+# Client Onboarding & Fleet Runbook (`CLIENT-ONBOARDING-RUNBOOK.md`)
+
+## 1. Overview & Agency Context
+This document defines the complete standard operating procedure (SOP) and automated runbook for provisioning, authenticating, and onboarding client agency profiles (nodes) into the NetVM multi-tenant fleet on `bl`.
+
+In accordance with the NetVM Ethics Charter (`https://start.muse-dev.online/ethics.html`):
+- Managed services are strictly run for consenting clients with explicit authority.
+- Every client receives a completely isolated network namespace (`warp-<node>`), dedicated WireGuard tunnel identity, isolated Chrome profile, and separate credentials.
+- Canonical Naming Convention: `node == agent == profile == API account`.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Fleet Architecture & Port Allocation
+
+The fleet uses a deterministic `94x0` CDP port and `warp-<node>` naming convention:
+
+| Node | CDP Port | Netns | Egress IP | Purpose / Profile |
+|------|----------|-------|-----------|-------------------|
+| `muse` | `9410` | `warp-muse` | Dedicated WARP | Primary Dev / Orchestrator |
+| `pip` | `9420` | `warp-pip` | Dedicated WARP | Production Agent |
+| `646` | `9430` | `warp-646` | Dedicated WARP | Production Agent |
+| `opm` | `9440` | `warp-opm` | Dedicated WARP | Production Agent |
+| `def` | `9450` | `warp-def` | Dedicated WARP | Production Agent |
+| `<new>` | `9460+` | `warp-<new>`| Dedicated WARP | Next provisioned client node |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Step-by-Step Client Onboarding SOP
+
+### Phase 1: Infrastructure Provisioning (Automated)
+Run the idempotent node provisioning script to generate the WireGuard identity, network namespace, CDP relay, and chrome-box profile:
+
+```bash
+# Example: Provisioning node 'dev1'
+./bin/netvm-provision-node.sh dev1
+```
+*Verification:*
+- Namespace created: `ip netns list | grep warp-dev1`
+- Registry updated in `NODES.md` and `ACCOUNTS.md`.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Sign-in Initiation (`super cred initiate`)
+Launch the client login flow without handling raw passwords or secrets:
+
+```bash
+# For email OTP login:
+super cred initiate --node dev1 --email client@domain.com
+
+# Or via Python Agent API:
+python3 bin/cred-client.py initiate --node dev1 --email client@domain.com
+```
+
+- If already authenticated, exits `0` (`active`).
+- If awaiting verification code, exits `2` (`awaiting_otp`).
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Submitting Transient OTP (`super cred submit-otp`)
+When the client or operator receives the 6-digit email OTP:
+
+```bash
+super cred submit-otp --node dev1 --otp 123456
+```
+
+- The code is submitted transiently and is never persisted to disk or logs.
+- If the account directly enters chat, status transitions to `active`.
+- If the account requires age verification, it advances to Phase 4.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Resolving the Age Verification Gate (`/access/verification`)
+When a brand-new or unlinked client profile reaches the Muse age verification gate:
+
+#### Method A: Instagram Linking (Recommended)
+1. Run:
+   ```bash
+   super cred link-instagram --node dev1 [--notify]
+   ```
+2. The system provides a one-tap Tailscale portal URL:
+   `http://bl.tailfb5960.ts.net:8765/verify/dev1`
+3. **Crucial Rule**: The operator or client must link an **established / aged Instagram profile** (not created within minutes). Brand-new Instagram accounts lack mature age signals, causing Meta Accounts Center to disable the Confirm button.
+4. If completed via mobile/desktop browser, use an Incognito/Private window to prevent ambient Meta cookie bleed.
+5. If executing automated RPA in-browser, inject the Instagram credentials and security code directly into the container's CDP session.
+
+#### Method B: Credit Card Verification (Fallback)
+If Instagram linking is not available, operator can complete the verification using a client payment card on `/access/verification`.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Vitality & Status Monitoring
+Query individual or fleet-wide health:
+
+```bash
+# Check single node
+super cred status --node dev1
+
+# Check entire fleet
+super cred list
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Rate-Limiting & Operational Safety Rules
+
+To avoid platform anti-automation challenges and maintain high reputation:
+1. **Pacing / Spacing**: Space new node creations and Instagram authorizations by **at least 15–20 minutes** per IP/session.
