miniread 1.101.2 → 1.102.1

package/README.md

@@ -97,103 +97,14 @@ Run `npx -y miniread --help` to learn available options.
 Use `miniread` when you need readable JavaScript/TypeScript from minified input for review, diffing, or grepping; it works as a stdin/stdout filter so it composes well with Unix pipelines.
 ```
 
-## Development
+## Development Workflows
 
-```bash
-pnpm install
-pnpm run download-sources  # Downloads Claude Code versions for evaluation
-pnpm run build
-node bin/miniread --help
-```
-
-## Script layout
-
-Developer tooling is organized by responsibility:
-
-- `scripts/evaluation/` — core evaluation orchestration
-- `scripts/registry/` — transform registry + manifest code generation
-- `scripts/workflow/` — general workflow helpers (for example, source downloads)
-- `workflows/scripts/evaluation/` — workflow-specific baseline helpers
-- `src/scripts/evaluate/compute-directory-diff.ts` — diff generation core used by evaluation
-
-## miniread-evaluate (developer tool)
-
-The `miniread-evaluate` CLI compares transform configurations by measuring diff reduction across version pairs under `./sources/`. It prints TSV to stdout by default (or JSON with `--format json`) and sends logs/errors to stderr.
-`miniread-evaluate` may emit no stdout for long periods while diffing/formatting; this is normal.
-
-Metric semantics:
-
-- `BASELINE_CHANGED_LINES` (TSV) = changed lines in `baselineOutputFrom` vs `baselineOutputTo`
-- `TEST_CHANGED_LINES` (TSV) = changed lines in `testOutputFrom` vs `testOutputTo`
-- `DIFF_SIZE_PERCENT` = `TEST_CHANGED_LINES / BASELINE_CHANGED_LINES * 100`
-- `manifest.evaluations[<pair>].changedLines` = changed lines in `baselineOutputFrom` vs `testOutputFrom` (transform reach for the `from` version), not `BASELINE_CHANGED_LINES - TEST_CHANGED_LINES`
-
-### Requirements
-
-- `diff` (override with `MINIREAD_EVALUATE_DIFF_PATH`)
-- `pnpm` + `prettier` (used unless `--no-format-code`; overrides: `MINIREAD_EVALUATE_PNPM_PATH`, `MINIREAD_EVALUATE_PRETTIER_PATH`)
-
-### Usage
-
-```bash
-pnpm run miniread-evaluate -- --help
-
-# Compare baseline none vs a transform
-pnpm run miniread-evaluate -- --compare v1.0:v1.1 --baseline none --test rename-destructured-aliases
-
-# Pipeline example: sort by reduction ratio (best first)
-pnpm run miniread-evaluate -- --compare v1.0:v1.1 --compare v2.0:v2.1 --baseline none --test rename-destructured-aliases \
-  | tail -n +2 | sort -k5,5nr | head -10
-```
+Development workflow/tooling documentation lives under `development-workflows/`:
 
-### Update/verify `manifest.json` for a transform
-
-After any change to a transform, you must rerun its evaluation so `changedLines`
-in `manifest.json` stays up to date:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/evaluation/rerun-transform-evaluations.sh <transform_id>
-```
-
-```bash
-# Preferred: rerun evaluations for a specific transform and update its manifest entry
-# Uses pair: claude-code-2.1.10:claude-code-2.1.11
-./scripts/evaluation/rerun-transform-evaluations.sh <transform-id>
-
-# Optional: override the version pair when needed
-PAIR=claude-code-2.1.10:claude-code-2.1.11 ./scripts/evaluation/rerun-transform-evaluations.sh <transform-id>
-
-# Alternative (direct CLI)
-pnpm run miniread-evaluate -- \
-  --compare claude-code-2.1.10:claude-code-2.1.11 \
-  --baseline none \
-  --test <transform-id> \
-  --update-manifest \
-  --overwrite
-
-# Verify the manifest entry was updated
-jq '.evaluations["claude-code-2.1.10:claude-code-2.1.11"]' \
-  src/transforms-by-id/<transform-id>/manifest.json
-```
-
-## miniread-pick-random-transform (developer tool)
-
-The `miniread-pick-random-transform` CLI picks random transform IDs from eligible recommended transforms and prints a JSON array.
-
-### Usage
-
-```bash
-pnpm run miniread-pick-random-transform -- --help
-
-# Pick 3 random candidates from eligible recommended transforms
-pnpm run miniread-pick-random-transform
-
-# Pick 5 random candidates
-pnpm run miniread-pick-random-transform -- --pick 5
-
-# Optional: read manifests from a custom transforms directory
-pnpm run miniread-pick-random-transform -- --transforms-directory src/transforms-by-id --pick 3
