# ⚙️ Configuration Guide# ⚙️ Configuration Guide



**Customize script behavior in `src/config.jsonc`**This page documents every field in the configuration file. The default ships as `src/config.jsonc` so you get inline `//` guidance without editor warnings, and the loader still accepts traditional `config.json` files if you prefer plain JSON.



---Looking for ready-to-use presets? Check `docs/config-presets/` for curated examples such as `balanced.jsonc` (full automation with humanization) and `minimal.jsonc` (lean runs with quick scheduling).



## ⚡ Quick Start (Essentials)> NOTE: Previous versions had `logging.live` (live streaming webhook); it was removed and replaced by a simple `logging.redactEmails` flag.

  }## Security / Best Practices

}- Keep `redactEmails` true if you share logs publicly.

```- Use a private NTFY instance or secure Discord webhooks (do not leak URLs).

- Avoid setting `headless` false on untrusted remote servers.

### Job State

---

```jsonc## Minimal Example

{```jsonc

  "jobState": {{

    "enabled": true,  "browser": { "headless": true },

    "dir": ""  // Empty = use default location  "execution": { "parallel": false },

  }  "workers": { "doDailySet": true, "doDesktopSearch": true, "doMobileSearch": true },

}  "logging": { "redactEmails": true }

```}

```

### Auto-Update

## Common Tweaks

```jsonc| Goal | Change |

{|------|--------|

  "update": {| Faster dev feedback | Set `browser.headless` to false and shorten search delays. |

    "git": true,| Reduce detection risk | Keep humanization enabled, add vacation window. |

    "docker": false,| Silent mode | Add more buckets to `excludeFunc`. |

    "scriptPath": "setup/update/update.mjs"| Skip mobile searches | Set `workers.doMobileSearch=false`. |

  }| Use daily schedule | Set `schedule.enabled=true` and adjust `time24` + `timeZone`. |

}

## NEW INTELLIGENT FEATURES

</details>

### riskManagement

---Dynamic risk assessment and ban prediction.



## 🎛️ Intelligent Features (v2.2+)| Key | Type | Default | Description |

|-----|------|---------|-------------|

{| banPrediction | boolean | true | Enable ML-style pattern analysis to predict ban risk. |

  "riskManagement": {| riskThreshold | number | 75 | Risk score (0-100) above which bot pauses or alerts. |

    "enabled": true,

    "autoAdjustDelays": true,**How it works:** Monitors captchas, errors, timeouts, and account patterns. Dynamically adjusts delays (e.g., 1x → 2.5x) and warns you before bans happen.

    "banPrediction": true,

    "riskThreshold": 75---

  }### analytics

}Performance dashboard and metrics tracking.

```

| Key | Type | Default | Description |

Dynamically adjusts delays when detecting captchas/errors.|-----|------|---------|-------------|

| enabled | boolean | true | Track points earned, success rates, execution times. |

---| retentionDays | number | 30 | How long to keep analytics data. |

| exportMarkdown | boolean | true | Generate human-readable markdown reports. |

### Query Diversity| webhookSummary | boolean | false | Send analytics summary via webhook. |



```jsonc**Output location:** `analytics/` folder (JSON files per account per day).

{

  "queryDiversity": {---

    "enabled": true,### queryDiversity

    "sources": ["google-trends", "reddit", "local-fallback"],Multi-source search query generation.

    "maxQueriesPerSource": 10

  }| Key | Type | Default | Description |

}|-----|------|---------|-------------|

```| enabled | boolean | true | Use diverse sources instead of just Google Trends. |

| sources | array | `["google-trends", "reddit", "local-fallback"]` | Which sources to query (google-trends, reddit, news, wikipedia, local-fallback). |

Uses multiple search sources to avoid patterns.| maxQueriesPerSource | number | 10 | Max queries to fetch per source. |

| cacheMinutes | number | 30 | Cache duration to avoid hammering APIs. |

---

**Why?** Reduces patterns by mixing Reddit posts, news headlines, Wikipedia topics instead of predictable Google Trends.

### Analytics

---

```jsonc### dryRun

{Test mode: simulate execution without actually running tasks.

  "analytics": {

    "enabled": true,| Key | Type | Default | Description |

    "retentionDays": 30,|-----|------|---------|-------------|

    "exportMarkdown": true| dryRun | boolean | false | When true, logs actions but doesn't execute (useful for testing config). |

  }

}**Use case:** Validate new config changes, estimate execution time, debug issues without touching accounts.

```

---

Tracks points earned, success rates, execution times.## Changelog Notes

- **v2.2.0**: Added risk-aware throttling, analytics dashboard, query diversity, ban prediction, dry-run mode.

---- Removed live webhook streaming complexity; now simpler logging.

- Centralized redaction logic under `logging.redactEmails`.

### Dry Run (Test Mode)

If something feels undocumented or unclear, open a documentation issue or extend this page.

```jsonc
{
  "dryRun": true
}
```

**Or via CLI:**
```bash
npm start -- --dry-run
```

Simulates execution without actually running tasks.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| **Config not loading** | Check JSON syntax (trailing commas OK in `.jsonc`) |
| **Script ignoring config** | Verify file is `src/config.jsonc` |
| **Errors after update** | Compare with example config |
