Summary

Refactors Jupyter notebook interpreter to use pure streaming parsing via ijson, achieving 97.9% memory reduction for large notebooks (far exceeds 40% target).

Changes

  • Removed full-load fallbacks: Eliminated 86 lines of code that defeated streaming purpose
  • Made ijson required dependency: Added to pyproject.toml and requirements.txt
  • Fixed cell counting: Parser now counts all cells accurately while limiting content sampling
  • Version bump: 0.2.0 → 0.3.0
  • Added comprehensive tests: 4 new memory profiling tests validate efficiency
  • Documentation: Created tutorial explaining the optimization

Memory Impact

For a 3.6MB notebook (1,000 cells):

  • Before: ~8MB peak memory
  • After: ~165KB peak memory
  • Reduction: 97.9%

Test Results

✅ All 6 ipynb interpreter tests pass
✅ Memory reduction test validates >=40% target (achieved 97.9%)
✅ Cell counting accuracy verified with 1,500 cell notebook
✅ Small notebook efficiency test passes (< 1MB peak)

Files Changed

  • pyproject.toml - Added ijson dependency
  • requirements.txt - Added ijson dependency
  • scidk/interpreters/ipynb_interpreter.py - Refactored to pure streaming
  • tests/test_ipynb_interpreter.py - Added memory profiling tests
  • docs/ipynb-streaming-optimization.md - Tutorial documentation

Migration Notes

Zero API changes required. Existing code continues to work unchanged.

…ory reduction

Refactored Jupyter notebook interpreter to use pure streaming parsing:
- Made ijson a required dependency (was optional/fallback)
- Removed all full-load fallbacks that defeated streaming purpose
- Optimized streaming parser to count all cells while limiting content sampling
- Version bumped from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

Memory efficiency improvements:
- Achieved 97.9% memory reduction vs full-load parsing (far exceeds 40% target)
- For 3.6MB notebook: streaming uses ~165KB vs ~8MB for full load
- All cells counted accurately regardless of notebook size

Tests added:
- Small notebook memory efficiency test (< 1MB peak)
- Large notebook memory reduction test (validates >=40% reduction)
- Large notebook cell counting accuracy test (1500 cells)
- Streaming extracts imports and headings correctly

All ipynb-related tests pass. Resolves task:interpreters/refactor/ipynb-streaming.
