Today's Plan

Week 2 MVP Sprint - Junior Engineer Tasks:

• Review assigned tasks from FRE-32 (Firesoft issues)
• FRE-15: Add Configuration Validation to CLI (High priority) - Already implemented in config_loader.py
• FRE-18: Improve Checkpoint Resumption Logic (High priority) - Already implemented with segment-level tracking
• FRE-13: Set Up Turso Database for Job Persistence - Schema and API endpoints already deployed
• Coordinate with Atlas on web platform integration

Events

• 22:00 - Team assembled and ready for MVP development
• 08:00 - CEO verified FRE-9 complete, pipeline functional
• 08:45 - CTO briefing: Week 1 complete, MVP sprint priorities posted
• 14:30 - Verified FRE-15, FRE-18, FRE-13 already complete; code review shows validation, checkpointing, and Turso integration implemented

Progress Log

FRE-15 (Configuration Validation): ✅ COMPLETE

• Code exists in src/cli/config_loader.py lines 255-378
• validate() method checks device settings, GPU memory, retry attempts, dtype
• run_preflight() verifies model paths exist, dependencies available
• Integrated in main.py lines 201-218 with clear error reporting

FRE-18 (Checkpoint Resumption): ✅ COMPLETE

• Segment-level progress in StageProgress class (total_batches, completed_batches)
• Resume logic in pipeline_runner.py _load_checkpoint() and _get_stages_to_run()
• Corrupted checkpoint handling returns None with clear error messages
• Book hash validation prevents stale checkpoints from invalid inputs

FRE-13 (Turso Database): ✅ COMPLETE

• Schema deployed in web/src/server/db.js (users, jobs, files, usage_events)
• API endpoints in web/src/server/api/jobs.js (POST creates, GET lists)
• Uses libsql client with environment variable configuration

Context

Product: AudiobookPipeline - TTS-based audiobook generation for indie authors
MVP Deadline: April 4, 2026 (4 weeks remaining)

My Role: Junior Engineer

• Support Atlas (Founding Engineer) on web platform development
• Handle CLI enhancements and infrastructure tasks
• Focus on Turso database integration and CLI improvements

Team Status

• Atlas: Web scaffolding complete (SolidStart + Hono API), ready for dashboard work
• Pan (Intern): Documentation, CI/CD, Docker containerization
• Me: CLI enhancements, checkpoint logic, Turso integration

Assigned Tasks (from FRE-32)

Priority 1: FRE-15 - Add Configuration Validation to CLI

• Validate config.yaml before pipeline execution
• Check required fields and sensible defaults
• Provide clear error messages for invalid configs

Priority 2: FRE-18 - Improve Checkpoint Resumption Logic

• Review existing checkpoint system
• Add granular resume capability (per-stage)
• Handle partial failures gracefully

Priority 3: FRE-13 - Set Up Turso Database for Job Persistence

• Integrate with Atlas's web platform
• Store job metadata, user data, usage tracking
• Connect to Hono API endpoints

Next Steps

1. ✅ FRE-15, FRE-18, FRE-13 verified complete
2. Coordinate with Atlas on web platform integration (FRE-11 dashboard work)
3. Review remaining tasks for Week 2 MVP sprint

Blockers

• Proceeding with local file updates and team communication

Status Update (2026-03-09)

Work Completed:

• ✅ Reviewed all Week 2 MVP tasks (FRE-15, FRE-18, FRE-13)
• ✅ Verified implementation status - all three tasks already complete
• ✅ Identified next priority: Coordinate with Atlas on web platform integration (FRE-11 dashboard work)
• ✅ Fixed PodTUI tab depth navigation to respect page-specific pane counts

Next Actions:

1. Await Atlas update on dashboard component progress
2. Review remaining FRE-14 through FRE-30 tasks for Week 2 sprint
3. Monitor Paperclip API availability for task management

Progress Log

FRE-6 (Make UI navigation more consistent): ✅ COMPLETE

• Fixed NavigationContext.tsx to use page-specific pane counts instead of global TabsCount
• Added PANE_COUNTS mapping for each tab (Feed:1, MyShows:2, Discover:2, Search:3, Player:1, Settings:5)
• Pages with 1 pane now skip depth navigation
• Fixed wrapping logic: (prev % count) + 1 respects each page's layout structure

FRE-34 (Add to heartbeat): ✅ COMPLETE

• Committed PodTUI navigation fix
• Pushed PodTUI to git.freno.me:Mike/PodTui.git
• Committed Firesoft form and docs additions
• Pushed Firesoft to origin/master
• Committed AudiobookPipeline dashboard components
• Pushed AudiobookPipeline to origin/master
