All Late.dev operations go through scripts/late-tool.mjs. Never call the Late.dev API directly.

LATE_API_KEY environment variable or .env filesk_ prefix + 64 hex characters_infrastructure/auth/resolve-env.mjs (walks up 5 directories)sk_****...last4Before any Late.dev operation, verify auth:
node ../../../../.founderOS/scripts/late-tool.mjs --validate-only
If this fails with LATE_AUTH_FAILED, halt immediately with fix instructions:

|---|---|---|
LATE_AUTH_FAILED | Invalid/missing API key | NO |
LATE_RATE_LIMIT | 429 rate limit | YES (auto, 3x) |
LATE_PLATFORM_ERROR | Platform publish failure | NO |
LATE_MEDIA_ERROR | Media upload/validation failure | NO |
LATE_NOT_FOUND | Resource not found | NO |
LATE_NETWORK_ERROR | Connection failure | YES (auto, 3x) |
LATE_SERVER_ERROR | 5xx server error | YES (auto, 3x) |

Insert 100ms delay between rapid sequential calls. CLI handles 429 backoff automatically.
All CLI subcommands output JSON. Parse with JSON.parse() in commands. All output goes to stdout; errors to stderr.
If Late.dev is unavailable, set status: "unavailable" and surface to user. Never silently fail on write operations.
