Get precise ready for JOSS review - #121
Conversation
Twelve scripts in research/legacy_skatervaluation/battlescriptscustom/manager_info/ were named with URL query strings (stocks?topic=stocks&n_dim=int:151&...&k=int:3.py). Git on Windows refuses a path containing ? or :, so the repository could not be cloned there, and install-smoke's windows-latest job has failed at the checkout step every week since August (its other five jobs pass). The scripts read their parameters from their own file names through runthis.parse_kwargs, a module that is not in the repository; they also import the precise.skaters modules removed at 1.0, so none of them runs today. Rather than delete reference code, each is renamed to stocks_n_dim_<d>_n_obs_<n>_n_burn_<b>_k_<k>.py and the parameters its old name encoded are written into the script as a dict, so no information is lost. To stop it recurring: - tests/test_repo_paths.py fails if any tracked path has a component containing <>:"|?*\ or a control character, ends in a dot or space, or is a reserved DOS device name. It runs in every CI test job. - a new windows-checkout job in ci.yml checks the repository out on windows-latest, runs that test and imports the package. install-smoke installs from PyPI and only checks out .github/smoke.py, but the checkout still reads the whole tree, which is why the bad names broke it. Run locally against the PyPI wheel, smoke.py passes (precise 1.1.0, 20 estimators). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two workflows uploaded every release to PyPI: deploy.yml (on release "created", twine with the PYPI_USERNAME/PYPI_PASSWORD secrets) and publish.yml (on release "published", trusted publishing). For v1.1.0 both ran: deploy.yml uploaded the wheel and sdist at 04:13, and publish.yml uploaded the identical files again at 04:41, which PyPI accepted as duplicates. Trusted publishing therefore already works, and deploy.yml adds nothing but a second copy of the upload and a long-lived token. - Delete deploy.yml. - Move its one useful check into publish.yml: on a release, refuse to publish when the tag is not v<pyproject version>. Make twine check --strict, as deploy.yml had it. - Point install-smoke's workflow_run trigger at "Publish to PyPI"; it named "deploy", so it would otherwise stop validating releases. The PYPI_USERNAME and PYPI_PASSWORD repository secrets are no longer used and can be deleted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Contributor Covenant 2.1, verbatim from contributor-covenant.org, with the enforcement contact set to peter.cotton@microprediction.com. JOSS reviewers check for community guidelines, and GitHub's community profile for the repository listed no code of conduct. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
JOSS asks for guidelines on how to contribute, how to report problems and how to seek support, and for a single-author project it counts a CONTRIBUTING file and stated support or governance expectations among the signs of open practice. The repository had none. CONTRIBUTING.md covers: where to ask questions and who answers (the maintainer, best effort, with silently wrong results first); governance (one maintainer, decisions made in the open, a route to co-maintainership); what a bug report needs; how to propose a change, and how to add an estimator; the development setup; the checks CI runs; and the release process. To make the coverage figure something CI enforces rather than a local measurement: - the ci test job now runs pytest --cov=precise --cov-fail-under=95 (local coverage is 96%); - pytest-cov is added to the dev extra.

Citation File Format 1.2.0 metadata for precise 1.1.0 (released 2026-09-13): author Peter Cotton with ORCID, MIT licence, repository and documentation URLs, abstract and keywords. GitHub turns it into a "Cite this repository" entry. Validated with cffconvert 2.0.0. The Zenodo DOI does not exist yet. A commented TODO(Peter) line marks where the concept DOI goes once a release has been archived; it is commented out so the file stays valid until then.

JOSS requires an AI usage disclosure naming the tools and versions, where they were used and the nature of the help. The paper had a short version; the repository had none. The figures are from git history on main: - 958 commits before June 2026, none with an AI co-author trailer; - 99 of the 103 commits since 2026-06-01 carry a Co-Authored-By: Claude trailer (Claude Opus 4.8: 81, Claude Opus 5: 11, Claude Fable 5: 5, Claude Opus 5.5: 2), all via Claude Code; - about 97% of the lines now in precise/ (3,341 of 3,448 by git blame) were last changed in those commits. The file also states what the author decided and is responsible for, what SKILL.md and .claude/skills/ are (instructions for agents using the package, not a disclosure), the checks the code must pass, and which methods are new and marked experimental. It lists the commands that reproduce the counts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
These are new methods introduced with this package, not established ones from the literature: SchurCovariance, SchurLedoitWolfCovariance, SchurConditionalCovariance, the SchurLikelihood assessor (the subject of an unrefereed working paper) and the suggest() recommender. Reviewers are asked to judge established, vetted methods, so the package should say plainly which parts are not. - Docstrings: each of the five now opens with an "Experimental" paragraph saying it is new, not peer-reviewed or validated outside the package, and may change between minor releases, and pointing to an established alternative. suggest()'s note also repeats the package's own finding that per-data-set choice is close to, and sometimes worse than, one good fixed estimator except when variables approach observations. - docs/index.html: the estimator table marks the three Schur estimators experimental and adds the three registered estimators it omitted (BlockCovariance, SchurLedoitWolfCovariance, SchurConditionalCovariance); its count said fourteen, and twenty are registered. The recommender and Schur pseudo-likelihood sections carry the same label. No behaviour changes: only docstrings and HTML are edited. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… way
Docstrings. 31 of the 34 names in precise.__all__ had docstrings; these three did not:
- BaseOnlineCovariance: what a subclass implements, and the interface every estimator inherits
(fitting, fitted attributes, scoring, checkpointing, get/set_params), with an example;
- estimator_names: what it returns, with an example;
- assessor_from_name: parameter, KeyError, and an example.
The examples pass under doctest (with ELLIPSIS for the estimator repr).
Packaging.
- license = "MIT" with license-files = ["LICENSE"] replaces the deprecated
license = { text = "MIT" } table, as the Python Packaging Guide and PEP 639 recommend. The
wheel now records License-Expression: MIT (PyPI showed license_expression: None) and ships
LICENSE under dist-info/licenses/. PEP 639 deprecates licence classifiers alongside an
expression, so the "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License" classifier is dropped. This
needs hatchling >= 1.27, now the build requirement.
- The sdist include patterns are anchored to the root ("/README.md" rather than "README.md"),
so it no longer picks up .claude/skills/README.md and
papers/online_spectral_calibration/README.md.
Both artefacts build and pass twine check --strict.

