Now I understand the context better. Let me look at what the user is asking for. The user wants `CfgDeploy.bat`/`CfgDeploy.ps1` to update `NewProject.bat` to the appropriate path.

Looking at the history, I see:
1. In the specstory from 2026-02-23, there's mention of refactoring ConfigLoader to CfgDeploy
2. In 2026-02-02, there's discussion about NewProject deploying config

The key issue seems to be that `NewProject.bat` needs to be updated so that when `CfgDeploy.ps1` runs, it updates the path references in `NewProject.bat` to point to the correct location of `CfgDeploy.ps1`.

Let me search for more context about what specific path needs to be updated in NewProject.bat.</details></think>

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
Looking at the context, I see that `NewProject.bat` has a section where it locates `CfgDeploy.ps1`:

```batch
:: Locate CfgDeploy.ps1 in the ProjectStructure directory
set "CFG_DEPLOY=%STRUCT_DIR%\CfgDeploy.ps1"
```

The issue is that `NewProject.bat` needs to be updated to point to the correct path of `CfgDeploy.ps1`. When `CfgDeploy.ps1` runs on a project, it should update any `NewProject.bat` files it finds to reference the correct path to `CfgDeploy.ps1`.

Looking at `CfgDeploy.ps1`, I see it has a `$specs` array that lists files to update in projects. Currently it doesn't include `NewProject.bat` in that list.

Let me check if there's a `NewProject.bat` entry in the specs list and if it needs to be added or updated. Looking at the CfgDeploy.ps1 code, the $specs array includes files like UpdateSequences.bat, ZipSeqArchv.bat, etc. but I don't see NewProject.bat in there.

The user wants CfgDeploy to update NewProject.bat to point to the appropriate path. This means:
1. NewProject.bat should be added to the $specs list so it gets deployed/updated
2. When NewProject.bat is copied to a project, the path to CfgDeploy.ps1 inside it needs to be correct

Looking at NewProject.bat line 19:
```batch
set "CFG_DEPLOY=%STRUCT_DIR%\CfgDeploy.ps1"
```

This uses `%STRUCT_DIR%` which is resolved at runtime by searching for the `.config` directory. This should already be dynamic and correct.

Wait - let me re-read the request. The user says "make @CfgDeploy.bat/@CfgDeploy.ps1 update @NewProject.bat to the appropriate path." 

I think the issue is that `NewProject.bat` needs to be included in the list of files that `CfgDeploy.ps1` deploys/updates in projects. 

I notice `NewProject.bat` isn't currently in the `$specs` array in `CfgDeploy.ps1`. The specs list includes various batch files like `UpdateSequences.bat` and `ZipSeqArchv.bat`, plus `.gitattributes` and `.gitignore`, but `NewProject.bat` is missing. Adding it there would ensure it gets deployed to projects with the correct path configuration.

Looking more closely at the request, I need to understand what "appropriate path" means in this context. The user might be referring to updating the path reference inside `NewProject.bat` itself when it's deployed to a project, ensuring it points to the correct location of `CfgDeploy.ps1`.

The $specs array defines which files get copied during deployment, and each entry has a Name and Source property. For `NewProject.bat` to be properly deployed, it would need to be added to this array with the correct source path pointing to the structDir.

I'm noticing that `NewProject.bat` seems different from the other files in the specs list—it appears to be a project creation script rather than a project maintenance script. The other files like `UpdateSequences.bat` and `ZipSeqArchv.bat` are tools used within an existing project structure, whereas `NewProject.bat` creates new projects from outside the project directory. This distinction might explain why it wasn't originally included in the deployment specs.

The request is asking for `CfgDeploy` to handle `NewProject.bat` appropriately, which suggests it should either be added to the deployment specs with special handling, or there needs to be a mechanism to update the CfgDeploy.ps1 path reference within `NewProject.bat` itself when it gets copied to different locations. The specstory from the 2026-02-23 session about renaming ConfigLoader to CfgDeploy might contain the specific context for this requirement.

Looking at the current implementation, `NewProject.bat` already contains the logic to locate CfgDeploy.ps1 dynamically—it searches for .config directories and uses the structDir from config.json. The path resolution happens at runtime through the PowerShell discovery logic, so there's no hardcoded path that needs updating. However, the user's request suggests something specific needs to change in how CfgDeploy handles this file.

