- Deleted the scheduler module and its associated functions, transitioning to OS-level scheduling. - Removed the Analytics module and its related interfaces, retaining only a placeholder for backward compatibility. - Updated ConfigValidator to warn about legacy schedule and analytics configurations. - Cleaned up StartupValidator to remove diagnostics and schedule validation logic. - Adjusted Load.ts to handle legacy flags for diagnostics and analytics. - Removed unused diagnostics capturing functionality.

# 🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide
|
|
|
|
Keep runs healthy by watching logs, catching alerts early, and validating your setup before enabling automation on a schedule.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Quick Checklist
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Run `npm run start` manually after every configuration change.
|
|
- ✅ Confirm Node.js 20+ with `node -v` (22 LTS recommended).
|
|
- ✅ Keep dependencies current: `npm install` then `npm run build`.
|
|
- ✅ Double-check credentials, TOTP secrets, and recovery email values.
|
|
- ✅ Review external scheduler logs (Task Scheduler, cron, etc.).

## Capture Logs Reliably
|
|
|
|
### Terminal sessions
|
|
|
|
- **PowerShell**
|
|
```powershell
|
|
npm run start *>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath logs/rewards.txt
|
|
```
|
|
- **Bash / Linux / macOS**
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p logs
|
|
npm run start >> logs/rewards.log 2>&1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Verbose output
|
|
|
|
Set `DEBUG_REWARDS_VERBOSE=1` for additional context around worker progress and risk scoring.
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$env:DEBUG_REWARDS_VERBOSE = "1"
|
|
npm run start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Clear the variable afterwards (`Remove-Item Env:DEBUG_REWARDS_VERBOSE`).
|
|
|
|
### Structured alerts
|
|
|
|
- Enable `conclusionWebhook` to receive a summary on completion.
|
|
- Turn on `ntfy` for lightweight push alerts.
|
|
- Pipe logs into observability tools (ELK, Loki, etc.) if you self-host them.

## Common Issues & Fixes
|
|
|
|
| Symptom | Checks | Fix |
|
|
|---------|--------|-----|
|
|
| **Login loops or MFA prompts** | Ensure `totp` secret is correct, recovery email matches your Microsoft profile. | Regenerate TOTP from Microsoft Account, update `recoveryEmail`, retry manually. |
|
|
| **Points not increasing** | Review `workers` section; confirm searches complete in logs. | Enable missing workers, increase `passesPerRun`, verify network connectivity. |
|
|
| **Script stops early** | Look for `SECURITY` or `RISK` warnings. | Address ban alerts, adjust `riskManagement` thresholds, or pause for 24h. |
|
|
| **Scheduler runs but nothing happens** | Confirm working directory, environment variables, file paths. | Use absolute paths in cron/Task Scheduler, ensure `npm` is available on PATH. |
|
|
| **Proxy failures** | Check proxy URL/port/auth in logs. | Test with `curl`/`Invoke-WebRequest`, update credentials, or disable proxy temporarily. |

## Manual Investigation Tips
|
|
|
|
- **Single account test:** `npm run start -- --account email@example.com`
|
|
- **Playwright Inspector:** set `PWDEBUG=1` to pause the browser for step-by-step review.
|
|
- **Job state reset:** delete `sessions/job-state/` for a clean pass.
|
|
- **Session reset:** remove `sessions/` to force fresh logins.
|
|
- **Network tracing:** use the bundled Chromium DevTools (`--devtools`) when running locally.

## When to Revisit Config
|
|
|
|
- After Microsoft introduces new activities or login flows.
|
|
- When risk alerts become frequent (tune delays, enable vacation mode).
|
|
- If external schedulers overlap and cause concurrent runs.
|
|
- When scaling to more accounts (consider proxies, increase `clusters`).
