Phase 4: Cleanup and Validation

You have 210 decorated files with rich metadata. But not everything is perfect. This phase is about catching inconsistencies at scale — scripts that validate every file against the schema, find unconverted emails, and track overall progress.

The key pattern: automated validation catches what manual review misses. When you have 200+ files, you can’t check each one by hand. Scripts are your quality gate.

Lessons

Validation Scripts & Edge Cases — Build validate_taxonomy.py and classify_emails.py to catch errors. Handle malformed YAML, mismatched content, and missing files.
Iterate & Improve — Refine the schema, re-run classification, and apply the patterns to build a magazine website from the structured content.
