# Phase 2 — Compass login + fetch notes
|
|
|
|
Status: **partially proven.** The browser path to Compass works; the login and
|
|
per-child fetch are blocked on a Compass credential that is not available to the
|
|
agent. See AUD-104.
|
|
|
|
## Harness used
|
|
|
|
- `pi-browser-harness` **v0.11.0**
|
|
(`/home/sam/.agents/extensions/pi-browser-harness/package.json`).
|
|
- Entrypoint: the pi extension `src/index.ts` plus its long-lived daemon
|
|
`src/daemon/index.ts`. The daemon bridges `pi → Unix socket
|
|
(/tmp/pi-browser-daemon.sock) → Chrome DevTools Protocol`.
|
|
- Chrome: systemd user service `chrome-pi.service`
|
|
(`/home/sam/.config/systemd/user/chrome-pi.service`), `--headless=new`,
|
|
`--remote-debugging-port=9222`, `--user-data-dir=/home/sam/.chrome-pi`.
|
|
- The Phase 2 fetcher (`scripts/compass-fetch.mjs`) talks to the harness daemon
|
|
socket and drives the harness's Chrome over CDP.
|
|
|
|
## Compass
|
|
|
|
- URL: `https://nhs-vic.compass.education/login.aspx` (Northcote High School).
|
|
- Login form: `#username`, `#password`, hidden `browserFingerprint`,
|
|
`__RequestVerificationToken`, submit `#button1`
|
|
(`formaction="/login?handler=Login"`). Also present: a SAML button and
|
|
**"Parent sign in with one-time code"** (`formaction="/login?handler=OtpSignin"`).
|
|
|
|
## Cloudflare finding (important)
|
|
|
|
Compass is behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. With the default
|
|
`HeadlessChrome` user agent, the challenge loops forever
|
|
(`title="Just a moment..."`, body "Compass is verifying your connection...").
|
|
The fix that works:
|
|
|
|
1. Override the user agent to a normal desktop Chrome UA
|
|
(`Network.setUserAgentOverride`), and
|
|
2. run the page in an **isolated browser context**
|
|
(`Target.createBrowserContext`) so stale `cf_clearance` / `cf_chl_rc_ni`
|
|
cookies from earlier attempts do not loop the challenge.
|
|
|
|
With both, the challenge clears in ~5 s and the real login page loads. Both are
|
|
implemented in `scripts/compass-fetch.mjs`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- `var/` is git-ignored. Raw pages stay local, never committed.

|
|
|
|
## Blocked on
|
|
|
|
A Compass account credential (not `HeadlessChrome`-related, not a Cloudflare
|
|
issue). Nothing matching `COMPASS*`, `SCHOOL*`, `NORTHCOTE*`, `HARRY*`, `FINN*`,
|
|
or `TEAMS*` exists in `~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf` or the paperclip
|
|
secrets available to the agent. The account can be a parent/guardian account or
|
|
per-child; confirmation of whether Compass enforces a one-time code on a new
|
|
device is also needed.
|
|
|
|
## Smallest useful scope for Phase 3
|
|
|
|
The login page exposes a username/password form and a parent one-time-code
|
|
option. Until a login succeeds we cannot enumerate the per-child page URLs, so
|
|
the smallest useful scope cannot be fixed yet. It is expected to be the
|
|
"today/planner" page plus the messages/notices list, which is what answers "what
|
|
is overdue".
