+title: feat: One-command recurring scrape bootstrap
+type: feat
+status: completed
+date: 2026-05-29
+origin: LFG — close operator gap between GUI zip workspace and first successful scrape/cron
+---
+
+# feat: One-command recurring scrape bootstrap
+
+## Summary
+
+Provide `bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh` so operators run verify → docker build → preflight in one command, plus smoke coverage and GUI-workspace stubs.
+
+## Requirements
+
+| ID | Requirement |
+|----|-------------|
+| R1 | `bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh` supports `--dry-run`, `--skip-build`, `--target` |
+| R2 | `scrape-here.sh` forwards `--help` to container scrape help |
+| R3 | `scrape-here-smoke.sh` in CI recurring-scrape-smoke job |
+| R4 | GUI zip folder has executable bootstrap stub |
+| R5 | All existing smoke tests still pass |
+
+## Implementation Units
+
+### U1. Bootstrap script
+
+**Files:** `scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh`
+
+### U2. Launcher + smoke
+
+**Files:** `scripts/scrape-here.sh`, `scripts/tests/scrape-here-smoke.sh`, `.github/workflows/main.yml`
+
+### U3. GUI workspace stub
+
+**Files:** `../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh`
+
+## Verification
+

+
+Bootstrap recurring append-only Discord scrapes:
+  1. Verify ~/Documents archive folders (config/scrape-targets.json)
+  2. Build the source Docker image (unless --skip-build)
+  3. Ensure scrape.env exists when DISCORD_TOKEN is exported
+  4. Run authenticated preflight (skipped with --dry-run)

+Options:
+  --dry-run       Verify archives only; do not build or call Discord
+  --skip-build    Skip docker compose build
+  --target NAME   Limit preflight to one configured target (repeatable)
+  --config PATH   Targets JSON (default: config/scrape-targets.json)
+  --env-file PATH Compose env file (default: scrape.env)
