# ⚙️ Configuration Guide
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).
> 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.
---
## Minimal Example
```jsonc
{
"browser": { "headless": true },
"execution": { "parallel": false },
"workers": { "doDailySet": true, "doDesktopSearch": true, "doMobileSearch": true },
"logging": { "redactEmails": true }
}
```
## Common Tweaks
| Goal | Change |
|------|--------|
| Faster dev feedback | Set `browser.headless` to false and shorten search delays. |
| Reduce detection risk | Keep humanization enabled, add vacation window. |
| Silent mode | Add more buckets to `excludeFunc`. |
| Skip mobile searches | Set `workers.doMobileSearch=false`. |
| Use daily schedule | Set `schedule.enabled=true` and adjust `time24` + `timeZone`. |

## NEW INTELLIGENT FEATURES
### riskManagement
Dynamic risk assessment and ban prediction.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| enabled | boolean | true | Enable risk-aware throttling. |
| autoAdjustDelays | boolean | true | Automatically increase delays when captchas/errors are detected. |
| stopOnCritical | boolean | false | Stop execution if risk score exceeds threshold. |
| banPrediction | boolean | true | Enable ML-style pattern analysis to predict ban risk. |
| riskThreshold | number | 75 | Risk score (0-100) above which bot pauses or alerts. |
**How it works:** Monitors captchas, errors, timeouts, and account patterns. Dynamically adjusts delays (e.g., 1x → 2.5x) and warns you before bans happen.
---
### analytics
Performance dashboard and metrics tracking.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| 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. |
| webhookSummary | boolean | false | Send analytics summary via webhook. |
**Output location:** `analytics/` folder (JSON files per account per day).
---
### queryDiversity
Multi-source search query generation.
| 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). |
| 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.
---
### dryRun
Test mode: simulate execution without actually running tasks.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
| 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.
---
## 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`.
