bvandeusen 8243740a04 fix(subscribestar): inject 18_plus_agreement_generic age cookie to bypass server gate
Operator-flagged 2026-05-27: subscribestar source check aborted with
`AbortExtraction: HTTP redirect to .../age_confirmation_warning`. The
captured `_personalization_id` cookie in the browser-stored file had
expired (annual rotation), and the user could not realistically refresh
it: SubscribeStar's frontend JS uses localStorage to suppress the
age-confirmation popup once dismissed, so a logged-in revisit doesn't
re-show the popup and the server-side cookie is never re-issued.

gallery-dl's own login flow (which FC doesn't exercise — cookies come
from the extension instead) sidesteps this by manually setting
`18_plus_agreement_generic=true` on `.subscribestar.adult`. The server
accepts that as the age-confirmation marker.

`credential_service._augment_cookies(platform, netscape)` mirrors that
behavior: when the materialized cookies file is for subscribestar and
the age cookie isn't already present, append a synthetic line for
`.subscribestar.adult` with name=`18_plus_agreement_generic` value=`true`
and a far-future expiry. No-op for other platforms; no-op if the cookie
is already present (idempotent for manual pastes / extension captures
that happen to include it).

Three new tests pin: (a) injection fires for subscribestar, preserves
existing cookies; (b) idempotent when already present (no double
injection); (c) does NOT fire for non-subscribestar platforms (Patreon
etc. don't get a foreign-domain cookie).

Not a curator handling bug per se — the extension faithfully captured
what the browser had. This is mirroring a documented gallery-dl
workaround so the cookies-via-extension auth path doesn't degrade as the
server-side cookie expires.

FabledCurator

Self-hosted media curation — gallery, ML tagging, and subscription-driven downloading in one app. Part of the FabledSword family.

Combines what was ImageRepo (gallery, ML, importer) and GallerySubscriber (gallery-dl wrapper, subscriptions, credential capture) into a single product.

Status

Pre-v1. Not yet functional.

Quick start

For local development and testing, just:

docker compose up -d
# UI: http://localhost:8080

That uses sane dev defaults baked into docker-compose.yml and the dev override (docker-compose.override.yml, auto-merged) — local builds, DEBUG logging, exposed Postgres + Redis ports on the host. No .env required.

For a production-like deployment, override the dev defaults via shell env or a .env file (see .env.example for the variable names) and use:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
# (skips the override so containers pull registry images)

Deployment posture

FabledCurator is designed to run inside a self-hosted homelab environment over plain HTTP. If you want TLS, terminate it at your reverse proxy. The app does not generate certificates, redirect to HTTPS, or set HSTS.

CI / Forgejo setup

The repo's workflows expect:

  • Runner label python-ci — a Forgejo runner with Python 3.14, ruff, and Node 22 pre-installed. Both ci.yml and build.yml use this label. The runner image (runner-base:python-ci) is built from CI-Runner/CI-python/ in the operator's workspace; make push from that directory builds and pushes a new image when toolchain pins change.

  • Repo secret RELEASE_TOKEN — a Forgejo PAT with the following scopes:

    • write:package + read:package — for docker push to git.fabledsword.com
    • write:release — for future release-cutting workflows
    • write:issue — for future issue-management automation

    Generate at https://git.fabledsword.com/user/settings/applications. The injected GITHUB_TOKEN cannot be used because it lacks write:package.
