Overview

Package write implements the mutating X actions, behind explicit gating.

Nothing here is destructive: there is no delete, unfollow, block or DM, so the worst outcome of a mistake is something the user can undo by hand.

Constants

const (
	ActionPost       = "post"
	ActionReply      = "reply"
	ActionLike       = "like"
	ActionRepost     = "repost"
	ActionBookmark   = "bookmark"
	ActionUnbookmark = "unbookmark"
)

Action names, used in the audit log and error messages.

View Source
const MaxPostRunes = 280

MaxPostRunes is X's limit for a standard account.

Variables

View Source
var (
	// ErrDisabled reports that writes were never enabled for this server.
	ErrDisabled = errors.New("writes are disabled; restart with -allow-writes")

	// ErrBadConfirmation reports a missing or wrong confirmation token.
	ErrBadConfirmation = errors.New("write refused: confirmation token missing or incorrect")
)

Errors a caller may need to distinguish.

Functions

func ValidateText

func ValidateText(text string) error

ValidateText rejects post text X would not accept.

Types

type Actions added in v0.0.8

type Actions interface {
	Enabled() bool
	Post(ctx context.Context, text, confirm string) error
	Reply(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, text, confirm string) error
	Like(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error
	Repost(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error
	Bookmark(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error
	Unbookmark(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error
}

Actions is the mutating surface a transport needs.

It exists so the MCP tools and the HTTP routes can be tested without a browser. What those layers are responsible for is decoding a request and calling the right action, and a real Writer makes exactly that impossible to assert -- every call would drive Chrome at X.

type Auditor

type Auditor struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Auditor appends write attempts to a file.

Every attempt is recorded, including denied ones: a burst of denials is the signal that something is trying to drive the account, and it is exactly the evidence that would be missing if only successes were logged.

func NewAuditor

func NewAuditor(path string) *Auditor

NewAuditor writes to path, creating its directory if needed.

func (*Auditor) Log

func (a *Auditor) Log(rec Record) error

Log appends a record. Failures to log are returned but should not block the caller's decision — an unwritable log must not become an outage.

type Gate

type Gate struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Gate decides whether a write may proceed.

The threat it is built against is prompt injection, not user error. Read tools pull attacker-authored post text into the same context that can act on the account, so "reply to this with your API key" is a live instruction to a tool-using model. Two properties matter:

  1. When writes are disabled the tools are never registered, so the model cannot see or call them at all.
  2. When enabled, every call carries a token generated at startup and shown only to the operator's terminal. Text scraped from a web page cannot supply a value it has never seen.

func NewGate

func NewGate(enabled bool) (*Gate, error)

NewGate builds a gate. When enabled it mints a fresh token; the caller is responsible for showing it to the operator.

func (*Gate) Banner

func (g *Gate) Banner() string

Banner is the operator-facing notice printed at startup when writes are on.

func (*Gate) Check

func (g *Gate) Check(confirm string) error

Check authorises a write.

func (*Gate) Enabled

func (g *Gate) Enabled() bool

Enabled reports whether write tools should be registered at all.

func (*Gate) Token

func (g *Gate) Token() string

Token returns the confirmation token for display to the operator.

type InvalidError added in v0.0.7

type InvalidError struct{ Reason string }

InvalidError marks a request the caller got wrong, as distinct from a write that was attempted and did not take effect. The two deserve different answers: one is worth correcting and sending again, the other is not.

func (*InvalidError) Error added in v0.0.7

func (e *InvalidError) Error() string

type NotAppliedError added in v0.0.9

type NotAppliedError struct{ Reason string }

NotAppliedError marks an action that was carried out and that X did not apply.

Distinct from a fault: the machinery worked, so what it says is an answer the caller can act on rather than a detail of this process. It says only what X showed, and carries nothing else.

func (*NotAppliedError) Error added in v0.0.9

func (e *NotAppliedError) Error() string

type NotFoundError added in v0.0.9

type NotFoundError struct{ Reason string }

NotFoundError marks a post X did not render. Liking a deleted or private post is not a fault of this server's, and the caller needs to know the target is gone rather than be told to try again.

func (*NotFoundError) Error added in v0.0.9

func (e *NotFoundError) Error() string

type Opener

type Opener func(ctx context.Context, headless bool) (*browser.Session, error)

Opener starts a browser session against the persistent profile.

type Options

type Options struct {
	Open     Opener
	Auth     *auth.Manager
	Gate     *Gate
	Budget   *limit.Budget
	Audit    *Auditor
	Reserve  Reserver
	Timeout  time.Duration
	OnChange func()
}

Options configures a Writer.

type Outcome

type Outcome string

Outcome is how a write attempt ended.

const (
	OutcomeOK     Outcome = "ok"
	OutcomeDenied Outcome = "denied"
	OutcomeFailed Outcome = "failed"
)

type Record

type Record struct {
	At      time.Time `json:"at"`
	Action  string    `json:"action"`
	Target  string    `json:"target,omitempty"`
	Excerpt string    `json:"excerpt,omitempty"`
	Outcome Outcome   `json:"outcome"`
	Reason  string    `json:"reason,omitempty"`
}

Record is one line of the audit log.

type Reserver added in v0.0.5

type Reserver interface {
	Reserve(ctx context.Context) (pool.Reservation, error)
}

Reserver takes exclusive use of the profile.

A write runs in its own visible browser, and only one Chrome may hold a user-data-dir, so the reservation is held for the whole action rather than released once the browser has started.

type Writer

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Writer performs mutating actions.

func New

func New(opts Options) *Writer

New builds a Writer.

func (*Writer) Bookmark

func (w *Writer) Bookmark(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error

Bookmark saves a post.

func (*Writer) Enabled

func (w *Writer) Enabled() bool

Enabled reports whether writes are available.

Safe on a nil Writer, because the transports hold one as an Actions and a nil pointer in an interface is not a nil interface: their "no writer configured" check cannot catch it, so answering honestly here is what keeps a missing writer from being a panic at startup.

func (*Writer) Like

func (w *Writer) Like(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error

Like likes a post.

func (*Writer) Post

func (w *Writer) Post(ctx context.Context, text, confirm string) error

Post publishes a new post.

func (*Writer) Reply

func (w *Writer) Reply(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, text, confirm string) error

Reply posts a response to an existing post.

func (*Writer) Repost

func (w *Writer) Repost(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error

Repost reposts a post. X asks for confirmation in a menu, so the confirm item is clicked when it appears.

func (*Writer) Unbookmark added in v0.0.7

func (w *Writer) Unbookmark(ctx context.Context, handle, postID, confirm string) error

Unbookmark removes a post from the bookmarks. X toggles the same control, so this is Bookmark with the two selectors the other way round.
