The search returned an empty array `[]`. This means no recent tweets were found that passed the filters (48 hours old, not bots, etc.).

This is a common issue with X/Twitter - either:
1. The login isn't working properly
2. There genuinely are no recent tweets matching the criteria
3. The page structure changed

Let me try a different approach - I'll create a simpler search script that's less strict on filtering, just to see if we can find ANY recent tweets at all.

The search returned no results. Let me try a broader search with less strict filtering:

write

#!/usr/bin/env node
import { chromium } from 'playwright-extra';
import stealthPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth';
chromium.use(stealthPlugin());

const PROFILE = '/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc';

const browser = await chromium.launchPersistentContext(PROFILE, {
  headless: true,
  viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 },
  args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled'],
});

const page = browser.pages()[0] || await browser.newPage();

console.error(`Searching: #budgettips`);

await page.goto(`https://x.com/search?q=%23budgettips&src=typed_query&f=live`, {
  waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded',
  timeout: 45000
});
await page.waitForTimeout(8000);

// Take screenshot for debugging
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/twitter-search.png' });

const tweets = await page.evaluate(() => {
  const articles = document.querySelectorAll('article[data-testid="tweet"]');
  const results = [];

  for (const article of articles) {
    try {
      const textEl = article.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetText"]');
      const timeEl = article.querySelector('time');
      const linkEl = article.querySelector('a[href*="/status/"]');
      const userEl = article.querySelector('[data-testid="User-Name"]');

      if (!textEl || !linkEl) continue;

      const text = textEl.innerText;
      const url = 'https://x.com' + linkEl.getAttribute('href').split('?')[0];
      const userText = userEl ? userEl.innerText : '';
      const time = timeEl ? timeEl.getAttribute('datetime') : 'unknown';

      results.push({ text: text.substring(0, 200), url, userText, time });
    } catch (e) {
      console.error('Error parsing tweet:', e.message);
    }
  }

  return results.slice(0, 10);
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(tweets, null, 2));
console.error(`Found ${tweets.length} tweets`);
await browser.close();

Now let me run this simpler script to see what we get.

exec

I need to run it from the social-poster directory where node_modules exists. Let me copy it there.

Searching: #budgettips
[]
Found 0 tweets


Still getting zero tweets. This suggests the GHC profile might not be properly logged in, or X is blocking the scraping. Let me check the screenshot to see what the page actually looks like.

There's a screenshot. Let me look at it to see what's actually on the page.

The page shows "Something went wrong. Try reloading." with a Retry button. This means X/Twitter is having issues or blocking the request. This is a common problem with Twitter - they aggressively block automated access, even with authenticated sessions.

Given the persistent failures across all methods (browser, web fetch, XCancel, and now even the authenticated Playwright scripts), I need to report back that the task cannot be completed today due to technical limitations.

The core issues are:
1. X/Twitter is blocking or failing to load search results
2. The GHC profile's authentication might have expired or been flagged
3. X has implemented more aggressive bot detection

I should document this issue and recommend solutions.

**❌ TASK FAILED - Twitter Access Issues**

I attempted multiple methods to find and reply to recent tweets but encountered persistent technical failures:

**What I tried:**
1. ✗ Browser automation (login walls)
2. ✗ XCancel privacy frontend (403 forbidden)
3. ✗ Web fetch (authentication required)
4. ✗ Authenticated Playwright search with GHC profile (page error: "Something went wrong. Try reloading")

**Root cause:** X/Twitter is either:
- Blocking automated access despite authentication
- Experiencing service issues
- Has flagged the GHC profile session

**Screenshot evidence:** The search page shows a "Something went wrong" error instead of tweets.

**Recommended fixes:**
1. **Re-authenticate GHC profile** - The session may have expired or been flagged
2. **Use Maya VM** - The twikit implementation on Maya VM might have better success
3. **Manual verification** - Chad should manually log into @GottaHaveCoups to verify the account status
4. **Rate limiting** - We may have hit API/scraping limits

**Logging to memory:**

## 09:30 - X Engagement Task Failed

**Cron job:** "X Engagement - Helpful Replies (5/day)" could not execute

**Issue:** Twitter/X blocking all access methods:
- Playwright with GHC profile returns "Something went wrong" error
- No tweets found in any hashtag search
- Authentication appears broken or rate-limited

**Actions needed:**
1. Re-authenticate @GottaHaveCoups account in GHC profile
2. Consider switching to Maya VM twikit for engagement
3. Verify account isn't shadowbanned or rate-limited

EOF


(no output)


I should provide a clear summary for the cron job reporting.

**Status:** Task could not be completed due to Twitter/X access failures. All search attempts (browser, XCancel, Playwright with GHC auth) returned errors or zero results. The GHC profile session may need re-authentication. Logged issue to memory/2026-02-16.md for Chad's review.
