Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 11:
further comprising:
based on the first set of images, detecting a second defect indicator in a second workpiece region of the workpiece;
based on the second defect indicator, accessing a third set of images captured by the end effector while traversing a second local scan path over the second workpiece region during a second local scan cycle;
based on the third set of images, characterizing the second defect indicator as a second defect of the first defect type;
calculating a second severity score of the first defect type for the second defect based on features, detected in the third set of images, cospatial with the second defect indicator;
in response to the second severity score falling below the target severity score range:
withholding a second repair toolpath for the second defect; and
predicting repair of the second defect via the first toolpath;

based on the first set of images, detecting a third defect indicator in a third workpiece region of the workpiece;
based on the third defect indicator, accessing a fourth set of images captured by the end effector while traversing a third local scan path over the third workpiece region during a third local scan cycle;
based on the fourth set of images, characterizing the third defect indicator as a third defect of the first defect type;
calculating a third severity score of the first defect type for the third defect based on features, detect in the fourth set of images, cospatial with the third defect indicator; and
in response to the third severity score exceeding the target severity score range:
withholding a third repair toolpath for the third defect; and
flagging the third defect for manual repair; and

wherein generating the first toolpath comprises, in response to the second severity score falling below the target severity score range and in response to the third severity score exceeding the target severity score range, generating the first toolpath:
spanning the second workpiece region and the second defect; and
avoiding the third defect in the third workpiece region.
