[TRLC-DK1] Export script finishes without error but one episode folder is empty for builders labs (intermediate)
TRLC-DK1 discussion on export scripts succeeding while one episode folder is empty, silent partial failures, and checks to catch them before use.
A frustrating DK1 export problem appears when the script finishes cleanly and returns success, yet one episode folder is empty or nearly empty. The batch looks complete until someone notices a hole later.
How are you diagnosing DK1 cases where the export script finishes without error but one episode folder is empty?
Please share how you detect silent partial export failures, which file-level or manifest checks expose empty episodes fastest, and what policy you use to re-export, repair, or discard the affected run.
If you reply, include one exact empty-folder symptom and one exact audit check that exposed it.
The best replies explain whether the empty episode still had metadata, partial files, or no usable output at all.
If one folder-level audit or manifest comparison caught the issue quickly, share it. Searchers often need that last-mile check.
It also helps to say how you keep empty episodes from surviving into later training sets.
