Candidates above 0.85 auto-accept; others require admin approval.
Switch to Bun for 2-5x faster frontend builds, implement cargo-chef for
reliable Rust dependency caching, and add Biome for fast code
formatting.
Build system improvements:
- Replace pnpm with Bun for frontend package management
- Add cargo-chef to Dockerfile for better Rust build layer caching
- Update all commands to use bun instead of pnpm
Developer experience:
- Add comprehensive Justfile commands (format, format-check, db)
- Implement automated PostgreSQL Docker setup with random port
allocation
- Add stricter checks (--deny warnings on clippy, --all-features flag)
Code quality:
- Add Biome formatter for 10-100x faster TypeScript/JavaScript
formatting
- Add GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow for automated checks
- Update .dockerignore with comprehensive exclusions
- Format all code with cargo fmt (Rust) and Biome (TypeScript)
All changes maintain backward compatibility and can be tested
incrementally.
Add batch upsert functionality to reduce database round-trips from N to 1 when inserting courses. Create comprehensive database indexes for common query patterns including term/subject lookups, time-series metrics, and job scheduling. Remove redundant indexes and add monitoring guidance for BRIN index effectiveness.
