Media manager (local ops)

Verify every publish/scrape/login action with three-state results: PASS | FAIL | INCONCLUSIVE — never claim done without proof.

Three-state verification (PASS|FAIL|INCONCLUSIVE) for every login/publish/scrape. Timeouts, max-3 self-heal, re-verify after fix, final_gate blocks false success. After AutoSocial: file in posted/, proof screenshot, session still valid.

Local multi-account short-form ops dashboard: queue videos, schedule posts, persist Playwright sessions, uniquify with FFmpeg, download refs with yt-dlp — without a hosted SaaS holding logins.

MIT open-source local media manager for TikTok + Instagram + YouTube. Express dashboard on 127.0.0.1:3000, Playwright uploads, per-account queues, cron/daily/instant schedule, yt-dlp autodownload, FFmpeg uniquifier (+ optional logo). Node 18+, Chromium, FFmpeg/ffprobe; optional yt-dlp. Creator ops control plane (not spam SaaS). Sessions: .profiles/<account>/<platform>. Queues: queue/<account>/{tiktok,instagram,youtube}/pending. First-run Setup verifies deps + folders. No auth — keep local. Repo: github.com/Katzca/AutoSocial

Keep dashboard on localhost; understand same-origin mutating guards; never expose .profiles/ or .env.

No user auth layer. Default bind 127.0.0.1. Mutating APIs blocked from random sites via same-origin. DASHBOARD_ALLOW_REMOTE=true only on trusted LAN. Rotate credentials if sessions leak.

Follow Setup + doctor checks before any publish: deps, login sessions, queue folders, env captions/crons.

Official setup docs. Run: npm ci → npx playwright install chromium → npm run doctor → copy .env.example → .env → npm run dashboard → open Setup view. Fix PATH for ffmpeg/ffprobe before automating.
