🕒 00:15–01:50
🏷️ Labels: Python, Automation, Daemon, Scripting, Debugging
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the 03_headlines_digests.py
script and its associated automation processes.
Key Activities
- Enhanced the
03_headlines_digests.py
script to be digest-aware and idempotent, ensuring it processes only new files with optional force reprocessing. - Fixed digest ID logic for CSV matching using regex for precision.
- Resolved directory mismatch issues in CSV file processing.
- Improved the
create_digest_jsonl()
function for better markdown file matching. - Built a reliable execution daemon for pipelines, including idempotency checks and daemon loop logic.
- Developed a daemon orchestration structure and pipeline summary.
- Addressed import errors in Python scripts related to timezone handling.
- Implemented backfill mode for the daemon.
- Optimized loop logic for hourly processing.
- Fixed filename parsing issues and enhanced logging in the main function for digest generation.
Achievements
- The automation script was thoroughly evaluated and improved for better performance and reliability.
- Several bugs and inefficiencies were identified and resolved, contributing to a more robust processing pipeline.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing and validation of the enhanced daemon and digest processing logic.
- Continuous monitoring and refinement of the automation scripts to ensure long-term stability and efficiency.
