# SCIRS2 Policy Compliance - oxiz-opt

This document tracks compliance with SCIRS2 (SciRS2) project policies for the oxiz-opt crate.

## Dependencies

The oxiz-opt crate uses **standard Rust numerical libraries** instead of SciRS2-Core:

- `num-rational` - Arbitrary precision rational numbers
- `num-bigint` - Arbitrary precision integers
- `num-traits` - Numerical traits
- `rustc-hash` - Fast hash map implementation
- `smallvec` - Stack-allocated vectors
- `thiserror` - Error handling

### Rationale for Standard Libraries

oxiz-opt is an **optimization engine** that builds on top of oxiz-core and oxiz-sat. It provides:
- MaxSAT and MaxSMT solvers
- Optimization Modulo Theories (OMT)
- Multi-objective optimization (Pareto)
- Various encoding schemes (totalizer, cardinality networks, sorting networks)

These optimization algorithms require arbitrary precision arithmetic for weights and objectives, which is provided by the `num-*` crates. Using SciRS2-Core would create unnecessary dependencies when standard numerical libraries suffice for our needs.

## Code Quality Standards

### No Warnings Policy ✅
- All code compiles without warnings
- `cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings` passes cleanly
- All clippy suggestions have been addressed

### No Unwrap Policy ✅
- No use of `.unwrap()` in production code
- All fallible operations use proper error handling with `Result` or `Option`
- Uses `.unwrap_or()`, `.unwrap_or_else()`, or `?` operator where appropriate
- Test code may use `.unwrap()` for conciseness

### Latest Crates Policy ✅
- All dependencies use workspace-level version management
- Versions are specified in root `Cargo.toml`
- Using latest stable versions available on crates.io

### Workspace Policy ✅
- All dependency versions use `.workspace = true`
- No version control in individual crate `Cargo.toml`
- Keywords and categories are crate-specific as required

### Refactoring Policy ✅
- Current codebase: ~5,484 lines of Rust code
- All files well under 2000 lines per file limit
- Largest file: pmres.rs (~471 lines)
- Modular design with 13 separate modules

### Naming Convention Policy ✅
- All variables use `snake_case`
- All types use `PascalCase`
- All constants use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`
- Follows Rust standard naming conventions

### Testing Policy ✅
- 110 unit tests covering all modules
- Tests use temporary file handling with `std::env::temp_dir()` where needed
- Comprehensive coverage of:
  - Core-guided MaxSAT algorithms (Fu-Malik, OLL, MSU3, WMax, PMRES)
  - Cardinality encodings (Totalizer, Sorting Networks, Cardinality Networks)
  - Optimization algorithms (OMT, Pareto)
  - Preprocessing (tautology removal, deduplication, subsumption)
  - SMT-LIB2 commands

## Test Coverage

- **110 passing tests** (4 experimental tests need refinement)
- Test coverage includes:
  - All MaxSAT algorithms with various constraint configurations
  - Edge cases (empty, unsatisfiable, all satisfiable)
  - Weight management (integer, rational, infinite)
  - Cardinality network encodings
  - Preprocessing operations
  - SMT-LIB2 command processing

## Future Considerations

If SciRS2-Core develops specialized optimization libraries that:
1. Provide equivalent or better algorithms
2. Maintain API compatibility
3. Have good performance characteristics

Then oxiz-opt could consider integrating them. However, the current implementation is self-contained and follows established research in the MaxSAT/OMT domain.

## Compliance Status: ✅ COMPLIANT

All SCIRS2 policies have been followed to the extent applicable for an optimization engine library.
