# 🛠️ TinyTorch Milestone System Implementation Guide

## Overview

This guide documents how to integrate the Enhanced Capability Unlock System with 5 major milestones into the existing TinyTorch framework. The implementation extends the current checkpoint system to provide milestone-based achievement tracking.

---

## 🏗️ Architecture Overview

### Current System Integration

The milestone system builds on TinyTorch's existing infrastructure:

- **Existing Checkpoints**: 16 individual capability checkpoints remain unchanged
- **New Milestone Layer**: 5 major milestones group related checkpoints
- **CLI Enhancement**: New `tito milestone` commands complement existing `tito checkpoint`
- **Achievement System**: Visual progress tracking and celebration features

### System Components

```

## 📊 Milestone-to-Checkpoint Mapping

### The Five Milestones

| Milestone | Capability | Key Module | Checkpoint Range | Victory Condition |
|-----------|------------|------------|------------------|-------------------|
| **1. Basic Inference** | Neural networks work | Module 04 | Checkpoints 00-03 | 85%+ MNIST accuracy |
| **2. Computer Vision** | MNIST recognition | Module 06 | Checkpoints 04-05 | 95%+ MNIST with CNN |
| **3. Full Training** | Complete training loops | Module 11 | Checkpoints 06-10 | CIFAR-10 training convergence |
| **4. Advanced Vision** | CIFAR-10 classification | Module 13 | Checkpoints 11-13 | 75%+ CIFAR-10 accuracy |
| **5. Language Generation** | GPT text generation | Module 16 | Checkpoints 14-15 | Coherent text generation |

### Detailed Checkpoint Groupings

## 🔌 Integration Points

### Module Completion Integration

Enhance `tito module complete` to trigger milestone checking:

```python
# In tito/commands/module.py
@module.command()
@click.argument('module_name')
@click.option('--skip-milestone-check', is_flag=True, help='Skip milestone progress check')
def complete(module_name, skip_milestone_check):
    """Complete module with export and milestone checking"""
    try:
        # Existing module completion logic
        export_result = export_module(module_name)
        
        if not skip_milestone_check:
            # NEW: Check milestone progress
            from ..core.milestone_tracker import MilestoneTracker
            tracker = MilestoneTracker()
            
            # Map module to potential milestone achievement
            milestone_id = _get_milestone_for_module(module_name)
            if milestone_id:
                test_result = tracker.test_milestone(milestone_id)
                if test_result['passed']:
                    console.print(f"\n🎉 MILESTONE {milestone_id} ACHIEVED! 🎉")
                    console.print(f"Run: tito milestone celebrate {milestone_id}")
        
        console.print(f"✅ Module {module_name} completed successfully")
        
    except TinyTorchError as e:
        console.print(f"[red]Error: {e}[/red]")
        raise click.Abort()

def _get_milestone_for_module(module_name: str) -> Optional[int]:
    """Map module completion to potential milestone achievement"""
    module_to_milestone = {
        '04_layers': 1,     # Basic Inference
        '06_spatial': 2,    # Computer Vision  
        '11_training': 3,   # Full Training
        '13_kernels': 4,    # Advanced Vision (could be 14_benchmarking)
        '16_tinygpt': 5     # Language Generation
    }
    return module_to_milestone.get(module_name)
```

### Status Command Enhancement

Enhance `tito status` to show milestone progress:

```python
# In tito/commands/status.py
@click.command()
@click.option('--milestones', '-m', is_flag=True, help='Show milestone progress')
def status(milestones):
    """Show TinyTorch system status"""
    
    if milestones:
        # NEW: Show milestone progress instead of module progress
        from ..core.milestone_tracker import MilestoneTracker
        tracker = MilestoneTracker()
        status_data = tracker.get_milestone_status()
        _display_milestone_status(status_data)
    else:
        # Existing module status logic
        _display_module_status()
```

### Assessment Integration

For instructors using NBGrader:

```python
# In tito/commands/grade.py
@grade.command()
@click.option('--milestone', '-m', type=int, help='Grade specific milestone')
@click.option('--student', help='Grade specific student')
def milestone(milestone, student):
    """Grade milestone achievement for students"""
    try:
        from ..core.milestone_tracker import MilestoneTracker
        from ..core.grade_tracker import GradeTracker
        
        tracker = MilestoneTracker()
        grader = GradeTracker()
        
        if student:
            result = grader.grade_student_milestone(student, milestone)
            console.print(f"Student {student} Milestone {milestone}: {result['score']}/100")
        else:
            results = grader.grade_class_milestone(milestone)
            _display_class_milestone_results(results)
            
    except TinyTorchError as e:
        console.print(f"[red]Error: {e}[/red]")
        raise click.Abort()
```

## 📊 Progress Tracking

### Local Progress Storage

Store milestone progress in `~/.tinytorch/progress.json`:

```json
{
  "milestones": {
    "1": {
      "started": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
      "completed": "2024-01-18T15:45:00Z",
      "achievements": ["mnist_85_percent", "network_architecture"],
      "best_score": 0.87
    },
    "2": {
      "started": "2024-01-18T16:00:00Z",
      "completed": null,
      "achievements": ["cnn_implementation"],
      "best_score": 0.91
    }
  },
  "current_milestone": 2,
  "total_progress": 0.3
}
```

### Analytics Integration

For educational analytics:

```python
# In tito/core/analytics.py
class MilestoneAnalytics:
    """Track milestone progress for educational insights"""
    
    def record_milestone_attempt(self, milestone_id: int, result: Dict[str, Any]):
        """Record milestone test attempt"""
        pass
        
    def record_milestone_completion(self, milestone_id: int, time_taken: float):
        """Record milestone achievement"""
        pass
        
    def get_completion_statistics(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
