+
+I can see that the `UpdateSequences.bat` script is still looking for folders with the old `daily_*` pattern, but now that we've updated the date format to YYYY-MM-DD, it needs to be updated to scan for the new format. Let me update this script:

+
+Perfect! I've updated the `UpdateSequences.bat` script to work with the new YYYY-MM-DD date format. Here's what changed:
+
+## Key Changes:
+
+### **Folder Pattern Update:**
+- **Before**: `for /d %%D in (daily_*) do (`
+- **After**: `for /d %%D in (????-??-??) do (`
+
+### **Pattern Explanation:**
+The new pattern `????-??-??` will match folders with the format:
+- `????` = 4 digits for year (e.g., 2023)
+- `-` = literal hyphen
+- `??` = 2 digits for month (e.g., 12)
+- `-` = literal hyphen  
+- `??` = 2 digits for day (e.g., 15)
+
+This will now correctly scan for folders like:
+- `2023-12-15`
+- `2024-01-03`
+- `2024-12-31`
+
+## What This Means:
+
+1. **Compatibility**: The script now works with the new date format you've implemented
+2. **Pattern Matching**: Uses Windows wildcard patterns that are more precise than the old `daily_*` pattern
+3. **Future-Proof**: Will work with dates up to 9999-99-99 (though realistically up to 2099-12-31)
+
+The script will now properly scan and process your daily folders that use the YYYY-MM-DD format, maintaining all the existing functionality for mirroring sequences and creating the `_CURRENT` directory structure.
