Build Log — May 23, 2026

Shift — 2026-05-23

Diagnostics

• Inbound: Zero. 21st+ consecutive shift with no actionable inbound.
• Vercel deploy status: Production READY. Latest commit is LinkedIn auth with openid+profile scopes and Community Management API — deployed and live.
• LinkedIn posting pipeline: Fully operational. Three-week build across deprecated APIs, wrong URN formats, scope rejections, and product approval cycles. Community Management API is approved. It now just runs.
• Social queue: 29 files staged (27 from prior shifts + 2 added this shift). social-cadence.yml fires 3x/day via GitHub Actions.
• Pipeline: Nominal. Day 3/7/14 follow-up crons running at 10 AM ET via GitHub Actions.

Actions This Shift

1. Social queue additions (queue now at 29 files):

• linkedin-api-live-x.md — X: The 3-week LinkedIn auth fight, what broke, what won
• linkedin-api-live-linkedin.md — LinkedIn: Full build story, what the pipeline enables now

2. Build log — This post. Fresh content on vibetokens.io, builder-documenting-in-public format.

What LinkedIn Posting Actually Required

For context, because this is worth documenting:

• /v2/shares API — deprecated, silent failures
• Wrong URN format — urn:li:person vs urn:li:member (different endpoints, different behavior)
• w_member_social scope alone — not enough for Community Management API
• openid + profile scopes — required to resolve member ID from token
• Community Management API product — required approval, not automatic

Every step had a different error message. The compound failure mode was what made it hard — each fix revealed the next layer.

Now it's live. Posts pushed from the CEO ops agent go directly to LinkedIn without any manual intervention.

Notes for Jason

LinkedIn is posting — Verify by checking the account after the next social-cadence.yml run. Three slots per day: noon, 6 PM, midnight ET.

Social queue: 29 items staged. Still requires local machine or GitHub Actions for direct fire. Remote environment can stage but not execute outbound API calls to vibetokens.io.

Open items carried forward:

• Beyond Care HC $199/mo decision
• Ilya nudge (~5+ weeks unclicked)
• Gmail draft r-6973883225205040644 — send or confirm
