Description

Session Goal

Bootstrap and validate a disposable office-auto-lab environment to safely integrate Office automation with repo-health tooling, while isolating migration risk from the production office repository.

Key Activities

  • Defined a staged lab-repo bootstrap procedure: copy Office and repo-health components into a disposable workspace, patch import paths, and run progressively deeper battle tests.
  • Created an import-audit checklist to smoke-test the migration surface, focusing on stale flat imports, sys.path hacks, plugin/compiler assumptions, credential touchpoints, shell-outs, and output-path dependencies.
  • Diagnosed residual packaging drift and specified concrete remediation for scripts, plugin loading, and the live-cycle entrypoint, with a Makefile-driven validation flow for local scans and compilation.
  • Advanced the execution plan for the lab checkpoint: run Office against the real Sheet in the lab copy, inspect generated artifacts, then validate the repo-health frontier independently before wiring the frontier signal back into Office support.
  • Identified and corrected a plugin path mismatch in repo-health dry runs, where discovery worked but execution failed because run_frontier.py still referenced the old plugins directory.
  • Reframed the remaining bottleneck as source-substrate quality in Google Sheets, proposing a read-only Sheet Doctor validation pass for Projects, Capabilities, PluginPolicy, and PluginPrereqs.
  • Narrowed the repo-health failure to two root causes: the Projects sheet loaded zero rows, and make_target_conflicts was uninitialized when no projects existed; also suggested tab-discovery and compatibility-layer fixes for Office front_registry alignment.

Achievements

  • Established a clear, low-risk lab workflow for repository migration and validation.
  • Converted a plugin discovery failure into a concrete path-fix issue with a follow-up smoke test.
  • Clarified that the current blocker is not only code integration but also substrate/data readiness in Sheets.
  • Isolated the empty-projects edge case and the missing guard clause as actionable defects in the repo-health pipeline.

Pending Tasks

  • Patch run_frontier.py to point at the correct plugin directory and rerun the live frontier path.
  • Execute the lab Office run against the real Sheet and review generated artifacts for regressions.
  • Build and run the read-only Sheet Doctor to validate substrate health before further automation.
  • Add an empty-input guard for make_target_conflicts and verify behavior when Projects is empty.
  • Reconcile Office front_registry / tab discovery with the expected Projects inventory.
