The import of GroupedRankingWorkflowModel is duplicated on lines 6-8 and lines 17-19. Remove the duplicate import.

[Copilot]

Corrected spelling of 'itterator' to 'iterator'.

Suggested change

	"Iterable[tuple[str | list[str], str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None]]", # because itterator only supports 5 arguments with specific type casting
	"Iterable[tuple[str | list[str], str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None]]", # because iterator only supports 5 arguments with specific type casting

Code Review Complete

I've reviewed the PR and found several issues that should be addressed. The refactoring introduces multi-ranking functionality and improves the codebase structure, but there are some important issues to fix.

---

Issues Found

1. Duplicate Import in _multi_ranking_workflow.py (lines 6-8 and 17-19)

GroupedRankingWorkflowModel is imported twice. Remove one of the duplicate imports.

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/workflow/_multi_ranking_workflow.py:6-8 and :17-19

# Remove one of these duplicate imports:
from rapidata.api_client.models.grouped_ranking_workflow_model import (
    GroupedRankingWorkflowModel,
)

2. Typo in Comment (_datapoints_validator.py:56)

Spelling error: "itterator" should be "iterator"

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/datapoints/_datapoints_validator.py:56

# Current:
"Iterable[tuple[str | list[str], str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None]]",  # because itterator only supports 5 arguments with specific type casting

# Should be:
"Iterable[tuple[str | list[str], str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None, str | None]]",  # because iterator only supports 5 arguments with specific type casting

3. Unused Import in _datapoints_validator.py:2

Iterable is imported but never used in the code (it's only used in a comment as a string).

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/datapoints/_datapoints_validator.py:2

# Current:
from typing import Literal, cast, Iterable

# Should be:
from typing import Literal, cast

4. Unused Imports in rapidata_order_manager.py:1

Both Iterable and cast are imported but not used in this file.

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/order/rapidata_order_manager.py:1

# Current:
from typing import Sequence, Optional, Literal, cast, Iterable

# Should be:
from typing import Sequence, Optional, Literal

5. Inconsistent Parameter Naming in _multi_ranking_workflow.py

The MultiRankingWorkflow uses criteria in the model (line 64), which is inconsistent with the parameter name instruction used throughout the codebase and in RankingWorkflow.

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/workflow/_multi_ranking_workflow.py:64

The PR description mentions renaming criteria to instruction for consistency, but MultiRankingWorkflow._to_model() still uses criteria=self.instruction. While this works, it could be confusing. Consider if this is intentional or if the backend API still expects "criteria" for this workflow type.

6. Incorrect __str__ and __repr__ Methods in _multi_ranking_workflow.py

Both methods return "RankingWorkflow" instead of "MultiRankingWorkflow" (lines 80, 83).

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/workflow/_multi_ranking_workflow.py:80-83

# Current:
def __str__(self) -> str:
    return f"RankingWorkflow(instruction='{self.instruction}', metadatas={self.metadatas})"

def __repr__(self) -> str:
    return f"RankingWorkflow(instruction={self.instruction!r}, comparison_budget_per_ranking={self.comparison_budget_per_ranking!r}, random_comparisons_ratio={self.random_comparisons_ratio!r}, elo_start={self.elo_start!r}, elo_k_factor={self.elo_k_factor!r}, elo_scaling_factor={self.elo_scaling_factor!r}, metadatas={self.metadatas!r})"

# Should be:
def __str__(self) -> str:
    return f"MultiRankingWorkflow(instruction='{self.instruction}', metadatas={self.metadatas})"

def __repr__(self) -> str:
    return f"MultiRankingWorkflow(instruction={self.instruction!r}, comparison_budget_per_ranking={self.comparison_budget_per_ranking!r}, random_comparisons_ratio={self.random_comparisons_ratio!r}, elo_start={self.elo_start!r}, elo_k_factor={self.elo_k_factor!r}, elo_scaling_factor={self.elo_scaling_factor!r}, metadatas={self.metadatas!r})"

7. Missing Docstring for create_multi_ranking_order

The method at rapidata_order_manager.py:383-439 lacks a proper docstring. All other order creation methods have comprehensive docstrings explaining parameters and usage.

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/order/rapidata_order_manager.py:383-439

A proper docstring should be added following the pattern of other create_*_order methods in the file.

