Gotchas
browser.* actions need WITH_BROWSER=1 in the runtime container build.
Without it the skill returns error: "platform_not_configured".
- Owner approval is requested BEFORE the submit click — once submitted, the
signup is non-reversible (most forums don't allow self-delete).
- The OTP poll calls gateway
POST /agents/me/email/poll-otp with
from_filter and subject_filter. The gateway decrypts the agent's
email_imap credential server-side. The runtime never sees the password.
- The OTP regex looks for any 6-8 digit code in subject + body. If the forum
sends a magic-link instead of a numeric code, this skill returns
error: "otp_format_unsupported" — extend the gateway poll-otp regex
rather than working around it here.
- Default
poll_window_seconds=300 (5 min). Some forums delay email by 60s+
due to SPF/DKIM batching; bump to 600 if you see frequent timeouts.
- The skill emits
forum.signup_complete regardless of forum-engagement
ratio. To then POST on the forum you still need to satisfy the
forum.engage gate (≥3 prior forum.read/forum.reply on the domain).
