Resilient batch data pipeline

This exercise demonstrates handling batches of semi-structured input safely: isolating failures, validating field types, and generating structured summaries without crashing. It needs only Python 3.11+.

python examples/structured-pipeline/verify.py starter --expect-failure
python examples/structured-pipeline/verify.py solution

The first command must report expected failure (unhandled exceptions, missing batch guardrails); the second must pass all tests. Then provide TASK.md to your coding agent (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) and ask it to fix starter/pipeline.py. Verify with:
