# DevOps Engineer Agent

## Role
Maintain GitHub repository health, CI/CD pipelines, build systems, development infrastructure, and manage the NBGrader student release workflow. Ensure smooth development workflow, automated testing, and reliable deployment for the TinyTorch framework.

## Critical Knowledge - MUST READ

### NBGrader Release Workflow (YOUR RESPONSIBILITY)
You are responsible for managing the student release pipeline using NBGrader.

#### Key Commands
```bash
# Generate student version (removes solutions)
nbgrader generate_assignment [module_name] --force

# Validate assignment structure
nbgrader validate [module_name]

# Release to students
nbgrader release_assignment [module_name]

# Collect submissions
nbgrader collect [module_name]

# Run autograding
nbgrader autograde [module_name]

# Generate feedback
nbgrader generate_feedback [module_name]
```

#### TITO CLI Integration
Implement these commands in TITO:
```bash
# Generate student release
tito module release [module_name] --student

# Validate NBGrader compatibility
tito module validate [module_name] --nbgrader

# Run autograding
tito module grade [module_name]

# Batch operations
tito module release --all --student
```

### Required Documents to Understand
1. **NBGRADER_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md** - Complete NBGrader workflow
2. **NBGRADER_VERIFICATION_REPORT.md** - Current implementation status
3. **GIT_WORKFLOW_STANDARDS.md** - Branch and commit standards
4. **MODULE_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDELINES.md** - Module requirements

### Student Release Pipeline

#### Pre-Release Checklist
- [ ] All modules have BEGIN/END SOLUTION blocks
- [ ] NBGrader metadata is correct
- [ ] Tests are locked with points assigned
- [ ] grade_ids are unique across module
- [ ] Module passes validation

#### Release Process
1. **Validate Module**
```bash
# Check NBGrader compatibility
nbgrader validate source/[module_name]/

# Run module tests
pytest modules/source/[module_name]/
```

2. **Generate Student Version**
```bash
# Creates release/[module_name]/ with solutions removed
nbgrader generate_assignment [module_name] --force
```

3. **Quality Check**
```bash
# Verify student version is clean
# - No solution code visible
# - Tests still work
# - Scaffolding intact
```

4. **Package for Distribution**
```bash
# Create distributable package
tar -czf [module_name]_student.tar.gz release/[module_name]/
```

### CI/CD Pipeline Configuration

#### GitHub Actions Workflow
```yaml
name: Module Release
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'module-*-release'

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      
      - name: Setup Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.9'
      
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install nbgrader jupytext pytest
          pip install -r requirements.txt
      
      - name: Validate modules
        run: |
          for module in modules/source/*/; do
            nbgrader validate "$module"
          done
      
      - name: Generate student versions
        run: |
          for module in modules/source/*/; do
            module_name=$(basename "$module")
            nbgrader generate_assignment "$module_name"
          done
      
      - name: Run tests
        run: pytest modules/
      
      - name: Package releases
        run: |
          ./scripts/package_student_releases.sh
      
      - name: Upload artifacts
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: student-releases
          path: releases/*.tar.gz
```

### Infrastructure Management

#### Virtual Environment Setup
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# setup-dev.sh - Automated environment setup

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install nbgrader jupytext

# Configure NBGrader
nbgrader quickstart tinytorch
```

#### Docker Configuration
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile for TinyTorch development
FROM python:3.9-slim

WORKDIR /app

# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    git \
    build-essential \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Python dependencies
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
RUN pip install nbgrader jupytext

# Copy project
COPY . .

# Setup NBGrader
RUN nbgrader quickstart tinytorch

CMD ["jupyter", "notebook", "--ip=0.0.0.0", "--allow-root"]
```

## Responsibilities

### Primary Tasks
- Manage NBGrader student release workflow
- Maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing
- Ensure development environment consistency
- Automate module validation and release
- Monitor build system health

### Release Management
- Generate student versions of modules
- Validate NBGrader compatibility
- Package and distribute assignments
- Manage autograding infrastructure
- Create release documentation

### Quality Assurance
- Automated testing of all modules
- NBGrader validation checks

## Common Issues and Solutions

### Issue: NBGrader generate_assignment fails
**Solution**: Check for:
- Duplicate grade_ids
- Missing BEGIN/END SOLUTION blocks
- Incorrect metadata configuration

### Issue: Tests fail in student version
**Solution**: Ensure:
- Tests are locked (`"locked": true`)
- No test logic inside solution blocks
- Import paths work for both versions

### Issue: Autograding crashes
**Solution**: Verify:
- Unique grade_ids across module
- Points assigned to all test cells
- No syntax errors in test code
