+## Output
+
+Action commands, meaning `generate` and `run`, emit JSON summaries to stdout by
+default. Pre-run errors, such as invalid flags, missing required arguments, or
+configuration load failures, return an error without emitting partial JSON.
+`--quiet` suppresses successful action-command stdout and routine stderr. It
+does not hide returned errors. Inspection commands are data-output commands;
+they always write the requested JSON to stdout and are not quietable.

+Single-report commands validate the report command, collect once through
+`internal/collect`, resolve the requested report, and pass the resolved report
+plus explicit collection into `GenerateReport`. `GenerateDetailed` returns the
+resulting `ReportResult`; `Generate` wraps the same workflow for error-only
+callers.
 
-1. Resolve the command report to a `report.Resolved` value.
-2. Create or use a filesystem store.
-3. Locate any prior compatible snapshot through `internal/state`.
-4. Fetch a Weather API bundle.
-5. Build collected and derived facts once.
-6. Execute configured modules and save the module snapshot.
-7. Compute Recent Changes from structured prior and current module snapshots.
-8. Build and save the YAML Scriptorium `data_package`.
-9. Run Scriptorium render preflight.

+# CLI Internals
+
+This document describes command output ownership in `internal/cli`.
+
+## Purpose
+
+`internal/cli` owns command parsing, app request construction, help text, and
+presentation of command results. It converts app-layer results into stable CLI
+summaries and writes stdout/stderr through shared output helpers.
+
+## Command Categories
+
+- Action commands: `generate` and `run`. These perform work, write artifacts,
+  and return compact summaries.
+- Inspection commands: `inspect reports`, `inspect metadata`, `inspect
+  modules`, `inspect data-package`, `inspect prior`, and `inspect sources`.
+  These read existing artifacts and return requested data.
+
+Future commands must declare which category they belong to before adding output
+behavior.
+
+## Stdout And Stderr
+
+Action commands write JSON summaries to stdout by default. `run` also writes
+compact status lines to stderr through `writeBatchStatus`. `generate` does not
+write routine stderr today. Pre-run errors return without partial JSON.
+
+Inspection commands write requested JSON data to stdout with `writeJSON`. They
+do not use action output helpers and do not support quiet mode.
+
+Returned errors are not hidden by output helpers. The caller remains
+responsible for displaying command errors.
+
+## Quiet Mode
+
+`--quiet` is supported only by action commands. It suppresses successful stdout
+and routine stderr by passing `outputOptions{Quiet: true}` to
+`writeActionResult`. It does not suppress returned errors.
+
+Quiet mode is intentionally not accepted by inspection commands because
+inspection stdout is the command result.
+
+## Summary Ownership
+
+CLI-safe summary structs live in `internal/cli/result.go`.
+
+- `newGenerateSummary` converts `*app.ReportResult` plus an optional error into
+  the generate JSON contract.
+- `newBatchSummary` converts `*app.BatchResult` into the run JSON contract and
+  derives the top-level run status.
+
+Summary types must not expose full app internals, module contents, data package
+contents, raw generated text, Scriptorium result bodies, or full distributor
+payloads.
+
+## Helper Path
+
+New action commands should:
+
+1. parse command-specific flags into CLI option structs;
+2. call the app-layer use case;
+3. convert app results into a CLI summary type;
+4. write through `writeActionResult`;
+5. use a status writer only for routine stderr status lines.
+
+New inspection commands should call the app inspection use case and write the
+returned data through `writeJSON`.

+# Collection Internals
+
+This document describes the app-facing upstream collection boundary in
+`internal/collect`.
+
+## Purpose
+
+`internal/collect` is the canonical package used by app workflows to collect
+upstream Weather API data. It constructs the Weather API adapter, fetches a
+normalized bundle, and returns that bundle without applying report selection or
+batch policy.
+
+## Contract
+
+Inputs:
+
+- `collect.Request`, containing the effective `config.Config`
+- `context.Context` for cancellation
+
+Output:
+
+- `collect.Result`, containing `*weatherdata.Bundle`
+
+`Run` returns an actionable error when Weather API adapter construction or
+bundle fetch fails. The package does not derive `facts.CollectedFacts`, build
+modules, resolve report periods, select reports, write state, invoke
+Scriptorium, or notify distributor.
+
+## App Usage
+
+`internal/app` owns a narrow `Collector` interface for orchestration tests. The
+default implementation calls `collect.Run`.
+
+Single-report generation collects once, resolves the requested report, and
+passes the explicit collection into report generation. Batch generation
+collects once before planning and passes the same collection into each planned
+report. If collection returns no bundle, app orchestration returns an error
+before report generation.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Weather API HTTP details stay in `internal/adapters/weatherapi`. The collection
+package returns normalized `weatherdata` only. It must not know about report
+IDs, prompt IDs, batch names, Daily eligibility, module composition, Recent
+Changes, state paths, or Scriptorium arguments.
+
+## Tests
+
+Inspect:
+
+- `internal/collect/collect_test.go`
+- `internal/app/app_test.go`

+## Invariants

+- Report and batch policy belongs outside `internal/collect`.

-# Code Quality And Deduplication Audit
-
-## Executive summary
-
-Overall code quality is strong. The repository is modular, the important
-external boundaries are mostly contained behind adapters, state paths are
-centralized, durable writes use shared file helpers, and report/module identity
-policy is mostly registry-driven.
