Daily GitHub Action that picks the oldest blog post under docs/website/content/blog dated after 2026-04-30, at least 7 days old, and not yet syndicated to a given platform. The script absolutizes relative links/images, inserts a one-sentence "What is Codename One" blurb after the fold, and POSTs to each platform with canonical_url pointing back to the original on www.codenameone.com. Per-platform state in scripts/website/syndication-state.json so partial failures retry only the failed side. Requires repo secrets: DEVTO_API_KEY, HASHNODE_TOKEN, HASHNODE_PUBLICATION_ID.

Adds foojay.io as a third syndication target. Unlike dev.to and Hashnode the foojay flow creates a WP draft via /wp-json/wp/v2/posts so the foojay editors can review before publishing. The canonical link is surfaced as a visible note at the top of the draft (rather than a meta field) so the reviewer can wire it up using whichever SEO plugin foojay runs. Side effects: - platforms with missing credentials are now skipped at startup with a note instead of failing the whole run, so adding a new platform later does not strand the candidate selector - requests now send a real User-Agent and Accept header (Cloudflare in front of foojay rejected the default Python-urllib UA with error 1010) - foojay credentials (FOOJAY_USER / FOOJAY_PASSWORD) wired through the workflow as optional secrets; the script auto-skips foojay until both are configured Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
foojay runs Yoast SEO, so the canonical URL is now sent as meta._yoast_wpseo_canonical on the WP draft. Yoast registers that key as a REST-exposed post meta, so the standard /wp-json/wp/v2/posts payload carries it through. The visible "originally published" line at the top of the draft body is dropped — Yoast handles the SEO directive and the "What is Codename One" blurb still provides reader-facing attribution.

foojay.io has Wordfence configured to disable WordPress Application Passwords, so there is no usable Basic Auth path for the WP REST API from the syndication script. Removing the foojay code path until / unless foojay editorial offers an alternative auth method (JWT, per-user API key, etc.). The User-Agent header and skip-when-unconfigured behaviour introduced alongside the foojay work are kept — they are useful for the remaining platforms.

Adds scripts/website/syndicate_browser_posts.py — a Playwright-based counterpart to the API syndicator. Each target site has its own adapter (login + draft submission). State and post selection are shared with the API script via syndication-state.json, so a post is "candidate" until all configured platforms — API and browser — have a record. Adapters: - foojay: hybrid path. Playwright drives wp-login.php to obtain a real session (Wordfence has Application Passwords disabled, so token auth is out), then the script POSTs the draft via /wp-json/wp/v2/posts using the session cookies + X-WP-Nonce. Pure UI submission was attempted but Cloudflare in front of foojay challenges form POSTs and drops the payload, so drafts never landed. Yoast canonical isn't REST-writable on this Yoast install, so the canonical is surfaced as a visible note at the top of the draft body for the editor reviewer. Validated end- to-end against the live site (draft #123656). - hackernoon, dzone, medium: standard browser flow. Selectors are best-effort and need a one-time validation pass against each live site via --validate-only --headed. medium has no password login, so it relies on a base64-encoded MEDIUM_STORAGE_STATE secret exported from a manually logged-in browser session. Workflow additions: - Detects whether any browser-syndication secret is configured; only installs Playwright + Chromium when something will actually run. - Uploads the Playwright screenshot directory as a CI artifact on any outcome (kept for 14 days), so selector failures are debuggable. - Screenshots dir is gitignored. Per-platform secrets (all optional; missing = platform skipped): FOOJAY_USER, FOOJAY_PASSWORD HACKERNOON_USER, HACKERNOON_PASSWORD DZONE_USER, DZONE_PASSWORD MEDIUM_STORAGE_STATE Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
