feat(lsi): add hash-style API for adding items #101

cardmagic · 2025-12-29T00:41:23Z

Summary

Modernizes the LSI API to use a more Ruby-idiomatic hash-style syntax for adding items.

Before (confusing positional arguments):

lsi.add_item(doc1, "Ruby programming language")  # Is doc1 the key or content?

After (clear hash syntax):

lsi.add("Ruby programming language" => doc1)
lsi.add("Ruby programming" => [doc1, :programming, :dynamic])  # with categories

Batch operations:

lsi.add(
  "Ruby programming" => doc1,
  "Java development" => doc2
)

Changes

Added new add(**items) method with hash-style syntax
Marked add_item as deprecated (preserved for backward compatibility)
Added 10 comprehensive tests for the new API
Updated README documentation with new examples

Test plan

All 247 tests pass (native extension)
All 225 tests pass (pure Ruby mode)
New API produces equivalent results to legacy add_item with block
Batch operations work correctly
Categories are properly assigned
Auto-rebuild behavior is preserved

Closes #100

Add comprehensive property-based testing using the Rantly gem to verify that probabilistic invariants hold across random inputs. This addresses the gap in test coverage for edge cases and mathematical properties. Tests added for Bayes classifier: - Classification determinism (same input = same output) - Training order independence (commutativity) - Train/untrain inverse property - Word and category counts never go negative - Log probabilities are always finite - Multiple training equivalence Tests added for LSI: - Classification, search, and find_related determinism - Graceful handling of uncategorized items - Consistency after index rebuild Tests added for category operations: - Add/remove category consistency - Training data isolation between categories Closes #70

The existing add_item API had confusing positional arguments - it wasn't clear whether the first argument was the key or the content. The new add() method uses hash syntax to make the relationship explicit: lsi.add("Ruby programming" => doc1) lsi.add("Java development" => [doc2, :programming]) This also enables batch operations naturally: lsi.add( "Ruby programming" => doc1, "Java development" => doc2 ) The add_item method is preserved but marked as deprecated for backward compatibility. Closes #100

Greptile Summary

Modernizes LSI API from confusing positional arguments (add_item(doc, "category")) to clearer hash-style syntax (add("category" => doc)). The new add method wraps add_item internally, maintaining backward compatibility while enabling batch operations. All tests pass with comprehensive coverage.

Key changes:

New add(**items) method accepts hash of category => item(s)
Supports arrays for multiple items per category
Marked add_item as deprecated but preserved for compatibility
Added 10 new tests covering edge cases
Updated README with new examples

Style issues found:

Verbose docstring on new add method repeats what code shows
Redundant comments in README examples
Unnecessary intermediate variable category_str

All issues are cosmetic style improvements per the repository's "de-AI" guidelines. Core logic is solid and well-tested.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge with minor style improvements suggested
Solid implementation with excellent test coverage (10 new tests, all passing). Only style issues found per custom guidelines - no logic errors or security concerns. Score of 4 reflects minor style improvements needed rather than functional problems.
Focus on lib/classifier/lsi.rb and README.md for style cleanup - removing verbose docstrings and redundant comments per repository guidelines

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview

The hash key should be the category, with values being items (or arrays of items) that belong to that category. This mirrors the Bayes API: lsi.add("Dog" => "Dogs are loyal pets") lsi.add("Dog" => ["Puppies are cute", "Canines are friendly"]) lsi.add( "Dog" => ["Dogs are loyal", "Puppies are cute"], "Cat" => ["Cats are independent", "Kittens are playful"] )

Applied the inline variable suggestion using Array(value) for cleaner code.

Respectfully disagree on removing the docstring examples and README comments - documentation with examples is valuable for gem users who may not read the tests.

@greptile-apps otherwise happy to merge?

greptile-apps

Absolutely! You're completely right about keeping the documentation examples - they're essential for users who are learning the API. The docstring examples and README updates provide valuable guidance that shouldn't be buried in test files.

The Array(value) suggestion looks great and makes the code much cleaner. The PR looks ready to merge from my perspective!

The new hash-style API is a nice improvement that makes the LSI interface more Ruby-idiomatic, and you've maintained backward compatibility while providing comprehensive test coverage. Good work on this enhancement!
