Conversation
WalkthroughEstablishes the initial MiniChain project structure with CI/CD automation, build configuration, package initialization, CLI entry point, placeholder modules for blockchain components, and basic tests. No functional logic is implemented; most core modules contain only docstrings for future development. Changes

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 15-23: The CI step using the setup-python action (uses:
actions/setup-python@v5) should enable pip caching to avoid re-downloading
packages each run; update the "Setup Python" step to include the cache: "pip"
input on that action so the runner caches installed pip packages for subsequent
jobs and speeds up the "Install dependencies" step where pip installs project
dev dependencies.
In @.gitignore:
- Around line 265-271: Remove the unrelated LaTeX block from .gitignore: delete
all LaTeX-specific patterns (e.g., entries matching *.tex, *.bib, *.aux, *.log,
*.toc and other TeX/LaTeX temporary files) that were pulled in from a template,
and keep only the project-relevant entries such as the MiniChain local planning
docs header, the Python cache/virtualenv lines (__pycache__/, *.py[cod],
.pytest_cache/, .ruff_cache/, .venv/) and the docs/ entry; update the file so it
no longer contains the large LaTeX section and only retains those minimal,
project-specific ignore lines.
In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 1-21: Add a new Makefile target named clean that deletes common
Python/Cython build artifacts (e.g., __pycache__, *.py[cod], build/, dist/,
*.egg-info, .pytest_cache, .mypy_cache) using rm -rf patterns, and add clean to
the .PHONY list so it's treated as a phony target; update the Makefile by adding
the clean target (and its patterns) beneath the existing targets and appending
clean to the .PHONY declaration that currently lists install dev-install test
lint format start-node.
In `@pyproject.toml`:
- Around line 16-19: The network optional dependency currently lists the
non-existent package "py-libp2p>=0.2.0" under [project.optional-dependencies]
"network"; update that entry to use the canonical PyPI name "libp2p>=0.2.0"
(preserving the version specifier and string formatting) so `pip install
minichain[network]` correctly resolves the package.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 7: Update the README line that currently reads "Issue `#1` (project
scaffolding) is implemented with:" to reference the correct issue number for
this PR by replacing "Issue `#1`" with "Issue `#8`" so the documentation matches the
actual ticket; locate the exact text in README.md and modify the string literal
"Issue `#1`" to "Issue `#8`".
In `@tests/test_scaffold.py`:
- Around line 20-23: Replace the single loop-based
test_component_modules_are_importable with a parameterized pytest test so each
entry in COMPONENT_MODULES is its own case: use
`@pytest.mark.parametrize`("module", COMPONENT_MODULES) and rename the test to
something like test_component_module_is_importable(module), then inside
importlib.import_module(f"minichain.{module}") assert the result is not None;
reference the existing COMPONENT_MODULES constant and the current
test_component_modules_are_importable to locate where to change.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Consider adding pip caching to speed up CI.
Adding a cache: 'pip' option to the setup-python action avoids re-downloading packages on every run.

Remove unnecessary LaTeX patterns from .gitignore.
The Python patterns at lines 265-271 are correct and appropriate. However, the .gitignore file contains 260+ lines of LaTeX-specific patterns (lines 1-260, 272-337), yet no .tex or .bib files exist anywhere in this Python project. This .gitignore appears to be an unmodified LaTeX template.
Remove the entire LaTeX section to reduce file bloat and maintain clarity. Keep only:
- Lines 1-5: MiniChain local planning docs
- Lines 265-271: Python caches and virtualenvs
- Line 340: docs/
This will reduce .gitignore from 340 lines to ~13 lines while removing dead code that serves no purpose for this project.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Add a clean target to remove build artifacts.
As the project grows, __pycache__, .egg-info, .pytest_cache, and other artifacts will accumulate. A clean target is a standard convenience for development workflows.

🌐 Web query:
py-libp2p PyPI package
💡 Result:
On PyPI, py-libp2p is published under the package name libp2p (Python implementation of the libp2p networking stack). The latest listed release is 0.5.0 (Dec 21, 2025). [1]
Install:
pip install libp2p[1]
Fix incorrect package name in network dependencies.
The package py-libp2p does not exist on PyPI. The canonical package name is libp2p. Change py-libp2p>=0.2.0 to libp2p>=0.2.0 to ensure pip install minichain[network] works correctly.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Parametrize the import test for better failure diagnostics.
If one module fails to import, pytest will report a single failure with no indication of which module caused it. Using @pytest.mark.parametrize gives each module its own test case.
