📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds configuration-driven controls for pattern learning: new config fields and docs, conditional initialization of pattern-learning components, gating of ranking and feedback behavior in refactron, and tests validating enabled/disabled combinations. No public API signatures changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Docs
README.md, docs/QUICK_REFERENCE.md
Documented "Pattern Learning" feature and added four optional YAML keys (enable_pattern_learning, pattern_learning_enabled, pattern_ranking_enabled, pattern_storage_dir) in examples (duplicated in QUICK_REFERENCE).
Examples
examples/refactron_monitoring.yaml
Added PATTERN LEARNING SETTINGS block with the four pattern-learning configuration keys and defaults.
Config Schema & Validation
refactron/core/config.py, refactron/core/config_validator.py
Added new config fields: enable_pattern_learning: bool, pattern_storage_dir: Optional[Path], pattern_learning_enabled: bool, pattern_ranking_enabled: bool; updated (de)serialization and path/boolean validation.
Core Engine
refactron/core/refactron.py
Conditional initialization of PatternStorage, PatternFingerprinter, PatternLearner, PatternMatcher, and RefactoringRanker based on config flags; gated ranking in refactor() and gated learning in record_feedback(); added logs and safe reset on init failure.
Tests
tests/test_patterns_feedback.py
Added TestPatternLearningConfigIntegration with tests covering disabled/enabled initialization, learning vs ranking flags, record_feedback behavior, ranking effects, and custom storage dir persistence.

  • Updated Refactron initialization to conditionally initialize pattern components based on config flags
  • Added validation for new boolean and path configuration fields
  • Created comprehensive tests for config-based enable/disable scenarios
  • Updated documentation (example config, quick reference, README)

  • There is no test coverage for the edge case where enable_pattern_learning=True but both pattern_learning_enabled=False and pattern_ranking_enabled=False. This scenario would initialize storage, fingerprinter, and matcher but neither learner nor ranker. While this may be an unlikely configuration, adding a test would ensure the initialization logic handles this case correctly and documents the expected behavior.

The test test_pattern_learning_enabled is incomplete. When enable_pattern_learning=True and both pattern_learning_enabled and pattern_ranking_enabled default to True, the learner and ranker should also be initialized. The test should verify that refactron.pattern_learner is not None and refactron.pattern_ranker is not None to ensure complete validation of the default configuration behavior.

The PatternMatcher is only used by the RefactoringRanker (passed as a parameter on line 157), but it's being initialized unconditionally whenever enable_pattern_learning=True, even when pattern_ranking_enabled=False. This means unnecessary resources are being allocated when ranking is disabled. Consider making the matcher initialization conditional on either pattern_learning_enabled or pattern_ranking_enabled being true. The comment on line 150 stating "Matcher is needed for both learning and ranking" appears to be inaccurate - the matcher is only needed for ranking.

Suggested change
# Matcher is needed for both learning and ranking
self.pattern_matcher = PatternMatcher(storage=self.pattern_storage)
# Initialize ranker only if ranking is enabled
if self.config.pattern_ranking_enabled:
# Matcher is only needed when ranking is enabled
if self.config.pattern_ranking_enabled:
self.pattern_matcher = PatternMatcher(storage=self.pattern_storage)
# Initialize ranker only if ranking is enabled

The test should verify that refactron.pattern_ranker is not None since pattern_ranking_enabled defaults to True when not explicitly set. The test currently only checks that the learner is None but doesn't verify that the ranker was properly initialized, which would make the test more complete and catch potential issues with the default ranking behavior.

The temp_storage_dir parameter is declared but never used in this test. Since pattern learning is disabled in this test, the storage directory is not needed. Consider removing this parameter to keep the test signature clean.
