+"""relay_session_transcripts.py — ship Claude session transcripts to the relay.
+
+Why
+---
+The Cloud Logging relay (bin/server.js /api/v1/installations/logs) carries
+subprocess output and tool-call events, but NOT what the Claude sessions on a
+user's box actually said/did: the scheduled queue-worker sessions (`claude -p`
+runs under ~/.s4l-worker) and any Code-tab / CLI sessions in the s4l repos.
+When Karol's setup stalled on 2026-07-03 the single most useful artifact (the
+session transcript) only existed on his Mac. This script closes that gap: it
+incrementally tails the session .jsonl transcripts Claude Code writes under
+~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/<session-id>.jsonl, compacts each message to
+a bounded record, and POSTs them through the SAME relay lane the pipeline logs
+use (X-Installation auth, no GCP creds on the client). Query in Log Explorer:
+
+    jsonPayload.install_id="<uuid>" AND jsonPayload.context:"transcript:"
+
+Privacy scope: ONLY transcripts whose encoded project dir looks s4l-related
+(social-autoposter repos, the ~/.s4l-worker scheduled-task dir) are relayed.
+An operator/dev Mac has many unrelated personal sessions under
+~/.claude/projects; those never match and are never read. Override the match
+with S4L_TRANSCRIPT_DIR_RE (a Python regex over the encoded dir name).
+
+Design
+------
+- Durable per-file byte offsets in ~/.social-autoposter-mcp/transcript-relay-
+  state.json, so each run ships only NEW lines (safe to run every few minutes).
+- Only complete lines are consumed; a partial trailing line (session mid-write)
+  waits for the next run.
+- Message VALUES are truncated hard (text 1500 chars, tool_result 400) and the
+  whole relay line is capped, so a pathological session can't flood the lane.
+- Global per-run line cap (--max-lines); the remainder ships on the next run.
+- Best-effort everywhere: a malformed record, unreadable file, or POST failure
+  never raises out of main(); offsets only advance for lines actually accepted.
+
+Called every 5 minutes by the MCP server (mcp/src/index.ts) while Claude
+Desktop is open. Also runnable by hand:
