fix(keeper): probe-validate YouTube cookie exports + browser-restart self-heal (v0.26.0) - #43
Conversation
…self-heal YouTube now invalidates the keeper's exported cookie snapshot server-side within hours while the live browser session stays 'logged in', so the keeper kept uploading dead cookies every 8h and YouTube search returned zero results for ~30h (2026-08-24 outage). The browser's login state is not a valid health signal — only a real yt-dlp extraction is. - credential_keeper/probe.py: yt-dlp probe against a stable public video, classifying failures as invalid-cookies vs transient - keeper: probe after every export + every 30 min between refreshes; on rejection relaunch the browser, re-login, re-export, re-probe (up to 3 attempts); alert only when self-heal fails - credential health check: probe the public video via the shared probe (old private test video had become inaccessible -> every run soft-'ok'); bot-wall -> EXPIRED with fix command - suppression: YouTube 'keeper is actively managing' window 24h -> 2h so failed self-heal actually alerts - provision.sh: keeper unit gets YOUTUBE_COOKIES_FILE + FLACFETCH_YTDLP_CACHE_DIR Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…oser markers, event-loop offload - suppression reads keeper's 30-min probe heartbeat (last_refresh alone left the 2h window closed for 6 of every 8 hours) - periodic-probe-triggered remediation relaunches the browser before attempt 1 (re-exporting from a proven-dead session is a no-op) - bot-wall markers loosened to 'not a bot' substring (match downloaders/youtube.py classification; wording drift must not disarm self-heal) - credentials API routes offload the blocking probe via asyncio.to_thread - probe gets socket_timeout=30; max_attempts=0 no longer coerced to default - success notification only claims 'probe-validated' when the probe was OK Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughThe change adds real yt-dlp cookie probes, browser self-healing, probe-backed credential checks, asynchronous API execution, service-specific alert thresholds, deployment variables, documentation, version metadata, and comprehensive tests. ChangesYouTube Cookie Health
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves YouTube cookie validation and recovery, but unrelated probe failures can currently be reported as healthy, masking credential outages, and persistent self-heal failures can generate repeated alerts. Tighten the failure classification before merge and address alert throttling or explicitly accept the bounded notification risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

284-295: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winThrottle the repeated self-heal failure notification.
On failure the loop sets
last_youtube_refresh = nowandlast_youtube_probe = now. The probe then runs again afterYOUTUBE_PROBE_INTERVAL(30 min), finds the cookies still dead, and forces another remediation cycle. Each failed cycle sends one Pushbullet push. If YouTube keeps rejecting the export, this sends about 48 pushes per day until a human intervenes.Record the last alert time in
statusand send the alert at most once per longer window.♻️ Proposed throttle
else: - await _send_notification( - "❌ YouTube Cookies Invalid After Self-Heal", - "Cookie export still failing the yt-dlp probe after " - f"{YOUTUBE_MAX_REFRESH_ATTEMPTS} attempts (with browser " - "restarts). Manual intervention needed: " - f"{status.get('youtube', {}).get('last_failure_reason', 'unknown')}", - ) + last_alert = status.get("youtube", {}).get("last_failure_alert_at", float("-inf")) + if now - last_alert >= YOUTUBE_FAILURE_ALERT_INTERVAL: + status.setdefault("youtube", {})["last_failure_alert_at"] = now + await _send_notification( + "❌ YouTube Cookies Invalid After Self-Heal", + "Cookie export still failing the yt-dlp probe after " + f"{YOUTUBE_MAX_REFRESH_ATTEMPTS} attempts (with browser " + "restarts). Manual intervention needed: " + f"{status.get('youtube', {}).get('last_failure_reason', 'unknown')}", + )Note that
nowcomes from the loop clock, so the stored value resets across keeper restarts. Use a wall-clock timestamp if the throttle must survive restarts.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
Durable fix for the 2026-08-24 outage: YouTube search returned zero results for ~30h (Gen "Choose Audio" showed Spotify-only) while the credential keeper reported healthy refreshes. YouTube now invalidates the keeper's exported cookie snapshot server-side within hours while the live browser session stays "logged in" — so the keeper's login check passed and it kept uploading dead cookies every 8h. The browser's login state is not a valid health signal; only a real yt-dlp extraction is.
Changes
credential_keeper/probe.py(new): yt-dlp metadata probe against a stable public video ("Me at the zoo"), classifying failures as invalid-cookies vs transient.socket_timeout=30, cache-safe in the keeper env.KEEPER_YOUTUBE_PROBE_INTERVAL). On rejection: relaunch browser → re-login → re-export → re-probe, up toKEEPER_YOUTUBE_MAX_ATTEMPTS(3). When the periodic probe proved the session dead, attempt 1 relaunches immediately (re-exporting from a dead session is a no-op). Pushbullet alert fires only when self-heal fails. Probe state recorded inkeeper-status.json./credentials/check+/credentials/youtubeoffload the now-heavier blocking probe viaasyncio.to_thread.YOUTUBE_COOKIES_FILE+FLACFETCH_YTDLP_CACHE_DIR.Testing
tests/test_keeper_probe.py: 27 tests covering probe classification, the self-heal loop (relaunch counts, relaunch-first, max-attempts, transient acceptance), health-check verdicts, and suppression thresholdsDeploy
