Fix broken file structure in scripts/orchestrate_content.py

[Copilot]

Summary

• What: Fix malformed Python module structure in scripts/orchestrate_content.py
• Why: File had nested function definitions inside exception handler, making core functions unreachable

Changes

The file structure was corrupted during merge conflict resolution (commit f97fe9b). Lines 76-183 incorrectly defined main(), process_module(), and orchestrate() inside the call_ollama exception handler's retry loop:

# Before (broken):
async def call_ollama(...):
    for attempt in range(1, MAX_RETRIES + 1):
        try:
            # ... actual logic ...
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == MAX_RETRIES:
                def main():  # ❌ Nested definition, never called
                    # ... 100+ lines of unreachable code ...

# After (fixed):
async def call_ollama(...):
    for attempt in range(1, MAX_RETRIES + 1):
        try:
            # ... actual logic ...
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == MAX_RETRIES:
                raise  # ✅ Proper exception handling
            await asyncio.sleep(backoff)
            backoff *= 2

async def process_module(...):  # ✅ Module-level function
    # ...

async def orchestrate(...):  # ✅ Module-level function
    # ...

def main():  # ✅ Module-level function
    # ...

Restored correct structure from commit 199617e with all functions properly defined at module level.

Migration steps

1. Identified broken structure via code review feedback
2. Located last known-good version (commit 199617e)
3. Restored file via git checkout 199617e -- scripts/orchestrate_content.py
4. Verified Python AST shows 4 top-level functions

Testing

• Automated: Python syntax validation passes, module imports without errors
• Structure: AST analysis confirms all functions at module level

Rollback plan

Revert commit a4b1325 if issues arise; file structure prior to f97fe9b was functional

Checklist

• File structure validated via AST parsing
• Python syntax check passes
• All functions callable at module level
• Code review completed

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a critical file structure issue in scripts/orchestrate_content.py where core functions were incorrectly nested inside an exception handler, making them unreachable. The file structure has been corrected by moving all functions to module level and properly implementing exception handling with retry logic.

Changes:

• Restored correct module structure with all functions at module level instead of nested inside exception handlers
• Enhanced HTTP error handling in call_ollama with status code validation before processing responses
• Improved timeout specification using aiohttp.ClientTimeout explicit constructor

The usage message should document that min_tokens and min_chars can be configured via environment variables ORCH_MIN_TOKENS and ORCH_MIN_CHARS, since the command-line parsing for these parameters was removed. This would help users understand how to customize these quality thresholds without needing to read the source code.

	print("Usage: python scripts/orchestrate_content.py path/to/modules.json [--stream] [--dry-run] [--concurrency N]")
	print(
	"Usage: python scripts/orchestrate_content.py path/to/modules.json [--stream] [--dry-run] [--concurrency N]\n"
	"Environment: set ORCH_MIN_TOKENS and ORCH_MIN_CHARS to adjust quality thresholds (min_tokens, min_chars)."

The error handling correctly raises ClientResponseError for non-200 responses and properly implements retry logic with exponential backoff. However, the error message construction uses string interpolation which could fail if error_text is very large or contains special characters. Consider truncating the error text or using a safer formatting approach to prevent potential issues when error responses are large.
