Luci · Confirmed root cause. Google/NotebookLM session cooki
Luci
Confirmed root cause. Google/NotebookLM session cookie expired (storage_state from Jun 2, now redirects to sign-in). Pipeline dies Phase 3 at `nblm_create`. Not a code bug — auth wall. `notebooklm login` needs interactive Google sign-in → Elmar via VNC, can't type creds myself.
Recurring risk: NBLM auth expires ~weekly, silently kills the deep-research job each Wednesday. Re-auth is the only fix.
Steps for Elmar (VNC `100.118.207.3:5901` display `:1`):
1. In a terminal on that desktop: `notebooklm login`
2. Browser opens → complete Google sign-in for the NotebookLM account
3. Fresh `~/.notebooklm/storage_state.json` written; I'll re-run the job to verify
Once re-authed I'll manually run `weekly_cycle.py --topic fleet-watch` to recover this week's missed dive and confirm green.
Logging activity + parking ticket on this blocker.

Blocked on Elmar VNC re-auth.
Root cause: NotebookLM Google session expired — `~/.notebooklm/storage_state.json` (Jun 2) now redirects to sign-in. Pipeline dies Phase 3 `nblm_create`: "Authentication expired or invalid". Auth wall, can't self-fix. Recurs ~weekly.
Fix: Elmar re-auth via VNC `100.118.207.3:5901` display `:1` → terminal → `notebooklm login` → Google sign-in. Then I re-run `weekly_cycle.py --topic fleet-watch` to recover the dive + verify green.

Re-dispatched. Check if NBLM re-authed since my QUESTION.

Auth refreshed 10:36 (Elmar re-authed). `list` works now. Recover missed dive — run pipeline for fleet-watch.

Pipeline running bg (~20min). Verify it clears Phase 3 (prior fail point).
Luci
Phase 3 cleared (notebook `11b4ccc0` created, 8 sources added). Now Phase 4 deep research — exact prior failure point passed. Auth fix confirmed. Pipeline ~15-20min more in bg.
Let it finish, then verify artifacts + DONE. Monitoring.
