[DEPRECATED] Chip Fetcher → adom-chip-fetcher

@@ -0,0 +1,355 @@+# adom-desktop API patterns (chip-fetcher playbook)++Trusted clicks, popup auto-tracking, smart-pick, browser_fetch_url, pull_file. Read this when you need to drive a pup browser tab beyond the basic `browser_navigate` + `browser_eval` couplet.++## Trusted click via `browser_input_dispatch` (adom-desktop ≥ v1.4.7)++When a click "lands but does nothing" — that's almost always because the framework / vendor JS gates the handler on `event.isTrusted`, and page-side `dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(...))` is `isTrusted: false`. **`browser_input_dispatch` routes through Chromium CDP `Input.dispatchMouseEvent` / `dispatchKeyEvent`** — events have `isTrusted: true`, so framework handlers (React/Vue/Svelte) and most vendor anti-automation gates actually fire.++```bash+# Click by selector (preferred — uses element bounding rect + scrollIntoView)+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "type":"click",+  "selector":"button.wg-button--primary"+}'++# Click by viewport coords+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "type":"click",+  "x":860, "y":803+}'++# Type into an input+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "type":"type",+  "text":"DMG2305UX-7",+  "selector":"input[name=search]"+}'++# Press a key+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "type":"key",+  "key":"Enter"+}'++# Mouse move (human-like trajectory before a click)+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "type":"move",+  "x":400, "y":500, "steps":10+}'+```++Optional fields: `tabId` (defaults to active tab), `button` (`left`|`right`|`middle`), `clickCount` (2 for double-click), `delay` (ms between mousedown/mouseup or between keystrokes).++**Use `browser_input_dispatch` when:**+- Vendor "Generate" / "Download" / "Submit" buttons no-op on `browser_eval` clicks+- Login forms behind framework gates+- Modal dismissal needs `key:"Escape"` and DOM-level dispatch fails+- Any time you'd say "I clicked it but nothing happened"++`browser_eval`-side click is still fine for buttons that DO fire (most CSE Download Model buttons, simple modal openers). `browser_input_dispatch` is the upgrade path when those silently no-op.++## Popup tabs auto-track in `browser_list_tabs` (adom-desktop ≥ v1.4.7)++Tabs the page itself spawns (`window.open()`, `target="_blank"` form submits, `<a target="_blank">` clicks) used to be invisible. Now they auto-track:++```bash+adom-desktop browser_list_tabs '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher"}'+# → tabs: [+#     { tabId:"tab-1", opener:"user",  openerTabId:null,    url:"..." },+#     { tabId:"tab-2", opener:"popup", openerTabId:"tab-1", url:"..." }+#   ]+```++`opener:"user"` = chip-fetcher opened it. `opener:"popup"` = the page spawned it; `openerTabId` names the tab that triggered the popup.++Popups don't auto-focus — use `browser_switch_tab` to make one active before screenshots, or pass `tabId` to `browser_eval` / `browser_screenshot` to target it without switching.++## Clicks may open the result in a NEW TAB++**Every "Download Datasheet" / "Generate" / "Open PDF" / "View Document" click on a vendor site can spawn a new browser tab.** Common sites where this fires: WAGO ("Generate Datasheet" → PDF in new tab), Microchip, ST, Renesas, ADI, even some TI app-note rows.++**The rule, applied after every click that "should" produce a download/PDF/CAD file:**++1. **Wait ~2-5s** for the popup to fully load (it may be a redirect chain).+2. **`browser_list_tabs`** — look for a new entry with `opener:"popup"`. The `openerTabId` confirms which tab triggered it.+3. **`browser_eval` (or `browser_screenshot`) with `tabId` set to the popup's `tabId`** — interact with the popup directly without switching the active tab.+4. **For a PDF popup**: grab `location.href` from the popup, then use `browser_fetch_url` (Mode A or B). Do NOT use in-page `fetch(location.href)` on a Chrome PDF Viewer popup — it returns the PDF Viewer HTML wrapper (~200 KB stub), not the binary.+5. **`browser_close_tab` with the popup's `tabId`** to clean up after.++This also applies to "Buy" → distributor checkout, "View 3D" → embedded viewer in new tab, "Open Application Note" → PDF in new tab.++Direct user pushback: *"wago opens the datasheet in a new tab, so you could just see that tab and then save it locally"* + *"add that to the skill that this could happen on any website."*++## Smart-pick (adom-desktop ≥ v1.4.9)++When a selector matches multiple elements, the relay no longer silently picks document-order first.

Always sanity-check `clickedText` against expectation before assuming success.++### Vue-Toastification false-positive workaround++Pages using Vue-Toastification (WAGO and others) ship empty `<div class="Vue-Toastification__container">` elements at `position:fixed; z-index:9999; height:100vh`. Smart-pick's >25%-viewport heuristic sees them as "modal." Result on WAGO: real Generate-Datasheet modal is missed, smart-pick reports `modalDetected:true insideModal:false pickStrategy:"visible-text-largest-no-modal-match"`, and falls back to area-tiebreak among page-level matches → clicks "Add to shopping cart" instead of "Generate data sheet."++**Workaround:** when `pickStrategy === "visible-text-largest-no-modal-match"` AND `modalDetected === true` AND the user can clearly see the button on screen, fall back to coords:++```bash+RECT=$(adom-desktop browser_eval "{\"sessionId\":\"$S\",\"expr\":\"(()=>{const b=document.querySelector('YOUR-SELECTOR'); if(!b)return null; const r=b.getBoundingClientRect(); return JSON.stringify({x:Math.round(r.left+r.width/2),y:Math.round(r.top+r.height/2)});})()\"}" | jq -r '.result')+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch "{\"sessionId\":\"$S\",\"type\":\"click\",\"x\":$(echo $RECT | jq .x),\"y\":$(echo $RECT | jq .y)}"+```++Modal-detection `isPlausibleModal` filter is fixed in v1.4.11 — empty containers correctly skipped.++## `browser_fetch_url` — pull bytes through the session (adom-desktop ≥ v1.4.9)++When a popup tab serves `application/pdf`, in-page `fetch(location.href)` returns Chrome's PDF Viewer HTML wrapper, NOT the binary. `browser_fetch_url` re-issues the request through the bridge's session context, bypassing the page render layer. **This is the canonical way to grab popup-PDF bytes.**++Three modes:++```bash+# Mode A — container-side write (preferred for chip-fetcher's library/)+adom-desktop browser_fetch_url '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "tabId":"tab-2",+  "url":"https://wago.priintcloud.com/datasheets/2601-3105/en",+  "saveTo":"/home/adom/project/chip-fetcher/library/WAGO-2601-3105/datasheet.pdf"+}'+# → {ok:true, savedTo:"/home/.../datasheet.pdf", savedToFilesystem:"container",+#    bytes:3798336, contentType:"application/pdf", status:200}++# Mode B — desktop-side write (drop a CAD bundle in user's Downloads)+adom-desktop browser_fetch_url '{+  "sessionId":"chip-fetcher",+  "tabId":"tab-2",+  "url":"https://...",+  "desktopSaveTo":"C:\\Users\\john\\Downloads\\bundle.zip"+}'++# Mode C — neither saveTo nor desktopSaveTo → bodyBase64 in response+#   (caller decides where to write; useful for files <50 MB)+```++### Combined recipe — vendor "Generate Datasheet" → popup → grab PDF++```bash+SESSION="chip-fetcher"+URL="https://www.wago.com/global/p/2601-3105"+OUT="/home/adom/project/chip-fetcher/library/WAGO-2601-3105/datasheet.pdf"++# 1.

