Context file not found: {path}

Error message

Context file not found: {path}

What it means

FileNotFoundError raised by _read_context_files in the screening context pipeline: every path passed in the context-files list must exist as a regular file, otherwise the screening run aborts. Files are read as UTF-8 text and injected as LLM context, so a missing file is treated as a configuration error rather than being silently skipped.

Solutions

1. Check the path exists from the process's actual cwd (os.getcwd()) — resolve relative paths against an explicit base dir before passing them in.
2. Fix typos/renames, or re-create the missing file.
3. If globs are needed, expand them yourself (glob.glob(...)) and pass concrete file paths, filtering out non-files.
4. If missing context files should be tolerated, pre-filter with Path(p).is_file() before calling, and log a warning for skipped entries.

Example fix

# before
read_context_files(['notes/thesis.md'])  # FileNotFoundError if cwd differs

# after: resolve against a known base and filter
base = Path(__file__).parent
files = [p for p in [base / 'notes/thesis.md'] if p.is_file()]
text = _read_context_files(files)

from pathlib import Path
paths = [Path(p).resolve() for p in context_files]
missing = [p for p in paths if not p.is_file()]
if missing:
    raise FileNotFoundError(f'context files missing: {missing}')
text = _read_context_files(paths)

try:
    text = _read_context_files(context_files)
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    log.warning('skipping missing context file: %s', e)
    text = ''  # only if context is optional for your run

When it happens

Trigger: Running a screening task with context_files=['notes/thesis.md'] where the path is relative to a different working directory, has a typo, or the file was deleted/renamed after config was written. path.is_file() is false for directories too, so pointing at a folder raises the same error.

Common situations: Relative paths resolved against a cron/CI working directory instead of the project root; files synced incompletely to a server; absolute paths from another machine left in shared config; passing a directory or glob pattern instead of a file path.
