browser_cookie3 has been unmaintained for 15+ months and breaks with
newer browser versions. rookiepy (Rust-based, 345 stars, updated 2026-01)
is now the preferred cookie extraction backend.
- xueqiu.py: try rookiepy first, fallback to browser_cookie3
- cookie_extract.py: same priority order, compatible API wrapper
- Remove bird CLI credential sync (bird repo deleted)
- 104 tests passing

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Uses Discord Invite API to read public
server info (no auth), and Exa via mcporter for content search.
Tested: discord.gg/python returns 419K members, description, channel.
104 tests passing.

Zero-config channel (tier=0). Searches so.toutiao.com by scraping
embedded JSON from script tags. Fixes URL extraction order from PR #207
(article_url is the primary field, not display.info.url). Adds read()
via Jina Reader. 89 tests passing.

Reddit blocks nearly all non-browser access at IP level (including ISP proxies).
Switch Reddit channel to use Exa exclusively:
- Search: web_search_exa with includeDomains: ["reddit.com"]
- Read: crawling_exa for full post + comments
- check() now verifies Exa availability instead of probing Reddit API
- tier changed from 1 (needs config) to 0 (zero config)
- Removed reddit_proxy from config, CLI, and setup guide
- Updated all docs (README, README_en, install.md, SKILL.md, references)
- Fixed xreach→bird references in references/social.md
Fixes#218, Fixes#222, Fixes#221

The Xueqiu stock API requires a login session token (xq_a_token) that
is generated by Xueqiu's frontend JavaScript and cannot be obtained by
simply visiting the homepage. This caused persistent HTTP 400 (error
code 400016) for all users.
Changes:
- _ensure_cookies(): add three-level priority — config file (saved by
--from-browser) → live Chrome cookies via browser_cookie3 → homepage
fallback. The homepage-only approach only ever got acw_tc (anti-DDoS
token), never xq_a_token.
- _get_json(): switch User-Agent from "agent-reach/1.0" to a real Chrome
UA, and add Referer: https://xueqiu.com/ to all API requests.
- get_hot_posts(): replace the defunct /statuses/hot/listV3.json endpoint
(returns empty body) with the v4 public timeline endpoint; correctly
parse item.data as a JSON string to extract author, text, and likes.
- cookie_extract.py: add Xueqiu to PLATFORM_SPECS and configure_from_browser
so that `agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome` now also saves
Xueqiu cookies (only when xq_a_token is present).
- check(): improve error message to direct users to --from-browser instead
of suggesting a proxy.
- Fix urllib.parse.quote usage (was using urllib.request.quote).
- Update tier and backends description to reflect cookie requirement.
- Add 2 new tests: cookie loading from config, Referer/UA header verification.
- Update docs: README, install guide, troubleshooting, SKILL.md, CHANGELOG.
- Add 'agent-reach skill --install/--uninstall' command for explicit skill management
- Make 'agent-reach doctor' auto-install skill if not present (fixes#154)
- Add format_xhs_result() to strip bloated XHS JSON to essential fields (fixes#134)
- Add 'agent-reach format xhs' CLI command (pipe mcporter output to clean it)
- Update SKILL.md with XHS formatter usage tip
- Add tests for both features (11 new tests, 73/73 total pass)

* feat: add Xueqiu (雪球) channel for stock quotes and community posts
Add a Tier 0 (zero-config) channel for Xueqiu, China's popular stock
market and investment community platform. Uses auto-generated session
cookies via http.cookiejar — no login required.
Supported methods:
- get_stock_quote(symbol) — real-time quotes (A/HK/US markets)
- search_stock(query) — search by name or code
- get_hot_posts(limit) — trending community posts
- get_hot_stocks(limit, stock_type) — popular stocks leaderboard
Inspired by https://github.com/jackwener/opencli xueqiu implementation.

