Integrate new elements and update sequences (2025-11-06 17:01Z)

User (2025-11-06 17:01Z)

@t:\250827_FestivalTurf.specstory\history\2025-11-05_22-37Z-automate-compression-of-image-sequences.md we have new elements to integrate.

  1. Let's put ZipSeqArchv.bat and UnzipSeqArchv.bat in NewProject, placed in Renders.

  2. UpdateSequences: We're deprecating _CURRENT folders. UpdateSeq should only rename the sequences according to the folder in which they are contained.


Agent (model gpt-5-codex, mode Plan)

Thought Process Clarifying integration requirements


  1. Should ZipSeqArchv.bat and UnzipSeqArchv.bat be physically moved to NewProject\Renders\ in the repo, or just documented there?
  2. Which file defines UpdateSeq so I know where to adjust the rename logic (please share the path or filename)?

User (2025-11-06 17:01Z)

  1. They should be copied, like the other elements created in the New Project.

  2. @UpdateSequences.ps1

Also, we should no longer copy NewDaily to Renders.

Thought Process Outlining update automation plan

Im gathering all user instructions about moving batch files into the new project folder, removing _CURRENT folder usage in the sequence update script, and stopping copying of NewDaily folders to Renders. Ill organize these into clear, actionable plan steps including updating documentation, copying batch files, revising UpdateSequences.ps1 logic to rename only, and verifying removal of obsolete copying logic. This way, I can produce a coherent plan for the users review.


Tool use: **create_plan**

Parameters:

{
  "plan": "# Update Sequence Automation\n1. Document Updates: Extend `t:\\250827_FestivalTurf\\.specstory\\history\\2025-11-05_22-37Z-automate-compression-of-image-sequences.md` with the new batch locations and workflow changes.\n2. NewProject Assets: Add `ZipSeqArchv.bat` and `UnzipSeqArchv.bat` under `NewProject/Renders/`, preserving their pointer to `A:\\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\\3 ProjectStructure\\zip_sequences.py`.\n3. UpdateSequences Refactor: Modify `UpdateSequences.ps1` to drop `_CURRENT` handling and any folder copying, leaving only in-place renaming (images + MP4 previews) based on the enclosing folder names.\n4. Cleanup Copy Logic: Confirm there is no residual automation that copies “NewDaily” assets into `Renders`; remove or disable it if present.",
  "name": "sequence",
  "overview": "Copy the batch helpers into the NewProject scaffold and simplify UpdateSequences so it only normalizes filenames without mirroring folders."

Implement the plan as specified, it is attached for your reference. Do NOT edit the plan file itself.

To-do's from the plan have already been created. Do not create them again. Mark them as in_progress as you work, starting with the first one. Don't stop until you have completed all the to-dos.

Thought Process Appending documentation to specstory

I'll add a new entry at the end of the specstory file summarizing updates about copying batch files to NewProject/Renders and changes to UpdateSequences.ps1. I'll follow existing formatting with timestamps and user/agent labels, keeping the documentation concise but precise, then apply the patch to append it.

Thought Process Organizing batch scripts and updating sequence logic

There's a lot to adjust here! Im 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, Im 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. Ill organize these changes stepwise, keeping the new directory structure and script references consistent.

Thought Process Verifying script scope and next tasks

I'm checking if the logFile variable is correctly accessible inside the catch block, confirming that PowerShell try/catch share scope for variables. After ensuring the scripts meet requirements with no unintended copies, I plan to mark TODO 3 as completed and create a new TODO 4 focusing on updating the batch file to stop copying and include the zipped script.

  • Refactor UpdateSequences.ps1 to remove _CURRENT mirroring and perform only in-place renaming based on containing folders.
  • [-] Update UpgradeToGitProj.bat to stop copying NewDaily.bat into Renders and include the new zip helper batches instead.

Thought Process Summarizing code and directory updates

I'll gather key points for the final summary mentioning the new NewProject/Renders directory with helper scripts, the major overhaul in UpdateSequences.ps1 renaming logic, and changes in UpgradeToGitProj removing NewDaily and adding zipped files. I'll also note the presence of a new automatically generated spec log file without editing it, and clarify testing hasnt been run but manual verification is needed. To support this, Ill include code snippets with approximate line references from NewProject.bat and UpdateSequences.ps1 for clarity.


  • NewProject/Renders now carries ZipSeqArchv.bat and UnzipSeqArchv.bat, and NewProject.bat drops the old NewDaily copy while pulling in these templates so every fresh project seeds the render helpers automatically.

I don't want the zip batches moved HERE in NewProject\Renders. They were fine where they were. I just want them copied when NewProject is ran.@ZipSeqArchv.bat @UnzipSeqArchv.bat

Thought Process Analyzing script copy issues and troubleshooting

Im 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. Theres 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. Ill prepare a response summarizing these checks and clarifying the copy behavior despite the git error.


I just ran the current NewProject.bat (same copy you have) and it dropped all three helpers into the new projects Renders folder:

251106_NewProject\Renders\
  ZipSeqArchv.bat
  UnzipSeqArchv.bat
  UpdateSequences.bat

Because the copies happen before the Git commands, the later “dubious ownership” warning doesnt block them. If youre still not seeing the files, doublecheck that youre launching the updated A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\NewProject.bat (not an old copy elsewhere) and that ZipSeqArchv.bat / UnzipSeqArchv.bat live alongside it. Running the script again should populate the helpers; if needed you can copy them manually from the repo root into the projects Renders folder.


User (2025-11-06 17:01Z)

If you run it here, maybe. But it's designed to be ran elsewhere, such as "A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\NewProject.bat" or P:.

  :: Use repo-provided templates for git config files

Thought Process Verifying path handling and fallback logic


NewProject.bat now falls back to the canonical template directory if it cant find the helper batches beside the script:

set "templateRoot=%~dp0"
if not exist "%templateRoot%ZipSeqArchv.bat" set "templateRoot=A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\"
if exist "%templateRoot%UpdateSequences.bat" copy /Y "%templateRoot%UpdateSequences.bat" "%projectRoot%\Renders\UpdateSequences.bat" >nul
if exist "%templateRoot%ZipSeqArchv.bat" copy /Y "%templateRoot%ZipSeqArchv.bat" "%projectRoot%\Renders\ZipSeqArchv.bat" >nul
if exist "%templateRoot%UnzipSeqArchv.bat" copy /Y "%templateRoot%UnzipSeqArchv.bat" "%projectRoot%\Renders\UnzipSeqArchv.bat" >nul

So whether you launch the script from its original folder, A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\NewProject.bat, or somewhere on P:\, it should still copy the three helper batches into the new projects Renders directory.