-
-The top three cleanup targets before the next major release are:
-
-1. Day-style generated-text report duplication across Daily, Today, and
-   Tomorrow.
-2. Duplicated report-module config normalization and validation logic.
-3. Repeated Scriptorium run and structured-run result plumbing.
-
-The codebase appears ready for a limited cleanup pass. I do not see a major
-architectural risk that would require a broad rewrite. The most useful cleanup
-work is narrow, behavior-preserving, and should keep public CLI syntax and
-managed artifact paths stable.

-  limited`.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- These reports are intentionally independent at the public/report-definition
-  layer, but their current internal GeneratedText and daypart template surfaces
-  are close enough that wording, validation, and render-context changes are
-  likely to require edits in multiple places.
-- Small drift in deterministic report wording is easy to introduce accidentally
-  because the duplicated template logic is dense and hard to compare.
-- New day-style reports would likely copy this pattern again.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Keep separate exported report-specific types and template files, because the
-  reports are intended to diverge.
-- Introduce a small shared day-style GeneratedText validation helper that takes
-  the report name and typed value, or introduce an unexported common
-  `dayGeneratedText` shape embedded by report-specific types if that keeps
-  JSON and schema behavior clear.
-- Add a shared `dayReportCommonModules` or equivalent helper that loads common
-  module stanzas once and lets Daily/Today/Tomorrow add only report-specific
-  planning fields and daypart wrapper types.
-- Consider named template partials or a small deterministic presentation struct
-  for shared daypart/precipitation line rendering. Do not collapse the separate
-  report template files; make the shared pieces explicit and opt-in.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Keep existing `internal/generatedtext` validation tests for each public type.
-- Add a table test that Daily, Today, and Tomorrow validators share the same
-  required-field behavior and unknown-field rejection.
-- Add render-context tests proving common module fields are populated for all
-  three day-style reports and each report still exposes its own planning module.
-- Add template tests that pin the intended daypart behavior for all three
-  reports after shared rendering cleanup.
-
-Risk level: medium. The behavior is user-facing Markdown and prompt-schema
-related, but the cleanup can be done in small steps with existing tests.
-
-### 2. Centralize report-module config normalization and validation
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/config/reports.go`
-- `internal/config/config_test.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- `normalizeReportModules` and `validateReportModules` both traverse
-  `cfg.Reports`, resolve config keys with `report.IDForConfigKey`, track
-  duplicate report aliases, initialize the default report and module
-  registries, normalize module options, and call
-  `ModuleRegistry.ValidateComposition`.
-- `Config.ReportModuleOverrides` performs another report-key and duplicate
-  alias traversal before returning normalized module items.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- Report-module configuration is user-visible policy. Drift between load-time
-  normalization, validation, and app-time override extraction could cause a
-  config to pass one path and fail another, or produce different error wording.
-- Adding a new report key, module option type, or validation rule currently
-  requires touching and reasoning about multiple similar loops.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Introduce one unexported helper that resolves report config entries into a
-  canonical structure, for example `normalizedReportOverrides(cfg,
-  normalizeOptions bool)`.
-- Have `Load` call the helper in mutating mode and have `Validate` or
-  `ReportModuleOverrides` reuse the same canonical traversal. Preserve current
-  error prefixes such as `reports.<key>.deterministic_modules[...]`.
-- Keep config loading and validation in `internal/config`; do not move user
-  config parsing into `internal/app`.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Existing config tests for unknown report keys, duplicate report aliases,
-  unknown modules, incompatible modules, duplicate modules, and invalid module
-  options should continue passing.
-- Add one regression test that a manually constructed `config.Config` with raw
-  module options fails or normalizes consistently through the same helper path.
-- Add table coverage that duplicate aliases produce identical error context from
-  `Load` and `ReportModuleOverrides`.
-
-Risk level: low to medium. This is internal config plumbing, but it protects a
-public configuration surface.
-
-### 3. Deduplicate Scriptorium run and structured-run execution plumbing
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/adapters/scriptorium/runner.go`
-- `internal/adapters/scriptorium/runner_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- `RunResult` and `StructuredRunResult` have the same fields.
-- `Runner.Run` and `Runner.StructuredRun` validate the same request fields,
-  call `execute`, build the same result shape, attach `OutputPath`, and check a
-  nonzero exit code. The only meaningful differences are request/result types
-  and error wording.
-- `structuredRunArgs` delegates to `runArgs`, so the argv behavior is already
-  shared.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- `scriptorium run` is a critical external integration. Any future change to
-  stdout/stderr truncation, exit-code handling, or output-path recording should
-  not require repeated edits.
-- The duplication is small now, but it is exactly the kind of adapter behavior
-  that can drift invisibly.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Keep the public `RunResult` and `StructuredRunResult` types if callers benefit
-  from distinct names.
-- Add an unexported `executeRunLike` helper that validates prompt ID, data
-  package path, and output path, executes args, and returns a shared internal
-  result struct.
-- Convert the shared result into `RunResult` or `StructuredRunResult` at the
-  public method boundary so JSON artifact shapes remain unchanged.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Existing Scriptorium runner tests should remain behavior-preserving.