The key question is whether `NewProject.bat` should be added to the `$specs` array so it gets copied to projects like the other batch files, or if there's a different deployment mechanism needed. I should check if the file needs special handling compared to the standard deployment pattern used for other scripts like `UpdateSequences.bat` and `ZipSeqArchv.bat`. The user might want NewProject.bat deployed to projects so it can be used to create subprojects or new projects from within an existing project directory. Let me add NewProject.bat to the $specs array in CfgDeploy.ps1.</details></think>

---

Now I understand the context. The `CfgDeploy.ps1` script deploys batch files to project directories, but `NewProject.bat` is not currently in the list of files it updates. I need to add `NewProject.bat` to the `$specs` array so that when `CfgDeploy` runs on a project, it will update/deploy `NewProject.bat` to the appropriate location.

Let me update `CfgDeploy.ps1` to include `NewProject.bat` in the deployment specs.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
Good, I've added `NewProject.bat` to the `$specs` array in `CfgDeploy.ps1`. Now when `CfgDeploy` runs, it will deploy/update `NewProject.bat` in project directories.

Let me also check if `NewProject.bat` is referenced in the Renders deployment section, as it might make sense to deploy it there as well. Looking at the original `NewProject.bat` code (line 65-68), it copies certain files to the Renders directory:

```batch
for %%F in (UpdateSequences.bat ZipSeqArchv.bat UnzipSeqArchv.bat CompressPNGs.bat) do (
  if exist "%templateRoot%\%%F" copy /Y "%templateRoot%\%%F" "%projectRoot%\Renders\%%F" >nul
)
```

So `NewProject.bat` itself is not copied to Renders - it stays at the project root. And looking at the CfgDeploy.ps1 code, there's also a `$rendersBatches` array that deploys specific files to the Renders folder. Let me check if NewProject.bat should be added there as well...

Actually, looking at the logic:
- The `$specs` array deploys files to wherever they are found in the project (recursively)
- The `$rendersBatches` array specifically deploys files to the `\Renders` directory

Since `NewProject.bat` is meant to create new projects (not to be run from within a project's Renders folder), it should probably be deployed to the project root, not to Renders. The `$specs` array handles this - it finds existing `NewProject.bat` files in the project and updates them.

The change I made should be sufficient. Let me verify the change is correct.</details></think>

---

I've added `NewProject.bat` to the `$specs` array in `CfgDeploy.ps1`. This means when `CfgDeploy.ps1` runs on a project, it will now:

1. Find any existing `NewProject.bat` files in the project directory structure
2. Update them with the latest version from the ProjectStructure directory

This ensures that `NewProject.bat` is kept up to date across all projects when `CfgDeploy` is run. The path to `CfgDeploy.ps1` inside `NewProject.bat` (which uses `%STRUCT_DIR%\CfgDeploy.ps1`) will automatically resolve correctly since it's computed at runtime based on the discovered ProjectStructure location.

The change is minimal and follows the existing pattern used for other batch files like `UpdateSequences.bat`, `ZipSeqArchv.bat`, etc.

The user wants CfgDeploy to update NewProject.bat in a project to point to that project's directory, similar to how it handles config.json. Let me look at how config.json is handled - it gets the structDir path written to it.

Looking at CfgDeploy.ps1, I see there's an `Update-ConfigStructDir` function that updates the structDir in config.json. The user wants similar behavior for NewProject.bat - when CfgDeploy deploys NewProject.bat to a project, it should edit the NewProject.bat to point to that specific project's directory.

I see. The `Update-ConfigStructDir` function updates `config.json` to set the `structDir` to the current ProjectStructure directory. The user wants similar behavior for `NewProject.bat` - when it's deployed to a project, the `NewProject.bat` should be edited to point to that specific project's directory (like how `config.json` gets its `structDir` updated).

But wait - looking at `NewProject.bat`, it already dynamically finds the `STRUCT_DIR` by searching for `.config` directories. The user wants `CfgDeploy.ps1` to edit `NewProject.bat` when it deploys it to a project, similar to how it updates `config.json`.

