… LinkedIn Adds scripts/social-post.ts for automating approved social media posts. Supports --platform (twitter|linkedin), --thread for multi-tweet threads with 30s delay, --dry-run mode, stdin/file input, and persistent browser profile for session reuse. Selectors use data-testid/aria-label attributes and are centralized for easy updates after real-world DOM testing. Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
The dry-run path slept 600s waiting for Ctrl+C, and the dispatcher's subprocess timeout is also 600s. Every driven dry run lost that race and was recorded as failed, with the browser's own stderr stored as the error — which pointed the investigation at Chromium rather than at the timing. SOCIAL_POST_NO_HOLD=1 skips the hold for driven runs; an interactive run still holds the browser open for inspection. Change made 2026-09-02 while tracing five failed social_jobs from 08-21.
The script and the three files added with it — a root package.json, its lockfile and scripts/tsconfig.json — existed on this branch only. Master never carried them, and this branch was never merged. They now live in fknfairyfloss/ambr-agent under poster/, beside jobs/dispatch-social.py, which is the code that invokes them. Both commits were carried across with their original authors and dates: 56dd4d0 the April version, from 028cf60 here 202419b the dry-run timeout fix, from a521df3 here Selectors change when X or LinkedIn change their DOM. That cadence has nothing to do with the contracts application, and neither does browser automation this repository never runs.
