⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

Type Handling

In multiple prompt flows, the returned value may be a Choice or a raw string. Ensure consistent handling and typing (especially when accessing .value or .value.data) to avoid runtime errors if the prompt returns unexpected types.

formatter_choices = [
    Choice("⚫ black", data="black"),
    Choice("⚡ ruff", data="ruff"),
    Choice("🔧 other", data="other"),
    Choice("❌ don't use a formatter", data="don't use a formatter"),
]

result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=formatter_choices[0])
if result.command is None:
    apologize_and_exit()
formatter = result.value.data if isinstance(result.value, Choice) else result.value

git_remote = ""
Exit Flow Consistency

Several prompts treat result.command is None as a cancel and immediately exit. Verify this matches desired UX in all places (e.g., module/tests selection, GH Actions setup) and won’t surprise users by exiting instead of re-prompting.

default_choice = project_name if project_name in module_subdir_options else module_subdir_options[0]
result = prompts.select(
    "Which Python module do you want me to optimize?", choices=module_subdir_options, default=default_choice
)
if result.command is None:
    apologize_and_exit()
module_root_answer = result.value
if module_root_answer == curdir_option:
API Stability

The wrapper relies on inquirer_textual internal widget classes and return structure. Confirm these APIs and the .run(inline=True) return shape (command/value) are stable across versions to prevent breakages.

def select(  # noqa: ANN201
    message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], default: str | Choice | None = None
):  # type: ignore[no-untyped-def]
    widget = InquirerSelect(message, choices, default, mandatory=True)
    app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False)
    return app.run(inline=True)


def confirm(message: str, *, default: bool = False):  # noqa: ANN201  # type: ignore[no-untyped-def]
    widget = InquirerConfirm(message, default=default, mandatory=True)
    app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False)
    return app.run(inline=True)


def text(message: str):  # noqa: ANN201  # type: ignore[no-untyped-def]
    widget = InquirerText(message)
    app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False)
    return app.run(inline=True)


def checkbox(  # noqa: ANN201
    message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], enabled: list[str | Choice] | None = None
):  # type: ignore[no-untyped-def]
    widget = InquirerCheckbox(message, choices, enabled)
    app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False)

Possible issue
Use boolean confirm instead of select

Use a proper boolean confirm prompt to avoid fragile string comparisons and
localization issues. Replace the select with prompts.confirm and branch on its
boolean value.

codeflash/cli_cmds/cmd_init.py [573-577]

-result = prompts.select("Create pyproject.toml in the current directory?", choices=["Yes", "No"], default="Yes")
-if result.command is None or result.value == "No":
+result = prompts.confirm("Create pyproject.toml in the current directory?", default=True)
+if result.command is None or result.value is False:
     apologize_and_exit()
 create_empty_pyproject_toml(pyproject_toml_path)
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: Replacing a Yes/No select with a boolean confirm reduces string-comparison fragility and improves UX; the improved_code aligns with the PR’s new prompt framework (prompts.confirm) and keeps behavior consistent.

Medium
Normalize select default and value handling

Ensure the default passed to select matches the widget’s expected type. Pass the
underlying value (label or Choice) consistently and avoid mixing plain strings and
Choice objects to prevent selection mismatch.

codeflash/cli_cmds/cmd_init.py [473-484]

 formatter_choices = [
     Choice("⚫ black", data="black"),
     Choice("⚡ ruff", data="ruff"),
     Choice("🔧 other", data="other"),
     Choice("❌ don't use a formatter", data="don't use a formatter"),
 ]
 
-result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=formatter_choices[0])
+default_choice = formatter_choices[0]
+result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=default_choice)
 if result.command is None:
     apologize_and_exit()
-formatter = result.value.data if isinstance(result.value, Choice) else result.value
+formatter = result.value.data
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4

__

Why: Passing a Choice as default is already done and supported; forcing formatter = result.value.data may be slightly cleaner but the current isinstance guard is safe, making the improvement minor.

Low
General
Validate non-empty choices

Guard against empty choices to prevent runtime errors inside the widget and provide
a clear failure path. Validate input early and raise a helpful error message.

codeflash/cli_cmds/themed_prompts.py [69-75]

 def select(  # noqa: ANN201
     message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], default: str | Choice | None = None
 ):  # type: ignore[no-untyped-def]
+    if not choices:
+        raise ValueError("select() requires at least one choice")
     widget = InquirerSelect(message, choices, default, mandatory=True)
     app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False)
     return app.run(inline=True)
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: Adding an early check for empty choices prevents runtime errors and clarifies failures; it's a small but useful robustness improvement that accurately updates the provided code block.

⚡️Codeflash found 17% (0.17x) speedup for confirm in codeflash/cli_cmds/themed_prompts.py

⏱️ Runtime : 412 microseconds 350 microseconds (best of 14 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization eliminates intermediate variable assignments by directly chaining object creation and method calls in a single return statement.

Key Changes:

  • Removed the widget variable assignment that stored the InquirerConfirm instance
  • Removed the app variable assignment that stored the CodeflashThemedApp instance
  • Combined both instantiations and the .run() call into one expression

Why This Improves Performance:
In Python, variable assignments create name bindings in the local namespace, which involves dictionary operations and reference counting. By eliminating these intermediate variables, the optimization reduces:

  • Local namespace lookups and assignments
  • Temporary object reference management
  • Memory allocation for storing variable references

The line profiler shows the optimization maintains the same computational cost for the expensive InquirerConfirm creation (98%+ of total time), while reducing overhead from variable management operations.

Impact on Workloads:
This optimization provides the most benefit when the confirm function is called frequently, as the 17% speedup compounds across multiple calls. The test results show consistent improvements ranging from 1-20% across different scenarios, with the best gains on simpler operations where variable overhead represents a larger percentage of total execution time.

Test Case Performance:
The optimization performs well across all test scenarios, with particular benefits for edge cases involving special characters and type validation where the function execution is lighter and variable overhead becomes more significant relative to total runtime.
