Step: Real upload needs TikTok credentials (cookies, sessionid, or username/password), which were not supplied.

No TikTok account credentials provided; the CLI raises InsufficientAuth.

Suggested next step (agent-reported): Supply a TikTok cookies file (-c), sessionid (-s), or username and password (-u/-p) for your own account, plus a browser that Playwright can drive for a real upload. Optional wording fix, not applied: add a docstring to class InsufficientAuth in src/auth.py and src/tiktok_video_uploader/auth.py, e.g. 'No TikTok account credentials provided'.

  "README CLI example needs -c cookies.txt (or -s/-u/-p). Ran the same command without credentials; it fails with InsufficientAuth. The message is only 'src.auth.InsufficientAuth: None' because InsufficientAuth.__init__ falls back to self.__doc__, and the class has no docstring (src/auth.py:197 and src/tiktok_video_uploader/auth.py:197). The earlier run's message 'No TikTok account credentials provided' is not produced by this copy, so the credentials_error check cannot match its text. Source was not edited (task rule: do not hand-edit product source)."
