[cron:db6cac56-e367-486e-bbf5-c00950829a32 ghc-marketing-todo-check-6am] Cron nudge: Read TODO.md. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop. If all tasks are complete or blocked, report status and sleep.
Current time: Friday, February 27th, 2026 — 11:32 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.

This is a cron task asking me to read TODO.md and check for pending tasks. Let me follow the boot sequence and then check TODO.md.

Boot sequence:
1. Read USER.md → already have it in context
2. Read learnings/LEARNINGS.md → need to read this
3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday) → today is 2026-02-27, yesterday was 2026-02-26
4. Main session only: Read MEMORY.md

Let me start by reading TODO.md to see what tasks are pending, then check the memory files.

# Learnings

One-line rules learned from mistakes. Read these every session.

## Format
- [YYYY-MM-DD] Category: Lesson learned

## Rules
<!-- Add new rules below this line -->
- [2026-02-24] Twitter/X Engagement: Twitter hashtag search has been returning 0 results for 2+ days despite successful auth. Don't waste attempts retrying same failed approaches - document failure and recommend disabling cron until fixed.
- [2026-02-26] Browser Service: When browser control fails with "gateway needs restart", also check if web search API has auth errors. Multiple infrastructure failures = disable cron immediately rather than retry.

# MEMORY.md — GottaHaveCoups Marketing

Permanent lessons and critical gotchas for the GHC marketing system.

---

## 🚨 CRITICAL: Shell Variable Expansion Bug (PRICING)

**Issue:** Prices showing as `.69` instead of `$5.69`

**Root Cause:** Shell interprets `${x.get('price','')}` as `$x` (undefined variable), stripping the `$` sign.

**When it happens:**
- Cron job payloads using double-quoted shell strings with `$` variables
- Heredocs with unescaped `$` in prices
- Any shell command that processes prices like `$5.69`

**WRONG (will break):**
```bash
python3 -c "import json; x={'price':'$5.69'}; print(${x.get('price')})"
# Output: .69 (shell expands $x to nothing)
```

**RIGHT (safe):**
```python3
import json
x = {'price': '$5.69'}
print(x.get('price'))  # Output: $5.69
```

**Permanent Fix:**
1. **Cron jobs:** Use Python code blocks, not shell pipes with `$`
2. **File writing:** Use Python with UTF-8 encoding for all tweets
3. **SSH commands:** Use single quotes `'` not double quotes `"` when passing prices

**Verification:**
```bash
python3 scripts/validate_tweet.py '<tweet_text>'
# Checks for: missing $ signs, shell artifacts, broken emojis
```

4. Check post appears correctly on X/Pinterest
