… primary user twice - CheckTars.py wrote the per-image home_tar manifest from `tar czf` stdout, which is empty, so the manifest never listed anything and home_tar seed files (documents, bookmarks, notes) were collected into the student .lab archive whenever the image was built the same day the lab was started. `tar czvf` produces the list the designer guide describes. - Student.py otherUsers() skipped only the primary user's top directory and then walked into its subdirectories, so every deliverable appeared a second time under other_users/<primary user>/.

Two small fixes in the student-artifact path (stoplab -> .lab archive), found while auditing what our students' archives contain.
CheckTars.py: the per-image
home_tarmanifest (config/<image>-home_tar.list) is written from the stdout oftar czf ..., which prints nothing, so the manifest is always empty andStudent.pynever skips thehome_tarseed files the lab designer guide ("Large or numerous files in the home directory") says are excluded.tar czvfproduces the list. This matters whenever the image is built the same day the lab is started (designer/instructor test runs); for older images the modify-time rule already hides them.Student.py
otherUsers(): it skips only the exact primary-user home directory and thenos.walkdescends into its subdirectories, so every file under the primary user's home is archived a second time underother_users/<primary user>/. Skip the whole subtree.Both verified on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) containers: the archive now holds the student's edited deliverables once, plus
.local/resultand bash histories, and no seed files.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