-- Add or keep table coverage that `Run` and `StructuredRun` produce the same
-  argv, output-path field, truncation fields, and nonzero exit behavior.
-
-Risk level: low. Adapter boundary is already narrow and well tested.
-
-## Medium-confidence opportunities
-
-### 1. Reduce repeated state save boilerplate without hiding artifact semantics
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/state/filesystem.go`
-- `internal/state/filesystem_test.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- Most save methods call `Paths`, select one path, write JSON or bytes
-  atomically, and return the selected path.
-- Examples include `SaveModuleSnapshot`, `SavePreflight`,
-  `SaveDistributorNotification`, `SaveGeneratedTextRaw`,
-  `SaveGeneratedTextResult`, `SaveGeneratedText`, and `SaveRenderContext`.
-
-Semantic differences that may be intentional:
-
-- Some methods validate payloads before writing.
-- `SaveDataPackage` delegates to `promptinput.Save`.
-- `SaveMetadata` intentionally writes to the explicit metadata path stored on
-  `state.Metadata`.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- Adding a new artifact type requires repeating the same path/write pattern.
-- Error context could drift if some methods wrap paths and others do not.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Consider small private helpers such as `saveJSONArtifact(resolved, pathFn,
-  value)` and `saveBytesArtifact(resolved, pathFn, data)` only if a new artifact
-  type is added or the save methods change again.
-- Do not create a generic manifest or artifact framework in this cleanup pass.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Keep path tests and artifact save/load tests.
-- If helpers are introduced, add one focused test that a representative JSON
-  artifact and byte artifact still write to the same managed paths.
-
-Risk level: low.
-
-### 2. Extract package-local CLI integration test fixture helpers
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/cli/root_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- CLI integration tests carry large fake Scriptorium shell scripts with repeated
-  prompt-specific JSON cases for today, tomorrow, daily, and hourly.
-- Config string construction and test Weather API setup are repeated across
-  groups of tests.
-
-Semantic differences that may be intentional:
-
-- Some fake scripts exercise markdown-output mode, some structured-output mode,
-  and some failure behavior.
-- These tests are integration-style and intentionally explicit.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- As report types and prompt schemas grow, the shell fixture blocks become a
-  brittle place to update prompt IDs, generated text schema shape, and expected
-  report behavior.
-- The large test file makes failures harder to localize.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Add package-local helper builders for fake Scriptorium behavior, for example a
-  map from prompt ID to JSON response plus a failure map for specific prompts.
-- Keep helpers local to `internal/cli` and `internal/app`; do not introduce a
-  cross-package test framework.
-- Keep a few explicit end-to-end tests that prove real command wiring still
-  works.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- No new behavior tests are required before helper extraction.
-- After extraction, run `go test ./internal/cli ./internal/app` and compare key
-  assertions around generated-text artifacts, CLI output, and batch summaries.
-
-Risk level: low.
-
-### 3. Clarify config-to-briefing registry boundary
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/config/reports.go`
-- `internal/briefing/modules.go`
-- `internal/module/module.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- Not primarily duplication. This is a boundary concern: `internal/config`
-  imports `internal/briefing` to initialize the default module registry and
-  validate report module composition.
-
-Semantic differences that may be intentional:
-
-- The briefing registry is currently the implemented source of module builders,
-  supported reports, options, missing-data behavior, and prompt exporters.
-- Config validation needs option schemas and composition rules, so using the
-  registry is pragmatic.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- `internal/config` now depends on the module-builder package, not only on
-  stable module option metadata. That is workable today, but it makes the
-  config package pull in more of the report-building layer than it strictly
-  needs.
-- If modules become more numerous or more expensive to initialize, config
-  validation may become harder to keep side-effect free.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Do not split this immediately.
-- If module catalog complexity grows, consider separating build-free module
-  definition metadata from module builders. The metadata/catalog can validate
-  config options and composition; `internal/briefing` can attach builders and
-  prompt exporters.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Keep config tests that prove report/module overrides fail during config load.
-- If a build-free catalog is introduced later, add tests proving config
-  validation and runtime module build registry accept the same module IDs,
-  options, supported reports, and missing-data policies.
-
-Risk level: medium if deferred too long, low today.
-
-### 4. Keep Weather API source fan-out explicit, but watch source metadata drift
-
-Affected files/packages:
-
-- `internal/adapters/weatherapi/client.go`
-- `internal/weatherdata/bundle.go`
-
-Duplicated or near-duplicated behavior:
-
-- Each source fetch follows the same rough pattern: declare target, call
-  `fetchDecodedSource`, attach source timestamps, assign bundle field, and add
-  source provenance.
-
-Semantic differences that may be intentional:
-
-- Alerts intentionally special-case `data:null`.
-- Hourly is required and validates non-empty periods.
-- Weather story omits units.
-- SPC outlooks use endpoint constants and different issued/updated rules.
-
-Why it matters:
-
-- The current code is readable and not over-abstracted. The risk is future
-  source additions repeating timestamp/hash/missing-policy decisions by hand.
-
-Recommended refactor:
-
-- Do not introduce a generic source ingestion framework now.
-- When the next source is added, consider adding small source-spec helpers for
-  only the shared provenance fields that have identical semantics.
-
-Suggested tests:
-
-- Maintain focused adapter tests for each source's endpoint, query parameters,
-  missing-source policy, and source metadata.
