Error message

invalid_orca_profile_project_path

What it means

Thrown by findProjectsByPathArgsFromUnknown() (line 92) when the payload for orcaProfiles:findProjectProfiles is not an object. This is the shape branch; content checks (path emptiness, executionHostId type/normalization) are separate throws on lines 97, 102, and 106. It runs before findOrcaProfileProjectsByPath, so malformed input never reaches the project-presence lookup.

Solutions

1. Pass an object literal with at least { path } as the second IPC argument.
2. Construct the payload from a trimmed workspace/folder path, sourcing executionHostId only when an SSH/folder host context exists.
3. If the lookup is optional in the flow, guard the call on the path being present rather than passing undefined.
4. Keep connectionId / excludeProfileId optional — omit them rather than passing empty strings if unused.

Example fix

// before
await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:findProjectProfiles', workspacePath)

// after
await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:findProjectProfiles', { path: workspacePath })

function isFindProjectsArgs(v: unknown): v is { path: unknown } {
  return typeof v === 'object' && v !== null && 'path' in v
}

if (!isFindProjectsArgs(payload)) return

function isFindProjectsByPathArgsShape(v: unknown): v is { path: unknown; executionHostId?: unknown } {
  return typeof v === 'object' && v !== null && 'path' in v
}

try {
  await ipcRenderer.invoke('orcaProfiles:findProjectProfiles', payload)
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'invalid_orca_profile_project_path') {
    setScanError('Provide a workspace path to scan.')
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking orcaProfiles:findProjectProfiles with undefined, null, a primitive, or a non-object value as the sole argument.

Common situations: The presence check is dispatched from a context-menu or watcher with no args bound, or a refactor moved the path into a nested object without updating the call site.
