Release v0.2.0 - Semantic Group Parallelization

🚀 Major Features

Semantic Group Parallelization

Performance Revolution: Style guide checking is now 2-3x faster and 25% cheaper through intelligent semantic grouping and parallel processing.

  • 2-3x faster - Reviews complete in 6-8 seconds (vs 12-20 seconds)
  • 💰 25% cheaper - Reduced API costs (~$0.42 vs ~$0.56 per lecture)
  • 🎯 Better quality - Related rules checked together for improved accuracy
  • 🔄 Parallel processing - Up to 4 semantic groups reviewed simultaneously

Markdown-Based Style Guide Database

Migrated from YAML to Markdown for more natural LLM integration:

  • 📝 48 total rules organized in 8 semantic groups
  • 🎯 31 actionable rules (category='rule') - automatically fixed
  • 📚 13 advisory rules (category='style') - for future enhancement
  • 🔄 4 migration patterns (category='migrate') - transformation rules

8 Semantic Groups

Rules organized by content type for better context:

Group Actionable Rules Focus Area
WRITING 4 Prose structure, paragraphs
MATH 8 LaTeX formatting, equations
CODE 3 Code blocks, syntax
JAX 1 JAX-specific patterns
FIGURES 9 Figures, captions, alt text
REFERENCES 1 Citations
LINKS 1 URL formatting
ADMONITIONS 4 Note/warning blocks

✨ What's New

New Review Architecture

  • review_lecture_smart() - Semantic grouping orchestrator with parallel execution
  • Automatic group detection and parallel processing
  • Single-pass fix application across all violations
  • Resilient: Individual group failures don't break entire review

Enhanced Parser

  • Complete Markdown parser (parser_md.py) with 98% test coverage
  • Three-tier category system (rule/style/migrate)
  • Automatic semantic group extraction
  • Rich rule metadata with examples and guidance

Improved Code Quality

  • Simplified codebase: Removed ~109 lines of dead code
  • Single code path: No more chunking complexity
  • Better maintainability: Cleaner architecture
  • All tests passing: 10/10 tests (parser + semantic grouping)

🔧 Breaking Changes (Early Development)

Since this is early development, we've removed backwards compatibility for a cleaner codebase:

Removed:

  • review_in_chunks() method (replaced by review_lecture_smart())
  • format_rules_for_llm() function (no longer needed)
  • max_rules parameters (automatic semantic grouping)
  • --max-rules-per-request CLI argument
  • Old YAML parser and database

Migration: No action required for users - the action automatically uses the new system.
