Review Student PRs

Review, validate, and intelligently merge student exercise PRs submitted during TP sessions.

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Arguments

• repo-url: GitHub repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/jsboigeECE/2026-ECE-Ing4-Fin-IA-Projet1-Gr01)
• --class <class-id>: Class identifier (e.g., Gr01, Gr02, Gr03)
• --timeslot <HH:MM-HH:MM>: Authorized submission window (e.g., 08:00-12:00). PRs outside this window are flagged
• --dry-run: Review only, no merge or commit

Process

Phase 1 - Discovery & Identification

1. Fetch open PRs from the target repo using gh pr list
2. Filter by timeslot - Only PRs created within the authorized submission window
3. Identify students:
   • Parse PR title/body for student name, group, notebook claimed
   • Cross-reference GitHub username with submission account
   • If available, match against inscription spreadsheet (G:\Mon Drive\MyIA\Formation\ECE\2026\)
4. Flag anomalies: PRs outside timeslot, duplicate claims on same notebook, unknown accounts

Phase 2 - Code Review

For each valid PR:

1. Fetch PR diff using gh pr diff <number>
2. Identify modified notebooks and changed cells
3. Validate exercise completion:
   • Check that exercise cells have been filled (not empty or placeholder)
   • Verify code is syntactically correct
   • Check markdown cells for explanations if required
4. Execution validation (MANDATORY - do not skip):
   • Checkout PR branch locally
   • Execute the modified exercise cell(s) and all prerequisite cells
   • For Python notebooks: python scripts/notebook_tools/notebook_helpers.py execute <path> --verbose
   • For .NET notebooks: use MCP cell-by-cell execution
   • Record execution results (pass/fail, output, errors)
   • If cell fails to execute: mark as PARTIAL, note the error
   • If error is environment-only (missing package on student machine but code is correct): accept with note
   • If error is code logic: mark as INVALID
5. Detect copy-paste / uncommenting:
   • Compare student's code against the "Exemple guide" in the same notebook
   • If the exercise cell was solved by uncommenting provided solution code: flag as TRIVIAL
   • If this was due to solutions being provided in comments (our error): accept but note it
   • If the student wrote original code different from any example: mark as ORIGINAL
6. Quality assessment (per exercise):
   • Code correctness (executes without error)
   • Code originality (ORIGINAL vs TRIVIAL vs COPY)
   • Code quality (reasonable approach, variable naming, structure)
   • Explanation quality (if markdown present)
   • Score: VALID / PARTIAL / INVALID

Phase 3 - Report Generation

Generate a correction report in reports/corrections/ (gitignored):

reports/corrections/YYYY-MM-DD_<class-id>_review.md

Report format:

# TP Review - <date> - <class-id>

## Summary
- PRs reviewed: N
- Valid exercises: N (+0.5 pts each)
- Partial: N (manual review needed)
- Invalid: N

## Per-Student Results

### <Student Name> (GitHub: @username)
- **PR**: #<number> - <title>
- **Notebook**: <notebook-name>
- **Timeslot**: <created-at> (VALID/LATE)
- **Exercises**:
  | Exercise | Status | Score | Notes |
  |----------|--------|-------|-------|
  | Ex 1     | VALID  | +0.5  | Clean implementation |
  | Ex 2     | PARTIAL| 0     | Missing explanation |
- **Total bonus**: +X.X points

Phase 4 - Intelligent Merge

For each VALID exercise (skip if --dry-run):

1. Transform exercise result into example:

   • The student's completed exercise cell becomes a new example cell
   • Rewrite the preceding markdown to frame it as "Example - " instead of "Exercise"
   • Add brief commentary on the approach used
   • Preserve the student's code as-is (it's their contribution)

2. Create replacement exercise:

   • Add a NEW exercise cell after the newly created example
   • The new exercise must be:
     • Different from the one just solved (not a trivial variant)
     • Not directly derivable from the example above
     • At a similar difficulty level
     • Related to the same topic/concept
   • Add appropriate markdown instructions for the new exercise

3. Curate redundancy:

   • If multiple students solved the same exercise across PRs:
     • Keep the most pedagogically valuable solution as example
     • Remove redundant examples that don't add new insight
     • Ensure the notebook flow remains coherent
   • If a notebook accumulates too many examples (>3 consecutive examples on same concept):
     • Keep the 2 most distinct/illustrative ones
     • Remove the others
     • Adjust markdown transitions

4. Commit changes:

   feat(ece): integrate student exercise <notebook> - <student> (+0.5 bonus)
   
   - Exercise result converted to example
   - New replacement exercise added
   - Reviewed and validated during TP <date>
   
   Co-Authored-By: <Student Name> <student-email-if-available>
   Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[e-mail]>
   

5. Push to main (after all PRs for the session are processed)

Phase 5 - Cleanup

1. Close merged PRs with a comment thanking the student and confirming bonus
2. Update the correction report with final merge status
3. Summary output to the user with:
   • Number of exercises validated
   • Bonus points attributed per student
   • Any issues requiring manual attention
   • List of notebooks updated with new exercises

Important Notes

• Timing: Run between classes (e.g., noon-2pm) so afternoon class gets fresh exercises
• Merge order: Process PRs in submission order (FIFO)
• Conflict resolution: If two PRs modify the same notebook, merge the first, rebase the second
• Security: Never execute untrusted code outside the notebook sandbox
• Backup: Create a local branch backup before merging: backup/pre-merge-<date>
• No force push: All merges are regular merges or fast-forwards
• Report confidentiality: Reports in reports/corrections/ are gitignored, never committed

Notebook Types

Series	Kernel	Execution Method
Probas	.NET C#	MCP cell-by-cell
GameTheory	Python (WSL)	papermill or notebook_helpers
ML	Mixed (.NET + Python)	Depends on notebook

Spreadsheet Reference

Student inscriptions and evaluations:

• G:\Mon Drive\MyIA\Formation\ECE\2026\ - CSV/XLSX files
• Match GitHub usernames to student names for bonus attribution
