📂 Project: Dev
Session Goal
The session aimed to advance the Email Manager project by transitioning from a monolithic structure to a modular capability registry, enhancing the system’s flexibility and maintainability.
Key Activities
- Reflection on Project Progress: Discussed the transition to a modular architecture, emphasizing contract enforcement and deterministic filenames.
- Debugging Efforts: Addressed a smoke test failure in the EmailStorageManager by implementing a code patch to dynamically locate and validate date-stamped files.
- Makefile Management: Updated Makefiles for both the email manager and accounting suite, detailing smoke and run targets, and outlining capabilities and commands.
- Query Execution: Executed makefile queries for smoke tests related to fetching, parsing, and storing data.
- Command Line Interface (CLI) Queries: Analyzed queries for the accounting suite CLI, focusing on data ingestion and report generation.
- Data Pipeline Contracts: Defined contracts as stable interfaces in data pipelines, ensuring consistent enforcement and validation.
Achievements
- Successfully transitioned to a modular capability registry for the Email Manager.
- Resolved smoke test issues in the EmailStorageManager, ensuring accurate testing and error reporting.
- Updated and cleaned Makefiles for improved automation in both email and accounting projects.
Pending Tasks
- Further debugging and motivation dynamics need to be addressed in the Email Manager project.
- Complete the implementation of stable interfaces in data pipelines and validate all stages.