-
-Risk level: low.
-
-## Boundary and responsibility concerns
-
-- `internal/config` depending on `internal/briefing` for module registry
-  validation is the clearest boundary ambiguity. It is currently pragmatic, but
-  a future build-free module catalog would fit the architecture better if
-  module option/config complexity grows.
-- `internal/app` owns distributor notification request construction, including
-  template values derived from report metadata. That is acceptable because
-  orchestration owns the report result and managed report path, while
-  distributor package types remain inside `internal/adapters/distributor`.
-- `internal/generatedtext` currently owns render-context assembly from module
-  snapshots. That is a reasonable home, but the day-style report duplication
-  should be reduced inside that package rather than moved into templates,
-  `internal/app`, or `internal/reporttemplate`.
-- `internal/reporttemplate` correctly owns embedded template/schema lookup and
-  rendering only. It should not absorb generated-text validation or report
-  module policy.
-
-## Path, key, and naming construction review
-
-Local workspace paths are centralized in `internal/state.FilesystemStore.Paths`.
-This is a strong point: module snapshots, metadata, data packages, preflight
-artifacts, notification artifacts, generated-text artifacts, render contexts,
-and managed reports all derive from a single path function.
-
-Distributor bundle path rendering is centralized in `internal/config` through
-`RenderDistributorReportPaths` and related template renderers. `internal/app`
-only assembles template values and maps the managed report path to rendered
-bundle paths. This is appropriate.
-
-Report identity, artifact groups, batch output names, prompt IDs, template IDs,
-and schema IDs are declared in `internal/report` definitions. Current report
-definition files are now one report per file for active report types, which is
-easy to navigate.
-
-Areas needing cleanup:
-
-- The repeated state save methods can be lightly helperized later, but path
-  construction itself is centralized enough.
-- Day-style template paths/schema IDs are declared in both `internal/report`
-  definitions and `internal/generatedtext`/`internal/reporttemplate` catalogs.
-  This is acceptable because those packages own different parts of the
-  contract, but tests should continue asserting catalog compatibility.
-
-## Resolution and catalog review
-
-Report resolution is consistent:
-
-- CLI command names resolve through `internal/report.IDForCommandName`.
-- Config report keys resolve through `internal/report.IDForConfigKey`.
-- Batches resolve through `internal/report.BatchReports`.
-- Report definitions own valid-period resolvers and module composition.
-
-Module resolution is consistent:
-
-- Report definitions and config overrides use `module.ConfigItem`.
-- Config module options are normalized and composition is validated before app
-  use.
-- Runtime module execution uses `internal/briefing.ModuleRegistry`.
-- Prompt-input category mapping is centralized in `internal/promptinput`.
-
-Generated-text resolution is mostly consistent:
-
-- `internal/report` declares generation mode, template ID, and generated-text
-  schema ID.
-- `internal/generatedtext.LookupDefinition` checks schema/template support and
-  pairing.
-- `internal/reporttemplate` owns embedded asset lookup.
-
-Recommended centralization:
-
-- Consolidate day-style generated-text validation and common render-context
-  extraction inside `internal/generatedtext`.
-- Keep separate report-specific public IDs, schemas, prompt assets, and
-  template files.
-
-## Config and command-loading review
-
-Configuration loading is centralized in `internal/config.Load` with the
-documented precedence: CLI overrides, config file, built-in defaults.
-Environment secrets load through `secrets.directory` after config file parsing
-and CLI overrides, before validation completes. CLI commands consistently call
-`config.Load` rather than independently applying defaults.
-
-Intentional differences:
-
-- `generate` accepts `--out`; `run` accepts `--out-dir`; inspect commands do
-  not accept weather overrides.
-- `generate daily` requires `--date`; `generate today` accepts optional
-  `--date`; storm requires `--start`/`--end`.
-- Distributor has no CLI flags and is config-only.
-
-Likely accidental or cleanup-worthy differences:
-
-- Report-module config traversal is duplicated across normalization,
-  validation, and override extraction. This is the main config cleanup target.
-
-## State, manifest, or progress handling review
-
-The application has durable workspace state but no manifest/resume engine.
-That is appropriate for the current scope.
-
-State handling is consistent in the implemented flow:
-
-- managed paths are computed by `state.FilesystemStore.Paths`;
-- module snapshots, data packages, preflight output, generated-text artifacts,
-  render context, metadata, and notification debug artifacts are persisted
-  under managed paths;
-- metadata links the relevant artifact paths;
-- prior snapshot lookup uses stored metadata and report compatibility policy;
-- inspection reads metadata and linked artifacts rather than refetching data.
-
-Potential drift to watch:
-
-- Metadata is saved several times during generated-text-template reports as
-  artifacts become available. This is operationally useful for diagnosis, but
-  future artifact additions should preserve the same pattern deliberately.
-- There is no retry/resume manifest. Do not add one unless operational
-  requirements become concrete.
-
-## Refactors to avoid
-
-- Do not introduce a generic workflow engine for generation. The current
-  explicit app orchestration is readable and well covered.
-- Do not migrate to Cobra or redesign the CLI. The standard-library CLI remains
-  adequate.
-- Do not introduce a plugin architecture for reports, modules, or adapters.
-- Do not create per-module or per-report Go packages. Recent file-level
-  separation is sufficient.
