03/20 Progress: Whipping things into shape (and finally naming the bots)

The big move today was cranking ci_mode in policy.yaml all the way to enforce. Don't ask why it took this long—the answer is I was too scared to do it earlier. I mean, have you seen the state of this code lately?

Luckily, autofix is finally dialed in, so I felt brave enough to close the gates. From now on, if your logs or evidence aren't up to snuff, the CI is kicking you out—no negotiations.

Also, the bots are finally no longer hardcoded in Shuiling. I set up an agentCatalog to index general-manager, doc-auditor, pptaddin, and the rest. We've only got five or six bots right now—hardly the "distributed network" of my dreams—but at least adding new roles doesn't involve digging through code anymore. I'll take the win.

A few other bits and pieces:

• Added a ?test=1 backdoor to the PPT Addin specifically for automation scripts. It's a bit of a "quick and dirty" fix, but it works—beats wasting hours trying to simulate input box clicks.
• Added a fallback for DELL_OPS environment variables to maintain compatibility with BM_DELL_SERVER. Don't ask why we have two naming conventions; it's legacy baggage. A quick patch will do for now.

Sidenote: Still just patching things up today. We barely have a handful of agents, and here I am fantasizing about "exponential complexity." Maybe I'm just romanticizing the grind. Whatever—now that enforce is live, I might actually get a decent night's sleep. Let's call it a day.
