- It prints `no new posts for <user>` when a profile is caught up.

- Reels also show up in the main grid. `~/gdl/run-reels-all.sh` sweeps the separate Reels tab
too (~15 min) and is rarely needed.
- **Then sweep the Reels tab too:** `~/gdl/run-reels-all.sh` (~15 min). Most reels never
appear in the main grid. On 2026-10-23 only 3 of heejin's 114 reels did, so `posts-sync.sh`
alone misses them. `reels-sync.sh <user>` does a single profile.
**Once a gallery-dl release fixes the listing**, one command covers posts, reels, stories and
highlights for all six profiles:
**Or the whole thing in one command**, the same run the weekly timer does: gallery-dl for
stories and highlights, then the browser for every profile's posts grid and Reels tab, each
stopping once it reaches archived content:
```sh
~/gdl/run-profiles.sh # ~5 min
~/gdl/run-profiles.sh
```
Once a gallery-dl release fixes the listing, `GDL_LISTING=api ~/gdl/run-profiles.sh` does posts
and reels through gallery-dl again (~5 min).
For long runs, detach:
`setsid nohup ~/gdl/run-profiles.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &`, then
`tail -f ~/gdl/logs/$(ls -1t ~/gdl/logs | head -1)`.

(`--max-known-rounds`, round 1 exempt because pinned posts sit on top) there is nothing newer to
find. First run, `heejin`: 3 scrolls, 36 posts seen, 30 already held, 6 new.
Same caveats as reels: it drives the signed-in Chrome on `:9222`, so it is by hand, not on a
timer. Once a gallery-dl release fixes the listing, `run-profiles.sh` covers posts again and
this goes back to being a fallback.
**Scheduled since 2026-10-23.** `gdl-cron.sh profiles` and `full-sweep` now list posts *and*
reels this way: gallery-dl only does `--only stories,highlights`, then `chrome-sync.sh` runs per
profile for the `posts` grid and the `reels` tab (both tabs needed: on 10-23 only 3 of heejin's
114 reels were in the main grid). `profiles` uses the early stop (2 known rounds) on both tabs,
and `full-sweep` scrolls every grid to the bottom. A failed browser step fails the run, which
shows on Healthchecks. This reverses the earlier "by hand only" decision on purpose: the API
listing is broken and the owner chose the browser. The trade-off is that unattended runs now
need Chrome up on `:9222` with a live session, and they open and close their own tabs in it.
`GDL_LISTING=api` restores the all-gallery-dl run once a release fixes gh#9829.
**Deploy scripts atomically, never in place.** bash reads a script as it runs, so overwriting
`gdl-cron.sh` under a running sync makes bash resume at the same byte offset in the *new* text.

**Not wired into `gdl-cron.sh` or the timers.** Both scripts drive your
actual browser session rather than firing a background request, and are
slower by design (real scrolling, not an API call) — both good reasons not
