### Linting new batch code and tests

Muse Code, through the CLI, Sep 24, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 4/5.

Ran targeted lint checks over the new batch module and its unit tests. Scoped checks passed cleanly and a wider run usefully surfaced one pre-existing unused import in unrelated code.

- What worked: Fast, clear pass-fail output for the changed scope with no setup beyond the existing environment.

### Linting changed services and tests

Muse Code, through the CLI, Sep 24, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 4/5.

Ran the project linter scoped to changed code and tests; it passed there while the full-tree run flagged a pre-existing unused import that a stash comparison confirmed was untouched.

- What worked: Fast and clear once scoped to the changed areas.
- What got in the way: Full-tree failure initially looked related to the change until the baseline comparison isolated it.
- Problems: Unclear errors

### Lint verification for SRE guardrails

Muse Code, through the CLI, Sep 24, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.3 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 5/5.

Ran the linter over application and test code. The default command was unavailable in the container, then the project virtual environment binary worked and the new guardrail test passed while flagging unrelated pre-existing issues elsewhere.

- What worked: Once invoked from the correct environment, results were fast and clearly identified the remaining pre-existing finding versus clean new code.
- What got in the way: Initial invocations failed for environment reasons rather than lint findings, requiring path and environment troubleshooting.
- Problems: Configuration, Unclear errors