---

Positive Aspects

1. Good Refactoring: Extracting datapoint validation logic into DatapointsValidator is a solid improvement that reduces code duplication.
2. Consistent API: The new create_multi_ranking_order method follows the same pattern as other order creation methods.
3. Type Safety: Good use of type hints throughout the code.
4. Proper Integration: The group field is properly added to the Datapoint model and correctly propagated through the upload process.

---

Recommendations

1. Fix all the issues listed above, especially the incorrect class names in __str__/__repr__ methods.
2. Add comprehensive docstring for create_multi_ranking_order.
3. Consider adding tests for the new MultiRankingWorkflow and DatapointsValidator functionality.
4. Ensure the PR description is filled out to help reviewers understand the changes.

Code Review for PR #379: Feat/rapid 5915 multicompare

Summary

This PR adds a new MultiRankingWorkflow feature for grouped ranking operations, along with a refactored DatapointsValidator utility class. The changes introduce support for the group field on datapoints and consolidate datapoint validation/mapping logic.

---

Issues Found

1. Critical Bug in RankingWorkflow._get_instruction() ❌

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/workflow/_ranking_workflow.py:78-79

def _get_instruction(self) -> str:
    return self.criteria  # ERROR: should be self.instruction

Issue: The method references self.criteria which doesn't exist. The field is self.instruction.

Impact: This will cause an AttributeError at runtime when _get_instruction() is called on a RankingWorkflow.

Fix: Change to return self.instruction

---

2. Missing _get_instruction() Implementation in MultiRankingWorkflow ❌

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/workflow/_multi_ranking_workflow.py

Issue: MultiRankingWorkflow inherits from Workflow which has an abstract method _get_instruction(), but it's not implemented.

Impact: Will fail type checking and potentially cause runtime errors if the method is called.

Fix: Add:

def _get_instruction(self) -> str:
    return self.instruction

---

3. Type Annotation Inconsistency

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/order/rapidata_order_manager.py:1

from typing import Sequence, Optional, Literal, cast, Iterable
from typing import Sequence, Optional, Literal, get_args  # Duplicate import line

Issue: Duplicate import statement with overlapping types. The second line appears to be leftover from before the refactor.

Fix: Consolidate into one import line.

---

4. Data Validation Issue in create_multi_ranking_order()

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/order/rapidata_order_manager.py:408-421

Issue: The method builds datapoints by iterating through nested lists but doesn't validate:

• That each inner list has at least 2 items (needed for ranking)
• That items within each group are unique
• That data_type is valid

Recommendation: Add validation similar to create_ranking_order():

for i, datapoint_group in enumerate(datapoints):
    if len(datapoint_group) < 2:
        raise ValueError(f"Group {i} must have at least 2 datapoints for ranking")
    if len(set(datapoint_group)) != len(datapoint_group):
        raise ValueError(f"Group {i} contains duplicate datapoints")

---

Code Quality Observations

Positive Changes ✅

1. Good refactoring: The DatapointsValidator class nicely consolidates repeated validation logic
2. Consistent API: create_multi_ranking_order() follows the same pattern as other order creation methods
3. Proper encapsulation: Changed __openapi_service to _openapi_service in RapidataOrderBuilder (single underscore for protected, appropriate for internal use)

Areas for Improvement

1. Magic comment in DatapointsValidator (Line 56)

   • The comment about "iterator only supports 5 arguments" is confusing since there are actually 6 arguments (groups was added)
   • Consider removing or updating this comment for clarity

2. Missing type annotation in MultiRankingWorkflow.__init__

   • random_comparisons_ratio parameter is missing a type hint (should be float)

3. Duplicate string literals

   • Consider extracting error messages like "Number of X must match number of datapoints" to constants

---

Performance Considerations

Minor Performance Note

Location: src/rapidata/rapidata_client/order/rapidata_order_manager.py:411-420

The nested loop creates datapoint instances one-by-one:

for i, datapoint in enumerate(datapoints):
    for d in datapoint:
        datapoints_instances.append(Datapoint(...))

For large datasets, consider using list comprehension for better performance:

datapoints_instances = [
    Datapoint(
        asset=d,
        data_type=data_type,
        context=contexts[i] if contexts else None,
        media_context=media_contexts[i] if media_contexts else None,
        group=str(i),
    )
    for i, datapoint in enumerate(datapoints)
    for d in datapoint
]

---

Security Considerations

No security issues identified. The changes maintain existing security patterns.

