Release v0.2.0 - Semantic Group Parallelization
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 byreview_lecture_smart())format_rules_for_llm()function (no longer needed)max_rulesparameters (automatic semantic grouping)--max-rules-per-requestCLI argument- Old YAML parser and database
Migration: No action required for users - the action automatically uses the new system.
