Developed foundational automation scaffolding for the COSC_352_FALL_2025 repository by introducing project3_execute.sh, an empty Bash script designed to support future execution and automation of Project 3. Focused on scripting, the work established a reusable pattern to streamline onboarding and ensure reproducible project runs. By preparing the repository for upcoming automation and continuous integration workflows, this effort reduced setup time for future contributors and laid the groundwork for scalable testing and workflow consistency. No bug fixes were addressed during this period, as the primary objective was to create a maintainable base for future Bash scripting and automation enhancements.