- Replace xreach CLI with bird (@steipete/bird) as Twitter/X backend
- bird uses AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars (simpler than xreach's session.json)
- Accept both 'bird' and 'birdx' binary names
- Remove version detection logic (bird v0.8.0 is the baseline)
- Write credentials.env to ~/.config/bird/ for easy sourcing
- Keep xfetch session.json sync for backward compatibility
- Update SKILL.md commands: bird search/read/user-tweets/thread
- Update install/uninstall to use npm @steipete/bird
- All 52 tests pass
Reddit API requires a non-empty User-Agent header per its API rules.
Without it, the JSON endpoint returns 403 even when Reddit is reachable,
causing doctor to falsely report the channel as unavailable.
Changes:
- Add _reddit_reachable() helper that probes Reddit JSON API with UA
- doctor check() now distinguishes 'actually unreachable' from 'no proxy'
- Users on home IPs get 'ok' when Reddit is reachable; warn only on real failure
Fixes#168
- Replace brittle '"status": "ok"' string match with proper JSON parsing
in _mcporter_status_ok(). Handles Windows BOM, CRLF line endings, and
whitespace variations that caused false negatives on Windows + mcporter 0.7.3.
- Fallback to normalised string matching for backward compatibility.
- Extend config-get timeout to 15 s and list timeout to 30 s on Windows
(unchanged on Linux/macOS: 5 s / 10 s).
Fixes#159
* feat(channels): add V2EX support via public API
V2EX provides a public JSON API that requires no authentication.
This PR adds:
- agent_reach/channels/v2ex.py: V2EXChannel (tier=0, zero-config)
- can_handle() matches v2ex.com URLs
- check() verifies API reachability via urllib (no extra deps)
- Register V2EXChannel in channels/__init__.py
- SKILL.md: add V2EX section with curl examples for hot topics,
node browsing, topic detail, replies, and user info
- tests/test_channels.py: URL matching + mocked ok/warn check tests
V2EX API endpoints used:
GET /api/v2/topics/hot — hot topics
GET /api/topics/show.json — node topics / topic detail
GET /api/replies/show.json — topic replies
GET /api/members/show.json — user info
* feat(channels): expand V2EX channel with data-fetching methods
Add get_hot_topics, get_node_topics, get_topic, get_user, and search
methods to V2EXChannel using stdlib urllib only (no new dependencies).
Update unit tests and SKILL.md with Python call examples.
* feat(v2ex): add data fetching methods to V2EXChannel
Config class writes YAML (config.yaml), but xiaoyuzhou.py, cli.py, and
transcribe.sh were hardcoded to read config.json (JSON format). Users who
configured groq-key via 'agent-reach configure' would not have their key
detected because the wrong file was being read.
Fixes#128 (related to config loading)

xreach-cli v0.3.2 added:
- extractTweetText() preferring note_tweet.text for long tweets
- X Article URL support (/article/ path)
Previously, doctor reported 'ok' even when the user had v0.3.0/v0.3.1
installed, silently failing to read longform tweets. Now check() reads
`xreach --version` and returns a warn with upgrade instructions if the
version is below 0.3.2.
Closes#126

Fixes#128
Two bugs:
1. doctor warn message said 'agent-reach configure groq-api-key' but the
actual CLI arg is 'groq-key' (see cli.py:75 choices list and :993 handler).
Same typo existed in cli.py _install_xiaoyuzhou_deps() output.
2. check() had a logic flaw: the inner 'if not has_key' was nested inside
'if not os.environ.get(...)', so when GROQ_API_KEY env var was absent but
config.json read succeeded, the outer condition never triggered the warning.
Refactored to a flat has_key variable — cleaner and correct.
Verified: 36/36 tests pass, manual unit tests confirm warn uses 'groq-key'
and ok is returned when groq_api_key is present in config.json.

yt-dlp now requires an external JS runtime (deno or Node.js) for YouTube.
Since agent-reach already installs Node.js, we configure yt-dlp to use it:
1. cli.py: install writes '--js-runtimes node' to ~/.config/yt-dlp/config
2. youtube.py: doctor checks JS runtime availability and config
3. SKILL.md: updated YouTube section with accurate troubleshooting
Bilibili note: 412 errors are IP-based (needs proxy), not cookie-related.
Fixes#47
