The "dvorak" command is a "specialCommand" used to solve the tile puzzle in the Hidden Temple. (It's called that for historical reasons; even though the puzzle is now the second of three scripted steps and is called "Beginning at the Beginning of Beginning", back when it was a random encounter, it was called "Dvorak's Revenge".)
The "Solve" button that we provide for this puzzle submits this URL: "/KoLmafia/specialCommand?cmd=dvorak&pwd=xxx".
The RelayRequest treats a "specialCommand" as sort of like an internal relay script: it calls a CLI command (by submitting it to the Command Queue) which submits an arbitrary series of requests.
While it is executing, it will periodically refresh the browser window with a page that says "Automating (see CLI for details, click to refresh)..."
When the command is done, it sets up RelayRequest.specialCommandResponse with the response text that will be sent down to the browser.
Meanwhile, the browser is periodically refreshing with "/KoLmafia/specialCommand?cmd=wait&pwd=xxx". When that is submitted and the Command Queue is empty, it sents down RelayRequest.specialCommandResponse. If the command did not set up a response, it loads a page that simply says "Automation complete.".
This used to work flawlessly; we'd see the "Automating" page, and when the dvorak puzzle was complete, we'd see the next page, "No Visible Means of Support", complete with the comment "You jump to the last letter, and put your pom-poms down with a sigh of relief -- thank goodness that's over. ".
I just ran this today, and when it was done, KoLmafia showed me a page that said "Automation complete.)" I was running with debugging, and I see the following:

What's that spell? BANANAS!

Sure enough, the gCLI and session log showed the expected:

That is not new. What IS new is that specialCommandResponse was, apparently, "" when it came time to respond to the "wait" command.

What does the solver do?
Code:
KoLmafia.updateDisplay( "Tile puzzle completed." );
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer( request.responseText );
RequestEditorKit.getFeatureRichHTML( request.getURLString(), buffer );
RelayRequest.specialCommandResponse = buffer.toString();
RelayRequest.specialCommandIsAdventure = true;
DvorakDecorator.lastResponse = null;