Upgrading the desktop app reinstalls `plugins/puppeteer/server.js` on disk, but the existing `node.exe` keeps its old code loaded. Symptom: relay rejects new commands with `"Unknown command: <name>"` even though the binary's `--version` reports the new version.++```bash+ssh user@host "taskkill //f //im node.exe"+# then send any browser command to auto-respawn+adom-desktop browser_status '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher"}'+```++**Verification command after any adom-desktop upgrade:**+```bash+adom-desktop browser_input_dispatch '{"sessionId":"x","type":"click","x":1,"y":1}'+# Expected: {"ok":true,"dispatched":"click",…} or session-not-found+# WRONG: "Unknown command: browser_input_dispatch" — bridge is stale, kill node.exe.+```++## Cookie-banner auto-accept (run after every navigation)++The first thing chip-fetcher does on any new page is dismiss the cookie banner with "Accept All" — without being told, without asking the user, without thinking about it. Cookie banners block clicks (z-index gate) and break programmatic navigation.++```js+// snippet to use via browser_eval after every navigation+(()=>{+  const tries = (root) => {+    const btns = Array.from(root.querySelectorAll("button, a"));+    const re = /^(accept all|accept all cookies|accept|i agree|allow all|ok)$/i;+    const m = btns.find(b => re.test((b.textContent||"").trim()));+    if (m) { m.click(); return true; }+    return false;+  };+  if (tries(document)) return "accepted";+  // Walk shadow roots — Usercentrics et al. use them+  const hostsAttempted = new Set();+  const walk = (root) => {+    for (const el of root.querySelectorAll("*")) {+      if (el.shadowRoot && !hostsAttempted.has(el)) {+        hostsAttempted.add(el);+        if (tries(el.shadowRoot)) return true;+        if (walk(el.shadowRoot)) return true;+      }+    }+    return false;+  };+  return walk(document) ? "accepted-in-shadow" : "no-banner";+})()+```++Direct user quote: *"you're supposed to always accept their stupid cookie dialogs automatically"*. Never click "Reject", "Decline", "Manage preferences", or "Save settings" — those are slower and the user has explicitly ruled out anything but Accept All.++## Comprehensive page killer (cookies + surveys + modals)++Run this AFTER every `browser_navigate`, AND a second time after a 2-second delay (some popups load after first paint):++```js+const acceptRegex = /^(accept all|accept|allow all|i accept|got it|agree|ok|continue|yes)$/i;+const declineRegex = /^(not today|no thanks|maybe later|decline|close|dismiss|not now|no, thanks|cancel|skip|later)$/i;+Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button, a, [role=button]"))+  .filter(b => {+    const t = b.textContent.trim();+    return acceptRegex.test(t) || declineRegex.test(t);+  })+  .forEach(b => b.click());+// Click close X icons (cookie banners, modals, popups)+document.querySelectorAll("[aria-label*=close i], [class*=banner-close], [class*=modal-close], [class*=popup-close], #onetrust-close-btn-container button, #onetrust-accept-btn-handler, #surveyModal .close, [id*=survey] [class*=close]").forEach(b => b.click());+// Hide any survivors+document.querySelectorAll("[id*=survey], [class*=survey-modal], [class*=popup-modal], [aria-modal=true]:not([id^=mvOverlay])").forEach(el => el.style.display = "none");+document.body.style.overflow = "";+```++NXP, ST, ADI, and Microchip all have multiple modal overlays that compound: cookie banner + privacy banner + survey + chat widget.++## Pup profile name is SACRED++**Use `profile:"chip-fetcher"` and only `profile:"chip-fetcher"`.** Never `chip-fetcher-2`, `chip-fetcher-temp`, `cf-bust`, or any other variant. Each pup profile is an isolated Chrome user-data directory at `<adom-desktop>/plugins/puppeteer/profiles/<name>/` — switching names dumps you into a fresh profile with no cookies, no signed-in vendor accounts, no work-Chrome sync, no CSE login, nothing.++**Do not rotate profiles to bust Chrome's HTML cache.** That destroys vendor logins. Bust the cache the right way:+- Add a `?v=$(date +%s)` query string when reloading via `location.reload()` or `browser_navigate`.+- Run `chip-fetcher serve` on a different port and reopen — the proxy treats it as a new origin.+- Send `Cache-Control: no-store` headers from the chip-fetcher viewer's HTTP server.++If you've already broken the profile (vendor logins gone, Google account avatar missing in upper-right) the only recovery is the user re-signs into the work Chrome profile. Treat profile-rotation regressions as a P0 skill bug.++## Don't pile up pup tabs++**Reuse the existing tab. Don't open a new tab for every navigation.** Use `browser_navigate` (or `location.href = …` via `browser_eval`) when moving between part pages, search pages, or vendor sites. Only call `browser_open_tab` when you genuinely need two pages side-by-side. After a download fires and the zip is auto-pulled, close stale tabs with `browser_close_tab`.++Direct user quote: *"never open too many tabs cuz i'm seeing way too many"*. Tab clutter is also a perf hit — every chip-fetcher tab carries cookies, cached JS, and an open Cloudflare check, and after ~10 the pup window starts thrashing.++## adom-desktop commands you'll actually use++```bash+# Drive a browser tab+adom-desktop browser_navigate '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","url":"..."}'+adom-desktop browser_eval '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","expr":"..."}'+adom-desktop browser_screenshot '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","maxWidth":900}'+adom-desktop browser_raise_os_window '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher"}'++# Run shell on user's desktop (requires approval — first time per session)+adom-desktop shell_execute '{"command":"<cmd>","timeoutSeconds":30}'++# Pull a file from the user's desktop into the container+adom-desktop pull_file '{+  "filePaths": ["C:\\Users\\<USER>\\Downloads\\<file>"],+  "saveTo": "/home/adom/project/chip-fetcher/incoming"+}'+```

Every step has a reason — don't skip steps to "save the user time."++### 0. Confirm it's the right tool++Before you reach for pup-login, check the auth scheme:++- **HTTP Basic Auth** (CSE family, some niche vendor APIs) → use the **Credentials button** in the dashboard / `/api/credentials`. NOT pup-login.+- **Form login + cookie** (everything else in the catalog above) → pup-login.++If you're unsure, hit the download URL with `curl -I` — a `WWW-Authenticate: Basic` header means Basic Auth; a 302 to a `/login` or `/signin` page means form login.++### 1. Open the login page in the chip-fetcher pup session++```bash+# Replace <login-url> with the right entry from the alias table or known-EE-login catalog.+adom-desktop browser_navigate '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","profile":"chip-fetcher","url":"<login-url>"}'+adom-desktop browser_focus_window '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher"}'+```++Or the shorthand (covers the vendors in the alias table):++```bash+chip-fetcher login <alias>     # ultralib, snapeda, componentsearch, ti, st, nxp, microchip+```++Always pass `"profile":"chip-fetcher"` to `browser_navigate` — this is the cookie jar `cf-ul-fast.sh`, `cf-ul-pro.sh`, and `cf-cse-batch.sh` all read from.++### 2. Screenshot to confirm the page rendered++```bash+adom-desktop browser_screenshot '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","fullPage":false}'+```++Read the screenshot file. Confirm you see the email/password form, not a captcha-only landing or an error page.