…support, citing - Badges that resolve: PyPI version, the ci workflow, Python versions from PyPI, MIT licence, and a coverage badge that states the floor ci.yml enforces (pytest --cov-fail-under=95), so it stays true while main is green without a third-party coverage service. - "Who it is for": the target audience, and research uses so far (the author's working papers, with reproduction scripts in research/, and the river integration). - The Use example now defines its stream, so it runs as pasted. - The estimator table lists all twenty registered estimators; it lacked DiagonalCovariance, BlockCovariance and the three Schur estimators, which are added and marked experimental, with a note on what experimental means. suggest() and the Schur pseudo-likelihood are labelled the same way. - "Comparison with other packages": sklearn.covariance (batch only), river.covariance and skfolio/PyPortfolioOpt. river PR #1923 (merged 2026-07-18, shipped in river 0.26.0) ported EwaCovariance, LedoitWolfCovariance, OASCovariance and ShrunkCovariance into river.covariance, crediting precise, and added EwaPrecision. The README says to use river's versions when already in river, and lists what precise still offers: the estimators river does not have (nonlinear shrinkage, robust, DCC and composed models, factor, partial moments, adaptive, geodesic, block, Schur), one contract and registry across all twenty, dict state for checkpointing, assessors and a recommender, and keyed adapters for changing universes. - Development install, Contributing and support, and Citing sections, linking CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, AI_USE.md and CITATION.cff by absolute URL so the links work on PyPI too. - The portfolio-construction note now says plainly that it moved out of precise at 1.0. The README still renders on PyPI (twine check --strict passes). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…io tag - State of the field: the river paragraph said river.covariance had only empirical covariance, empirical precision and an exponentially weighted variant. Since river PR #1923 (merged 2026-07-18, shipped in river 0.26.0) it also has four estimators ported from precise. The paragraph now says so, says the port followed the author's offer to river's maintainers, and gives the build-versus-contribute reasoning JOSS asks for: river admits only estimators that never invert on read, and precise keeps the rest. - Research impact: adds the river adoption, the one use of the package outside the author's own work. - Summary: says which parts are new methods and marked experimental. - Quality control: "two hundred and ninety-three tests" is now "more than 360" (368 on this branch), and mentions the numpy-only run and the 95% coverage floor. - AI usage disclosure: names the models (Claude Opus 4.8, Opus 5, Fable 5, Opus 5.5, via Claude Code), the scope (about 97% of the lines in precise/; the pre-1.0 releases without AI), the kinds of help, and JOSS's required statement that the author reviewed, edited and validated the output and made the core design decisions; points to AI_USE.md. - Tags: "portfolio construction" becomes "online learning"; portfolio construction left precise at 1.0. - Date: 5 October 2026. - The affiliation is left as it is, with a TODO(Peter) comment beside it (a YAML comment, so the header still parses), and a TODO(Peter) HTML comment under Acknowledgements for the funding and conflict-of-interest statements JOSS requires. Body is about 1,400 words (JOSS asks for 750-1750). The YAML header parses, and every citation key resolves in paper.bib (pandoc --citeproc, no warnings; no unused entries). Docker is not available here, so the JOSS draft action was not run locally; joss-draft.yml runs it on push. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Limit release smoke runs to successful PyPI publications.
completed also starts this workflow after a failed publish or a Test PyPI publish. The smoke job then installs from PyPI and can pass against an older release. That result does not validate the release named in the workflow comment. Gate the smoke job on a successful upstream conclusion and exclude Test PyPI runs.

The licence is now declared PEP 639 style:license = "MIT"withlicense-files = ["LICENSE"]. That needs hatchling >= 1.27, and it drops the licence classifier. The wheel now recordsLicense-Expression: MIT. The sdist include patterns are anchored, so the sdist no longer includes.claude/skills/README.md.