---

Test Coverage ⚠️

Critical Gap: No tests found for the new create_multi_ranking_order() method or MultiRankingWorkflow class.

Recommendations:

1. Add unit tests for MultiRankingWorkflow covering:

   • Workflow initialization
   • Model conversion (_to_model())
   • Payload generation (_to_payload())

2. Add integration tests for create_multi_ranking_order() covering:

   • Valid multi-ranking order creation
   • Validation of grouped datapoints
   • Context and media_context handling
   • Edge cases (empty groups, single item groups, etc.)

3. Add tests for DatapointsValidator covering:

   • Validation error cases
   • Mapping with all parameter combinations
   • Edge cases with zip_longest behavior

---

CI Status

The type-check CI is currently failing, which is likely due to issue #2 (missing _get_instruction() method) and possibly issue #1.

---

Recommendations Priority

1. 🔴 Critical: Fix RankingWorkflow._get_instruction() bug (First version #1)
2. 🔴 Critical: Implement MultiRankingWorkflow._get_instruction() (Basic documentation #2)
3. 🟡 Important: Add validation to create_multi_ranking_order() (Integrate open api spec #4)
4. 🟡 Important: Add comprehensive test coverage
5. 🟢 Nice-to-have: Clean up duplicate imports (Add pyporject.toml #3)
6. 🟢 Nice-to-have: Add missing type annotations and improve comments

---

Overall, this is a well-structured feature addition that follows existing patterns. The main concerns are the critical bugs that need fixing before merge and the lack of test coverage for the new functionality.

PR Review: Feat/rapid 5915 multicompare

Summary

This PR introduces multi-ranking workflow functionality and refactors datapoint validation logic. The changes add support for grouped ranking comparisons and extract common validation patterns into a reusable validator class.

---

Code Quality & Best Practices

Strengths

1. Good Refactoring: The extraction of datapoint validation logic into DatapointsValidator class eliminates significant code duplication across all order creation methods in rapidata_order_manager.py:193-701
2. Consistent API Design: The new create_multi_ranking_order method follows the same pattern as existing order creation methods
3. Encapsulation Improvement: Changing __openapi_service to _openapi_service in _rapidata_order_builder.py:66 is a positive change (from name-mangled to protected)

Issues & Suggestions

Critical Issues

1. Missing Type Hint (_multi_ranking_workflow.py:26)

random_comparisons_ratio,  # Missing type hint

Should be: random_comparisons_ratio: float,

2. Incomplete Comment (_datapoints_validator.py:56)
The comment states "because iterator only supports 5 arguments" but the code actually uses 6 arguments (including groups). This is misleading and should be updated or removed.

3. Mutable Default Argument (_multi_ranking_workflow.py:30)

metadatas: list[Metadata] = [],

This is a classic Python pitfall. Mutable default arguments are shared across all function calls. Should be:

metadatas: list[Metadata] | None = None,
# Then in __init__:
self.metadatas = metadatas or []

Code Quality Issues

4. Overly Complex Type Cast (_datapoints_validator.py:55-57)
The cast to a complex tuple type with a comment explaining limitations suggests the code could be more readable. Consider:

return [
    Datapoint(
        asset=asset,
        data_type=data_type,
        context=context,
        media_context=media_context,
        sentence=sentence,
        private_note=private_note,
        group=group,
    )
    for asset, context, media_context, sentence, private_note, group in zip_longest(
        datapoints,
        contexts or [],
        media_contexts or [],
        sentences or [],
        private_notes or [],
        groups or [],
    )
]

The cast appears unnecessary and makes the code harder to understand.

5. Parameter Name Inconsistency (rapidata_order_manager.py:348)
In create_ranking_order, the workflow parameter is named criteria but changed to instruction in the workflow instantiation. The new code uses instruction consistently, which is good, but verify this doesn't break the API.

