# Recurring scrape — GUI zip users
The **DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64** (or similar) GUI zip is only the desktop app. Docker, cron, and append-only JSON merges live in the **source repo** checked out beside the zip:
```text
DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/ ← GUI (this folder)
DiscordChatExporter/ ← source repo (scripts, Docker, config)
```
Sync to the GUI zip folder: `./scripts/sync-gui-bridge-doc.sh` (writes `../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/RECURRING-SCRAPE.md` by default).
## Quick start (run from source repo)
```bash
cd ../DiscordChatExporter # or your clone path
./scripts/operator-handoff.sh # disk + verify + archive dry-run
./scripts/sync-token-from-gui.sh --force # token from GUI Settings.dat
# or: cp scrape.env.example scrape.env and set DISCORD_TOKEN (never commit)
./scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh # verify, build image, preflight
./scripts/run-documents-scrape.sh # incremental append-only scrape
./scripts/run-operator-proof.sh --sync-gui --target eod_discord # one-target handoff + scrape + grow-only proof
./scripts/setup-cron.sh --dry-run # preview monthly job (default 1st @ 04:00)
./scripts/setup-cron.sh # install cron after handoff passes
```
Optional integrity tools:
```bash
./scripts/audit-archive-json.sh
./scripts/scrape-lock-status.sh # show archive-root scrape lock
./scripts/scrape-lock-status.sh --reclaim-stale # clear dead-holder lock artifacts
# ./scripts/salvage-truncated-export.sh path/to/export.json
```
### Stuck or crashed export (partial `.dce-temp`)
After stopping a long run, merge quiescent partial exports before re-downloading history:
```bash
./scripts/scrape-lock-status.sh
./scripts/scrape-lock-status.sh --reclaim-stale # when state is stale
# Merge partial temps only (no Discord)
./scripts/operator-handoff.sh --salvage-only --target KotOR_discord_msgs --channel 221726893064454144
# Salvage then incremental catch-up (one command; 8g cap via scrape-targets.json for KotOR)
./scripts/run-kotor-yes-general-catchup.sh
# Or: --dry-run | --salvage-only | --validation | --prove
# Inspect: ./scripts/print-scrape-summary.sh logs/kotor-yes-general.summary.json
# Manual equivalent (validation with audit):
# DCE_MIN_FREE_MB=0 ./scripts/run-operator-validation.sh \
# --salvage-before-scrape --target KotOR_discord_msgs \
# --channel 221726893064454144 --log-file logs/kotor-yes-general.log
```
Or direct documents scrape:
```bash
./scripts/run-documents-scrape.sh \
--salvage-before-scrape \
--target KotOR_discord_msgs \
--channel 221726893064454144
```
If a temp is still being written, stop the export first. To merge an active temp after confirming nothing is writing: `DCE_SALVAGE_ACTIVE_TEMPS=1`.
Archives: `config/scrape-targets.json` (typically `~/Documents/*` per target `output_dir`).
**Disk:** Free several GiB on `/home` and archive roots before large scrapes (`DCE_MIN_FREE_MB`, default 1024).
**Validate scripts:** `DCE_MIN_FREE_MB=0 ./scripts/run-all-smokes.sh` (**24/24** offline smokes; `--include-container` optional)
**Podman (Fedora):** install `podman-compose` when `docker compose` cannot reach the socket; scripts auto-prefer it.
## Wrappers in the GUI zip folder
From `DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/`:
```bash
./bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh --dry-run
```
That script delegates to `../DiscordChatExporter/scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh`.
