**Pipeline Issues Detected (Action Needed):**

1. **x_deal_scraper.py is broken** — uses Playwright/CDP to scrape X without authentication. X now requires login to view tweets, so it always returns 0 deals → priority queue stays empty forever.

2. **Chrome CDP not auto-starting** — when the cron fires, Chrome isn't running on Maya. Manually started it at `localhost:9222` for this run, but it won't persist across reboots.

3. **Fix:** Update `x_deal_scraper.py` to use **twikit** (same library used for posting). `x_cookies.json` on Maya is valid and can scrape all 3 accounts (DealsFinderIO, GlitchedDeals, FatKidDeals) successfully.

This run bypassed the broken queue and posted directly using twikit + pin_post_v2.py on Maya.
