[cron:6dd85dd2-28ce-411f-b2de-8106e314da47 Deal Post - X + Pinterest (every 30 min)] SCHEDULED TASK: Post 1 deal to X and Pinterest.

## CRITICAL: Use the SAFE script (prevents $ shell expansion bugs)
```bash
cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/ghc-marketing
python3 scripts/post_deal_safe.py
```

This script:
- Uses pure Python (no shell $ variable expansion)
- Validates tweets before posting
- Posts to X via Maya VM twikit
- Posts to Pinterest via Maya VM py3-pinterest
- Records in posted_db

## If script fails
Check the error message and report back. DO NOT manually post using shell commands with $.

## If X cookies expired
Run: `ssh maya@maya "DISPLAY=:0 python3 /home/maya/workspace/scripts/extract_x_cookies.py"`
Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 5:27 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.

thinking:
This is a scheduled cron job to post 1 deal to X and Pinterest. The instructions are very clear:

1. Use the SAFE script to avoid shell expansion bugs
2. Run `python3 scripts/post_deal_safe.py` from the workspace
3. This handles everything: validation, X posting via Maya VM, Pinterest posting via Maya VM, and database recording

I should just execute the script and report the results. The script is designed to be fire-and-forget with built-in safety checks.

Let me run it now.

thinking: The script is running in the background. Let me poll it to see the results.

Process still running.


thinking: Still running. Let me wait a bit and check the log to see what's happening.

action: log


text: (no output yet)


thinking: The script is still running but hasn't produced output yet. This is normal - it needs to connect to the database, fetch a deal, validate it, then post to both X and Pinterest via SSH to Maya VM. Let me wait a bit longer and poll again.


thinking: Still running. Let me check the log again to see if there's any output now.


thinking: The script is taking longer than expected. Let me poll one more time to see if it completes.


thinking: This is taking a while. The script might be waiting for SSH connections or API responses. Let me check the full log one more time and if still nothing, I'll wait for it to complete.


thinking: Still running with no output. Let me check one more time then provide a status update.


thinking:
The script is still running after about 30 seconds. This could be normal if it's connecting to the database, fetching a deal, validating it, and posting to both platforms via SSH. But the lack of any output is concerning - the script should be printing status messages.

Let me wait a bit more and check if it completes.

Process still running.


thinking:
The script failed with an SCP timeout trying to transfer the image to Maya VM. This suggests a network connectivity issue between Fred and Maya. The script got through all the preparation steps (fetch, build, validate, download image) but failed when trying to copy the image to Maya via SCP.

This is a critical failure - the deal wasn't posted. I should kill the process and report the issue.

action: kill


text: Killed session quick-prairie.

status: failed


thinking: Now I should check if Maya is reachable and report the failure with next steps.

exec

command: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 maya@maya "hostname"


text: Command still running (session kind-lagoon, pid 956817). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

sessionId: kind-lagoon


thinking: SSH is also hanging. This confirms Maya VM is unreachable. Let me wait for this to timeout and then report.


text:
ssh: connect to host maya port 22: Connection timed out

Process exited with code 255.


thinking:
Confirmed - Maya VM is completely unreachable. This is a critical infrastructure failure. I need to report this to Chad immediately with:
1. What happened (deal posting failed)
2. Why (Maya VM unreachable via SSH)
3. What needs to be done (check Maya VM status, restart it if needed)
4. Which deal was attempted (34750)

text:
🚨 **DEAL POSTING FAILED**

**Status:** Maya VM is unreachable - SSH connection timed out

**What happened:**
- Script successfully fetched deal 34750 (INIU USB-C cables, $5.60)
- Built and validated tweet ✓
- Downloaded product image ✓
- **FAILED** when trying to transfer image to Maya VM via SCP (29-second timeout)
- SSH connectivity test to Maya also failed (connection refused)

**Deal that couldn't be posted:**
`$5.60* | 2-Pack 6.6' INIU 240W USB C to C Fast Charging Braided`

**Next steps needed:**
1. Check Maya VM status (is it running?)
2. Restart Maya VM if needed
3. Verify network/Tailscale connectivity between Fred ↔ Maya
4. Re-run deal posting once Maya is back online

The deal remains queued (ID 34750) and can be posted once Maya is accessible.
