April 2025 performance highlights for viperleed/viperleed: Key features delivered: - Root domains property introduced to enable tracking and management of root domains; a public .domains property exposed for external usage. - Workhistory now uses the full root explorer context, enabling richer history analytics. - Domain exploration capabilities advanced with DomainRootExplorer and RootExplorer, including subdomain discovery and preparation for multi-domain support; DomainFinder and auto-detection in bookkeeper added; history subfolder handling from domain hash. - several refactors to improve consistency and maintainability: domain folder prefix moved to constants; subdomains represented as an immutable tuple; explicit relative paths in logs for readability. - Calc CLI and documentation improvements to clarify usage, root structure, and versioning; enhancements to testing documentation and coverage. Major bugs fixed: - Batch fixes across log/messages (typos, whitespace, substitutions for unit vectors, and doc references) improving observability and correct logging. - Work path resolution bug fixed to ensure the path is always resolved; related tests updated. - Various test-related fixes (wrong calls, indentation, pylint and doc-related tweaks) to improve test reliability. - Robust domain-path handling and metadata handling improvements (absolute/relative domain paths, metadata robustness, and completion semantics). - End-to-end domain logging fixes (end-of-domain messages, warnings on failures in domain trees, and log punctuation). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated multi-domain readiness with domain discovery, folder structure handling, and history/archival workflows, enabling faster onboarding of new domains and scalable management. - Improved reliability and observability through enhanced logging, end-to-end tests, and robust path/metadata handling; reduced noise and corrected edge-case handling in file, log, and domain operations. - Strengthened maintainability through code quality enhancements, refactors, and documentation updates, including versioning and usage guidelines. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python, with a focus on immutability (tuples) and constants for consistent domain-related values. - Logging improvements and clear log wording, plus explicit relative paths for readability. - Domain discovery, folder structure handling, and multi-domain preparation techniques. - Testing discipline: expanded coverage, linting (pylint), and docstring/comment improvements. - Documentation and versioning practices, including versionchanged and directive usage.
