Xiaohongshu browser-first collection

Read runtime.md before startup and cover-screening.md before visual selection.

First-run conversation

Before collection, tell the user:

• the recommended first-run batch is 25 notes;
• the count is adjustable, but 25 is recommended;
• collection is read-only and saves sanitized research evidence and requested images locally;
• login does not authorize likes, saves, comments, follows, uploads, or publication.

If required settings are missing, stop and invoke onboard-growth-lab. Give the user the exact configuration file and fields from CONFIGURATION.md; never ask them to paste a key, cookie, or signed URL into the conversation.

Runtime

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File collectors/xiaohongshu-mcp/scripts/start_xiaohongshu_service.ps1
python collectors/xiaohongshu-mcp/scripts/collect_xiaohongshu.py "<topic>" `
  --limit 25 --cover-pool 25 `
  --out "memory/xhs-replicate/<run>/xiaohongshu-search.json"

The service must be local HTTP only. If it is not logged in, explain the boundary, ask before opening the visible login window, run login_xiaohongshu.ps1, verify once, and resume. Stop on timeout, risk-control, login loss, or repeated empty responses; do not loop around platform controls.