Pre-tick the "Remember Me" / "Stay signed in" checkbox BEFORE the user types++**This step is mandatory, not optional.** The user shouldn't have to think about whether to check the box — pre-tick it for them so the cookie lands persistent (typically 30 days) instead of session-only (lost on pup process restart / container rebuild).++```bash+adom-desktop browser_eval '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","tabId":"tab-1","expr":"document.querySelectorAll(\"input[type=checkbox]\").forEach(cb=>{cb.checked=true; cb.dispatchEvent(new Event(\"change\",{bubbles:true}));})"}'+```++Naive but works on every form-login page in the catalog (UL Pro "Remember My Login", SnapEDA "Remember Me", TI "Stay signed in", etc.). On pages with multiple checkboxes (newsletter opt-in, ToS), pre-ticking all of them is fine — the user can untick if they care, and the persistent-session box gets the right value either way.++If the checkbox is custom-rendered (e.g., a styled `<button role="checkbox">`), the generic `input[type=checkbox]` selector misses it. Inspect via:++```bash+adom-desktop browser_eval '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","expr":"Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"label\")).filter(l=>/remember|stay signed|keep.*log/i.test(l.textContent)).map(l=>({text:l.textContent.trim().slice(0,40), html:l.outerHTML.slice(0,200)}))"}'+```++…and adjust the selector accordingly.++Direct user pushback (2026-05-04): *"why didn't you do that for me?"* — the user shouldn't have had to ask whether to check the box. Pre-tick by default.++### 3. Tell the user — verbatim shape, then OFFER TO FILL FOR THEM++The default move is to **offer to fill the form for them.** These are vendor CAD-download accounts (UL Pro, SnapEDA, CSE, my.ti.com, NXP MyNXP, Microchip, ST). They are not bank logins. The threat model is "if this leaks, the user emails support and resets their password." Treating them as sacred wastes the user's time on a fake security ritual — direct user pushback (2026-05-04): *"stop freaking out about passwords that are literally just for stupid websites that let you download a cad file. the electronics industry acts like they're a bank with these passwords. but they're not banks."*++Use this message shape (adapt the vendor name + URL):++> "Opened the **Ultra Librarian Pro** login in the chip-fetcher pup window with **Remember My Login** pre-ticked. If you've got an account, paste the email + password here and I'll fill it in for you. If you don't have one, click **Register** in the pup window."++If the user pastes credentials, **just fill the form and submit.** Don't lecture about chat-as-secret-store — that's adversarial in the wrong direction for vendor CAD accounts. (Real exception: for actual high-stakes credentials — bank, GitHub, internal infra, payment processor — keep the keychain ritual.)++If the user prefers to type creds themselves, that's also fine — they sign in in the pup window (which you've already pre-ticked), and you watch for the post-login redirect.++### 4. While you wait++Don't disappear. Useful work to do while the user signs in:++- Make sure `adom-desktop credential_set` will accept the host pattern you'll save under (e.g., `*.ultralibrarian.com`).+- Pre-build the smoke-test command — the exact `cf-ul-fast.sh <MPN>` or equivalent you'll run after sign-in succeeds, on a part you know previously hit a captcha.+- If the vendor is one with a `chip-fetcher login <alias>` shorthand but the alias table is missing it, add it.++### 5. Detect sign-in success++Don't ask the user "are you signed in?" — check yourself:++```bash+# Most form-login sites redirect away from /login on success. Check the current URL:+adom-desktop browser_eval '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","expr":"location.href"}' \+  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('result',''))"++# Or screenshot + visually check for the user's avatar / email in the upper-right.+adom-desktop browser_screenshot '{"sessionId":"chip-fetcher","fullPage":false}'+```++If `location.href` still contains `/login` or `/signin` after a reasonable wait, the user hasn't completed yet (or hit an error). Don't move on prematurely.++### 6. Save to chip-fetcher's Credentials vault (default) or OS keychain (for genuinely sensitive creds)++After sign-in succeeds, save the cred so a fresh container doesn't restart from scratch.++**For vendor CAD accounts (UL Pro, SnapEDA, CSE, my.ti.com, etc.) — the default — save to chip-fetcher's vault:**++```bash+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8786/api/credentials \+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \+  -d '{"host":"app.ultralibrarian.com","username":"<email>","password":"<password>"}'+```++This populates the **Credentials** button in the dashboard. The vault is plaintext at `~/.config/chip-fetcher/credentials.json` (chmod 600). Why this is fine for vendor CAD accounts: the file is only readable by the container user, and the threat model for these accounts is "if leaked, user resets password and moves on." Same threat model as the user pasting them in chat in the first place.++**For genuinely sensitive creds (bank, GitHub, payment processor, internal infra) — different rule:** use `adom-desktop credential_set` (OS keychain) and have the user run it themselves so the password never crosses chat or shell args. Those creds shouldn't be in chip-fetcher's plaintext vault at all.++The split: **vendor CAD = chip-fetcher vault, plaintext, no big deal.** **Real secrets = OS keychain, never in chat.**++### 7. Smoke-test the original failing fetch++Re-run the script that triggered this whole flow on a known-failing MPN:++```bash+./chip-fetcher/scripts/cf-ul-fast.sh <MPN>     # or cf-cse-batch.sh, etc.+```++Confirm it now succeeds without the captcha wall / Basic-Auth dialog. If it still fails, the cookie didn't land — check pup profile dir for the `Cookies` SQLite, and check `--profile` flag on the script.++### What to NEVER do in this flow++- **Never** print the URL and walk away. The user opens Edge.+- **Never** save passwords directly in skill files or memory (the chip-fetcher vault and the OS keychain are the two homes for storage; chat is for transit only).+- **Never** assume the cookie auto-syncs between the host browser and pup. They are separate cookie jars.+- **Never** confuse this with the **Credentials button** flow when the vendor needs a session cookie (that vault only does Basic-Auth URL rewriting).+- **Never** treat vendor CAD-download accounts (UL, SnapEDA, CSE, my.ti.com, NXP MyNXP, ST, Microchip) like bank logins. The user finds the security theater more annoying than the leakage risk. Just take the password and fill the form.++## Known-EE-login catalog++Every site here is one almost every embedded engineer already has credentials for, and asking is faster than guessing:++| Site | Login URL | Common reason for login |+|------|-----------|-------------------------|+| SnapEDA / SnapMagic | https://www.snapeda.com/account/login/ | Free CAD downloads |+| Component Search Engine | https://componentsearchengine.com/account/login | CSE library loader |+| Ultra Librarian | https://www.ultralibrarian.com/account/login | UL library loader (some flows) |+| Mouser | https://www.mouser.com/MyMouser/SignIn | Order tracking, sample requests |+| DigiKey | https://www.digikey.com/MyDigiKey/Login | Order tracking, BOM tools |+| my.ti.com (Texas Instruments) | https://www.ti.com/securelogin/ | Sample requests, secured datasheets |+| NXP MyNXP | https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sign-in | Restricted AppNote PDFs |+| ST my.st.com | https://my.st.com/auth/login | Restricted AppNotes, eval boards |+| Microchip MyMicrochip | https://www.microchip.com/en-us/my-account-sign-in | KiCad/Fusion CAD downloads |+| Renesas | https://www.renesas.com/myaccount/login | Restricted CAD/AppNotes |+| Bosch Sensortec | https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/my-account/login/ | Eval kit ordering |+| Nordic DevZone | https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/auth/login | Forum + some restricted downloads |+| Espressif | https://www.espressif.com/en/login | Module datasheets, mass-prod kits |++When you hit any of these sign-in walls, ASK before building forms.++## chip-fetcher's known-source aliases++| name              | URL                                                       | Notes |+|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------|+| `google`          | `https://accounts.google.com/signin`                      | propagates to all "Sign in with Google" buttons |+| `ti`              | `https://www.ti.com/securemyprofile/login`                | TI funnels CAD through UL anyway |+| `st`              | `https://my.st.com/cas/login`                             | ST self-hosts some STEPs |+| `microchip`       | `https://www.microchip.com/en-us/my-account-sign-in`      | OAuth popup; Google sign-in works for myMicrochip |+| `nxp`             | `https://www.nxp.com/security/login`                      | **Required for Reference Manuals + HW Design Guides + Board User Manuals.** Datasheet, errata, app notes, factsheet are open. |+| `ultralib`        | `https://app.ultralibrarian.com/account/login`            | **email/password or LinkedIn only — no Google** |+| `snapeda`         | `https://www.snapmagic.com/account/login`                 | SnapMagic (rebranded SnapEDA) |+| `componentsearch` | `https://componentsearchengine.com/signin`                | samacsys; **single login covers all `<mfr>.componentsearchengine.com` subdomains** |++`chip-fetcher login <name>` opens the login page in the chip-fetcher pup profile. `chip-fetcher login all` opens them all as separate tabs. `chip-fetcher login list` prints this catalog.++## ⚠ HARD RULE — CSE downloads use HTTP Basic Auth, not the form-login session++**Component Search Engine (`mouser.componentsearchengine.com`, `nxp.componentsearchengine.com`, etc.) requires HTTP Basic Auth on its download endpoints (`/ga/model.php`, `/preview_newDesign.php` redirects). The `/signin` form login gives you a session cookie that is USELESS for downloads — those endpoints challenge for Basic Auth separately.**++Symptoms when you forget this (verified painful 2026-05-04):++- Form login at `componentsearchengine.com/signin` succeeds — page redirects to `/learn-more`, "Log Out" link appears, you "look" signed in.+- You navigate to `mouser.componentsearchengine.com/preview_newDesign.php?...` — the preview page renders.+- You click "Download CAD Models" — the page lands on `chrome-error://chromewebdata/`, no file in Downloads.+- A native Chrome HTTP-Basic-Auth dialog is blocking the page **but is NOT in the DOM**. `browser_eval` cannot see it. `document.querySelector("[role=dialog]")` returns null. Your automation thinks the click did nothing.+- You waste 30 minutes troubleshooting and the user gets to ask, *"i gave you my credentials for CSE and you never typed them in?"*++**The fix — three layers, in order of reliability:**++### 1. Inline credentials in the URL (universal — works in all navigation paths)++```bash+USER=$(python3 -c "import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.quote('<your-cse-email>', safe=''))")+PASS=$(python3 -c "import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.quote('<password from credential vault>', safe=''))")+URL="https://${USER}:${PASS}@mouser.componentsearchengine.com/preview_newDesign.php?o3=0&partID=8659&ev=0&fmt=zip&pna=Mouser"+adom-desktop browser_navigate "{\"sessionId\":\"chip-fetcher\",\"url\":\"$URL\"}"+```++Always urlencode the username (`@` → `%40`) and password. This is the lowest-failure-mode pattern — Chrome handles the credentials before any dialog can appear, and it works regardless of pup version, profile state, or which pup tool you're using (`browser_navigate`, `browser_open_window`, etc.). **Use this by default for any CSE click that triggers a download.**++### 2. adom-desktop OS keychain vault (only fires on `page.goto`)++`adom-desktop credential_set` stores creds in the OS keychain (Windows DPAPI / macOS Keychain / Linux libsecret). The vault hook fires before `page.goto` so the basic-auth popup is satisfied automatically — but **only for page-level navigations**. A click-triggered download URL that opens in the same tab can bypass the hook depending on how Chrome routes the request, and that's exactly when the hidden popup catches you.++**One-time setup per user:**++```bash+# Ask user for CSE creds, then:+adom-desktop credential_set '{+  "host": "*.componentsearchengine.com",+  "username": "<their email>",+  "password": "<their password>"+}'++# Audit (passwords NEVER returned)+adom-desktop credential_list+# → [{"host":"*.componentsearchengine.com","username":"..."}]+```++**Glob matching:** `*.example.com` matches any subdomain; longest-non-glob-suffix wins. Set once per user → applies to nxp.cse, mouser.cse, ti.cse, etc.++For genuinely high-stakes secrets (banking, internal infra, payment processors), have the user run `credential_set` themselves so the password never crosses chat or shell args. For vendor CAD-download accounts (CSE, UL, SnapEDA, etc.), the user pasting the password in chat is fine — those creds end up in the chip-fetcher vault anyway, and the threat model is "if leaked, reset the password and move on."++### 3. chip-fetcher's `/api/credentials` vault (read-only mirror, used for inline-URL building)++chip-fetcher stores a non-OS-keychain copy of CSE credentials at `~/.config/chip-fetcher/credentials.json` (chmod 600) and exposes them at `http://127.0.0.1:8786/api/credentials` for the dashboard's "manage credentials" UI. **This vault is plaintext-readable** — perfect for building inline-URL credentials in scripts, NOT a substitute for the OS-keychain auto-inject.++```bash+# Pull both vaults' state and use the chip-fetcher one to build inline URLs:+CRED=$(curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8786/api/credentials | python3 -c '+import sys,json,urllib.parse+d=json.load(sys.stdin)+c=next((x for x in d["credentials"] if "componentsearchengine" in x["host"]), None)+if c: print(f"{urllib.parse.quote(c[\"username\"],safe=\"\")}:{urllib.parse.quote(c[\"password\"],safe=\"\")}")+')+URL="https://${CRED}@mouser.componentsearchengine.com/..."+```++**Sync the two vaults** the first time you set up CSE on a new container — write to both `chip-fetcher`'s and `adom-desktop`'s. They serve different layers and the failure modes are independent.++## User profile memory for forms++A `user` memory exists at `~/.claude/projects/-home-adom-project/memory/user_profile.md` — the user's company info (Adom Industries Inc., Fort Worth TX, etc.) for auto-filling NXP/TI/ST extended-profile and registration forms.++The pattern: read the memory when a vendor form needs filling, set field values, dispatch `input` + `change` + `blur` events on each field (some forms only enable submit after these fire), then click submit. **Never store passwords in memory** — those go in the credential vault.++## Don't click the Chrome profile avatar++**Don't click the Chrome profile avatar (top-right of browser chrome) in pup windows.** It opens chrome:// account-switcher UI that pup can't host — the session dies. All auth happens on web pages, never via the chrome avatar. If the session does die, cookies persist in the profile dir, so just relaunch with the same `profile: "chip-fetcher"` and you're still logged in.++## Diagnosing "am I signed in?" before assuming the worst++When the user reports automation detection is firing, **don't immediately conclude the profile is broken**. Check first by navigating to `https://accounts.google.com/` and looking at the upper-right avatar — if the user's account name + photo are visible, the Google sign-in is intact and the detection is about something else entirely (Chrome-for-Testing fingerprint, missing extensions, burst-request behavior).++When detection fires:+1. Verify Google sign-in is intact (don't lose it).+2. Apply the "look like a slow, distracted human" rules (referrer chain, random delays, scroll, mouse-move).+3. If still blocked, ask the user to slide the CAPTCHA — the missing browsing-history reputation can't be faked.++Past mistake: misdiagnosed automation detection as profile-loss and asked the user to re-sign-in unnecessarily.

