🚀 Major Architecture Refactoring: SciML-Style Method Dispatch

This PR transforms SymbolicIntegration.jl into a modern, extensible package using SciML-style method dispatch patterns, making it ready for multiple integration algorithms.

🏗️ SciML-Style Method Dispatch System

Clean Method Interface

# Default Risch method
integrate(f, x)

# Explicit method selection  
integrate(f, x, RischMethod())

# Method with custom options
integrate(f, x, RischMethod(use_algebraic_closure=true, catch_errors=false))

Abstract Type Hierarchy

AbstractIntegrationMethod
├── RischMethod (implemented)
├── AbstractRationalIntegration (future)
└── AbstractTranscendentalIntegration (future)

📁 Professional File Organization

Modular Source Structure

src/
├── SymbolicIntegration.jl       # Main module with all imports at top
├── methods/
│   ├── common/
│   │   ├── abstract_types.jl    # Type hierarchy & method traits
│   │   └── interface.jl         # Main dispatch interface
│   └── risch/
│       ├── risch_method.jl      # Method implementation
│       ├── rational_functions.jl
│       ├── transcendental_functions.jl
│       ├── differential_fields.jl
│       └── ... (all Risch components)
└── frontend.jl                  # Internal expression analysis

Organized Test Structure

test/
├── runtests.jl                  # Simple include dispatcher
├── test_core.jl                 # Core functionality & method dispatch
└── methods/
    ├── common/
    │   └── test_stewart_examples.jl
    └── risch/
        ├── test_rational_integration.jl
        ├── test_complex_fields.jl
        └── ... (method-specific tests)

🔧 RischMethod Configuration

Constructor & Options

RischMethod(; 
    use_algebraic_closure=true,    # Enable complex root finding
    catch_errors=true              # Graceful error handling
)

Method Traits (Instance-Based)

method_supports_rational(method::RischMethod)      # true
method_supports_transcendental(method::RischMethod) # true

📚 Enhanced Documentation

New Architecture Guide

  • manual/methods.md: Complete method dispatch documentation
  • Abstract type hierarchy: How the system works
  • Extension guide: Adding new integration methods
  • Configuration examples: Method options and use cases

Updated API Reference

  • Method types: AbstractIntegrationMethod, RischMethod
  • Dispatch patterns: Different usage examples
  • Professional documentation: Following SciML standards

🧹 Architecture Cleanup

Dependency Management

  • All imports at top level: Single source in main module
  • No redundant imports: Clean file organization
  • Proper export structure: Only public API exported

Code Quality

  • Removed @pure annotations: Using instance methods instead
  • Simplified test structure: runtests.jl just includes others
  • No backward compatibility complexity: Clean, focused design
  • Professional standards: Following Julia/SciML best practices

Functionality Verified

Method dispatch working:

  • ✅ Default integration: integrate(x^2, x)(1//3)*(x^3)
  • ✅ Explicit method: integrate(x^2, x, RischMethod())(1//3)*(x^3)
  • ✅ Method options: RischMethod(use_algebraic_closure=false) working
  • ✅ Core algorithms: Polynomial, exponential, logarithmic integration

🎯 Future Extensibility

This architecture enables:

  • Additional methods: Heuristic, numerical, specialized algorithms
  • Method composition: Combining different approaches
  • Community plugins: Third-party method implementations
  • Performance tuning: Method-specific optimizations

🔗 SciML Ecosystem Alignment

Follows established SciML patterns:

  • Abstract type hierarchies for algorithm organization
  • Method dispatch for algorithm selection
  • Configurable structs for method options
  • Instance-based traits for method capabilities
  • Modular architecture for extensibility

Foundation ready for a comprehensive symbolic integration ecosystem! 🏗️

🔧 **Clean Function Separation:**

## ✅ **Function Renaming:**
- integrate() → integrate_risch() (internal Risch implementation)
- Clean separation between public interface and Risch algorithm
- No backward compatibility concerns - clean implementation

## 🎯 **Method Dispatch:**
```julia
# Public interface (new)
integrate(f, x)                    # Uses RischMethod by default
integrate(f, x, RischMethod())     # Explicit method dispatch

# Internal implementation (renamed)
integrate_risch(f, x)              # Risch algorithm internals
```

## 📊 **Test Results:**
- ✅ **102 tests passing** (maintained)
- ✅ **1 test broken** (documented)
- ✅ **0 tests errored**
- ✅ All functionality preserved

## 🏗️ **Clean Architecture:**
- Clear separation between interface and implementation
- Method dispatch working correctly
- Internal Risch functions properly namespaced
- Ready for additional integration methods

Clean, professional implementation! ✨
