Thought Process +**Redesigning render output path logic** + +I’m working through updating the render output paths to remove the daily folder concept entirely, restructuring sequences to go directly under `Renders\` or `Renders\\`. This means removing all daily path references and adjusting settings, eval expressions, and functions accordingly, while ensuring the blend name drives folder naming instead of job name or daily paths. There's complexity balancing backward compatibility and clarity, but I’m focusing on simplifying by basing paths on the blend file stem and cleaning out obsolete daily-related code. +**Detailing patch preparation for daily removal** + +I’m refining the plan to remove all daily path handling, carefully adjusting path parts buildup to exclude daily while allowing empty strings in path joins without breaking structure. I’m systematically identifying code blocks to remove or update, including settings entries, print statements, and obsolete functions like `formatDailyYYMMDD`. Next, I’ll create a precise patch with multiple changes to ensure all references to daily paths get cleared consistently across relevant scripts.

Thought Process +**Analyzing lambda evaluation scope issues** + +I'm figuring out why the new lambda-based eval code can't see the `settings` variable, while the old string eval could. It looks like Python lambdas capture free variables differently, needing `settings` passed explicitly as a parameter, so I'll modify the lambda to accept `settings` and update the calls accordingly to fix the NameError problem.
