# 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
