 The wrapper writes one output subdirectory per scene. On successful runs it saves defaults next to the executable in `gf3wrapper.json`, so double-click interactive mode can reuse the previous input/output/DEM/polarization settings.
 
+Batch directory runs continue after per-scene failures. If one archive is truncated, invalid, missing metadata, or fails during SARscape processing, the wrapper prints the failed scene and reason, skips that scene, and continues with the remaining scenes. At the end it prints a batch summary and returns a non-zero exit code when any scene failed.

 Directory mode recursively scans for `*.tar.gz`, `*.tgz`, and `*.meta.xml`. If both archive and metadata exist for the same scene name, the archive is preferred. Internal `.gf3_extract` folders are skipped.
 
+## Batch Failure Handling
+
+Directory runs are fault-tolerant at the scene level. If a single scene cannot be extracted or processed, the wrapper records that scene as failed, prints the input path and error reason, and continues with the next scene.
+
+Archive read errors include the archive path, archive size when available, and the archive member being read when the failure happened. For example, a truncated `.tar.gz` reports that the archive appears incomplete and should be re-copied or re-downloaded.
+
+At the end of the run, the wrapper prints a summary:
+
+```text
+Batch summary: 3 succeeded, 1 failed, 4 total
+Failed scenes:
+- GF3_... (<archive path>): <failure reason>
+```
+
+If any scene failed, the process exits with a non-zero status after the summary. This lets scheduled jobs detect that the batch needs attention while still preserving successful outputs from other scenes.
+
 ## Outputs
 
 Each scene is processed into its own output directory:

 If `gf3wrapper.json` exists next to the executable, omitted `-input`, `-output`, `-dem`, and `-pol` values are loaded from that file.
 
+In batch directory mode, a failed scene does not stop the whole run. Invalid or truncated archives, missing metadata, and SARscape failures are reported with the scene input path and reason, then the wrapper continues with the next scene. A final summary lists succeeded and failed scenes, and the process exits non-zero when any scene failed.

 - The server still needs ENVI, IDL Runtime, and SARscape installed and licensed.
