Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to standardize time-based execution parameters in the automation pipeline to enhance orchestration and reduce fragmentation.

Key Activities

  • Proposed the adoption of a consistent --trigger-time interface across scripts.
  • Reviewed the 03_headlines_digests.py script for timestamp consistency and error reporting.
  • Conducted an audit of the current system’s timestamp policies and identified core inconsistencies.
  • Implemented timestamp normalization in the create_digest_jsonl() function.
  • Fixed bugs related to filename generation logic and redundant timestamps.
  • Refactored the STAGES list to a function for dynamic timestamp handling.
  • Diagnosed and validated pipeline output.

Achievements

  • Established a unified approach for time-based execution in automation scripts.
  • Improved script compatibility and coordination across components.
  • Enhanced the accuracy of filename generation and digest processing.

Pending Tasks

  • Monitor the implemented changes for any unforeseen issues.
  • Continue improving the downstream filename parsing function.

Outcome

The session successfully standardized execution parameters and implemented key improvements in the automation pipeline.
