Daemon, appdata

Got it. You're absolutely right—projects/eds_to_rjn shouldn’t try to be self-contained if it relies on src/pipeline as its core library. The better approach is to treat src/pipeline as the engine and let each projects/<project>/ folder supply a scriptable, minimal entry point that gets called by the daemon.

Here's a slow, clear roadmap to reach your goal:

✅ Immediate Goals

  1. Refactor ProjectManager to:

    • Check %APPDATA%\memphis_pipeline\projects\<project>\ first.

    • Fallback to projects/<project>/ in the repo.

    • Auto-create config/cache folders in %APPDATA% if needed.

  2. Update Daemon Logic:

    • Load default project from default-project.toml.

    • Dynamically import and run a callable like run_main() or run_daemon() from projects/<project>/main.py.

  3. Define a project entry point in projects/eds_to_rjn/main.py:

    def run_daemon():
    from src.pipeline.corelogic import do_all_the_things  # Example
    do_all_the_things()

  4. Daemon startup script (__main__.py or controller.py):

    • Reads default project.

    • Imports that project’s main.

    • Calls run_daemon().

Would you like help rewriting the ProjectManager first so it can search %APPDATA% and gracefully fall back or scaffold paths?