The dashboard is the single place the user looks to understand what's planned, what's in flight, and what's done. The skill below is mandatory for every batch fetch.++## The hard rule++**Two separate surfaces.

They don't lose context when the agent visits SnapMagic or solves a captcha.+- The dashboard surface NEVER gets navigated away from. It stays on the chip-fetcher viewer URL. The scraping window does the work.+- If the agent gets stuck, the dashboard surfaces it on the relevant chip's card — the user knows which chip needs help without reading chat.++## The canonical batch flow++```+User asks: "fetch these 6 LEDs"+  ↓+Stage 0: PLAN+  ├ Tell user the MPN list as a numbered plan+  ├ chip-fetcher plan <MPN1> <MPN2> ...

POSTs the heartbeat to `/api/activity` so the dashboard renders the live stage.+2. **Auto-creates a stub `library/<MPN>/info.json`** the first time a new MPN heartbeats — the dashboard renders an empty placeholder card so the user has something to scroll to even before any files land.+3. **Auto-scrolls the dashboard pup window** so the active MPN's card is centered in view with a brief outline highlight (`#5cf`). No more "I'm working on this chip but the user is parked on a different row of the grid."+4. **Prints the canonical sourcing-ladder HINT on the very first heartbeat per MPN** (Mfr → SnapMagic → Mouser → DigiKey → Arrow → CSE/UL → LCSC). The AI sees this on stdout instead of having to re-read the skill.+5. **Prints a card-completeness `WARN:` on every heartbeat** listing what files the active card is still missing (PDF / STEP / `.kicad_sym` / `.kicad_mod`), plus a library-wide `WARN: N/Total cards still incomplete` count. The AI cannot quietly walk away from a half-finished batch — the count is in stdout on every heartbeat.++The legacy raw-curl flow still works as a fallback for shell scripts that don't have the binary on PATH:++```bash+ACTIVITY="http://127.0.0.1:8786/api/activity"+post_act() {+  curl -s -X POST "$ACTIVITY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \+    -d "{\"mpn\":\"$MPN\",\"stage\":\"$1\"}" >/dev/null+}+```++…but it does NOT trigger any of the above side-effects. Always prefer the CLI.++The dashboard polls `/api/activity` and renders the latest stage on the chip's card. The user's card shows: live stage, history of recent stages, and any "stuck" flag.++## The completion gate — `chip-fetcher gate`++Before reporting "X of Y done" or "batch complete" or shipping anything based on the library, run `chip-fetcher gate`. It walks every chip and exits 1 if ANY card lacks PDF + STEP + `.kicad_sym` + `.kicad_mod` (default mode) or also Altium + Fusion (`--strict`). For each incomplete card it prints `HINT:` lines naming the exact missing artifacts. The deterministic check replaces "did I remember to check completeness?" — the binary remembers for you.++Datasheet-only cards count as **incomplete stubs**, not done. If the ladder is genuinely exhausted (no STEP exists anywhere on Mfr / SnapMagic / Mouser / DigiKey / Arrow / CSE), record that in `info.json.fetched_via_chain` so the gate sees it as a documented dead-end — but ONLY after walking the full ladder, not as a shortcut.++**Heartbeat MUST fire on:**+- Every page navigation in the scraping session (`navigating <vendor>.com`)+- Every form-fill / button-click that's part of a multi-step flow (`pre-setting form`, `clicking reCAPTCHA`, `polling Downloads`)+- Every state change that affects "is this chip done yet?" (`downloading kicad zip`, `pulling from desktop`, `imported`)+- Every stuck state (`captcha — user help needed`, `mfr lacks CAD — needs SnapEDA approval`)++**Heartbeat must NOT lie about state.** "imported" means the file is in `library/<MPN>/`. "downloading" means the download fired and we're polling Downloads.

The viewer auto-discovers chips by scanning `library/<MPN>/` directories at server start, so a chip doesn't appear on the dashboard until it has at least one file imported.++**Until that command lands**, the canonical flow is:+1. List the planned MPNs to the user textually as a numbered batch (so they see the queue before any scraping fires)+2. Start the heartbeat the moment the chip moves into `probing <vendor>.com` (this auto-creates the chip's card via the activity API's side-effect of writing to `library/<MPN>/.activity` or similar)+3. Do not pretend "planned" cards exist on the dashboard if they don't yet++Code work to add proper plan-loading is tracked separately in chip-fetcher's TODO; keep this playbook authoritative for what the flow SHOULD look like once that lands.++## When the dashboard window dies / closes++If the user accidentally closes the dashboard window:+1. Don't reopen it silently — that's confusing if they meant to close it.+2. Surface it: *"I noticed the chip-fetcher dashboard window closed.

It's "always START at the manufacturer's site, even when 100% confident."

Some have UL deep-links that are still mfr-direct because the link is on the mfr's page.

