REQUIRED IN PRACTICE. Reddit account session cookies, as a JSON object or a '; '-delimited cookie header; the blob must contain reddit_session. Since 2026-07-30 Reddit blocks EVERY anonymous read surface, so a call without cookies returns a classified UPSTREAM_BLOCKED rather than data. Obtain the blob from reddit-login.post, or copy the reddit_session cookie out of a signed-in browser. A lead-gen account-pool row stores it nested at cookies->>'sessionCookies', not at the row's top level.· default: null
