[nitpick] The truncation logic using chars().take(max_length - 3).collect::<String>() + \"...\" could be extracted into a helper function since it's specific logic that might be reused. Consider creating a truncate_with_ellipsis utility function.

The .gitignore pattern appears to be duplicated - line 6 has .gitignore and line 10 has **/.gitignore. The more specific pattern **/.gitignore should cover the general case, making the first entry redundant.

Missing operation type scoring logic. The match statement for file_data.operation_type is incomplete - it references operation_type.as_str() but operation_type is now an enum that should be matched directly without the .as_str() conversion.

Parameter inconsistency: operation parameter is a string but should be consistent with the enum types used elsewhere. Consider using &OperationType or converting the string to enum within the function for type consistency.

The new parallel function lacks comprehensive documentation. Add a docstring explaining the two-phase architecture, performance benefits, and how it differs from the multi-step approach.

<issue_description># Implementation Specification: Parallel Git Diff Analysis Algorithm
Executive Summary
This specification outlines the implementation of an optimized commit message generation algorithm for the git-ai project. The proposed solution addresses critical performance bottlenecks and parsing failures in the current implementation by replacing sequential API calls with a divide-and-conquer parallel approach. The optimization is expected to reduce processing time from 6.59 seconds to approximately 4 seconds for single-file commits, with even more dramatic improvements for multi-file commits.
Current System Analysis
Identified Problems
The existing
generate_commit_message_multi_stepfunction insrc/multi_step_integration.rsexhibits three fundamental issues that significantly impact both performance and reliability.The first issue concerns diff parsing accuracy. The current parser fails to correctly extract file paths and line counts from standard git diff output, instead defaulting to generic "unknown" filenames with zero line counts. This occurs despite receiving valid, parseable diff content from the git repository. The parsing failure cascades into subsequent analysis steps, resulting in empty summaries and degraded commit message quality.
The second issue involves unnecessary sequential processing. After completing the parallel file analysis phase, the system executes three additional API calls in sequence: impact score calculation, candidate message generation, and final message selection. Each of these calls waits for the previous one to complete, creating a sequential bottleneck that negates much of the benefit from the initial parallel analysis. The debug output reveals that these three sequential steps consume 1.25 seconds of processing time that could be eliminated through better architectural design.
The third issue relates to function calling overhead. The current implementation uses OpenAI's function calling feature with complex JSON schemas for structured output. While this approach provides type safety and structured data, it adds significant overhead to each API interaction. The observed 3.33-second response time for analyzing a single file suggests that schema validation and structured output parsing contribute meaningfully to overall latency.
Performance Baseline
The debug output from a recent execution provides concrete performance metrics. Total AI processing time spans 6.59 seconds for a single file commit, distributed as 3.33 seconds for individual file analysis, 0.65 seconds for impact score calculation, 0.60 seconds for commit message generation, and an additional 1.01 seconds for final message selection. The sequential nature of the post-analysis steps represents 2.26 seconds of latency that could be eliminated through algorithmic improvement.
Proposed Architecture
Design Philosophy
The optimized solution employs a true divide-and-conquer strategy organized into two distinct phases. The design philosophy prioritizes parallel execution where operations are independent and sequential execution only where necessary for data dependencies. By recognizing that individual file analyses require no knowledge of other files in the commit, the system can achieve true parallelism in the analysis phase. The subsequent synthesis phase naturally requires all analysis results, making it appropriately sequential.
Phase One: Parallel File Analysis
The first phase analyzes each changed file independently and simultaneously. For each file extracted from the git diff, the system spawns an independent asynchronous task that sends a focused API request to OpenAI. This request asks the model to provide a concise summary of what changed in the specific file and why that change matters to the overall codebase.
Each analysis task operates in complete isolation from other tasks. The prompt for file analysis includes only the information necessary to understand that specific file: the file path, the operation type, and the actual diff content showing the modified lines. This focused approach allows the language model to provide targeted insights without needing to consider the broader commit context.
The implementation leverages Rust's futures ecosystem, specifically the
join_allfunction that you have already imported from the futures crate. This function executes all analysis futures concurrently and waits for all of them to complete before proceeding. The concurrent execution means that a commit affecting five files takes approximately the same time as analyzing a single file, since all analyses run in parallel rather than sequentially.A critical architectural decision involves simplifying the API interaction model. Instead of using function calling with complex schemas, each an...