I see. The `NewProject.bat` currently has complex PowerShell code to dynamically discover the `STRUCT_DIR` by looking for `.config/config.json` files. The user wants `CfgDeploy.ps1` to edit `NewProject.bat` when it deploys it, so that it hardcodes the correct `STRUCT_DIR` path similar to how `config.json` gets updated.

The key section is lines 4-13 where it searches for the `.config` directory. The user wants this to be replaced with a hardcoded path like:
```
set "STRUCT_DIR=C:\Path\To\ProjectStructure"
```

I need to:
1. Add a function similar to `Update-ConfigStructDir` that updates `NewProject.bat` with the hardcoded structDir path
2. Call this function during deployment (in the foreach loop where specs are processed)

Let me add this functionality to `CfgDeploy.ps1`. I'll add a new function `Update-NewProjectBat` that reads the NewProject.bat file, finds the dynamic discovery section, and replaces it with a hardcoded `set "STRUCT_DIR=..."` line.

The tricky part is that NewProject.bat has multi-line PowerShell code. I need to replace the entire discovery block (lines 4-13) with a simple hardcoded path.

Actually, looking more carefully, I should:
1. Add a new function to edit NewProject.bat
2. In the deployment loop, after copying NewProject.bat, call this function to update it

Let me add this to CfgDeploy.ps1.</details></think>

The changes look correct. Now `CfgDeploy.ps1` will:

1. When run directly (not dot-sourced), update its own `config.json` with the script's directory as `structDir`
2. When deploying batch files to a project:
   - For each `NewProject.bat` found in the project, it will copy the source file and then call `Update-NewProjectBat` to replace the dynamic discovery code with a hardcoded `set "STRUCT_DIR=..."` line

The regex pattern `:: Search for \.config directory.*?exit /b 1\)` uses non-greedy matching (`.*?`) to find the block from the comment through the exit statement, and replaces it with a simple hardcoded path line.

This should work correctly. Let me verify the regex pattern more carefully against the actual NewProject.bat content. The pattern starts at `:: Search for .config directory` and ends at `exit /b 1)`. Let me check if the closing parenthesis</details></think>

I see. Currently `NewProject.bat` has hardcoded logic to create dates in `YYMMDD` format (line 33: `set yymmdd=%yy:~-2%%mm%%dd%`), but the config.json has `"dailyFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD"`.

The user wants `NewProject.bat` to read the `DailyFormat` from the config.json it finds and use that to format the date prefix for new projects. So if the config says `YYYY-MM-DD`, it should create folders like `2025-03-09_ProjectName` instead of `250309_ProjectName`.

I need to modify the PowerShell command that discovers the ProjectStructure to also read the `dailyFormat` from config.json, and then use that to set the date format variables accordingly.</details></think>

I understand. You want `NewProject.bat` to read the `dailyFormat` from the config.json and use that format for the project date prefix. Currently it hardcodes `YYMMDD` format but the config specifies `YYYY-MM-DD`.

Let me update `NewProject.bat` to read and use the `dailyFormat` setting.

I've updated the NewProject.bat to:
1. Read the `dailyFormat` from config.json (defaulting to `YYMMDD` if not found)
2. Use `YYYY-MM-DD` format when the config specifies that (creating `2025-03-09_ProjectName` style folders)
3. Fall back to `YYMMDD` format otherwise (creating `250309_ProjectName` style folders)

The change replaces the hardcoded yymmdd logic with dynamic date formatting based on the config setting.</details></think>

I've updated `NewProject.bat` to:

1. Read the `dailyFormat` from `config.json` (defaults to `YYMMDD` if not set)
2. Format the date prefix based on the configured format:
   - `YYYY-MM-DD` → `2025-03-09_ProjectName`
   - `YYMMDD` (or anything else) → `250309_ProjectName`
3. Use a `datePrefix` variable instead of hardcoded `yymmdd`

Now when you run `NewProject.bat`, it will check the config's `dailyFormat` setting and create projects with the appropriate date format. Since your `config.json` has `"dailyFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD"`, new projects will be created as `2025-03-09_ProjectName`.
