description

Drive Igor's already-authenticated Google Chrome via AppleScript for login-walled dashboards (Stripe Payment Links, Apollo web, Play Console, LinkedIn, ASC). NEVER use Playwright MCP as the source of truth for "am I logged in?" — Playwright is a separate browser profile without Chrome cookies. Trigger when: Stripe, payment links, buy.stripe.com, dashboard.stripe.com, "logged into Chrome", login wall, Playwright got login page but user says they're signed in, Apollo web UI, or any task needs the real Chrome session. Slash: /drive-logged-in-chrome. Cross-ref: use-existing-browser-sessions.

Drive logged-in Google Chrome (not Playwright)

Hard lesson (2026-07-14): Playwright MCP navigated to Stripe and saw login. Igor's Chrome was already open on Payment Links – ThumbGate (acct_1RNcJ1GGBpd520QY). Agents who trust Playwright alone invent "blocked / need login" theater.

Decision tree

Need auth-walled site?
  1. osascript: list Chrome tabs for stripe / apollo / target domain
  2. If tab exists → activate that tab (inherits session)
  3. If not → open URL in existing Chrome window (same profile, inherits cookies)
  4. Drive via: AppleScript `execute active tab javascript "..."`  OR Chrome CDP if 9222 up
  5. ONLY if Chrome has no session (screenshot/login form on REAL Chrome) → report session missing
     — still do NOT ask for password; invoke use-existing-browser-sessions

Playwright is OK for: public pages, form scrapes that don't need Igor's cookies.
Playwright is NOT OK for: "prove we're logged into Stripe/Apollo/Play/LinkedIn."

Stripe (ThumbGate) — cash path

Item	Value
Account	ThumbGate acct_1RNcJ1GGBpd520QY
Payment Links list	https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1RNcJ1GGBpd520QY/payment-links
Offer map (private)	business_os/revenue/stripe-offer-map-*.tsv

Live link recovery (do this BEFORE claiming mid-tier pay links are dead)

1. Activate Chrome tab matching dashboard.stripe.com + payment-links.
2. JS-scan rows for product names / amounts ($499, $1,500, $3,000).
3. Open each plink_… detail URL; extract https://buy.stripe.com/… from page text.
4. curl -L -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' each URL — require 200.
5. Write verified URLs into the private stripe offer map (status=ready). Never leave placeholders like buy.stripe.com/Diagnostic (those 403).

Known good product names on Dashboard (as of 2026-07-14):

• $499 → "AI Agent Reliability Audit" (map as Agent Reliability Diagnostic)
• $1,500 → "AI Performance Marketing Audit (1hr Report)" (map as Hardening Sprint — amount match)
• $3,000 → "Partner Pilot (Full)"

AppleScript snippets

List auth tabs

tell application "Google Chrome"
  set out to ""
  repeat with w in windows
    repeat with t in tabs of w
      set u to URL of t
      if u contains "stripe" or u contains "apollo" or u contains "linkedin" then
        set out to out & u & " | " & (title of t) & linefeed
      end if
    end repeat
  end repeat
  return out
end tell

Activate Stripe Payment Links tab

tell application "Google Chrome"
  activate
  repeat with w in windows
    set i to 0
    repeat with t in tabs of w
      set i to i + 1
      if (URL of t) contains "dashboard.stripe.com" and (URL of t) contains "payment-links" then
        set active tab index of w to i
        set index of w to 1
        return URL of t
      end if
    end repeat
  end repeat
end tell

Execute JS in active tab

osascript -e 'tell application "Google Chrome" to execute active tab of front window javascript "(() => { return document.title; })()"'

Extract buy.stripe.com from payment-link detail page

(() => {
  const m = document.body.innerText.match(/https:\/\/buy\.stripe\.com\/[A-Za-z0-9]+/g) || [];
  return JSON.stringify({ url: location.href, buy: [...new Set(m)] });
})()

Anti-patterns (directive breach)

• Claiming "Stripe needs login" after only Playwright saw /login.
• Asking Igor to "open Stripe and paste the link" when Chrome already has the dashboard.
• Writing buy.stripe.com/Diagnostic style placeholders into the offer map.
• Storing Stripe secret keys in skills/repo/chat.

Self-check before saying "blocked on auth"

• Listed real Chrome tabs for the domain?
• Tried open-in-existing-Chrome (not Playwright)?
• Extracted buy links + curl 200?
• Updated private offer map?
