I thought
the inspection period would be a discovery period where I find out
about any problems with the house, and the 10 days are used by the
seller and myself to negotiate the repairs for the purchase of the
house?

That is how it should be. Do you have a lawyer? Actually the lawyers
are the ones who should get the inspection reports and then handle any
necessary negotiations on repairs--and the only repairs you should ask
for are issues that are code violations and/or affect your immediate
safety or major structural issues.
