Worked on enhancing the reliability of the synthesis pipeline in the pulp-platform/croc repository by focusing on robust error handling within automated workflows. Addressed a critical issue in the run_synthesis.sh script using shell scripting, ensuring that the pipeline now fails immediately if any command encounters an error. This approach eliminated silent failures, making it easier to diagnose synthesis issues and improving the reproducibility of synthesis outputs. No new user-facing features were introduced during this period, as the primary contribution centered on stability and traceability. The work demonstrated attention to detail in automation and proficiency with shell scripting and pipeline management.