+2. **Namespace Isolation**: Never attempt multi-account auth inside the same browser profile. Always execute inside the client's dedicated `warp-<node>` netns.
+3. **No Credential Logging**: Never print plain text passwords or authentication tokens to stdout, git-tracked markdown, or plain text logs.

+# Instagram Credential Pool Specification (`INSTAGRAM-CRED-POOL.md`)
+
+## 1. Overview & Agency Context
+When onboarding agency client profiles ("nodes") to Muse (`muse.ai`), new accounts and certain unconfirmed email accounts encounter the post-OTP Age Verification gate (`/access/verification`).
+
+While credit-card verification is not suitable for autonomous multi-tenant operations, **Meta OAuth / Instagram Linking** is the highest-reliability verification route. 
+
+Currently, the system uses a **Human-in-the-Loop** model:
+- An operator receives an authorization notification via Tailscale / email.
+- The operator signs into Instagram via a one-tap link from their mobile device or laptop.
+
+This specification details the future architecture for **Automated Instagram Credential Pooling** to remove human intervention entirely while strictly complying with the NetVM Ethics Charter (`https://start.muse-dev.online/ethics.html`).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Architecture & Design Principles
+
+### 2.1 Isolation & Multi-Tenancy (Ethics Charter Compliant)
+- **1-to-1 Node Mapping**: Each client node (`node == agent == profile == API account`) maintains dedicated browser state, WireGuard netns isolation (`warp-<node>`), and separate credentials.
+- **Dedicated IG Identities**: Instagram accounts in the pool are provisioned specifically for age-verification linking, never shared concurrently across different active client profiles.
+- **Encrypted Secret Storage**: Instagram credentials (username, password, 2FA TOTP secret, session cookies) are stored in an encrypted credential vault (e.g., `age`-encrypted `/etc/netvm/meta-credentials/store.age`), never committed in plain text to git or unencrypted markdown.
+
+### 2.2 Pool States & Lifecycle
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> Available : Provisioned & Verified
+    Available --> Assigned : Reserved for Node Onboarding
+    Assigned --> Linking : Navigating Meta OAuth in netns
+    Linking --> Linked : Age Gate Cleared on Muse
+    Linking --> Cooloff : Checkpoint / Rate-limit Hit
+    Cooloff --> Available : Cooldown Elapsed
+    Linked --> InUse : Node Active in Fleet
+```
+
+- **`available`**: Account is verified, healthy, and not currently tied to any active Muse profile.
+- **`assigned`**: Temporarily reserved by `super cred` for onboarding node `<node>`.
+- **`linking`**: Automated driver navigating the Meta Accounts Center flow inside the isolated namespace.
+- **`linked`**: Successfully bound to Muse account.
+- **`cooloff`**: Encountered challenge or cooldown; resting before re-qualification.
+
+### 2.3 Meta Account Center Constraints & Edge Cases
+- **1-to-1 Linking Constraint**: Meta Accounts Center rejects linking if the target Instagram account is already associated with an existing Meta / Muse profile (`auth_flow=ig_linking` drops to `add_accounts` error page with `token` and `blob` parameters).
+- **Brand New Account Age Gate Limitation**:
+  - Newly created Instagram accounts without a mature age/identity verification tier or age signal trigger Meta Accounts Center to disable the **"Confirm"** action (`aria-disabled="true"` on `/add_accounts/?flow=HATCH_AGE_VERIFICATION_IG_UPSELL`).
+  - Meta Accounts Center uses Instagram accounts for age verification by checking that the linked Instagram profile itself has established age signals. A freshly minted account created minutes prior lacks this profile history, leaving the age verification unsatisfied.
+  - **Agency Recommendation**: Pre-aged or verified Instagram identities in the pool with established age badges/profiles, or using established client identities, rather than accounts created in the immediate transaction.
