"""Drift canary for the browser write path.
WHY THIS EXISTS: on 2026-07-21 X renamed its compose control and our sends silently went to 0/2
WITH false success claims. No code of ours changed. A passing test suite is a snapshot; sites move
underneath it, so the only way a coverage claim stays true is to re-prove it against the live site
on a schedule and shout the day it breaks.
WHAT IT DOES: per site, one full round trip on the user's own account, then cleans up after itself:
post a unique marker -> confirm the receipt -> delete it -> confirm it is gone
A site "passes" only if the post was receipt-verified AND the cleanup verified gone. Anything else
is drift, reported with the stage it died at.
SAFETY:
- Never runs by itself. No cron, no import side effects; a human or a CI job invokes it.
- --dry (default) posts NOTHING: it exercises discovery only, so it is safe anywhere.
- --live is required to actually post, and every post is deleted in the same run.
- Markers are random and carry no removal words ("delete"/"remove" in a payload trips the
removal classifier and makes the send path stand down, which cost us a confusing hour once).
- Exits 1 on drift so a scheduler can alert on it.
USAGE
python scripts/browser_canary.py # discovery only, posts nothing
python scripts/browser_canary.py --live # real round trip, self-cleaning
python scripts/browser_canary.py --live --sites x,reddit
(backend must be running; set OSW_CANARY_BASE if it is not on :8326)