-- Do not build a broad Weather API source ingestion framework yet. Keep source
-  fetches explicit until repeated source semantics become materially expensive.
-- Do not replace module snapshots with a manifest system in this cleanup pass.
-- Do not create a global test helper package. Use package-local helpers where
-  test setup is noisy.
-- Do not consolidate Daily, Today, and Tomorrow into one public report type.
-  Their public identities and templates are intentionally independent.
-
-## Recommended implementation sequence
-
-1. **GeneratedText day-report helper cleanup**
-   - Goal: reduce Daily/Today/Tomorrow validation and render-context
-     duplication while preserving separate public report types and template
-     files.
-   - Files: `internal/generatedtext/*.go`, generatedtext tests.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/generatedtext`.
-
-2. **Day-style template duplication cleanup**
-   - Goal: reduce repeated Daypart Forecast and Precipitation Timing template
-     logic without eliminating per-report templates.
-   - Files: `internal/reporttemplate/templates/*.md.tmpl`,
-     `internal/reporttemplate/reporttemplate.go` if named partial parsing is
-     used, template tests, `docs/templates.md`.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/reporttemplate ./internal/generatedtext`.
-
-3. **Report-module config traversal cleanup**
-   - Goal: use one canonical traversal for report override normalization,
-     validation, and extraction.
-   - Files: `internal/config/reports.go`, config tests.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/config ./internal/app`.
-
-4. **Scriptorium run-result helper cleanup**
-   - Goal: share run/structured-run execution result construction while keeping
-     exported result structs stable.
-   - Files: `internal/adapters/scriptorium/runner.go`,
-     `internal/adapters/scriptorium/runner_test.go`.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/adapters/scriptorium`.
-
-5. **Package-local CLI/app test fixture cleanup**
-   - Goal: reduce repeated fake Scriptorium/config setup.
-   - Files: `internal/cli/root_test.go`, optionally `internal/app/app_test.go`.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/cli ./internal/app`.
-
-6. **Optional state save helper cleanup**
-   - Goal: reduce repeated `Paths` plus atomic write boilerplate only if the
-     prior steps touch state tests or a new artifact type is being added.
-   - Files: `internal/state/filesystem.go`, `internal/state/filesystem_test.go`.
-   - Validation: `go test ./internal/state ./internal/app`.
-
-7. **Final documentation and validation**
-   - Goal: update implemented docs for any changed internal contracts, then run
-     full validation.
-   - Files: relevant `docs/internal/*`, `docs/templates.md`,
-     `docs/policy/development.md` only if workflow changes.
-   - Validation: `go test ./...`, `go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help`,
-     `git diff --check`.
-
-## Test strategy
-
-Tests to add before or during cleanup:
-
-- `internal/generatedtext`: table tests proving Daily/Today/Tomorrow share the
-  same generated-text required-field and unknown-field behavior.
-- `internal/generatedtext`: tests proving common day-style module extraction
-  still returns report-specific planning modules.
-- `internal/reporttemplate`: tests for shared daypart and precipitation
-  rendering behavior after template cleanup.
-- `internal/config`: tests proving `Load`, `Validate`, and
-  `ReportModuleOverrides` share duplicate alias and invalid module behavior.
-- `internal/adapters/scriptorium`: tests proving `Run` and `StructuredRun`
-  preserve argv, output path, captured output, truncation flags, and nonzero
-  exit behavior.
-- `internal/cli` and `internal/app`: keep workflow tests for generated-text
-  artifacts, data-package output, notification behavior, and batch summaries.
-
-Validation commands for cleanup work:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/generatedtext ./internal/reporttemplate
-go test ./internal/config ./internal/app
-go test ./internal/adapters/scriptorium
-go test ./internal/cli ./internal/state
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
-git diff --check
-```
-
-Lightweight audit validation performed for this report:
-
-```sh
-go list ./...
-```
-
-## Appendix: findings not worth acting on
-
-- **Weather API source fetch functions look similar but should remain explicit
-  for now.** Each source has different required/optional behavior, endpoint
-  query options, timestamp rules, and null-data semantics. A generic framework
-  would make the current adapter harder to read.
-- **Report definition files intentionally repeat field names.** Each report
-  definition should remain explicit about prompt ID, template ID, artifact
-  group, batch output name, compatibility, and modules.
-- **CLI flag parsing uses repeated `flag.FlagSet` setup.** The current parser is
-  small and clear. Additional abstraction would not reduce much risk beyond the
-  existing `addCommonFlags` helper.
-- **`internal/app.GenerateReport` is long but linear.** It is the main
-  orchestration function and currently reads in the same order as the workflow.
-  Splitting it aggressively would risk hiding stage ordering. Prefer extracting
-  only small repeated mechanics.
-- **Generated Markdown templates are necessarily editable assets.** Do not
-  replace template wording with Go string builders. Cleanup should preserve the
-  user's ability to edit report layout and prose structure in template files.

-# Cleanup Roadmap
-
-## Purpose
-
-This roadmap defines the staged cleanup work recommended by
-`docs/roadmap/audit.md`. It is written for an LLM coding agent that will
-implement each stage in order.
-
-The cleanup sequence is intentionally narrow. It should reduce duplication and
-clarify package responsibilities before the next major release without changing
-public CLI syntax, user configuration, report identities, managed artifact
-paths, or generated report behavior.
