+# Update project date format in config (2025-10-30 17:26Z)
+
+_**User (2025-10-30 17:26Z)**_
+
+@NewProject.bat (1-59) we forgot to set the project date to YYMMDD_ for work config.@2025-10-27_16-57Z-reapply-work-configuration-to-repository.md
+
+---
+
+_**Assistant (default)**_
+
+Thought Process
**Modifying project scripts**
+
+I need to change NewProject.bat to set the project date in the format YYMMDD_ for the work config. Right now, it uses 'YYYY-MM-DD_ProjectName,' but they want the projectRoot formatted like '251030_ProjectName.' I think I need to create %yy%%mm%%dd%_ as part of that. The current yy variable gets the two-digit year, but I’ll make sure the date parsing works with different locales. I’ll ensure everything has an underscore after the date before the project name.
+**Adjusting date logic in script**
+
+I’m clarifying that if the yy variable is 2025, it gets set correctly. When using "tokens=2-4," I’ll end up with '10,' '30,' and '2025' for a typical US date format. So, yy will stay as '2025', and to get a two-digit year, I'll just use %yy:-2%.
+
+Next, I’ll adjust NewProject.bat using apply_patch to change the date logic. I’m thinking we can keep the existing lines, adding a line to compute the yymmdd variable and then setting projectRoot to %yymmdd%_%projectName%.
+**Finalizing script updates**
+
+I need to ensure I update the echo success message while keeping it unchanged — just two lines to worry about. It's important to preserve the indentation since the script uses no tabs and starts at the beginning of each line to maintain style.
+
+I'll apply the patch accordingly and check for any lines that reference the projectRoot structure to ensure they remain unaffected. After this edit, I'll provide a brief summary and a status update before making any tool calls. Alright, let's proceed!Thought Process
**Reading file for patching**
+
+I need to read the file to get the exact contents for applying the patch accurately. The first step here is to use the read_file function. Once I have the content, I can apply the patch correctly. It feels important to ensure precision in this process so that everything fits perfectly. I'm curious if the patch will align well with the content once I get it! Let's focus on accuracy.Thought Process
**Applying code changes**
+
+I'm focusing on applying a patch by inserting a new line after the "set yyyy" line to "set yymmdd." Then, I'll also change the "projectRoot" line. It's important to use the "apply_patch" method while keeping the exact context lines intact. I'll need to make those adjustments carefully to ensure everything works correctly without any errors. Let's proceed with this method and get it done smoothly!
+ Apply patch for A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\NewProject.bat

+There's a lot to adjust here! I’m creating a new `NewProject/Renders` folder to hold copies of zipped batch files and modifying `NewProject.bat` plus `UpgradeToGitProj.bat` to stop copying `NewDaily.bat` to Renders while copying the zipped scripts from this new location. Also, I’m simplifying `UpdateSequences.ps1` by removing the creation and use of `_CURRENT` folders and streamlining it to rename sequences in place based on their containing folders. This means cutting code related to copying, logging, and `_CURRENT` management, ensuring the renaming still works correctly without obsolete folder logic. I’ll organize these changes stepwise, keeping the new directory structure and script references consistent.

+- [x] Add `ZipSeqArchv.bat` and `UnzipSeqArchv.bat` into `NewProject/Renders/`, pointing to `A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\zip_sequences.py`.

+**Analyzing script copy issues and troubleshooting**
+
+I’m piecing together why the batch files might not have been copied to the Renders folder despite testing showing success. It seems the user might be running an outdated script version or from a different path, possibly outside the repo root, which could cause the copy commands to fail or point to the wrong locations. The git safe directory error may have aborted the commit step, but copies still occur beforehand. There’s a chance the user is confusing outputs from different runs or test folders, so I want to guide them to verify the script version, run it from the root folder, confirm the zipped files exist, and perhaps clean up old test folders. I’ll prepare a response summarizing these checks and clarifying the copy behavior despite the git error.Thought Process

+**Updating batch scripts for project root context**

+I’m adjusting the ZipSeqArchv.bat and Unzip scripts so they run inside the Renders folder but set the working directory to the project root (parent folder). This involves setting RENDERS_DIR and PROJECT_ROOT variables properly, using pushd to switch directory, and adding logs for missing scripts or Python.

+Thought Process
+**Enhancing sequence handling to exclude _archive directories**
+
+I’m planning to update sequence-related functions to fully ignore any folders named `_archive`. This involves adjusting directory walking methods to skip `_archive` both when finding sequences and when zipping files, using path checks and filtering the directory names to avoid recursion into those folders. For consistency, I’ll also replace top-level iteration with recursive walks that apply these filters, ensuring zipped archives and computed states exclude any `_archive` contents. Adding helper functions to detect `_archive` in paths will keep things clean and reusable. Next, I’ll implement these changes to make sequence processing reliably skip archived data.Tool use: **code_edit** • Edit file: zip_sequences.py

+**Adjusting sequence renaming logic for _CURRENT folders**
+
+I'm working through changing the UpdateSequences.ps1 script so that when it encounters a folder named `_CURRENT`, it uses the parent folder’s name for renaming sequences instead of `_CURRENT`. This involves building a sequence list with custom objects holding both path and effective sequence name, plus helper functions to resolve the right sequence name by climbing up from `_CURRENT` folders. The goal is to rename files according to their containing folder rather than `_CURRENT`, fixing issues where files were incorrectly prefixed with `_CURRENT`. I'll also ensure lists avoid duplicates and update loops to work with these objects. This should clarify the naming and better reflect the current folder structure.Tool use: **code_edit** • Edit file: UpdateSequences.ps1

+**Refactoring sequenceFolders handling**
+
+I'm switching from using `[ref]` with arrays to managing `$sequenceFolders` as a `System.Collections.ArrayList`, which allows adding items dynamically. I'll update the `Add-SequenceFolder` function to accept and manipulate this ArrayList directly, and handle sorting later by converting it to a normal array. This approach should fix issues with fixed-size arrays and simplify the collector parameter usage.Tool use: **code_edit** • Edit file: UpdateSequences.ps1

+Thought Process
+**Handling file rename collisions with archival and deduplication**
+
+I'm thinking through how to handle cases when renamed target files already exist—likely duplicates from previous partial renames involving `_CURRENT` folders. The plan is to compare timestamps and sizes to deduplicate: if files are identical, remove the source `_CURRENT` file; if different, move the existing target to an `_archive` folder (creating it if needed) before renaming the source. This approach keeps only the latest versions per frame, avoids losing data, and ensures no `_CURRENT` files remain after the script runs. I'll integrate this logic carefully, including unique naming in `_archive` to avoid further collisions and adjust counters and logging accordingly.Tool use: **code_edit** • Edit file: UpdateSequences.ps1
