OAuth Browser Profile

Use this reference when LangBot or LangBot Space needs GitHub OAuth login and the agent must reuse the authenticated browser state later.

Read skills/.env first for LANGBOT_BACKEND_URL, LANGBOT_FRONTEND_URL, LANGBOT_BROWSER_PROFILE, LANGBOT_CHROMIUM_EXECUTABLE, and proxy defaults.

Rules

  • Never handle the user's GitHub password, passkey, recovery code, or 2FA secret.
  • Open a visible browser and let the user complete credential steps.
  • Reuse a fixed browser profile path.
  • Do not print token values. It is acceptable to report localStorage key names.

Manual Visible Login Flow

  1. Verify LangBot backend is reachable with service-startup.md.
  2. Launch a visible Chromium window with the persistent profile:
bash
setsid "$LANGBOT_CHROMIUM_EXECUTABLE" \
  --no-sandbox \
  --ozone-platform=x11 \
  --user-data-dir="$LANGBOT_BROWSER_PROFILE" \
  --proxy-server="$LANGBOT_PROXY_SOCKS" \
  --proxy-bypass-list="$LANGBOT_NO_PROXY" \
  "$LANGBOT_BACKEND_URL/login" \
  >/tmp/langbot-visible-chrome.log 2>&1 < /dev/null &
  1. The user completes:
text
Login with Space -> Login with GitHub -> GitHub credentials / 2FA -> authorize
  1. The agent can then reuse the same profile for automated checks.

Expected Successful State

After login, LangBot should redirect away from /login, for example to a /home/... URL on the selected origin.

Expected visible signals:

text
LangBot
Dashboard
Home
Bots
Pipelines
Knowledge
Extensions

Expected localStorage key names:

text
token
userEmail
langbot_language

If the user logged in on one origin but LANGBOT_FRONTEND_URL still shows /login, copy only the auth state needed between origins. Do not print token values.
