feat: Add modules command and clean up CLI duplication

- Add new 'tito modules' command for comprehensive module status checking
  - Scans all modules in modules/ directory automatically
  - Shows file structure (dev file, tests, README)
  - Runs tests with --test flag
  - Provides detailed breakdown with --details flag

- Remove duplicate/stub commands:
  - Remove 'tito status' (unimplemented stub)
  - Remove 'tito submit' (unimplemented stub)

- Update 'tito test' command:
  - Focus on individual module testing with detailed output
  - Redirect 'tito test --all' to 'tito modules --test' with recommendation
  - Better error handling with available modules list

- Add comprehensive documentation:
  - docs/development/testing-separation.md - explains module vs package checking
  - docs/development/command-cleanup-summary.md - documents CLI cleanup

Key benefit: Clear separation between module development status (tito modules)
and TinyTorch package functionality (tito info) with no confusing overlaps.

## Command Purpose Matrix
| Command | Purpose | Scope | Output |
|---------|---------|-------|--------|
| `tito info` | Package functionality | TinyTorch package | What students can use |
| `tito modules` | Module development status | All modules | Development progress |
| `tito modules --test` | Test all modules | All modules | Test results overview |
| `tito test --module X` | Individual module testing | Single module | Detailed test output |
| `tito doctor` | Environment diagnosis | System | Environment health |
| `tito sync` | Export to package | Notebooks → Package | Build process |
## Usage Examples
### Check Overall Status
```bash
# What can students use?
tito info
# What modules are complete?
tito modules
# Which tests are passing?
tito modules --test
```
### Individual Module Development
```bash
# Test specific module with detailed output
tito test --module tensor
# Check detailed file structure
tito modules --details
# Export module to package
tito sync --module tensor
```
### Environment Management
```bash
# Check environment health
tito doctor
# Start development environment
tito jupyter
```
## Migration Guide
### Old → New Command Mapping
| Old Command | New Command | Notes |
|-------------|-------------|-------|
| `tito status --module X` | `tito modules` | Shows all modules, not just one |
| `tito test --all` | `tito modules --test` | Better overview format |
| `tito submit --module X` | *Removed* | Not needed for core workflow |
### Recommended Workflow
1. **Start development**: `tito doctor``tito info`
2. **Check progress**: `tito modules`
3. **Test modules**: `tito modules --test`
4. **Debug individual**: `tito test --module X`
5. **Export to package**: `tito sync`
This cleanup provides a much cleaner and more focused CLI experience with clear separation of concerns and no confusing duplicate functionality.

# Testing and Status Separation in TinyTorch
## Overview
TinyTorch now has **two separate systems** for checking different aspects of the project:
1. **Module Status Checking** - Are the individual modules working and passing their tests?
2. **TinyTorch Package Checking** - Are the core capabilities available in the exported package?
## 1. Module Status Checking: `tito modules`
**Purpose**: Check the development status of individual modules in the `modules/` directory.
**What it checks**:
-**File Structure**: Does the module have required files (`{module}_dev.py`, `tests/test_{module}.py`, `README.md`)?
-**Test Results**: Do the module's tests pass when run with pytest?
-**Development Progress**: Which modules are complete vs. incomplete?
**Commands**:
```bash
# Basic module status overview
tito modules
# Run tests for all modules and show results
tito modules --test
# Show detailed file structure breakdown
tito modules --details
```
**Example Output**:
```
Module Status Overview
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Module ┃ Dev File ┃ Tests ┃ README ┃ Test Results ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ activations │ ✅ │ ✅ │ ✅ │ ✅ Passed │
│ tensor │ ✅ │ ✅ │ ✅ │ ❌ Failed │
│ autograd │ ❌ │ ❌ │ ❌ │ No tests │
└─────────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────────────┘
📊 Summary: 7/16 modules complete, 4/16 tests passing
```
## 2. TinyTorch Package Checking: `tito info`
**Purpose**: Check if the exported TinyTorch package has the required functionality available.
**What it checks**:
-**Package Capabilities**: Can you import and use core TinyTorch functionality?
-**Functional Integration**: Do the different components work together?
-**Student Experience**: What can students actually use from the package?
**Commands**:
```bash
# Check TinyTorch package functionality
tito info
# Show hello message if setup is working
tito info --hello
```
**Example Output**:
```
🚀 Module Implementation Status

┃ ID ┃ Project ┃ Status ┃ Description ┃
┡━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ 1 │ Tensor │ ✅ Implemented │ basic tensor operations │
│ 2 │ Layers │ ✅ Implemented │ neural network building blocks │
│ 6 │ DataLoader │ ✅ Implemented │ data loading pipeline │
│ 7 │ Training │ ⏳ Not Started │ autograd engine & optimization │
└─────┴──────────────┴────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Key Differences
### Module Status (`tito modules`)
- **Scope**: Individual module development files
- **Focus**: Development workflow and testing
- **Checks**: File structure, test execution, completion status
- **Audience**: Developers working on modules
- **Granularity**: Per-module basis
### Package Status (`tito info`)
- **Scope**: Exported TinyTorch package functionality
- **Focus**: Student experience and package capabilities
- **Checks**: Import capabilities, functional integration
- **Audience**: Students using the package
- **Granularity**: Functional capabilities
## Use Cases
### For Module Developers
```bash
# Check which modules need work
tito modules
# Test all modules during development
tito modules --test
# See detailed breakdown of missing files
tito modules --details
```
### For Students/Users
```bash
# Check what TinyTorch features are available
tito info
# Test that my environment is working
tito info --hello
```
### For Instructors
```bash
# Check overall course progress
tito modules --test
# Verify student experience
tito info
# Run specific module tests
tito test --module tensor
```
## Architecture Benefits
### ✅ **Clear Separation of Concerns**
- Module development workflow vs. package functionality
- Different audiences, different needs
- No confusion between "learning modules" and "package capabilities"
### ✅ **Accurate Status Reporting**
- Module status reflects development progress
- Package status reflects student experience
- No false positives from organizational mismatches
### ✅ **Educational Value**
- Students see what they can actually use
- Developers see what needs to be implemented
- Clear progression from module → package → student usage
## Implementation Notes
### Module Status Implementation
- Scans `modules/` directory automatically
- Checks for required files: `{module}_dev.py`, `tests/test_{module}.py`, `README.md`
- Runs pytest on test files when `--test` flag is used
- Provides detailed file structure breakdown with `--details`
### Package Status Implementation
- Tests actual import capabilities from `tinytorch` package
- Checks functional integration (e.g., can you create a tensor and use it?)
- Focuses on **capabilities** not **module organization**
- Maps learning modules to functional components
## Future Enhancements
### Module Status
- Add git status integration
- Show module dependencies
- Track completion percentages
- Add module-specific metrics
### Package Status
- Add performance benchmarks
- Show version compatibility
- Add integration test results
- Track API completeness
This separation provides a much clearer picture of both development progress and student experience, avoiding the confusion that arose from trying to map pedagogical structure directly to package organization.
