🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

OAuth Token Issues

# Symptoms: 401 Unauthorized errors
# Auto-refresh usually handles this, but if manual re-auth needed:
Visit: https://tweety.rakeshroushan.com

# Check token status
poetry run python -c "
from integrations.twitter_oauth import TokenStorage
from datetime import datetime
tokens = TokenStorage('tokens.json').load_tokens('oauth_user')
if tokens:
    expires = datetime.fromisoformat(tokens['expires_at'])
    print(f'Token expires: {expires}')
    print(f'Refresh available: {bool(tokens.get(\"refresh_token\"))}')
else:
    print('No tokens found')
"

Email Delivery Issues

🚀 Recent Updates (September 2025)

🔥 Critical Fixes (September 7, 2025) - ALL RESOLVED

📧 Email Content Truncation Issue - FIXED

Problem: Post ideas were truncated to 270 chars + "..." in emails, losing full content
Root Cause: Content generator was using truncated version for both emails AND posting
Solution: Implemented dual content strategy:
- post['content'] - Full original content for email display
- post['posting_content'] - Truncated version for Twitter posting (≤280 chars)
Files Modified: ai/content_generator.py, bot/client.py

💬 Reply Options Missing - FIXED

Problem: Reply options weren't appearing in emails despite being generated
Root Cause: Data format error - test email was passing dict instead of list
Solution: Fixed data structure in email_pipeline/pipeline.py line 512
Result: 3 contextual reply suggestions now appear with viral scores and explanations

🤖 Bot Not Posting - FIXED

Problem: Bot was generating content but not posting to Twitter
Root Cause: Rate limiting too restrictive (1 hour) + validation checking wrong content length
Solutions Applied:
- Rate limit: 3600s → 300s (1 hour → 5 minutes) in integrations/twitter_api.py
- Validation: Now checks posting_content length instead of original content
- Enhanced error logging with both original and posting content lengths
Files Modified: integrations/twitter_api.py, bot/client.py

✅ Technical Implementation Details

Dual Content Strategy: Preserves full content for emails while ensuring Twitter compliance
Smart Validation: Uses appropriate content length for each destination
Enhanced Logging: Detailed debugging for content validation failures
Rate Limit Optimization: Better balance between responsiveness and API compliance