Walk Documentation, Tools & Software, CAD icon, Resources, Hardware Files. Scrape `<img alt>` for icon-only buttons. Only AFTER that probe is it OK to fall to SnapMagic / Mouser / DigiKey, and even then REPORT the mfr's state to the user before bouncing. Mouser stock-API queries can run in parallel as a side-channel, but they don't substitute for the mfr CAD probe.++## Self-hosting matrix++| Vendor    | Self-hosts STEP | Self-hosts symbol/footprint   | Datasheet hosting |+|-----------|-----------------|-------------------------------|-------------------|+| TI        | no (UL only)    | no (UL only)                  | direct, open URL  |+| ST        | no (UL only)    | no (UL only)                  | in-page fetch (CDN blocks curl) |+| ADI       | no (UL only)    | no (UL only)                  | in-page fetch     |+| **NXP**   | no              | **YES — BXL format** (mfr-direct) | direct PDF        |+| Microchip | no (UL gated)   | no (UL gated)                 | Microchip CDN     |+| Renesas   | no              | partcommunity (separate flow) | direct PDF        |+| Bosch     | NO CAD AT ALL   | NO CAD AT ALL                 | direct PDF        |+| Syntiant  | NO CAD AT ALL   | NO CAD AT ALL                 | NDA-gated         |+| **Espressif** | **YES via Mouser CSE Library Loader.** Both bare chips (ESP32-S3FN8) and modules (ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N4) have full STEP+sym+footprint via mouser.componentsearchengine.com. | YES (same path) | **Open URLs at `www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/<mpn>_<doctype>_en.pdf`** — datasheet + TRM are huge (10–15 MB) and curl-able from container. |++For NXP specifically: BXL files are Accelerated Designs format — convert to KiCad via their Library Loader (Windows app) or treat as opaque mfr-authored asset.++## Vendor URL & UL deep-link patterns++Each manufacturer has its own product-page URL pattern, but most eventually link to a `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/<vendor-slug>/embedded` URL with a session-tied query string.++| Vendor        | Product page URL                                          | UL deep-link                                                |+|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|+| **TI**        | `ti.com/product/<MPN>`                                    | `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/TI/embedded/?gpn=<MPN>&...`      |+| **ST**        | `st.com/en/<category>/<mpn>.html`                         | `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/stmicro/embedded?rpn=<MPN>&...`  |+| **ADI**       | `analog.com/en/products/<mpn>.html`                       | `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/adi/embedded?vdrPN=<MPN>`        |+| **NXP**       | `nxp.com/products/<MPN>` *(self-hosts BXL — no UL)*       | n/a — direct `.bxl.zip` download                            |+| **Microchip** | `microchip.com/en-us/product/<mpn>` *(login-gated)*       | `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/microchip?vdrpn=<MPN>` *(in iframe)* |+| **Renesas**   | `renesas.com/en/products/<mpn>`                           | n/a — Renesas routes through CADENAS PartCommunity          |+| **WAGO**      | `wago.com/global/p/<MPN>`                                 | `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/Wago/Embedded/?vdrPN=<MPN>` *(via "CAE" icon)* |++Deferred: **Renesas** (CADENAS PartCommunity has its own auth flow), **Bosch / TDK / Allegro / etc.** (no CAD on their sites; need UL login).++## TI — open everything++Datasheets are trivial — `curl https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/<base-mpn>` returns the PDF directly.

Per-part differences (color, wavelength, Vf) come from the datasheet, not the 3D model.++**Importer implication:** when fetching from Vishay's family-level zip, distribute the extracted STEP to EACH MPN's `library/<MPN>/<MPN>.step` directory. Tag `info.json` with:+```json+{+  "step_source": "mfr-direct",+  "step_authoring": "mfr-uploaded",+  "step_url": "https://www.vishay.com/docs/<doc-id>/<family>.zip",+  "step_note": "Family-level package body — covers all <FAMILY>xxxx parts. Color/wavelength/Vf differs per part; consult datasheet."+}+```++This pattern likely applies to other passive makers too (Würth, Murata, Yageo) — assume family-level until proven otherwise.++### Vishay naming conventions for indicator LEDs++| Code | Color |+|------|-------|+| `VLMS` | Super Red |+| `VLMB` | Blue |+| `VLMG` | Yellow Green |+| `VLMTG` | True Green |+| `VLMO` | Soft Orange (Vishay's amber-equivalent) |+| `VLMY` | Yellow |+| `VLMW` | White |++Series digits indicate package size:+- `1500` = SMD 0402 ChipLED Standard family+- `1300` = 0603 family+- `1400` = larger SMD or different brightness tier++**Distributor packaging suffix vs MPN:** the bare manufacturer MPN is `VLMS1500`. The `-GS08` suffix on Mouser/DigiKey listings is the **distributor's packaging code** (tape and reel options), NOT part of Vishay's MPN. Use the bare MPN as the library directory name. Mouser stock-API queries can use either form (`VLMS1500` works; `VLMS1500-GS08` resolves to specific reel SKU).++### What Vishay does NOT host++The Design Tools page filtered to "Symbol/Footprint" for LEDs returns very limited results — Vishay does not appear to publish KiCad/Altium symbols + footprints for indicator LEDs as cleanly as the 3D models. **Confirm by visiting individual product detail pages too** (sometimes vendors publish sym/mod separately on the part page rather than in the design-tools index).++If Vishay's part page also lacks sym/mod, the canonical fallback is:++1. **Mouser product page → "ECAD Model" link** (routes into `mouser.componentsearchengine.com/...` and serves a `LIB_<MPN>.zip` with `.step` + `.kicad_sym` + `.kicad_mod`).+2. The Mouser CSE bundle's STEP is mfr-uploaded too, but **Vishay's direct STEP is more accurate** — keep Vishay's STEP, take only the sym/mod from the CSE zip.+3. This is the "mfr-direct STEP + distributor-CSE sym/mod" hybrid pattern — tag `info.json`'s `sym_source` and `mod_source` separately from `step_source`:++```json+{+  "step_source": "mfr-direct",        "step_url": "https://www.vishay.com/docs/.../...zip",+  "sym_source":  "mouser-ecad-model", "sym_url":  "https://mouser.componentsearchengine.com/...",+  "mod_source":  "mouser-ecad-model", "mod_url":  "https://mouser.componentsearchengine.com/..."+}+```++Direct user direction during the verifying session: *"if you fail [on Vishay sym/mod], then it would seem you should try to then find that product on mouser and use their symbol/footprint and we'll join the two up. i love that you found the step though cuz i want the most accurate part 3d files."*++**Translation:** mfr-direct STEP is non-negotiable for accuracy. Sym/mod can come from the Mouser-CSE fallback because they're geometric (pad placement is a geometric fact, not a wavelength curve) and CSE's mfr-uploaded copies are good enough.++---++## Lattice / iCE40 family — Documentation tab has 30+ PDFs++iCE40 UltraPlus has a Documentation tab with 30+ PDFs (datasheet, hardware checklist, design guidelines, programming guide, all the IP usage guides, package diagrams, PCB layout, solder reflow, thermal management) — all at `https://www.latticesemi.com/view_document?document_id=<N>`.

Only one has a `partID`:+- **"SamacSys Part Preview"** (len ~50KB) → contains `partID=<N>`. ✅ This is what you want.+- **"SamacSys Part Selector" / "Pick One"** (len ~8–21KB) → a disambiguation page, **no partID**. ❌++Two independent causes push you onto the no-partID pages:++1. **Use the ORDERABLE MPN, not the base part.** `mpn=ADS1263` → "Pick One" (the base part has many package variants, so CSE can't resolve one). `mpn=ADS1263IPWR` (orderable, with package suffix) → "Part Preview", partID 755745. **Always pass the orderable MPN with its package/reel suffix.** If you only have the base MPN, a distributor parametric lookup (`adom-mouser`/`adom-digikey`) gives the orderable variant, or try the common suffix (TSSOP `…IPWR`, QFN `…IRTER`).++2. **Do NOT append `&logo=&epm=0` to the entry URL.** Those two extra params silently flip CSE into the "Part Selector" page (no partID) **even for a valid orderable MPN**. Use the minimal param set above. This cost an afternoon of "no-partID" debugging — the bug was a malformed URL, not the chip or the browser.++### `chip-fetcher cse <MPN> --mfr "<Manufacturer>"` — the automated path (use this first)++Does the whole CSE chain in code: navigate clean → entry (orderable MPN) → partID → preview → zipForm → `ga/model.php` → import STEP+symbol+footprint. Retries the cold-call flake and keeps the dashboard "working on" bar live via a heartbeat ticker. Prefer it over hand-driving URLs.++### How the download works — same-origin XHR + Basic-auth header (the breakthrough)++CSE downloads are HTTP Basic Auth. Inline-cred URLs (`https://user:pass@host/…`) are REJECTED by `fetch()`, and a plain navigate pops Chrome's invisible Basic-auth dialog. **The robust technique: a same-origin `XMLHttpRequest` (from a tab already on `mouser.componentsearchengine.com`) with `xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Basic '+btoa(user+':'+pass))`.** XHR (unlike fetch) accepts the Authorization header AND pulls the bytes into JS as an arraybuffer — so the zip never hits Chrome's download policy (which silently blocks the 2nd+ download). This is what `cse_fetch_zip` in `pup.rs` does. **Vault-auth works in ANY browser** — the auth is the XHR header from chip-fetcher's vault, not a browser cookie, so CSE runs fine in the user's Chrome even if their saved CSE login lives in Edge.++**Real example:** Espressif has no CSE portal. Probing `espressif.componentsearchengine.com` gave NXDOMAIN. UL portal `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/espressif/embedded` gave "No Access is defined." But Mouser's product page for ESP32-S3FN8 had an "ECAD Model" block linking to `mouser.componentsearchengine.com/...` — and that path served a complete bundle. Same trick worked for the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N4 module.++## ⚠ HARD RULE — CSE downloads need credentials embedded in the URL++**Before you click any "Download CAD Models" button on `*.componentsearchengine.com`, embed credentials inline.** The `/signin` form-login session cookie is USELESS for downloads — those endpoints issue a separate HTTP Basic Auth challenge that pops a native Chrome dialog **invisible to `browser_eval`**. Symptom: page lands on `chrome-error://chromewebdata/`, no file in Downloads, nothing in DOM to indicate why.

