[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 — 3:57 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.

thinking:
This is a scheduled cron job task to post a deal to X (Twitter) and Pinterest. The instructions are clear:

1. Run the safe script at `/home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/ghc-marketing/scripts/post_deal_safe.py`
2. This script handles everything safely (no shell variable expansion bugs)
3. If it fails, report the error

Let me execute this script now.

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


thinking: The process is taking a while with no output. This could be normal as it's connecting to the Maya VM via SSH to post the deal. Let me continue polling to wait for completion.


thinking: Still running. Let me wait one more time and then check the log for any updates.


thinking: Let me check the log again to see if there's any output now, as the script should be producing some output as it works.


thinking: Still no output. This is unusual. Let me continue polling to wait for the process to complete. The script may be running SSH commands which could take time.


thinking: Let me check one more time for any output or completion.

Process still running.


thinking:
Aha! The script is timing out on the SCP command to transfer the image to the Maya VM. This is likely a network connectivity issue between Fred and Maya VMs. The script got through all the preparation steps successfully but failed when trying to copy the image file to Maya.

I should let this process complete (or timeout fully) and then report the issue. The error is clear: the SCP command to transfer the image to Maya is timing out after 30 seconds.

thinking: The script is clearly stuck on the SCP timeout. Let me kill the process and then test the connectivity to Maya VM to diagnose the issue.

action: kill


text: Killed session calm-slug.

status: failed


thinking: Good, I've killed the hung process. Now let me test if I can reach the Maya VM via SSH to understand what the connectivity issue is.

exec

command: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 maya@maya "echo 'Connection test successful'"


status: error

tool: exec

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

Command exited with code 255


thinking:
Aha! The Maya VM is not reachable from Fred. The SSH connection is timing out. This is the root cause of the posting failure - the script can't transfer the image to Maya to post it.

Let me check if Maya is running by trying to ping it or checking via Tailscale.

command: tailscale status | grep -i maya


text: 100.124.155.26  maya                   tagged-devices          linux    active; relay "mia"; offline, last seen 12h ago, tx 6084 rx 0

status: completed


thinking:
There's the problem! Maya VM is offline on Tailscale - it was last seen 12 hours ago. The VM is down or not connected to the network. This is why the deal posting failed.

I need to report this to Chad so he can restart the Maya VM or investigate why it's offline.

text:
**DEAL POSTING FAILED** ❌

**Root cause:** Maya VM is OFFLINE (last seen 12 hours ago on Tailscale)

**What happened:**
- ✅ Selected deal: RUNmax Weighted Vest - $19.60 (49% off, score 52/100)
- ✅ Generated tweet with validation
- ✅ Downloaded product image
- ❌ Failed to transfer image to Maya VM (SSH connection timeout)

**Technical details:**
```
Maya Tailscale status: offline, last seen 12h ago
SSH to maya@maya: Connection timed out
```

**To fix:**
1. Restart Maya VM or check why it's offline
2. Once Maya is back online, the next cron run will auto-post

**Deal ready to post (when Maya is back):**
RUNmax RUNFast RM_20 Pro Weighted Vest, 20 lb - just $19.60 (was $38.84) — 49% OFF
Deal ID: 34881

Should I try to restart Maya remotely, or do you want to check why it went down?
