 ### WP_LOGIN_COOKIE
 
-You need to be logged into jailbirdz.com in a browser. Then either:
-
-**Option A — auto (recommended):** let `grab_cookie.py` read it from your browser and write it to `.env` automatically:
-
-```bash
-python grab_cookie.py              # tries Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave in order
-python grab_cookie.py -b firefox   # or target a specific browser
-```
-
-> **Note:** Chrome and Edge on Windows 130+ require the script to run as Administrator due to App-bound Encryption. Firefox works without elevated privileges.
+**Option A — credentials (recommended):** set `WP_USERNAME` and `WP_PASSWORD` in `.env`. `main.py` logs in automatically on startup — no separate step needed.
 
 **Option B — manual:** open `.env` and set `WP_LOGIN_COOKIE` yourself. Get the value from browser DevTools → Storage → Cookies while on jailbirdz.com — copy the full `name=value` of the `wordpress_logged_in_*` cookie.
 
 ### Other `.env` values
 
+- `WP_USERNAME` — jailbirdz.com login (email or username).
+- `WP_PASSWORD` — jailbirdz.com password.
 - `PEERTUBE_URL` — base URL of your PeerTube instance.
 - `PEERTUBE_USER` — PeerTube username.
 - `PEERTUBE_CHANNEL` — channel to upload to.

 Uploads in resumable 10 MB chunks. After each batch, waits for transcoding and object storage to complete before uploading the next batch — this prevents disk exhaustion on the PeerTube server. Videos already present on the channel (matched by name) are skipped. Progress is tracked in `.uploaded` inside the input directory.
 
+## CI / Nightly Indexing
+
+`.github/workflows/nightly-index.yml` runs `main.py` at 03:00 UTC daily and commits any new `video_map.json` entries back to the repo.
+
+**One-time setup — add repo secrets:**
+
+```bash
+gh secret set WP_USERNAME
+gh secret set WP_PASSWORD
+```
+
+**Seed CI with your current progress before the first run:**
+
+```bash
+git add video_map.json && git commit -m "chore: seed video_map"
+```
+
+**Trigger manually:** Actions → Nightly Index → Run workflow.