Follow the CSE URL into `mouser.componentsearchengine.com/...` directly.+5. Drive the standard CSE Download flow (same as NXP CSE).++## Mouser — first-class playbook++**Mouser is the most important external resource chip-fetcher has after the manufacturer's own site.** It hosts the datasheet AND the ECAD bundle for nearly every chip in their catalog — and for the long tail of chips whose manufacturers don't publish CAD (Vishay passives, niche connectors, smaller-vendor SoCs), Mouser is the *only* source.++Direct user quote: *"mouser is a key resource here so we have to get into the skill how to work with their website."*++**What's on every Mouser product page (right sidebar):**++- **`Datasheet:`** block — a `<MPN> Datasheet (PDF)` link. Either Mouser-CDN-hosted (`https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/<…>.pdf`) or a redirect to the manufacturer's CDN. Behind Akamai's bot wall, so use the in-page `fetch()` pattern, not naked curl.+- **`ECAD Model:`** block — `PCB Symbol, Footprint & 3D Model` link. Routes into `mouser.componentsearchengine.com/...` and serves a `LIB_<MPN>.zip` with `.step` + `.kicad_sym` + `.kicad_mod`.+- Extra reference docs (app notes, training PDFs) listed as additional `<a href="*.pdf">` rows further down — scrape them all.++## Operating manual — Mouser++1. **Always go through pup Chrome** — never naked curl. Their CDN serves a 174 KB HTML denial page (`"Access to this page has been denied because we believe you are using automation tools"`) for any non-browser request.+2. **Use the auto-cookie-accept helper** on every navigation — Mouser's cookie banner blocks downstream clicks via z-index.+3. **Use in-page `fetch()` with `{credentials:"include"}`** to pull PDFs (Chrome session cookies + JA3 fingerprint pass Akamai). Decode base64 result back into the library. `cf-mouser-pdf-pull.sh` is the reference implementation.+4. **For ECAD bundles, drive the full CSE Download flow inside the pup window.** Mouser-hosted CSE shares the same single-sign-on cookie as `componentsearchengine.com` proper, so once the user is signed in there, every Mouser ECAD link works without re-auth.+5. **Mouser's Search API (`adom-mouser`) gives you the canonical product URL + `datasheet_url` field for every variant.** Walk all variants — the version with the populated `datasheet_url` is sometimes a different package SKU than the MPN you searched for.++## Mouser's slide-to-verify CAPTCHA++After ~5–10 automated requests in a session, Mouser shows a slide-to-verify CAPTCHA. **Stop and ask the user to drag the slider.** Use `browser_raise_os_window` + `browser_screenshot` to surface the obstacle, then say: *"Mouser hit me with a slide-CAPTCHA — please drag the slider on the pup window to clear it."* Resume the flow once the CAPTCHA clears.++**DO NOT pivot to a different source for ECAD bundles** — there is no other source for those. Direct user pushback: *"that was a good test case … you can't just abandon the website if that's the only way to get the step file and symbol/footprint and the datasheet."*++**Cooldown:** Mouser's verification token persists for 30+ minutes after the user clears the slider. Batch your Mouser fetches during that window so the user only ever has to slide once per session.++**Critical caveat:** Mouser's CDN is Akamai-protected and rejects naked `curl` (returns 200 OK with a "Access to this page has been denied" HTML page). To pull a Mouser-hosted PDF you must either (a) navigate pup Chrome there and trigger a download (file lands in `~/Downloads`, then `chip-fetcher pull`), or (b) use in-page `fetch()` via `browser_eval` with `credentials:"include"` — Chrome's session cookies pass Akamai's bot check and the response can be base64-encoded back through `awaitPromise:true`.++## When the slider hits — escalation order++1. **Try `browser_input_dispatch type:"move"` along the slider track followed by `type:"click"` at the right edge.** Trusted CDP input has `isTrusted: true` and may pass GeeTest's basic acceleration check; some Mouser slider variants accept it.+2. **Pivot to vendor-direct ONLY if Mouser is fungible for this chip's docs.** TI lit IDs, ST `/resource/`, NXP `/docs/` — there are non-Mouser paths for documentation. Not for ECAD bundles.+3. **For ECAD bundles, there is no fungible path.** Hand off via `desktop_open_url` to the user's native browser (real Chrome with browsing-history reputation, extensions, real input). They slide once, the CAPTCHA token persists 30+ minutes, then the rest of the session works through pup again.+4. **Don't silently abandon a website if it's the only path.**++## CSE auth — single login covers all `<mfr>.componentsearchengine.com` subdomains++Sign in once at `https://componentsearchengine.com/signin` with the user's email + password, and the cookie covers every per-vendor subdomain (nxp, mouser, etc.). On first visit to a subdomain, an HTTP **Basic Auth** popup may appear once — it accepts the same CSE creds. After that, downloads on subdomain pages work.++The CSE STEP files we get for NXP/Mouser CSE are **mfr-authored, FreeCAD-exported** with named PRODUCTs (`ASSEMBLY`, `Body`, `ThermalPin`, `PinsArrayLR`, `PinsArrayTB`) — same authoring pipeline as TI's Fusion-electronics exports. So CSE-distributed STEPs match UL-distributed STEPs in scene-graph quality.++**Filename pattern: CSE downloads land as `LIB_<MPN>.zip` (vs UL's `ul_<MPN>.zip`).** The `cf-autowatch.sh` script's filename match needs to handle both — regex is `^(ul_|LIB_).*\.zip$`.++## Chrome's "wants to Download multiple files" SILENT KILLER++When CSE fires a download, Chrome detects multiple downloads (symbol + footprint + 3D + datasheet often arrive as separate transfers) and shows an Allow/Block dialog the first time per origin per session. **Programmatic `.click()` and `MouseEvent` dispatch CANNOT click Allow** — it's a Chromium browser-chrome dialog, not a page element.++Symptom: download button "works" (no error, page doesn't change), but `~/Downloads` stays empty for minutes.++**Cure: pre-grant the `automatic_downloads` permission to `*.componentsearchengine.com` BEFORE opening the page.** Two known approaches:+- (a) use Chrome DevTools Protocol `Browser.grantPermissions` via pup before the first navigation+- (b) launch the pup profile with `--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs` plus a setup script that flips the permission++**Do NOT ask the user to click Allow** — see "chip-fetcher does ALL the clicking" rule. Cloudflare/CSE reject curl-with-cookies attempts (HTTP 403 → CF anti-bot challenge → redirect to `/register`), so Chrome inside pup is the only viable path. Once the permission is granted at profile-load, all CSE clicks in that session run unattended.++(`chip-fetcher/scripts/adom-desktop-chrome-permissions-prompt.md` is the open feature request to bake `automatic_downloads: granted` into every pup `browser_open_window` by default.)++## Anti-detection / browse as a real user++Even when you go through pup Chrome, sites still profile *behavior*. Burst-clicking 5 product pages in 30 seconds with no scrolling, no mouse-movement, no referrer chain looks like a bot regardless of TLS fingerprint. The remedies, applied always:++1. **Pre-warm with a referrer chain.** Don't deep-link straight to a product page. Visit `<vendor>.com/` first, wait 3 seconds, then click into a search → results → product. Anti-bot heuristics weight `Referer` chains heavily.+2. **Add 2–5 second random delays between navigations** (`sleep $((2 + RANDOM % 4))`).+3. **Scroll the page after load.** Even one `window.scrollTo({top:600,behavior:'smooth'})` then a pause then `scrollTo({top:1400})` shifts behavioral profile out of bot territory and triggers lazy-loaded content.+4. **Move the mouse.** A few `dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('mousemove', {clientX:..., clientY:..., bubbles:true}))` calls between clicks help.+5. **Don't fetch the same domain in tight bursts.** When backfilling 14 chips, space them ≥4 seconds apart and reload one tab — don't open 14 tabs at once.+6. **Use a single persistent profile (`chip-fetcher`)** so cookies, fingerprint, and visit history accumulate.+7. **Detection escape valve:** if a site still 403s despite all of the above, slow down and ask the user to slide whatever CAPTCHA appears.++## Always browse as a real user++**Every PDF fetch goes through pup Chrome with a real session, not naked `curl`.** Vendor CDNs (Mouser/Akamai, Cloudflare, ST/Akamai, Nordic/Cloudflare, NXP/Cloudflare) actively profile traffic for "automation tools" — TLS fingerprint, header order, missing `sec-ch-ua`/`sec-fetch-*`, no JS execution, no cookies, no referrer chain.++**The rule: every fetch flows through pup.** Use one of these in priority order:++1. **In-page `fetch()` via `browser_eval`** with `{credentials:"include"}` and `awaitPromise:true`, base64-encoding the response body back through the JSON channel.+2. **Programmatic `<a>` click in the rendered page** — Chrome handles the download natively, file lands in `~/Downloads`, then `chip-fetcher pull <path>`.+3. **Naked `curl` ONLY for vendor-doc CDNs that are confirmed not behind a bot wall** — TI's `ti.com/lit/pdf/<id>` is one of the few that works. **Always validate by checking the first 4 bytes:**+   ```bash+   head -c 4 "$OUT" | grep -q "%PDF" || { echo "not a real PDF"; rm -f "$OUT"; }+   ```+   If the magic check fails, the vendor served a denial page. Re-route through pup.++**Never write a backfill script that does `curl ... > out.pdf` without the `%PDF` magic-byte gate.** A 174KB HTML denial page mis-stored as a `.pdf` is worse than a missing file.++Direct user pushback: *"make sure we never get errors like this. meaning always browse as a real user would."*

Only fall here when steps 1–6 all returned nothing usable, and even then prefer to surface "we couldn't find this on the manufacturer's site" to the user instead of silently grabbing from LCSC.++Direct user quote (2026-05-06): *"when you're falling back to mouser for the search, after that you should do digikey, and then only after that try lcsc. i really want to avoid lcsc at all costs, but it is in the list if we're desperate."*++**Stock data is independent of the ladder:** always pull `stock.json` from the Mouser API alongside, regardless of where CAD/PDFs come from.++## Why manufacturer first (the ironclad rule)++- Vendor docs are authoritative (latest revision, full set of app notes).+- Manufacturer pages link to UL/SnapEDA deep-links specifically for their parts — find them by following the "CAD" link FROM the vendor page, never by guessing URLs.+- Errata + lifecycle status from the vendor is authoritative.++Direct user quotes:+- *"i keep telling you to not go beyond the manufacturers website."*+- *"look at the manufacturer web pages then. i want you always doing that first anyway before looking at 3rd party sites like mouser/digikey."*+- *"the whole point here is we want to get files, especially step files, from the manufacturer. so you can't cheat. only fallback to places like mouser when you're desperate."*++**🔒 IRONCLAD RULE: never leave the manufacturer's own website without explicit user approval.**++**This applies EVEN WHEN you "already know" the part.** When the agent has high prior confidence about a part (e.g. "LTST-C190KRKT is a Lite-On 0603 red LED, SnapMagic has it"), the cognitive shortcut is to skip the mfr-site probe and jump to the known-source. **Don't.** The rule isn't "check the mfr site when uncertain" — it's "always START at the mfr site, even when confident, before recommending or fetching from anywhere else." Confidence about the part identity is not a substitute for confirming the manufacturer's own site state.++The failure pattern that repeatedly trips this: user asks "do we have indicator LEDs?" → agent recalls a known part family from training → queries Mouser for stock validation → recommends fetching from SnapMagic — without ever opening `<mfr>.com`.

Direct user pushback (recurring): *"why do you keep not using the preference order i'm asking for?"*++The right reflex: open the manufacturer's product page first, even if it takes 30 seconds. Lite-On has `liteonopto.com`, Würth has `we-online.com`, etc. Walk the page, look for CAD/Datasheet/3D Model links. ONLY after exhausting the mfr's site is it OK to talk about SnapMagic / Mouser-CSE / UL fallbacks.++What this means in practice:+1. **Stay on `<vendor>.com` only.** Don't bounce to `3dfindit.com`, `partcommunity.com`, `mouser.componentsearchengine.com`, `vendor.ultralibrarian.com`, `snapeda.com`, `componentsearchengine.com`, or any third-party site **unless the manufacturer's own page links there explicitly** (e.g. TI/ST/ADI/Microchip embedding a `vendor.ultralibrarian.com/<slug>/embedded` URL counts as mfr-endorsed; navigating to UL via Google search does NOT).+2. **If you can't find CAD on the manufacturer's site, REPORT that to the user.** Don't go hunting on aggregators silently. The user will tell you what to do.+3. **Mfr-uploaded ≠ mfr-direct.** SamacSys hosts mfr-uploaded models, but the discovery / distribution channel is still third-party. Always check the mfr's site FIRST, exhaustively, even if you "know" it's going to fail.+4. **Native non-KiCad formats are still mfr-direct.** Altium `.IntLib`, OrCAD `.olb`/`.dml`, EAGLE `.lbr`, Renesas `.dml`, NXP `.bxl` — all of these qualify as mfr-authored. Pull them and convert to KiCad later; don't reject them because they're not in our preferred format.+5. **Exhaust the manufacturer's site before reporting "not available."** Walk every tab (Design Resources, Documentation, Tools & Software, Software & Drivers, Documents & Downloads, Hardware Files), expand every "Toggle" / accordion, click every icon-only button, scrape every `<img>` `alt`/`src`, follow every PDF/zip link, navigate to every Package / Pinout / Mechanical Drawing subcategory.++## Where SnapEDA shines (Tier 2)++When the manufacturer doesn't publish CAD directly (Nordic for example — `nordicsemi.com` doesn't expose chip CAD, only firmware SDK + reference-board Altium files), SnapEDA is the next viable free source. It's free with a login, and **most embedded engineers already have a SnapEDA account**.++Direct user pushback when chip-fetcher missed SnapEDA on Nordic's nRF52840-CKAA dead-end: *"why haven't you tried that before?"* Answer: should have. Adding to the ladder permanently.++## NRND / EOL / Last-Time-Buy is a hard stop for chip-fetcher's own picks++When a manufacturer page (or distributor lifecycle field) says any of these, treat it as a hard signal that the part is on its way out of the market:++- "Not Recommended for New Designs" / "NRND"+- "End of Life" / "EOL" / "Obsolete"+- "Last Time Buy" / "LTB" / "Last Order"+- DigiKey/Mouser `lifecycle` field set to anything except `active` / "" / "Active"+- Bosch/ST "Phased out" / "Mature"+- TI "Lifecycle: NRND"+- Mouser "Discontinued"+- Vendor pages with the explicit warning banner at the top++**The rule:**++1. **If the user explicitly asked for that exact MPN** → fetch it AND surface the lifecycle warning prominently. *"Heads up — TI has TPS40190EVM marked NRND, expect availability to drop within 2–3 years; do you still want it or should I find an active equivalent?"* Pause and let them decide. Their design might already be locked to that specific part for a reason (existing PCB, qual'd component, BOM compatibility).+2. **If chip-fetcher was choosing the part on its own** (default library picks, "popular" suggestions, batch fills, "show me a good op-amp" requests) → **DO NOT add it to the library.** Pick an active replacement. NRND parts will be unbuyable for InstaPCB users in 1–3 years; baking them into Adom's default library means real boards won't be manufacturable at scale.+3. **Always include `lifecycle` + `lifecycle_warning` in the stored `stock.json`** so downstream tools (InstaPCB, BOM checker) can flag these without re-scraping.++Direct user quote: *"if the page says 'not recommended for new designs' that you take that seriously. let the user know if they asked you specifically to get that part, but if you were just thinking that part was a good idea for some reason, it's not a good idea."*++**Detection sources** (check all three):++```bash+# 1.

