Worked on the virattt/ai-hedge-fund repository with a focus on improving deployment reliability and container stability. Addressed a persistent issue with Python module path resolution inside Docker containers by configuring the PYTHONPATH environment variable directly within docker-compose.yml for all services. This adjustment ensured that Python modules could be reliably discovered at startup, reducing import errors and streamlining the deployment process. The work leveraged DevOps practices and involved hands-on use of Docker, Python, and YAML to enhance the overall development workflow. The targeted fix contributed to smoother container operations and minimized troubleshooting time during service initialization and updates.
