Research direction

Start with the repository README.md and scripts/3-report/zzz-notes.py, then read scripts/shared.py for examples of updating document sections. Add a marked Latest report section and update the script to point it to the current report when that report is latest. Done when the README link is updated by the script and points to the latest report.

Problem

Finding the latest report (quantifying/data/2026Q3/README.md for example) requires digging.

Description

  1. Add a Latest report section to the repository README.md
  2. Update scripts/3-report/zzz-notes.py so that it replaces the link in that section with the current report, if it is the latest
    • Use comments to clearly mark what part of the repository README.md is updated programmatically
