twitter-cli uses this auth priority:
1. **Environment variables**: `TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN` + `TWITTER_CT0`
2. **Browser cookies** (recommended): auto-extract from Arc/Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Brave
2. **Cookie file**: `TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE` or `config.yaml -> auth.cookieFile`
3. **Browser cookies** (recommended): auto-extract from Arc/Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Brave
If you already exported a Netscape-format `cookies.txt`, point the CLI at it:
```bash
export TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/cookies.txt
twitter whoami
```
Or in `config.yaml`:
```yaml
auth:
cookieFile: /path/to/cookies.txt
```
Browser extraction is recommended — it forwards ALL Twitter cookies (not just `auth_token` + `ct0`) and aligns request headers with your local runtime, which is closer to normal browser traffic than minimal cookie auth.
