kuhy overruled the "do not fix coursework to be better than it was submitted"
rule: git history is the archive, so the working tree can be clean. This lands
the config and the mechanical half of the cleanup -- 9,281 ruff findings under
the fleet config down to 3,686, with no per-file-ignores anywhere.
What is in here:
- pyproject.toml, the first one in this repo. select = ["ALL"], mypy strict,
and the vendored list mirrored into ruff exclude and coverage omit. Five
rules are off and each says why; CPY001 is the only judgement call, because
stamping a copyright header onto 137 university assignments would assert a
licence that was never claimed. No hook is wired up yet -- a gate lands only
once its subject is clean.
- ruff format + the safe fixes, then a second pass over the docstring rules
ruff marks unsafe (they only edit docstring text). 108 files.
- TRAK/sightpy is vendored, not coursework: it is rafael-fuente/Python-Raytracer
(BSD 3-Clause). Verified against a fresh upstream clone with line endings
normalised -- 30 of 32 files byte-identical, ray.py and scene.py carrying a
12- and 13-line local patch that counts rays for the report. 35 files that
should never have been linted, now excluded and restored.
- WDWR, SPD, MOM and ECRYPT are fully clean, by hand and verified by running
them: WDWR's three plot scripts print the same statistics as before, MOM's
PuLP model solves to the same cost. WDWR's graph.py had a 342-character CSV
header embedded as a string literal, which cannot be wrapped -- the data
moved to data/pareto_front.csv. Two 0-byte .py stubs are deleted; an empty
file is not a deliverable and git still has it.
Three harness bugs found by actually running things:
- `run` now forces MPLBACKEND=Agg. TRAK finished its ray trace in 37 seconds
and then sat for 45 minutes: plt.show() had opened an image viewer and was
waiting for someone to close the window.
- TRAK's main.py only pops that viewer with --show now, and its runner writes
to a gitignored build/ via the new --entry-args. The default output path is
outputs/output.png, which is TRACKED -- a plain run overwrote a submitted
deliverable.
- course_lib.sh was 357 lines, over this repo's own cap. Split into
course_probe.sh and course_run.sh.
Verified: ECOTE 26 tests pass, ECRYPT_PROJECT 99 pass, TRAK renders
cornell_box in 37s and exits 0, every module compiles, and every import ruff
removed was checked to be genuinely unused.

All 44 directories now probe: 38 runnable, 5 no-code, 1 blocked (ENUME needs
MATLAB or Octave, neither of which is on this machine).
The runners are stubs over one shared scripts/course_lib.sh rather than 44
copies of the logic, for the same reason the gates live in ~/utils. A stub
passes its kind as ARGUMENTS -- course_main --kind python --entry ... -- "$@"
-- rather than setting globals, because globals a linter cannot see being read
mean SC2034 on every one of them, and the only cure would be 44 disables.
Fixed along the way:
- Generating the stubs overwrote Programming/PSD/run.sh, the original
coursework runner. Restored, and given a --probe early exit instead so it
is otherwise untouched: it installs packages with sudo and starts Kafka,
which is exactly what a probe must not trigger.
- The probe guard only recognised runners containing the literal --probe, so
the new stubs (which delegate to the library) all read unprobed. It now
also accepts delegation to course_lib.sh.
- Blocked probes reported "unknown" because _require_any prints the tool it
found, so probes redirected its stdout -- swallowing the failure reason
too. Split into _probe_any, and ENUME now says exactly what it needs.
- shellcheck runs with -x so it follows the sourced library; without it every
stub reports SC1091 and the only alternative is a per-file disable. The
library itself carries `# shellcheck shell=bash` because it has no shebang
on purpose -- it is sourced, never executed.
Then EADS was actually run, and three of its six C++ files did not compile:
- lab3.cpp: copyDictionary was declared taking Dictionary* but its body used
Node members, and the copy constructor called copyTree(), which does not
exist. The copy also dropped key and balanceFactor. Now compiles AND runs,
printing its AVL tests.
- MidTerm/task2.cpp: a const mismatch between declaration and definition, a
stray semicolon before a function body, findNode calling a Tree method on
a treeNode*, and a while loop that never advanced. sumNodeSub also had no
base case -- unreachable before, because the const mismatch meant its body
was never compiled.
These compiled years ago because older GCC did not diagnose uninstantiated
template bodies. Fragments with no main() are now type-checked with -c rather
than linked, since two of these files are exam answers, not programs.
Binaries go to a gitignored build/ -- an extensionless executable dropped next
to its source is not something .gitignore catches by name.

Untracked (--cached, so they stay on disk): 76 LaTeX artifacts, 7 .xdv XeTeX
intermediates, 18 -eps-converted-to.pdf from epstopdf, 32 files of .NET
obj/Debug/net6.0 output including three copies of lab2.dll, 16 .class/.o, the
9 MB Nx cache with its native .node, and an entire committed Python
virtualenv at ECOTE/program/ecote (python 3.10.10, 18 files).
The existing 407-line LaTeX .gitignore was NOT unused as I first assumed --
it already covered *.aux and *.class, and the artifacts simply predate it. So
this appends the categories it missed (*.o, obj/, .venv/, .nx/, target/)
rather than rewriting something that was working.
The second half is the more interesting bug. Auditing with
git ls-files | git check-ignore --stdin --no-index
found 130 files that were tracked AND ignored. That combination fails
silently: `git add` on such a file is not an error, the edit just never
lands. Causes were dist/ swallowing the vendored jQuery/Bootstrap bundle,
.vscode/ and .idea/, and -- the good one -- the LaTeX template's man-page
patterns *.[1-9] and *.[1-9][0-9] matching EPFU's date-named report
directories, so doc/21.11/ read as a man page section and took report.pdf
and seven screenshots with it.
32 of those 130 turned out to be more build output and were untracked too;
the rest got targeted ! overrides. The first attempt used a blanket
!NotProgramming/EMISY/** which re-enabled that course's own LaTeX artifacts,
so it is narrowed to the *.1 schematic exports that actually needed it.
TRAK's nested .gitignore excluded the .vscode DIRECTORY, which stops git
descending, so no root-level ! can reach inside -- that one had to be fixed
at its source.
Both invariants now verified: 0 tracked files ignored, and 0 of the 189
untracked artifacts leaked back into view.
