+Fixed the error messages. They referenced the old script name (`UpdateProjectBatches.ps1`); deployment is now handled by `ConfigLoader.ps1`.
+
+The error is correct: `config.json` isn't at `P:\250827_FestivalTurf\Renders\.config\config.json` because the files haven't been deployed yet.
+
+To fix this, run `ConfigLoader.ps1` from the ProjectStructure directory. It will:
+1. Prompt for the project path (`P:\250827_FestivalTurf`)
+2. Deploy `config.json` and `GetStructDir.ps1` to `P:\250827_FestivalTurf\.config\`
+3. Update all the batch files in the project
+
+After deployment, `UpdateSequences.bat` should work. The error messages now point to the correct script.

+Fixed. `UpdateSequences.bat` is in subdirectories like `Renders\04 Securing Your Seam\`, so it needs to go up two levels to reach the project root, not one.
+
+The script now goes up two levels (`..\..`) to find `P:\250827_FestivalTurf\.config\config.json`.

+Redeploy with `ConfigLoader.ps1` to update all `UpdateSequences.bat` files in the project, then test again.
