Documentation updates across the codebase:
Root documentation:
- README.md: Updated references from book/ to site/
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated build and workflow instructions
- .shared-ai-rules.md: Updated AI assistant rules for new structure
GitHub configuration:
- Issue templates updated for new module locations
- Workflow references updated from book/ to site/
docs/ updates:
- STUDENT_QUICKSTART.md: New paths and structure
- module-rules.md: Updated module development guidelines
- NBGrader documentation: Updated for module restructuring
- Archive documentation: Updated references
Module documentation:
- modules/17_memoization/README.md: Updated after reordering
All documentation now correctly references:
- site/ instead of book/
- modules/XX_name/ instead of modules/source/
Added clear documentation of the Source → Export → Use workflow:
Three Sacred Principles:
1. ONLY edit files in modules/source/ (source of truth)
2. ALWAYS use tito export to build tinytorch/ package
3. NEVER modify tinytorch/ directly (generated code!)
Key additions:
- Visual diagram showing modules/source/ → tito export → tinytorch/ → milestones/
- Explicit warning that tinytorch/ is generated (like node_modules/)
- Complete workflow example from edit to test to use
- Clear explanation of what each directory is for
- Warning that manual tinytorch/ edits will be lost
This ensures contributors understand that:
- modules/source/ = where you work
- tinytorch/ = generated package (don't touch!)
- milestones/ = use the exported package
🔄 CONSOLIDATION: Merged separate testing patterns into module development best practices
�� COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE NOW INCLUDES:
- Complete testing architecture (inline → module → integration → system)
- pytest requirements for all testing levels (ALWAYS use pytest)
- Real data requirements for integration/system tests
- Stubbed dependencies for module-level isolation
- Detailed examples for each testing tier
- Anti-patterns covering testing mistakes
- Quality standards including testing requirements
- Complete development workflow with testing integration
🧪 TESTING ARCHITECTURE CLARIFIED:
- Inline unit tests: Immediate feedback in development code
- Module tests: pytest with stubbed dependencies (isolation)
- Integration tests: pytest with real modules and real data
- System tests: pytest with complete workflows and real datasets
📚 EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS:
- Students learn proper testing architecture
- Immediate feedback through inline tests
- Professional pytest usage throughout
- Real-world testing patterns and practices
- Clear separation of concerns across testing levels
This creates one comprehensive reference document for both module development and testing practices, eliminating duplication and ensuring consistency.
🏗️ REPOSITORY RESTRUCTURE:
- Created instructor/ directory with organized subdirectories
- Moved analysis tools to instructor/tools/
- Moved reports to instructor/reports/
- Moved guides to instructor/guides/
- Created docs/ structure for future Quarto documentation
�� NEW STRUCTURE:
- instructor/tools/ - Analysis and utility scripts
- instructor/reports/ - Generated report cards
- instructor/guides/ - Instructor documentation
- instructor/templates/ - Templates and examples
- docs/ - Documentation structure
🔧 FUNCTIONALITY:
- Created analyze_modules.py wrapper for easy access
- Updated paths to work from new locations
- All analysis tools working from reorganized structure
- Comprehensive instructor README with usage guide
✅ VERIFICATION:
- Analysis tools work from root directory
- All modules can be analyzed successfully
- Report generation functions correctly
- Clean, logical directory organization
