Extracting information to aid debugging (here a binary tournament merge failure) can often be productively automated with Unix command-line tools.

* Generate an API key.
2. **Set the environment variable** before running the script:
```bash
export MYODP_KEY="your_api_key_here"
./fetch-uspto.sh
```
Or prepend it inline:
```bash
MYODP_KEY="your_api_key_here" ./fetch-uspto.sh
```
3. If you want it to persist across sessions, add the line to your shell config (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`):
```bash
export MYODP_KEY="your_api_key_here"
```

Do you want me to show you how to modify `fetch-uspto.sh` so that it gives clearer instructions (like printing how to set the variable), instead of just failing?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34na47mry5rtwq3l7xm6w3hc/bafkreih2us42pwl7r4cxvmfwlij56yjxo2oclsvx7oqcteudgkd4rueecq)
![— In UML create a comment note.
— In UML diagrams, a **comment** (or “note”) is shown as a rectangle with a dog-eared corner.
Graphviz can mimic this by using `shape=note`.
Example in DOT:
```dot
digraph UML_Comment {
rankdir=LR;
node [fontname="Arial", fontsize=12];
// Regular UML component
A [label="«component»\nOrder Service", shape=component];
// UML comment
Cmt [label="Processes orders\nand handles payments", shape=note, style=filled, fillcolor="#ffffcc"];
// Dashed association from comment to element
Cmt -> A [style=dashed, arrowhead=none];
}
```
**Key points:**
* `shape=note` → dog-eared corner rectangle.
* `fillcolor` → makes the note background match UML style (light yellow is common).
* `style=dashed, arrowhead=none` → matches UML’s “annotates” relationship from a comment to a model element.

If you want, I can insert UML comment nodes into your **O1/O2 Graphviz diagram** to annotate entire clusters or specific tasks, so they look like sticky notes connected to the relevant part. Would you like me to do that?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34na47mry5rtwq3l7xm6w3hc/bafkreiaifxbhfdl5pkwcpva4ao6dt4yc5xaqnbt4b7jiesm3jme7p75oma)
