[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 — 3:27 PM (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.

type: thinking

thinking:
This is a scheduled cron job that fires every 30 minutes to post a deal to X (Twitter) and Pinterest. The instructions are clear:

1. Use the safe script: `python3 scripts/post_deal_safe.py`
2. This prevents the shell variable expansion bug that was causing prices like `$5.69` to show as `.69`
3. Report results back

Let me execute the script and see what happens.

thinking: Still running. Let me check again in a moment.


thinking: The script is taking a while. Let me poll one more time to see if there's any output.


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


thinking: Still no output. The script is probably working on something. Let me wait and poll again.


thinking: This is taking longer than expected. Let me check one more time.

Process still running.


thinking: Ah, there's a timeout error. The SCP command to transfer the image to Maya VM timed out after 30 seconds. This could be a network issue between Fred and Maya VMs. Let me let the process finish (it might clean up) and then report the issue.

thinking: Still running, likely stuck on the timeout. Let me kill it and investigate.

action: kill


text: Killed session grand-pine.

status: failed


thinking: Now let me check connectivity to Maya VM and see if I can diagnose the issue.

exec

command: ping -c 2 maya


text: Command still running (session tidy-crest, pid 621769). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

sessionId: tidy-crest


thinking: Let me check that ping result.


text:
(no output recorded)

Process exited with signal SIGKILL.


thinking: Ping was killed. Let me try a quick SSH test to Maya.

command: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 maya@maya "echo 'Maya VM accessible'"


status: error

tool: exec

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

Command exited with code 255


thinking:
Connection timed out. Maya VM is not accessible from Fred right now. This explains the SCP timeout. I need to report this issue.

The deal was successfully selected:
- Deal ID: 34881
- Product: RUNmax RUNFast RM_20 Pro Weighted Vest, 20 lb
- Price: $19.60 (was $38.84) — 49% OFF
- Score: 52/100

But posting failed due to Maya VM connectivity issues. I should report this clearly.

text:
**⚠ POSTING FAILED - Maya VM Unreachable**

**Deal Selected:**
- **Product:** RUNmax RUNFast RM_20 Pro Weighted Vest, 20 lb
- **Price:** $19.60 (was $38.84) — 49% OFF
- **Deal ID:** 34881
- **Quality Score:** 52/100 (PRIMARY tier)

**What Happened:**
1. ✅ Deal fetched and ranked successfully
2. ✅ Tweet composed and validated
3. ✅ Image downloaded locally
4. ❌ **SCP transfer to Maya VM timed out** (30s timeout)
5. ❌ **SSH connection test confirms Maya VM is offline/unreachable**

**Root Cause:**
Maya VM (maya@maya) is not responding on the network. Connection timeout suggests the VM is down, network is broken, or SSH service is not running.

**Next Steps:**
1. Check Maya VM status (is it running?)
2. Verify Tailscale connectivity between Fred and Maya
3. Once Maya is back online, the next cron run will retry

**Deal NOT posted** to X or Pinterest. Will retry in 30 minutes.
