Feature Capabilities#

User Story 1: Core Parallel Scanning ✅

  • All detector channels step together at each measurement point

  • 3x speedup vs. serial (N measurements vs. 3N)

  • Coordinated stepping with all channels active during collection

  • CSV output per channel with append-mode preservation

  • Audit logging for reproducibility

User Story 2: Configuration Validation ✅

  • Early detection of mismatched channel step counts

  • Clear error messages showing step count breakdown

  • Prevents invalid configurations from starting expensive scans

  • Reuses existing validate_threshold_ranges() validator

User Story 3: Error Recovery & Robustness ✅

  • Skip-and-continue strategy for hardware failures

  • All-or-nothing per step: if ANY channel fails, entire step skipped

  • Comprehensive error aggregation and tracking

  • Skipped steps recorded for analysis

  • Retry mechanism with configurable attempts

  • Continued operation despite partial failures

Test Results#

19 tests passing (100% pass rate)
├── Unit Tests (Validation): 4 tests
├── Unit Tests (Error Handling): 6 tests
├── Unit Tests (Stepping): 3 tests
├── Unit Tests (Result Files): 3 tests
└── Integration Tests: 3 tests

Code Quality:
✅ ruff format: 3 files reformatted
✅ Pre-commit hooks: 11 checks passing
✅ Docstrings: Complete and verified
✅ CLI help: Updated with parallel subcommand

Key Design Decisions#

  1. Sequential not Async: Kept implementation simple with sequential worker pattern. Serial communication is the bottleneck, not threading complexity (YAGNI principle).

  2. Validator Reuse: Integrated existing validate_threshold_ranges() rather than writing new validation. Configuration validation happens at both CLI and scan orchestrator levels.

  3. All-or-Nothing Steps: Failed steps skip entire step (all channels), not partial data. Maintains consistency and unambiguous results.

  4. Append-Mode CSV: Historical data preserved across multiple scan runs. Headers written only once, data appended.

  5. Error Aggregation: All errors collected in result, scan completes with partial success rather than failing fast.

Learnings#

  1. Specification-Driven Development: Clear spec upfront (500+ lines) enabled focused, efficient implementation with minimal rework.

  2. Task Breakdown: 44 explicit tasks with dependencies made parallel execution planning clear and progress tracking straightforward.

  3. Test Infrastructure: Comprehensive fixtures and conftest files reduced test boilerplate significantly.

  4. Validator Reuse: Discovered existing validator during specification phase - saved implementation time by building on foundation.

  5. Error Recovery Simplicity: Skip-and-continue with error aggregation simpler and more robust than granular failure handling.

Next Steps#

  • Code Review: Branch ready for review at 019-parallel-threshold-scan

  • Merge to Main: After approval, merge will complete this feature

  • Future Enhancements (out of scope):

    • True async/parallel execution if performance analysis shows benefit

    • Advanced retry strategies (exponential backoff, jitter)

    • Statistical failure analysis

    • Real-time progress monitoring

Summary#

Delivered production-ready parallel threshold scanning with three complete user stories, comprehensive testing (19 tests, 100% passing), full documentation, and robust error handling. Total of 3,825 lines of code, specification, tests, and documentation across 20 files in 10 commits.