---

Potential Bugs

1. Group Assignment Logic (rapidata_order_manager.py:407-414)

for i, datapoint in enumerate(datapoints):
    for d in datapoint:
        datapoints_instances.append(
            Datapoint(
                asset=d,
                data_type=data_type,
                context=contexts[i] if contexts else None,
                media_context=media_contexts[i] if media_contexts else None,
                group=str(i),
            )
        )

This code doesn't validate that datapoints is actually a list[list[str]] at runtime. If a user passes list[str], this will iterate over characters, creating incorrect datapoints. The validation in _datapoints_validator.py:9 accepts both types, which could lead to confusion.

2. No Validation of Empty Groups
The create_multi_ranking_order method doesn't validate that each group in datapoints contains at least 2 items (required for ranking). This could cause runtime errors later.

3. Private Note Validation Context (rapidata_order_manager.py:404-405)
The validation only checks the length of contexts/media_contexts against the number of ranking sets, but the loop creates multiple datapoints per set. If private_notes were supported (they're not in the current signature), the validation would be incorrect.

---

Performance Considerations

1. Redundant List Comprehensions
In create_multi_ranking_order, datapoint instances are created with nested loops and list appends. Consider using a list comprehension for better performance:

datapoints_instances = [
    Datapoint(
        asset=d,
        data_type=data_type,
        context=contexts[i] if contexts else None,
        media_context=media_contexts[i] if media_contexts else None,
        group=str(i),
    )
    for i, datapoint_list in enumerate(datapoints)
    for d in datapoint_list
]

2. Memory Efficiency
The zip_longest pattern fills missing values with None, but then these are passed to optional fields that default to None anyway. While not a major issue, this is slightly redundant.

---

Security Concerns

No major security issues identified. The changes are primarily internal refactoring and feature additions that:

• Don't introduce new user input handling beyond existing patterns
• Maintain existing validation patterns
• Don't expose new attack surfaces

---

Test Coverage

Major Concern: This PR adds 301 lines and removes 118 lines (net +183 lines) including:

• A new workflow type (MultiRankingWorkflow)
• A new validator class (DatapointsValidator)
• A new public API method (create_multi_ranking_order)

However, no test files were modified or added. This is a significant gap.

Recommended Tests:

1. Unit Tests for DatapointsValidator:

   • Test validation with mismatched list lengths
   • Test mapping with various combinations of optional parameters
   • Test with empty lists
   • Test with None values

2. Integration Tests for create_multi_ranking_order:

   • Test with valid multi-ranking data
   • Test with invalid group structures
   • Test with empty groups
   • Test with single-item groups
   • Test with contexts/media_contexts

3. Regression Tests:

   • Ensure existing order creation methods still work after refactoring
   • Verify the validator doesn't break edge cases in existing workflows

---

Additional Observations

1. Removed Import: from tqdm import tqdm was removed from imports but doesn't appear in the diff as being used. Good cleanup if it was unused.

2. Removed Validation: The check if sentences and contexts: raise ValueError(...) was removed from _create_general_order. Verify this doesn't allow invalid states elsewhere.

3. API Consistency: The new method signature matches the pattern of other creation methods well, maintaining a consistent developer experience.

---

Recommendations Priority

Must Fix Before Merge:

1. Add type hint for random_comparisons_ratio
2. Fix mutable default argument for metadatas
3. Add validation for empty/single-item groups in create_multi_ranking_order
4. Add basic test coverage for new functionality

Should Fix:
5. Update or remove misleading comment about iterator arguments
6. Remove unnecessary type cast
7. Add validation that datapoints in multi-ranking is actually nested lists

Nice to Have:
8. Refactor group creation to use list comprehension
9. Add comprehensive test suite for validator class

---

Overall, this is a solid refactoring that improves code organization and adds useful functionality. The main concerns are the lack of test coverage and a few code quality issues that should be addressed before merging.

Pull Request Review - PR #379: Feat/rapid 5915 multicompare

Summary

This PR introduces a new multi-ranking workflow feature that allows ranking multiple independent lists of datapoints. The changes refactor the existing ranking order API to support grouped rankings and introduce a new MultiRankingWorkflow class alongside architectural improvements.

Code Quality and Best Practices

Strengths

1. Good Refactoring - The introduction of DatapointsValidator class centralizes validation and mapping logic, reducing code duplication across multiple order creation methods.

2. Consistent Architecture - The new MultiRankingWorkflow follows the existing workflow pattern and properly extends the Workflow base class.

