+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

+**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

+**Verifying archive path handling and script execution**
+
+I’m checking how `archivePath` is logged—whether to use the full path or just the name—and confirming that `Move-Item` usage is correct without a `-LiteralPath` option for destination. I’m also ensuring date formats are properly quoted and thinking through how to handle filename collisions with `Join-Path`. Next, I plan to run the `UpdateSequences.ps1` script from the appropriate `Renders` folder to confirm everything behaves as expected.Tool use: **command** • Run command: Set-Location "A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\251104_Turbotote\Renders"
