📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

The primary goal of this session was to refactor configuration paths in the system and evaluate the overall system design for productization.

Proposed a refactor of storage and triage paths in the configuration, providing code examples and diagnosing potential confusions.
Implemented a function load_paths(cfg) to extract and normalize paths from a config.yaml file.
Identified and corrected a misconfiguration in the triager.gatekeeper.state_file path.
Conducted a final evaluation of the revised configuration structure, confirming coherence and well-formed nature of key elements.
Assessed the functionality and performance of an email triage CLI.
Strategically broke down the system design for productization, emphasizing actionable steps and the distinction between prototype and market-ready product.
Analyzed user archetypes for the email triage tool, identifying motivations and potential friction points.
Provided a crash course in modular CLI and UI architecture, focusing on config.yaml and triage_logs.jsonl.

Successfully refactored and evaluated configuration paths.
Developed a clear understanding of system design requirements for productization.
Improved user experience insights for the email triage tool.

Further improvements in email triage CLI functionality based on assessment insights.
Continue refining user experience features for the email triage tool.