Every chip in `library/<MPN>/` should have current Mouser stock + price metadata cached alongside the CAD bundle.++**stock.json schema:**++```json+{+  "checked_at": "2026-05-03T01:15:00Z",+  "primary_variant": "TPS25751DREFR",+  "primary_reason": "highest_stock",+  "variants": [+    {+      "mpn": "TPS25751DREFR",+      "mouser_pn": "595-TPS25751DREFR",+      "stock": 3276,+      "unit_price": "$2.99",+      "package": "DREF",+      "lifecycle": "Active",+      "lead_time": "...",+      "product_url": "...",+      "datasheet_url": "..."+    }+  ],+  "mouser": {+    "mouser_pn": "...",+    "in_stock": 2995,+    "expected_dates": [{"qty": 2995, "date": "2026-09-04"}],+    "min_order": 1, "multiple": 1, "lead_time_weeks": 20,+    "lifecycle": "active",+    "price_breaks": [{"qty": 1, "unit_price_usd": 4.14}],+    "product_url": "...",+    "rohs": true,+    "datasheet_url": "..."+  }+}+```++Direct user quote: *"we need to know stuff is in stock at mouser so we can build the instapcb for the user, so you should be tracking that data too in chip-fetcher cuz it's really important data."*++## Multi-package variant tracking++When `adom-mouser search "<MPN>"` returns more than one variant of the chip, save **every variant** to `stock.json` under `variants[]` — not just the best/first one. Downstream tools (InstaPCB BOM picker, schematic-to-board flow, alternate-part suggester) need to know the user's choices, especially when packages differ.++Worked example: TPS25751 has both TPS25751DREFR (3276 @ $2.99, package: DREF) and TPS25751SRSMR (1425 @ $2.66, package: SRSM/RSM). Storing only the highest-stock variant hides that the user can pick a different package for layout reasons.++**Discovery:** any time the Mouser `components[]` array length > 1 AND the MPNs differ in suffix (different package), treat as multi-variant. If MPNs are identical (just differ in `mouser_pn`), it's the same chip from different inventory pools — collapse those.++Direct user quote: *"when you see multiple variants like that from mouser, you have to track that to let the user know the choices later downstream."*

UL Pro server-side processes the format conversion; the "Starting Your Download" modal appears.++A single-click pattern (just clicking whichever Download Now is visible first) **fails silently** — the BUTTON click opens the picker but the download never fires because the submit element wasn't clicked.

Optionally tick any consent checkbox the manufacturer requires (TI: `name="consent-TIInfoShare"`). **Verified not actually required for the download to succeed** — UL Pro proceeds without it.

AI MUST detect from screenshot and pass `--grid 3x3` or `--grid 4x4` to phase 2.+- **Type**: "Select all images with X" (one-shot — click matching tiles, click Verify, done) vs "Click verify once there are none left" (iterative — click matches, then NEW images appear in clicked tiles, may need multiple rounds).+- **Subject difficulty**: easy (cars, fire hydrants, traffic lights) vs harder (boats, bicycles, chimneys, palm trees) — AI may need to be aggressive about ambiguous tiles.+- **Image noise overlay**: some replacement tiles in iterative mode have heavy noise — usually means "newly-shown after a click; classify based on what's visible through the noise."++`cf-ul-fast.sh --phase post-captcha` detects iterative escalation automatically (post-Verify check: bframe still visible AND token still empty → re-screenshot → output `image_grid_round_N+1` for AI to do another vision pass). AI loops until token populates or captcha hard-fails.++## /compact your conversation BEFORE driving UL++A captcha token has a ~120-second life from the I'm-not-a-robot click. AI vision response time scales with conversation context size. **If your context is large (200K+ tokens), each vision turn can take 8-15s** — that compounds across iterative captcha rounds and burns the token budget.++**Before any non-trivial UL fetch, recommend the user run `/compact`** to trim context. Smaller context = faster vision responses = the captcha pass succeeds before the token expires.++**Heartbeat protocol is mandatory** — see [`dashboard-flow.md`](dashboard-flow.md). `cf-ul-fast.sh` calls `post_act` automatically at every stage so the dashboard reflects live progress.++## DO NOT drive UL with separate `browser_eval` chat-side calls++Anti-pattern (the slow path):++```+[chat] browser_navigate UL URL+[chat] browser_eval — open Choose CAD Formats+[chat] browser_eval — preset form+[chat] browser_input_dispatch — click captcha+[chat] browser_screenshot — see image grid+[chat] AI vision — pick tiles+[chat] browser_input_dispatch — click tile 1+[chat] browser_input_dispatch — click tile 2+[chat] browser_input_dispatch — click Verify+[chat] browser_eval — poll for token (×N)+[chat] browser_eval — Submit+[chat] shell_execute — poll Downloads+[chat] chip-fetcher pull+```++Each line carries 2-5s of LLM/network latency.

Zero work between token-detect and Submit.+2. **UL's Submit is an `<a>` tag**, not `<button>` — selector must scan `'a, button, input[type=submit]'`.+3. **Cache the Downloads-before snapshot BEFORE clicking reCAPTCHA**, not after Submit — else you race the download and miss the new file.+4. **Use the manufacturer's session-tied UL deep-link**, not `?vdrPN=` guesses. TI's product page has a `CAD` link that includes `gpn=<MPN>&package=<PKG>&pin=<N>&sid=<token>`. Without `sid`, UL silently routes to a wrong/related part. Verified: `?vdrPN=tps65987d` routed to `F280041RSHSR` (totally different chip).+5. **Verify part identity after navigation** — read `document.body.textContent` and confirm the MPN appears.++The full winning recipe lives in `chip-fetcher/scripts/cf-ul-fetch.sh`. Direct user reaction when this pattern landed the bundle on first attempt: *"you did it!!!!!! put that in the skill and/or make a script to be ready next time."*++## Even tighter timing for AI-vision-solved image grids++Verified 2026-05-03: even when AI vision passes a multi-stage image-grid challenge (4×4 → 3×3 → 4×4 → 3×3, ~3 challenges deep), **the cumulative time spent on screenshot + ImageMagick crop + Read + click cycles can exceed the 2-minute token window** by the time the FINAL Submit posts to the vendor backend.++**Mitigation when going AI-vision-solve route:**++1. **Pre-set the form completely** before triggering reCAPTCHA. STEP, KiCAD v6+, Altium, Fusion 360, Metric (mm), T&C — all set BEFORE you click "I'm not a robot."+2. **Keep ALL between-click latency under 1s.** No `sleep 4` for screenshots — use `sleep 0.6` between tile clicks.+3. **Skip screenshots after Verify.** Read `[name=g-recaptcha-response]` directly — that's the only signal that matters. If `.length > 20` → fire Submit in the SAME bash chain.+4. **Accept that 3+ challenge stages probably exceed the budget.** Plan for a redo, but expect the user to need to step in if Google keeps escalating. Direct user pushback on slow re-tries: *"why are you going so slow again? it'll timeout!!!"*++**The hard fact:** AI vision works for 1-stage image grids (~70% of trusted-click escalations). For 3+-stage chained challenges, the round-trip time of `screenshot → crop → read → identify → click → verify` is the bottleneck, not vision accuracy. For those, hand off to the user immediately.++**Reputation-building tips** for boosting silent-pass rate over time:+- Have the user sign into Google in the pup profile once.+- Visit a few high-reputation domains (google.com search, gmail.com) before the gated form.+- Use the same `chip-fetcher` profile across all sessions so cookies+history accumulate.++In practice, expect ~30–50% silent-pass rate on first attempts and increasing over time.++## Watcher race-safety (as of 2026-04-30)++`scripts/cf-autowatch.sh` enforces:+- **PID lock** at `/tmp/cf-autowatch.lock` — only one watcher at a time.+- **URL match** — verifies the active pup tab URL contains the expected MPN base before clicking Submit.+- **Filename match** — the Downloads-folder poll filters for filenames containing the MPN base, AND filename matches `^(ul_|LIB_).*\.zip$`.++Past incident: two watchers running simultaneously both saw the same CAPTCHA solve token and both raced to download/import the same UL zip — one ended up imported into the wrong MPN folder.++## UL gotchas++1. **UL download tokens are SINGLE-USE.** After Chrome consumes the URL once, server returns `Token Expired`. Re-fetching via `browser_eval` + `fetch()` will not work. **The only reliable path is `pull_file` from the user's Downloads folder.**+2. **UL ships PACKAGE-named files inside the zip**, not MPN-named. Inside `ul_TPS62840YBGR.zip` the STEP is `DSBGA6_1P4XP9_TEX.step`. Always pass `--mpn <MPN>` to import so files get renamed to `<MPN>.step`.+3. **UL ships multiple footprint variants** (default, `-L`, `-M`). Current import overwrites them all to one `<MPN>.kicad_mod`. TODO: disambiguate suffixes.+4. **TI does NOT self-host STEPs on ti.com.** Every TI part's "CAD/CAE Symbols" link is a UL deep-link with a session-tied URL.