-
-This file may describe planned work because it lives under `docs/roadmap/`.
-
-## Cleanup Principles
-
-- Preserve public behavior unless a stage explicitly says otherwise.
-- Prefer small behavior-preserving refactors over broad rewrites.
-- Keep domain policy in the package that owns the relevant contract.
-- Keep external system details behind adapter boundaries.
-- Keep report, module, template, schema, path, and artifact identity explicit.
-- Add tests before or during cleanup where they protect public behavior or
-  important internal invariants.
-- Update implemented documentation only after code behavior exists.
-- Do not use cleanup as an opportunity to introduce new features.
-
-## Locked Decisions
-
-- Daily, Today, and Tomorrow remain separate report IDs, prompt IDs, schemas,
-  templates, and public generated-text types.
-- Cleanup may reduce shared internal day-style plumbing, but must not merge the
-  public report types.
-- Daily, Today, and Tomorrow keep separate top-level template files.
-- Named template partials may be introduced for repeated Daypart Forecast and
-  Precipitation Timing blocks.
-- Configuration ownership remains in `internal/config`; config parsing and
-  validation should not move into `internal/app` or `internal/briefing`.
-- Scriptorium and distributor dependency details must remain behind their
-  adapter packages.
-- Existing public CLI syntax, config fields, report IDs, prompt IDs, template
-  IDs, schema IDs, workspace paths, distributor paths, and generated report
-  paths remain stable.
-- Do not introduce Cobra, a workflow engine, a plugin system,
-  manifest/resume/progress infrastructure, per-module packages, per-report
-  packages, or a global test helper package.
-
-## Stage 1: Day-Style GeneratedText Validation Helpers
-
-### Goal
-
-Remove duplicated Daily/Today/Tomorrow generated-text validation while
-preserving public types and JSON schema behavior.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add an unexported shared helper in `internal/generatedtext` for the common
-  day-style shape: `summary`, `forecast_discussion`, optional
-  `precipitation_timing`, and optional `confidence`.
-- Keep exported `Daily`, `Today`, and `Tomorrow` structs.
-- Keep exported `ValidateDaily`, `ValidateToday`, and `ValidateTomorrow`
-  functions.
-- Preserve normalized JSON output shape and unknown-field rejection.
-- Preserve current error messages except for the expected report-name
-  substitution.
-- Do not change embedded generated-text schemas in this stage except as needed
-  to keep tests aligned with existing behavior.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Daily, Today, and Tomorrow validation use one shared internal validation path
-  for common trim, required-field, optional-field, and normalization behavior.
-- Public generated-text structs and function names remain unchanged.
-- Existing callers do not need to change.
-- Existing schema behavior remains unchanged.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Add table coverage proving Daily, Today, and Tomorrow share:
-  - required `summary` behavior;
-  - required non-empty `forecast_discussion` behavior;
-  - trim behavior;
-  - optional-field omission behavior;
-  - normalized JSON output behavior;
-  - unknown-field rejection.
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/generatedtext
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 2: Day-Style Render Context And Template Shared Blocks
-
-### Goal
-
-Reduce repeated Daily/Today/Tomorrow render-context and Markdown template logic
-without merging the reports.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add shared unexported helpers for common day-style report context fields such
-  as forecast date, forecast date label, generated timestamp label, valid
-  period, timezone, collected facts, and derived facts.
-- Add a common module snapshot extraction helper for shared day-style modules.
-- Keep report-specific planning modules separate:
-  - Daily uses `DailyPlanning`;
-  - Today uses `TodayPlanning`;
-  - Tomorrow uses `TomorrowPlanning`.
-- Keep report-specific daypart wrapper types if tests or templates benefit from
-  explicit names.
-- Add named template partial support in `internal/reporttemplate` for repeated
-  Daypart Forecast and Precipitation Timing blocks.
-- Keep `daily.md.tmpl`, `today.md.tmpl`, and `tomorrow.md.tmpl` as separate
-  top-level templates that opt into shared partials.
-- Preserve current rendered Markdown behavior, including Today's omission of
-  elapsed or missing daypart lines.
-- Do not replace editable Markdown templates with Go string builders.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Common day-style render-context setup is shared internally.
-- Daily, Today, and Tomorrow still expose their own render context types.
-- Shared template partials reduce repeated daypart and precipitation template
-  logic.
-- Report templates remain separately editable.
-- Current rendered output remains stable except for whitespace changes that are
-  covered by updated tests and intentionally accepted.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Update render-context tests to prove:
-  - common module fields are populated for Daily, Today, and Tomorrow;
-  - each report still exposes its correct planning module;
-  - Today still omits missing/elapsed dayparts where current behavior expects
-    omission.
-- Update reporttemplate tests to prove Daily, Today, and Tomorrow output remains
-  behaviorally stable.
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/generatedtext ./internal/reporttemplate
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Likely one implementation prompt. If template partial parsing changes and
-render-context helper extraction become difficult to review together, split
-this into:
-
-1. render-context helper cleanup;
-2. template partial cleanup.
-
-## Stage 3: Report Module Config Traversal Cleanup
-
-### Goal
-
-Make report-module config normalization, validation, and override extraction use
-one canonical traversal.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Refactor `internal/config/reports.go` around one unexported helper that:
-  - resolves report config keys through `internal/report`;
-  - detects duplicate aliases;
-  - validates report IDs against the report registry;
-  - normalizes module options when requested;
-  - builds `module.ConfigItem` values;
-  - validates module composition through the module registry.
