malformed dataframe

Automation queue not empty
Received new data frame with shape: (20, 9)
Error processing automation data: too many values to unpack (expected 7)

Root cause: automation UI was unpacking dataframe rows positionally as 7 values (). After adding and to lock-in logging, the dataframe now has 9 columns, which triggered during queue processing.\n\nFix: updated to read fields by column name () instead of tuple unpacking, and added Real/Imag display lines. This makes the UI resilient to schema additions and resolves the runtime error.

Clarification with exact field names (escaped):\n\nRoot cause: automation UI unpacked each dataframe row into a fixed 7-value tuple using positional order. After lock-in logging added RealOut and ImagOut, the automation dataframe became 9 columns, causing the runtime error: too many values to unpack (expected 7).\n\nFix implemented: update_automation_textbox now reads values by column name with latest.get("...", "NA") instead of positional tuple unpacking, and displays Real/Imag in the output text. This makes the UI tolerant to schema changes and fixes the queue processing failure.
