[Bug] Twitter reply fails; followers/following/notifications return empty #64

Description

Environment

  • Windows
  • Chrome 151
  • AutoCLI Chrome extension 1.5.6
  • Authenticated X/Twitter browser session
  • autocli doctor: Chrome, daemon, and extension all healthy

Most Twitter browser commands work normally in the same session.

Working commands

The following commands were tested successfully:

  • twitter timeline
  • twitter search
  • twitter thread
  • twitter trending
  • twitter profile
  • twitter post
  • twitter like
  • twitter follow
  • twitter unfollow
  • twitter bookmark
  • twitter bookmarks

For example, follow/unfollow changes are reflected immediately in the profile following count, and a newly bookmarked tweet can be read back successfully with twitter bookmarks.

Broken commands

twitter followers

The authenticated profile reports 6 followers, but:

twitter followers
[]

twitter following

The authenticated profile reports 6 following.

I also tested this state change:

  1. Unfollowed one account successfully.
  2. Profile following count changed from 6 to 5.
  3. Followed the account again successfully.
  4. Profile count returned to 6.

However:

twitter following
[]

So the account state and follow/unfollow actions are working, but the following-list reader returns an empty result.

twitter notifications

twitter notifications
[]

This returns empty even though the account has recent visible activity, including a public reply to one of its tweets.

The same reply is visible through twitter thread, so the browser session can read it successfully.

twitter reply

Replying to a normal tweet URL such as:

https://x.com/<user>/status/<tweet_id>

fails before the reply is posted.

Reading the same URL with twitter thread works normally.

Expected behavior

  • followers should return the visible follower list.
  • following should return the visible following list.
  • notifications should return recent visible notifications.
  • reply should successfully submit a reply to a valid tweet URL.

Notes

Because timeline, profile, search, thread, posting, likes, bookmarks, and follow/unfollow all work in the same authenticated browser session, this does not appear to be a general login, Chrome extension, or daemon connectivity issue.
