before the transaction so data-node-id is current
2. Check the block exists via /api/block/getBlockInfo first and skip the operation if missing
3. Catch the error, show a message, and re-open the document
4. Retry after sync completes if concurrent modification caused the miss

Example fix

// before
await cancelListRecursively(protyle, nodeElement, options);
// after
try {
    await cancelListRecursively(protyle, nodeElement, options);
} catch (e) {
    showMessage(e.message);
    reloadProtyle(protyle);
}

const check = await fetchSyncPost("/api/block/getBlockInfo", {id: nodeElement.getAttribute("data-node-id")});
if (check.code !== 0) return; // skip: block no longer exists

try { await prepareCancelListRecursively(...); } catch (e) { showMessage(e.message); reloadProtyle(protyle); }

When it happens

Trigger: Executing a CancelListRecursively transaction (app/src/protyle/wysiwyg/transaction.ts:2071) when previousBlockElement is missing and protyle.block.showAll is on, and the node's data-node-id fails lookup in the kernel (block deleted, ID stale, notebook mismatch).

Common situations: Cancelling a list after a concurrent edit removed it via sync; stale DOM after undo/redo; the notebook was closed or its ID changed while the editor still references blocks in it.
