invalid_orca_profile_id

Error message

invalid_orca_profile_id

What it means

Thrown by profileIdFromArgs() in orca-profiles.ts (line 61) when the payload for orcaProfiles:switch is not an object, or its profileId field is not a string at all. This is the type-shape branch; the empty-string branch is a separate throw on line 65. The guard runs before any profile lookup, session mutation, or relaunch scheduling, so an invalid id never reaches setActiveOrcaProfile.

Solutions

1. Always pass an object with a string profileId, sourcing it from the list returned by orcaProfiles:list.
2. If you only have a profile object, pass { profileId: profile.id }, not the object itself.
3. Guard in the renderer: skip the call entirely when profileId is not a non-empty string.
4. Keep the IPC payload key as 'profileId' — do not rename it without a coordinated main+renderer change.

Example fix

// before
await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:switch', selectedProfile)

// after
if (typeof selectedProfile?.id !== 'string' || !selectedProfile.id.trim()) return
await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:switch', { profileId: selectedProfile.id })

function isSwitchArgs(v: unknown): v is { profileId: string } {
  return (
    typeof v === 'object' &&
    v !== null &&
    typeof (v as { profileId?: unknown }).profileId === 'string'
  )
}

if (!isSwitchArgs(payload)) return

function isSwitchOrcaProfileArgs(v: unknown): v is { profileId: string } {
  return (
    !!v &&
    typeof v === 'object' &&
    typeof (v as { profileId?: unknown }).profileId === 'string'
  )
}

try {
  await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:switch', { profileId })
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'invalid_orca_profile_id') {
    setProfileError('Select a profile to switch to.')
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking orcaProfiles:switch with undefined args, a primitive, or a payload whose profileId is null/number/object rather than a string.

Common situations: The renderer called switch with no argument, a profile object was passed instead of profile.id, or a refactor changed the payload key from profileId to id without updating the call sites.
