This is an interesting idea, watch streak milestones are a recent addition to Twitch's existing watch streak system and we haven't updated the miner to handle them specifically. From what I can see in the current way we capture events for watch streaks (community-points-user-v1 in the WebSockets) the data doesn't include any indication of the milestone reached. I'll try and monitor the web traffic around the time of a milestone and see if I can figure out if this is possible.

Just did a little research on this. There are a couple of things we could make use of:

1. RewardList GQL operation
   This allows you to get an active Watch Streak milestone. The request looks like:

{
    "operationName": "RewardList",
    "variables": {
        "shouldIncludeAllSuspendedStreaks": false,
        "channelID": "..."
    },
    "extensions": {
        "persistedQuery": {
            "version": 1,
            "sha256Hash": "0b1471876d7647993731b9e3c6a13bf304c67fb31d07f06a945d42286ee377c4"
        }
    }
}

And the response looks like:

{
    "data": {
        "channel": {
            "id": "...",
            "self": {
                "watchStreakMilestone": {
                    "watchStreakMilestone": {
                        "id": "...",
                        "value": "1",
                        "category": "WATCH_STREAK",
                        "achievementTimestamp": "...",
                        "shareStatus": "CAN_NOT_SHARE",
                        "__typename": "ViewerMilestone"
                    },
                    "watchStreakThreshold": 3,
                    "watchStreakCopoBonus": 350,
                    "state": "ACTIVE",
                    "missedStreams": null,
                    "expiresAt": null,
                    "__typename": "WatchStreakMilestone"
                },
                "__typename": "ChannelSelfEdge"
            },
            "__typename": "Channel"
        }
    },
    "extensions": {
        "durationMilliseconds": 10,
        "operationName": "RewardList",
        "requestID": "..."
    }
}

So you can see when the last streak milestone was completed and the threshold for the next milestone.
If you don't have a streak, maybe you're watching a new streamer, the data looks like this:

{
    "data": {
        "channel": {
            "id": "...",
            "self": {
                "watchStreakMilestone": {
                    "watchStreakMilestone": {
                        "id": "",
                        "value": "0",
                        "category": "WATCH_STREAK",
                        "achievementTimestamp": null,
                        "shareStatus": "CAN_NOT_SHARE",
                        "__typename": "ViewerMilestone"
                    },
                    "watchStreakThreshold": 3,
                    "watchStreakCopoBonus": 350,
                    "state": "NONE",
                    "missedStreams": null,
                    "expiresAt": null,
                    "__typename": "WatchStreakMilestone"
                },
                "__typename": "ChannelSelfEdge"
            },
            "__typename": "Channel"
        }
    },
    "extensions": {
        "durationMilliseconds": 10,
        "operationName": "RewardList",
        "requestID": "..."
    }
}

We could potentially use these to sync the current watch streak milestone state, useful when the miner first starts and to cover WebSocket downtime.

2. viewer-milestones WebSocket topic
   This allows you to get information about when you've advanced a watch streak milestone. You subscribe like this (for the Hermes API):

{
    "type": "subscribe",
    "id": "...",
    "subscribe": {
        "id": "...",
        "type": "pubsub",
        "pubsub": {
            "topic": "viewer-milestones.[user id].[channel id]"
        }
    },
    "timestamp": "..."
}

and you get events like this:

{
    "notification": {
        "subscription": {
            "id": "..."
        },
        "type": "pubsub",
        "pubsub": "{\"type\":\"watch-streak\",\"data\":{\"watch_streak_value\":\"2\",\"share_status\":\"CAN_NOT_SHARE\",\"milestone_id\":\"...\",\"watch_streak_threshold\":3,\"watch_streak_reset\":false,\"watch_streak_reward\":350}}"
    },
    "id": "...",
    "type": "notification",
    "timestamp": "..."
}

This would let us know when the milestone has advanced (i.e. we've earned the current stream's watch streak) and comparing watch_streak_value to watch_streak_threshold might tell us if we've hit a milestone. We could then log this with a custom Event to show to the user.