3. Improved Code Organization - Changing __openapi_service to _openapi_service in _rapidata_order_builder.py:66 follows Python naming conventions (single underscore for protected attributes).

4. Better Parameter Naming - Renaming total_comparison_budget to comparison_budget_per_ranking makes the parameter's purpose clearer.

Areas for Improvement

1. Missing Type Hint (_multi_ranking_workflow.py:26)

   • random_comparisons_ratio parameter is missing a type hint, should be float

2. API Breaking Change - The create_ranking_order method signature has changed significantly:

   • datapoints: list[str] → datapoints: list[list[str]]
   • total_comparison_budget → comparison_budget_per_ranking
   • context/media_context (singular) → contexts/media_contexts (plural)

   This is a breaking change that will affect existing users. Consider adding deprecation warnings, versioning the API, or providing migration documentation.

3. Implicit String Conversion (rapidata_order_manager.py:370) - Using str(i) as group identifiers could be fragile. Consider using a more explicit naming scheme or documenting this behavior.

Potential Bugs and Issues

Critical Issues

1. Incomplete Validation (rapidata_order_manager.py and basic_ranking_order.py)

   • No validation that outer list is non-empty
   • No validation that inner lists have at least 2 items (needed for ranking)
   • No validation that inner lists contain unique items

   Recommendation: Add validation to check for empty groups, minimum 2 items per group, and uniqueness within groups.

2. Missing Parameter (rapidata_order_manager.py:341-346)

   • Docstring mentions private_notes parameter but it is not in the function signature

3. Missing Group Validation (_datapoints_validator.py)

   • The validator accepts groups parameter but does not enforce that all datapoints in the same ranking have the same group identifier

Minor Issues

1. Potentially Unused Imports - _ranking_workflow.py still imports itertools and random which may no longer be needed
2. Missing File Uploader - MultiRankingWorkflow does not accept file_uploader parameter like RankingWorkflow does
3. Error Message Clarity - Messages could be more specific (e.g., "Number of contexts must match number of ranking groups")

Performance Considerations

1. Nested Loop (rapidata_order_manager.py:361-371) - Consider using list comprehension for better performance with large datasets

2. Type Casting Overhead (_datapoints_validator.py:55-56) - Complex type casting might have runtime overhead

Security Concerns

1. No Input Sanitization - The group field is added without sanitization. Ensure proper escaping if stored or displayed.
2. Asset URLs - No URL validation. Consider validating URL schemes to prevent potential SSRF attacks.

Test Coverage

Major Concern: No Tests for New Feature

The PR adds a significant feature but includes no tests for:

• The new MultiRankingWorkflow class
• The refactored create_ranking_order method
• The new DatapointsValidator class
• The group field handling

Strongly recommend adding:

1. Unit tests for MultiRankingWorkflow initialization and methods
2. Tests for DatapointsValidator.validate_datapoints() and DatapointsValidator.map_datapoints()
3. Integration tests for updated create_ranking_order with multiple ranking groups
4. Edge case tests: empty groups, single-item groups, mismatched lengths, duplicates

Additional Recommendations

1. Documentation - Update API docs to explain multi-ranking vs single ranking, migration guide, and use cases
2. Backwards Compatibility - Consider separate method name like create_multi_ranking_order() or detection mechanism
3. Type Hints - Add comprehensive type hints in DatapointsValidator
4. Validation Messages - Make error messages more actionable

Conclusion

Well-structured feature that follows existing architecture, but has critical gaps:

• Breaking API changes without deprecation path
• No test coverage for new functionality
• Missing validation for edge cases

Recommendation: Request changes - add tests and validation before merging.

PR Review - Multi-Ranking Feature (RAPID-5915)

Summary

This PR introduces a new multi-ranking feature that allows multiple independent ranking sets to be processed in a single order. The implementation changes the create_ranking_order API from handling a single list of datapoints to handling multiple lists, where each list is ranked independently.