-- Reuse that helper from:
-  - `normalizeReportModules`;
-  - `validateReportModules`;
-  - `ReportModuleOverrides`.
-- Preserve current configuration precedence and YAML shape.
-- Preserve current option normalization behavior.
-- Preserve error context such as
-  `reports.<key>.deterministic_modules[...]`.
-- Keep `internal/config` as the owner of config loading, normalization, and
-  validation.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Report-module config traversal exists in one implementation path.
-- Load-time normalization, validation, and override extraction cannot drift on
-  report-key or module composition policy.
-- Existing config files continue to load unchanged.
-- Existing config error messages remain materially equivalent and actionable.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Keep or update tests for:
-  - unknown report keys;
-  - duplicate report aliases;
-  - unknown modules;
-  - duplicate modules;
-  - incompatible modules;
-  - invalid module options;
-  - valid module overrides.
-- Add coverage proving loaded config and manually constructed config fail
-  consistently for the same invalid report/module cases.
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/config ./internal/app
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 4: Scriptorium Run Plumbing Cleanup
-
-### Goal
-
-Share `Run` and `StructuredRun` execution mechanics while keeping the
-Scriptorium adapter API stable.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add an unexported run-like helper in `internal/adapters/scriptorium` that:
-  - validates prompt ID;
-  - validates data package path;
-  - validates output path;
-  - executes the resolved argv;
-  - captures stdout and stderr;
-  - records truncation flags;
-  - records output path;
-  - handles nonzero exit results.
-- Keep exported `RunRequest`, `StructuredRunRequest`, `RunResult`, and
-  `StructuredRunResult`.
-- Keep `StructuredRun` using the same argv shape as `Run`; do not add schema or
-  format flags.
-- Preserve argv order.
-- Preserve stdout/stderr capture and truncation fields.
-- Preserve output-path fields.
-- Preserve existing nonzero-exit error wording as closely as possible.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- `Run` and `StructuredRun` share validation and result construction mechanics.
-- Public adapter request/result types remain stable.
-- Existing app-layer Scriptorium calls do not need behavior changes.
-- Existing Scriptorium tests still pass with minimal expected-output updates.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Add or update parity tests proving `Run` and `StructuredRun` preserve:
-  - argv construction;
-  - output path;
-  - captured stdout/stderr;
-  - truncation flags;
-  - nonzero exit result and error behavior.
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/adapters/scriptorium
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 5: CLI Test Fixture Cleanup
-
-### Goal
-
-Reduce noisy repeated CLI integration test setup without creating a
-cross-package test framework.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add package-local helpers in `internal/cli` tests for repeated:
-  - fake Scriptorium script setup;
-  - generated-text JSON responses;
-  - config file writing;
-  - Weather API test server setup;
-  - artifact path or glob assertions.
-- Keep a few explicit CLI workflow tests readable end-to-end.
-- Do not add `internal/testutil` or another global test helper package.
-- Do not weaken assertions while deduplicating setup.
-- Do not change production CLI behavior in this stage.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Test setup repetition is reduced in the largest CLI test file.
-- Test behavior and coverage remain equivalent.
-- Helpers are local to `internal/cli`.
-- No production code changes are required for this stage.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/cli
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 6: App Test Fixture Cleanup
-
-### Goal
-
-Reduce noisy repeated app orchestration test setup without creating a
-cross-package test framework.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add package-local helpers in `internal/app` tests where repetition is high and
-  the helper improves readability.
-- Good candidates include repeated fake renderer setup, generated-text JSON
-  responses, config file writing, Weather API test server setup, distributor
-  notifier setup, recording store setup, and artifact assertions.
-- Keep key workflow tests readable end-to-end so generation ordering remains
-  clear.
-- Do not add `internal/testutil` or another global test helper package.
-- Do not weaken assertions while deduplicating setup.
-- Do not change production app behavior in this stage.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Test setup repetition is reduced in the largest app test file.
-- Test behavior and coverage remain equivalent.
-- Helpers are local to `internal/app`.
-- No production code changes are required for this stage.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/app
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 7: State Artifact Save Helper Cleanup
-
-### Goal
-
-Reduce repeated filesystem artifact write boilerplate while keeping artifact
-semantics visible.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Add small private helpers in `internal/state/filesystem.go` for resolved JSON
-  and byte artifact writes.
-- Keep artifact-specific validation in public save methods before calling any
-  helper.
-- Keep each public save method explicit about which artifact path it writes.
-- Leave `SaveDataPackage` with its current special behavior unless a helper
-  cleanly preserves `promptinput.Save`.
-- Leave `SaveMetadata` with its current explicit metadata-path validation and
-  write behavior unless a helper cleanly preserves it.
-- Do not introduce a manifest, artifact registry, resume system, or broad
-  artifact framework.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Repeated `Paths` plus atomic write mechanics are reduced where the semantics
-  are identical.
-- Artifact-specific validation and path choice remain easy to see.
-- Managed artifact paths do not change.
-- Metadata JSON shape does not change.
-
-### Tests
-
-- Keep or update state save tests and metadata round-trip tests.
-- Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/state ./internal/app
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Stage 8: Documentation And Final Validation
-
-### Goal
-
-Align implemented documentation only where cleanup changes internal contracts or
-template editing guidance.
-
-### Implementation Guidance
-
-- Update `docs/templates.md` if named template partial support changes how
-  report templates should be edited.
-- Update relevant `docs/internal/*` files only for implemented internal
-  contract changes.
-- Update `docs/policy/development.md` only if contributor workflow guidance
-  changes.
-- Keep unimplemented or deferred cleanup ideas only under `docs/roadmap/`.
-- Do not document future refactors as implemented behavior.
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Non-roadmap docs describe only implemented behavior.
-- Template-editing guidance matches the final template partial structure, if
-  partials were added.
-- Internal docs remain accurate for generated text, templates, config, state,
-  and adapters touched by cleanup.
-
-### Validation
-
-Run:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/generatedtext ./internal/reporttemplate
-go test ./internal/config ./internal/app
-go test ./internal/adapters/scriptorium
-go test ./internal/cli ./internal/state
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
-git diff --check
-```
-
-### Prompt Size
-
-Small enough for one implementation prompt.
-
-## Deferred Refactors
-
-The following refactors are out of scope for this cleanup sequence:
-
-- Generic workflow engine.
-- Cobra migration or CLI redesign.
-- Plugin architecture.
-- Per-module or per-report packages.
-- Broad Weather API source-ingestion framework.
-- Manifest, resume, or progress system.
-- Global test helper package.
-- Consolidating Daily, Today, and Tomorrow into one public report type.
-- Replacing editable Markdown templates with Go string builders.
-- Build-free module catalog split.
-
-The build-free module catalog split may be revisited later if
-config/module-boundary complexity grows enough to justify separating module
-metadata from module builders.
-
-## Global Validation Checklist
-
-Run these checks after completing the full cleanup sequence:
-
-```sh
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
-git diff --check
-```
-
-Also run focused checks after the relevant stages:
-
-```sh
-go test ./internal/generatedtext
-go test ./internal/generatedtext ./internal/reporttemplate
-go test ./internal/config ./internal/app
-go test ./internal/adapters/scriptorium
-go test ./internal/cli
-go test ./internal/app
-go test ./internal/state ./internal/app
-```
-
-Manual review checklist:
-
-- Public CLI syntax is unchanged.
-- Public config fields and defaults are unchanged.
-- Report IDs, prompt IDs, template IDs, and schema IDs are unchanged.
-- Managed workspace artifact paths are unchanged.
-- Distributor bundle paths and notification behavior are unchanged.
-- Generated report Markdown behavior is unchanged except for intentional,
-  test-covered whitespace differences.
-- Scriptorium argv construction is unchanged.
-- Non-roadmap docs do not describe unimplemented cleanup work.

+## Batch Upload Skipped
+
+Symptom: a batch JSON summary contains

+
+Likely cause: at least one planned report failed, so weatherreporter did not
+call distributor for the batch.
+
+Diagnostic: inspect the failed report items in the batch JSON summary and the

+
+## Batch Upload Fails
+
+Symptom: every report item in a batch summary is succeeded, but the batch
+returns nonzero and the top-level notification has `status: "failed"`.
+
+Likely cause: the distributor upload was rejected, the distributor service was
+unavailable, status polling reached a terminal distributor failure, or
+weatherreporter rejected the batch file mapping before upload.
+
+Diagnostic: inspect `notification.error`, `notification.pipelineId`,
+`notification.bundleId`, `notification.idempotencyKey`, and
+`notification.path` in stdout. Then inspect the notification artifact; it
+records included report source paths, bundle paths, upload status, distributor
+run status, status lookup error, and raw status report JSON when available.
+
+Safe fix: fix the endpoint, token, distributor pipeline, batch identity
+templates, or report path templates indicated by the error, then rerun the
+batch. Individual report artifacts from the failed batch notification remain
+available and do not need to be regenerated for diagnosis.

+Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
+[Operations guide](operations.md).
+
+## Duplicate Batch Bundle Path
+
+Symptom: a batch returns nonzero with duplicate bundle path context before a
+distributor run ID is accepted.
+
+Likely cause: report-specific distributor path templates rendered the same
+bundle-relative path for two included reports in the same batch.
+
+Diagnostic: inspect the error in stdout or stderr. The validation error
+includes the duplicate bundle path plus the report IDs, RunIDs, and managed
+source paths involved.
+
+Safe fix: configure a per-report distributor path override so every report in a
+batch renders a unique path. Include values such as `{artifact_group}`,
+`{valid_start_date}`, `{batch_output_name}`, or `{run_id}` when needed.
+
+Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
+[Operations guide](operations.md).
+
+## Distributor Source Conflict
+
+Symptom: distributor accepts or rejects an upload with conflict context for a
+source, destination, digest, or idempotency key.
+
+Likely cause: the rendered bundle ID or idempotency key does not match the
+intended producer identity. A bundle ID identifies the logical source stream;
+an idempotency key identifies a retry of the same upload request.
+
+Diagnostic: inspect the report notification artifact linked from metadata or
+the batch notification artifact linked from the top-level notification path.
+Compare the rendered pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key, included source
+paths, and bundle paths with `notify.distributor.*` templates and distributor
