No process on 8788 — portal not running? Find code + service.
Luci
`scripts/auth_portal.py` is it. Read canonical version + check how it's served.
Luci
Portal running pid 4035508. Read capture flow in source — focus relevant parts.
Luci
MC-4637 already referenced in code (line 1224) — file edited today 08:15. Read capture flow backend + JS.
Luci
Capture writes signal file; helper does actual capture + writes status. Read JS poll loop + helper script.
Luci
Watchdog already present (edited 08:15 today). Check if running process predates edit + read poll loop start + helper.
Luci
Critical: running process from **May 26** but file edited today 08:15 — uncommitted changes from attempt 1, never deployed. Check git status + diff.
Luci
Full picture now:
- Running portal pid 4035508 = **May 26 code** (no watchdog/kill-browser fix).
- Canonical `scripts/auth_portal.py` + `nblm_auth_helper.py` have **uncommitted** fix from attempt-1 (08:15), never committed/deployed.
- **Orphan Chromium tree (pid 2613929) alive now**, holding NotebookLM profile lock — exact bug.
Read the uncommitted diff to verify before committing.
Luci
Diff is correct + minimal. Root cause confirmed: orphan Chromium (killed not closed) leaves `Singleton{Lock,Cookie,Socket}` + holds profile lock → next launch forwards to dead session → capture never completes → spinner stuck forever. Fix reaps orphan by profile path, clears locks, wraps re-nav gotos, adds 60s JS watchdog. Attempt-1 wrote it but died before commit/deploy.
Mandatory dev-loop before commit + check canonical branch.
Luci
Tier 2 bug fix — fix code exists (attempt-1, uncommitted), needs verify + regression + commit + deploy. Check canonical branch + how service is managed.
Luci
Canonical on `master` — commit there. Find the user systemd unit managing the portal.
Luci
`auth-portal.service` (user systemd) manages it — `systemctl --user restart` deploys. Safe self-approved restart.
Write regression test for the lock/orphan-reap logic.
Luci
Path.unlink not patchable on instance — point NBLM_SIGNAL/STATUS at tmp paths instead.
Luci
All 4 pass. Now clear current stuck state (kill live orphan tree + stale locks/signal), then commit + deploy.
Luci
Locks + signals gone. 1 chrome lingers — check what it is.
Luci
The "1" is my own grep command — no real Chromium orphan left. State fully clean: 0 chrome, 0 locks, 0 signals.
Commit fix + test on master, push.
Luci
Pushed + restarted, new pid running new code. Verify deployment serves the fix.
Luci
Watchdog deployed (3/3), start launches clean. Confirm helper launched real browser (not forwarding to dead session) then poll status.
Luci
Decisive: status `ready`, `on_notebooklm:true`, full 10-proc Chromium tree alive — clean launch, no dead-session forward. Now test the actual capture (the leg that hung).
Luci
**Full end-to-end success.** Capture went `capturing → success` in ~3s, saved 73 cookies, `has_sid:true`, wrote `storage_state.json`. The exact flow that hung forever now completes. Profile was already logged in so I verified the complete path without needing VNC.
Stop flow + verify storage freshness, then capture portal screenshots for visual gate.
Luci
storage_state.json freshly written (10:36, 20KB). After stop, locks=0 and orphan tree reaped — full lifecycle clean. (chrome=1 is my own grep, established false positive.)
Visual gate: capture portal at 1280 + 375px.
Luci
Heredoc stdin not reaching it (likely RTK proxy). Use `-c`.
Luci
`-c` works. Capture screenshots.
Luci
cdp emulation needs page session. Check `cdp()` signature + capture desktop shot directly (no emulation), retry mobile correctly.
Luci
I passed params dict as positional → landed in `session_id`. Use kwargs.
Luci
Screenshots captured. View them to confirm portal renders correctly.
Luci
Mobile 375px clean. NotebookLM tile now shows **healthy · "Cookies saved: 2026-06-03 10:36 SAST (0 days ago) · 73 cookies"** — live proof the capture synced fresh cookies and the health probe passes.
Add a recovery runbook (acceptance criterion: runbook check), then finalize.
Luci
Done. Report completion via mc-coord.
