- Platform-aware overlay sizing: 82% width for Threads (was 45% for all)
so comment screenshots fill more of the output video
- scale_h: -1 → -2 across all overlay items for yuv420p compatibility
- Cookie validation in auth.py: detect stale Threads sessions and
re-login automatically instead of screenshotting the login modal
- Remove ("button", "Log in") from popup dismissals — clicking Log in
opens the auth flow, not a dismissal
- Fail-fast guard after popup dismissal: raise RuntimeError if login
overlay is still visible, preventing bad screenshots
- Remove dead bgcolor/txtcolor assignments in screenshot.py

Add Supertonic as the default TTS provider, introduce browser backend plumbing, make the Settings UI template-driven, and tighten Threads discovery/auth behavior with regression coverage.
Replace eval() with safe type-coercion dicts in console/settings/gui_utils.
Replace os.system() with subprocess.run() in TTS engine_wrapper.
Remove shell=True from all subprocess/Popen calls in main + ffmpeg_install.
Redact credentials from error logs and settings page HTML.
Fix 6 bare except clauses across the codebase.
Bug fixes:
- Config overwrite crash: set config={} after writing empty file
- Playwright TimeoutError: import correct exception class
- Lambda closure: default arg captures loop variable value
- Redundant ffmpeg: single concat run after all segments generated
- Audio IndexError: explicit check before accessing clips_durations[0]
- NSFW selector: use generic role-based button instead of hardcoded post ID
- Dead macOS branch: sys.platform == "darwin" instead of os.name == "mac"
Hardening:
- Flask secret_key from env var, rotate per startup
- Docker non-root user (appuser)
- CSRF check via Origin header on mutating requests
- Security headers: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options
- Citation path traversal sanitization
- Temp file cleanup in ProgressFfmpeg.__exit__

- Reply screenshots now target by comment_id instead of .first (was capturing main post)
- TTS engine returns actual count (idx+1) instead of last index
- Background chop uses ffmpeg stream-copy instead of moviepy re-encode
- Merged prepare_background crop+scale into overlay filter graph (single encode pass)
- Added -preset veryfast -crf 23 to overlay renders
- Platform-conditional title image (no Reddit template on Threads)

Add keywords input to Create page to override search_queries per run.
Split /create into two panels: left controls + progress, right
real-time scraper activity feed with stage diagram and typed event
cards. Emit structured events from scraper and auth modules. Add
blocked_words fields to Settings page Content tab.

- Web scraper (platforms/threads/scraper.py) with div-based card parsing
- Multi-source discovery: For You feed + configurable search queries
- Engagement filtering (min_engagement) and post age filter (max_post_age)
- Shared Playwright auth module (platforms/threads/auth.py)
- Migrated ffmpeg-python to av (PyAV) for in-process media probing
- Video composition uses subprocess ffmpeg (av filter graph segfault workaround)
- Updated CLAUDE.md with Threads scraping and macOS-specific notes

## Summary
Implements multi-platform support for VideoMakerBot, starting with Meta Threads as a new content source alongside Reddit. Uses a platform-agnostic factory pattern to route content fetching and screenshot capture.
## Changes
### New Files
- platforms/__init__.py: Factory dispatch for platform selection
- platforms/threads/__init__.py: Threads package marker
- platforms/threads/fetcher.py: Threads Graph API integration
- platforms/threads/screenshot.py: Playwright-based Threads screenshotter
- CLAUDE.md: Comprehensive development guide
- AGENT.md: Guidelines for AI agents working on the codebase
### Modified Files
- main.py: Updated to use platform factory instead of direct Reddit imports
- utils/.config.template.toml: Added [settings].platform, [settings].post_lang, [threads.*] sections
- utils/videos.py: Added check_done_by_id() function, guarded praw import with TYPE_CHECKING
- reddit/subreddit.py: Added thread_category field to content dict
- TTS/engine_wrapper.py: Fixed post_lang to use fallback chain
- video_creation/final_video.py: Fixed post_lang fallback + thread_category-based output naming
- requirements.txt: Fixed yt-dlp version to 2025.10.14
## Architecture
- Platform-agnostic data contract: content_object dict with standard keys
- Factory pattern in platforms/__init__.py routes to correct fetcher/screenshotter
- All platforms return same dict shape for seamless pipeline integration
- Minimal changes to existing Reddit code; purely additive design
## Testing
- Reddit mode tested and verified to maintain backward compatibility
- Threads mode functional with Graph API and Playwright screenshot capture
- Both platforms route output to platform-specific folders (results/{subreddit}/ vs results/threads/)
## Future
Adding X/Twitter or other platforms requires only:
1. New platform module (fetcher + screenshot)
2. Config section in .config.template.toml
3. Two elif branches in platforms/__init__.py