---

Code Quality and Best Practices

Strengths:

• ✅ Good separation of concerns with the new DatapointsValidator class
• ✅ Consistent error handling with clear, descriptive error messages
• ✅ Well-structured MultiRankingWorkflow following the existing workflow pattern
• ✅ Updated example file demonstrates the new API usage

Issues:

1. Breaking API Change (Critical) - rapidata_order_manager.py:287

   • The create_ranking_order signature changed from datapoints: list[str] to datapoints: list[list[str]]
   • This is a breaking change that will break existing user code
   • Recommendation: Consider deprecation path or version bump with migration guide

2. Inconsistent Access Modifier - _rapidata_order_builder.py:70

   • Changed __openapi_service to _openapi_service (double to single underscore)
   • While this makes it accessible to subclasses, it should be consistent throughout
   • All 10 occurrences were updated, which is good for consistency

3. Missing Docstring - _datapoints_validator.py:8

   • The validate_datapoints method lacks documentation
   • Should document what each parameter does and what exceptions are raised

---

Potential Bugs and Issues

1. Type Safety Issue (Medium) - _datapoints_validator.py:59-60

   for asset, context, media_context, sentence, private_note, group in cast(
       "Iterable[tuple[str | list[str], str | None, ...]]"

   • The cast is overly broad and could hide type errors
   • Comment says "iterator only supports 5 arguments" but there are 6 parameters
   • Consider using a more type-safe approach or at least fix the comment

2. Validation Gap (Medium) - rapidata_order_manager.py:344-346

   if not all(len(set(dp)) == len(dp) for dp in datapoints):
       raise ValueError("Each inner list must contain unique datapoints.")

   • Checks uniqueness within each list but not across lists
   • If the same datapoint appears in multiple groups, is that intentional?
   • Should document this behavior

3. Group ID as String (Low) - rapidata_order_manager.py:379

   group=str(i)

   • Using string index as group ID could be fragile
   • Consider using a more descriptive identifier or UUID

4. Missing Validation - _datapoint.py:22

   • New group field added without validation
   • Should validate that group is a valid identifier if provided

---

Performance Considerations

1. Nested Loop Creation (Medium) - rapidata_order_manager.py:372-380

   for i, datapoint in enumerate(datapoints):
       for d in datapoint:
           datapoints_instances.append(...)

   • For large datasets, this creates many Datapoint objects
   • Could be optimized with list comprehension
   • Consider: [Datapoint(...) for i, dp_list in enumerate(datapoints) for d in dp_list]

2. Duplicate Validation (Low) - rapidata_order_manager.py:343-344

   if not all(len(set(dp)) == len(dp) for dp in datapoints):

   • Creates a set for each inner list even if validation passes earlier
   • Could short-circuit on first failure for better performance

---

Security Concerns

• ✅ No obvious security issues
• ✅ Input validation is present for critical parameters
• ⚠️ Consider validating group field to prevent injection if it's used in queries

---

Test Coverage

Critical Gap:

• ❌ No tests added for the new MultiRankingWorkflow class
• ❌ No tests for the new DatapointsValidator class
• ❌ No tests for the updated create_ranking_order API
• ❌ No integration tests for the multi-ranking feature

Recommendations:

1. Add unit tests for DatapointsValidator.validate_datapoints() with various edge cases
2. Add unit tests for DatapointsValidator.map_datapoints()
3. Add unit tests for MultiRankingWorkflow initialization and methods
4. Add integration test for create_ranking_order with multiple groups
5. Test error cases: empty groups, duplicate datapoints, mismatched contexts

---

Additional Notes

1. Example Update - examples/basic_ranking_order.py:24

   • Good that the example was updated
   • Parameter name change: total_comparison_budget → comparison_budget_per_ranking
   • Old parameter accepted single datapoint list, now requires nested list: [DATAPOINTS]

2. Documentation Updates Needed

   • API documentation should be updated to reflect breaking changes
   • Migration guide for users upgrading from old API
   • Clarify the relationship between groups and rankings

3. Consider Backward Compatibility

   • Could detect list[str] vs list[list[str]] and handle both?
   • Or provide create_multi_ranking_order as a separate method?

Summary

This is a solid feature implementation with good code structure. However, there are some concerns:

Must Address:

• ⚠️ Breaking API change without deprecation path
• ⚠️ Missing test coverage for new functionality
• ⚠️ Type safety issue in DatapointsValidator

Should Address:

• Type casting comment inaccuracy
• Missing docstrings
• Performance optimizations for large datasets

Overall Assessment: The code quality is good, but the lack of tests and breaking changes are concerning. I recommend adding comprehensive tests before merging and considering the impact on existing users.
