Importance: High. Tasks: Pending (needs Sam's OAuth action).

What was done

Sam asked to (1) negate both 'find legal help' and 'doran law', and (2) pull more served-search-term negatives across competitors, out-of-practice-area, too-generic, and out-of-geo. I could not execute live: every Google Ads auth lane is down this session.

Why the session ended / blocker

Lane diagnosis (per Sam's 'try alternate lanes before reporting blocked'):

• NotFair MCP: disconnected from this Cowork session (ran read-only earlier today per the CallRail handoff, so its server link may still be alive elsewhere).
• Direct REST, vault primary OAuth: deleted_client.
• Direct REST, SAIL alt OAuth (lunar-arc project): deleted_client.
• Direct REST, repo google-ads.yaml OAuth: deleted_client.

Root cause: the OAuth clients were DELETED in Google Cloud, not just expired tokens. Refresh can never succeed until a new OAuth client is created and a new refresh token is minted. googleads.googleapis.com itself is reachable from the sandbox, so the direct REST lane works the moment creds are valid.

What I staged (executes on reconnect)

• Repos/sail-googleads/negatives_audit.py: pulls 90 days of served search terms (impressions > 0), buckets into competitor / out_of_practice_area / too_generic / out_of_geo, prints a review table, and with --apply pushes PHRASE negatives to the correct shared lists. Seeded with the two approved terms.
• Documents/Codex/Google-Ads-Negative-Candidates_2026-06-13.md: human-readable status, criteria, list routing, run steps, unblock path.
• Channel-health note enriched with the deleted_client root cause.

Shared-list routing: competitor -> 12074205339; out-of-practice-area -> 12060898974 (Universal Negatives); too-generic + out-of-geo -> 12074205336 (General Negatives). Service area KY/IN only. ('richardson law group' already added 2026-06-09, changeId 191445.)

Recommended next actions

1. Recreate an OAuth client in the GCP project, grant consent, mint a refresh token, update vault.env + google-ads.yaml. I can drive the GCP console + consent via Claude in Chrome with Sam, or Sam reconnects NotFair and I run negatives there.
2. Then run python3 negatives_audit.py --apply (or --seed-only --apply for just the two approved). Dry-run first to review buckets.
3. While the lane is down, the daily-briefing ad-account hack-watch (budget/location/new-campaign checks) is blind. Worth prioritizing the reconnect.
