Description

Session Goal

Clarify and stabilize the election-data workflow by treating the Makefile as an operational orchestration layer, while migrating deterministic notebook logic into scripts and tightening validation around padron enrichment and human-facing outputs.

Key Activities

• Reframed the Makefile as a declarative architecture layer rather than a bag of shell shortcuts.
• Separated two concerns: a shell-level failure in the freshness target and a deeper semantic redesign needed for 04_flags.
• Proposed using .ONESHELL / heredoc-friendly patterns so Makefile targets can express multi-step validation and transformation cleanly.
• Defined padron_enriquecido as the authoritative source for enrollment status and adjusted 04_flags semantics to filter human outputs only to enrolled people.
• Recommended migrating the 04_flags notebook into scripts/04_build_human_neighbor_sheets.py, keeping the notebook only as a sandbox for experimentation.
• Outlined a modular script layer for shared helpers, data preparation, output reconstruction, and report generation.
• Added an audit-oriented plan to distinguish true unmatched records from normalization or parser issues by counting padron_hits and exporting comparison cases.

Achievements

• The Makefile interface was validated conceptually as the right orchestration boundary.
• The human-neighbors pipeline was confirmed to be script-shaped and ready for migration.
• The workflow now has a clearer authority model: padron_enriquecido is the source of truth, while nvoemp remains historical parsing context.
• The remaining issues were narrowed down to a small set of concrete fixes: freshness target repair, padron preparation printing bug, and coverage gaps in roster linking.

Pending Tasks

• Fix the broken freshness Makefile target.
• Repair the padron preparation reporting/printing bug.
• Implement or finish the migration of 04_flags into a script-based stage.
• Audit old_only records using padron_hits to separate normalization failures from genuine unmatched cases.
• Stabilize report semantics before migrating publication/rendering steps.