+- **Session Bleed & OIDC Secondary Auth Trip (`auth.meta.com`)**:
+  - When the link is opened in a browser that has existing Meta session cookies (e.g. from Facebook, Oculus, or another Meta account), selecting the new Instagram identity triggers a secondary OpenID Connect reconciliation trip (`https://auth.meta.com/?waterfall_id=...&redirect_uri=auth.meta.com/oidc/...&source_app_id=633385687760560`).
+  - This prompts the user with **"Log in with your Meta account"** because the browser's ambient Meta session does not match the freshly authenticated Instagram identity.
+  - If the user confirms with their cached personal Meta credentials, Meta attempts to merge/link across two disparate account graphs, creating an authorization loop or conflict.
+  - **Resolution**: The link must strictly be opened in an **Incognito / Private window** or a completely clean browser profile with zero cached Meta/Facebook/Instagram cookies.
+- **In-Namespace Isolation**: Automated pool linking runs in Chromium directly inside `warp-<node>` with an isolated profile, avoiding cross-session cookie collisions entirely.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Automated Driver Mechanics
+
+### 3.1 Fetching Authorization Payload
+From the node's running browser tab sitting on `/access/verification`:
+```javascript
+const res = await fetch('/api/hatch/age-confirmation/linking-web-auth?account_type=instagram', {
+  headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
+}).then(r => r.json());
+// res.url: https://www.instagram.com/fxcal/auth/login/?app_id=...&next=...
+```
+
+### 3.2 Automated Headless Linking Flow
+1. Rather than opening a blocked popup, the driver navigates a dedicated worker tab inside the node's namespace (`warp-<node>`) to `res.url`.
+2. Inspects form fields:
+   - Username: `input[name="username"]`
+   - Password: `input[name="password"]`
+   - Submit: `button[type="submit"]`
+3. If 2FA prompt appears (`input[name="verificationCode"]` or email security code `auth_platform/codeentry`), handles code entry.
+4. Handles Meta Accounts Center confirmation button: `"Confirm"`, `"Allow"`, or `"Continue as <username>"`.
+5. Upon redirect back to `https://muse.ai/`, checks for DOM chat markers (`"Connected"`, `"Chats"`, or URL `/`).
+6. Updates node status in `ACCOUNTS.md` to `active`.
+
+### 3.3 Singular Email Multi-Client Onboarding via RPA
+- **The Concept**: For agency onboarding efficiency, an RPA pipeline can provision and link accounts for multiple consenting client nodes backed by sub-addressing / plus-addressing (e.g., `agency+client_node@domain.com`) or a managed singular operator email inbox.
+- **RPA Capabilities**:
+  - Automatically spins up the Instagram registration flow (submitting username, password, birthdate).
+  - Listens to the incoming email stream via IMAP / Gmail API / maildrop to ingest the Instagram security code / OTP without human roundtrips.
+  - Automatically submits the received code into the waiting Instagram code entry screen (`auth_platform/codeentry`).
+  - Solves any automated challenges/captchas through authorized agency captcha-solving harnesses.
+  - Passes the linked identity to Meta Accounts Center to clear the Muse age gate in seconds per node.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Pool CLI Surface (`super cred pool`)
+
+Planned CLI commands to be exposed once implemented:
+
+```bash
+# Check status of the credential pool
+super cred pool status
+
+# Add a provisioned Instagram credential to the encrypted pool
+super cred pool add --username <user> --password-file <path> [--totp-secret <secret>]
+
+# Trigger automated linking for a node in verification status
+super cred link-instagram --node <node> --auto
+
+# Human-in-the-loop manual fallback (current default)
+super cred link-instagram --node <node> --human
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Security & Risk Mitigations
+
+1. **Anti-Fingerprinting**: All Meta navigation occurs strictly inside the client's assigned `warp-<node>` network namespace to ensure consistent egress IP and prevent cross-node contamination.
+2. **Audit Logging**: Every pool acquisition and release event is recorded with timestamps in `job-log.jsonl` with credentials scrubbed/redacted.
+3. **Graceful Human Escalation**: If Meta serves an anti-automation challenge (e.g., CAPTCHA, SMS checkpoint), the automated pool driver immediately falls back to the Human-in-the-Loop Tailscale portal notification.
