Legacy automation scripts cause workflow confusion and deprecated outputs

Issue

The system contained outdated scripts and documentation that were no longer relevant to the current workflow. This led to confusion among developers regarding which scripts to use, increased the risk of generating suboptimal outputs, and resulted in documentation that referenced non-existent features or workflows.

Culprit

The issue arose from a lack of systematic deprecation during the evolution of the automation system. Previous versions of the system were not removed or properly deprecated, leaving outdated components in the codebase. This included scripts for single-video generation, batch processing wrappers, and documentation that no longer aligned with the current workflow.

Solution

File Removal

All outdated components were removed from the system. This included deprecated scripts and documentation that were no longer relevant to the current workflow, ensuring that only the most up-to-date and functional components remained.

Consolidated Documentation

Documentation was consolidated into updated files that reflect the current architecture and workflow. This ensures that users and developers have accurate and relevant information for using the system effectively.

Future-Proofing

The system was designed to allow for easy recreation of batch processing workflows if needed, using simplified scripts. This ensures flexibility and adaptability while maintaining a clean and efficient codebase.

By removing outdated components and consolidating documentation, the system is now more maintainable, easier to understand, and aligned with its current capabilities.
