Summary

This PR implements comprehensive improvements to the reproschema-protocol-cookiecutter based on analysis from multiple specialized agents (schema-architect, devops-automation-engineer, quality-assurance-engineer).

Major Changes

1. Schema Consistency & Structure

  • Fixed version inconsistencies - all schemas now use stable 1.0.0 version
  • Updated context paths from /contexts/generic to /contexts/reproschema for v1.0.0
  • Removed hardcoded activity references from protocol template
  • Removed non-existent Activity4 reference
  • Standardized all schema filenames to lowercase convention (e.g., activity2_schema)
  • Fixed @id values to match lowercase filenames
  • Normalized prefLabel format to always use object notation with language tags

2. Error Handling & Reliability

  • Added comprehensive logging infrastructure
  • Implemented retry logic for GitHub API calls with exponential backoff
  • Added caching mechanism for UI checksum (1-hour validity)
  • Improved error messages with specific exception types
  • Made pre-commit installation optional with informative messages
  • Added cleanup for temporary files
  • Return proper exit codes on failure

3. Testing Infrastructure

  • Created comprehensive CI/CD pipeline testing across multiple OS and Python versions
  • Added local test script for development verification
  • Tests validate JSON schemas, activity counts, and path references
  • Ensures no hardcoded activities remain
  • All generated schemas now pass reproschema validate command

4. Project Infrastructure

  • Added requirements.txt with pinned dependencies
  • Created comprehensive pyproject.toml with project metadata
  • Configured pre-commit hooks for code quality
  • Added PR template for consistent contributions
  • Updated .gitignore for internal docs and temp files
  • Enhanced update_schema_version.py to handle version-specific context paths

5. Development Experience

  • Created internal documentation for development guidelines
  • Added helper script for micromamba environment usage
  • Fixed docstring syntax errors
  • Improved post-generation hook with better activity path handling

Test Results

All tests pass successfully:

  • ✅ Cookiecutter generates valid protocols with 1, 3, and 5 activities
  • ✅ All JSON schemas are valid
  • ✅ No path mismatches or broken references
  • ✅ Consistent schema versions throughout
  • ✅ All schemas validate with reproschema validate

Validation Example

$ reproschema validate protocol_schema
Validation successful
2025-07-27 13:01:10,357 [    INFO] protocol_schema conforms.

$ reproschema validate activities/activity1/activity1_schema
Validation successful
2025-07-27 13:01:13,591 [    INFO] activities/activity1/activity1_schema conforms.

Breaking Changes

None - all changes are backward compatible.

Next Steps

Future improvements to consider in follow-up PRs:

  • Enhanced documentation with GitHub Pages
  • Unit tests for hooks
  • Schema validation in post-generation process
  • Docker support
  • Cross-platform compatibility improvements

Testing Instructions

  1. Clone this branch
  2. Run ./run_in_env.sh python test_cookiecutter.py (or use micromamba directly)
  3. Generate a protocol: cookiecutter . --no-input
  4. Validate schemas: reproschema validate <schema_path>

…ties

- Update Activity1 schema from 1.0.0-rc4 to 1.0.0
- Remove all hardcoded activity references from protocol template
- Enhance update_schema_version.py with better error handling and array context support
- Remove non-existent Activity4 reference

This allows the post-generation hook to dynamically populate activities based on user selection.
- Add logging infrastructure for better debugging
- Implement retry logic for GitHub API calls with exponential backoff
- Add caching mechanism for UI checksum (1-hour validity)
- Improve error messages with specific exception types
- Make pre-commit installation optional with informative messages
- Add cleanup for temporary files
- Return proper exit codes on failure
- Create requirements.txt with pinned dependencies
- Add comprehensive pyproject.toml with project metadata
- Configure pre-commit hooks for code quality
- Include development, validation, and documentation dependencies
- Set up linting rules (ruff, black, mypy, bandit)
- Add local hook for automatic schema version updates
- Add comprehensive PR template with checklist
- Include sections for description, testing, and validation
- Ensure schema version consistency checks
- Add reminders for documentation updates
- Add internal/ folder to prevent committing internal documentation
- Add temporary files used during cookiecutter generation
- Include .ui_checksum_cache and selected_activities.json
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for testing cookiecutter generation
- Test across multiple OS (Ubuntu, Windows, macOS) and Python versions
- Validate generated project structure and JSON schemas
- Add workflow for testing generated projects functionality
- Create local test script for development verification
- Ensure proper activity count and no hardcoded references
- Add schema version consistency checks
- Fix escaped quotes in post_gen_project.py docstring
- Add run_in_env.sh helper script to gitignore
- Helper script provides easy access to micromamba environment
- Rename all activity schema files to lowercase (e.g., activity2_schema)
- Update post_gen_project.py to use lowercase filenames consistently
- Normalize prefLabel to always use object notation with language tags
- Fix path references to match actual filenames

This ensures consistency with ReproSchema naming conventions and prevents
path mismatch errors when loading activities.
- Update context path from /contexts/generic to /contexts/reproschema for v1.0.0
- Fix @id values to match lowercase filenames (e.g., activity2_schema)
- Update schema version script to handle different context paths by version
- All schemas now validate successfully with reproschema validate command

This ensures compatibility with ReproSchema 1.0.0 specification and proper validation.
