Recurring scrape operator checklist

Use this after cloning or opening the source repo (DiscordChatExporter, not the GUI zip alone).

One-time setup

./scripts/verify-operator-ready.sh — jq, compose, auth, and archive folders.
cp scrape.env.example scrape.env and set DISCORD_TOKEN, or ./scripts/sync-token-from-gui.sh --force (reads GUI Settings.dat).
./scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh --dry-run — confirm every enabled target has seeded JSON under output_dir.
./scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh — verify archives, build image, preflight Discord.
./scripts/run-documents-scrape.sh — first incremental append-only scrape.
./scripts/prove-incremental-append.sh --target <name> — optional grow-only proof.
./scripts/audit-archive-json.sh — optional; lists invalid JSON before cron runs.

./scripts/setup-cron.sh --dry-run
./scripts/setup-cron.sh --skip-preflight   # after bootstrap preflight already succeeded

Defaults: first day of month at 04:00. Override with --interval weekly, --at HH:MM, or --cron '0 4 1 * *'.

Installed jobs are marked # BEGIN discord-scrape in crontab -l. Logs append to logs/discord-scrape.log.

./scripts/run-documents-scrape.sh --target KotOR_discord_msgs
./scripts/setup-cron.sh --target KotOR_discord_msgs --channel CHANNEL_ID

See ../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/RECURRING-SCRAPE.md or run ../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh.
