## ⚠️ Issues to Address Before Public Release

### 1. **CRITICAL: API Key Setup**
**Issue:** Users won't have CBORG API access
**Current state:** Code expects `CBORG_API_KEY` from LBL's CBORG system
**Impact:** External users cannot run the code without CBORG access

**Solutions:**
- [x] Add clear notice in README that CBORG access is required
- [x] Provide instructions for requesting CBORG access
- [x] Document how to get CBORG credentials
- [ ] OR: Add alternative OpenAI API support as fallback (optional enhancement)

**Status:** ✅ README now includes Prerequisites section with CBORG access requirements

### 2. **Data Access**
**Issue:** Reference data paths are NERSC-specific
**Current paths:** `/global/cfs/projectdirs/atlas/...`
**Impact:** External users cannot access data

**Solutions:**
- [x] Already documented in README (users can download from ATLAS Open Data)
- [ ] Add explicit download links for ATLAS Open Data
- [ ] Provide script to download data automatically
- [ ] Document expected directory structure

**Suggested addition:**
```markdown
### Downloading ATLAS Open Data

```bash
# Download script example
wget https://opendata.cern.ch/record/15006/files/...
# Or provide helper script
bash scripts/download_atlas_data.sh
```
```

### 3. **Reference Solution Arrays**
**Status:** ✅ Partially addressed
- [x] `.gitignore` properly excludes large .npy files
- [x] `solution/arrays/README.md` explains missing files
- [x] `scripts/fetch_solution_arrays.sh` exists
- [ ] Script hardcoded to NERSC path - won't work externally

**Fix needed:**
```bash
# In fetch_solution_arrays.sh, line 7:
# Current:
SRC_DIR=${REF_SOLN_DIR:-/global/cfs/projectdirs/atlas/dwkim/llm4hep/solution/arrays}

# Should be:
SRC_DIR=${REF_SOLN_DIR:-./solution_reference}
# And add instructions to generate arrays or download them
```

### 4. **Configuration Files**

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED

**config.example.yml:**
- [x] Created comprehensive example config with all options
- [x] Added comments explaining each field
- [x] Listed all available CBORG models
- [x] Documented supervisor/coder roles, temperature, max_iterations, out_dir

**models.example.txt:**
- [x] Created example file with clear formatting
- [x] Added examples for major model families (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, AWS)
- [x] Emphasized blank line requirement

### 5. **Model Lists**

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED

**models.example.txt:**
- [x] Created clean example with proper formatting
- [x] Added clear comments and instructions
- [x] Included examples for all major model families
- [x] Emphasized blank line requirement with warning

**Note:** Actual `models.txt` and `config.yml` are user-specific and properly excluded from git

### 6. **Dependencies and Environment**

**environment.yml:**
- [x] Looks complete
- [ ] Should test on fresh environment to verify
- [ ] Some packages may have version conflicts (ROOT + latest Python)

**Missing:**
- [ ] No `requirements.txt` for pip-only users
- [ ] No Docker/container option for reproducibility

**Suggestions:**
```bash
# Add requirements.txt
pip freeze > requirements.txt

# Add Dockerfile
# Or at minimum, document tested versions
```

### 7. **Unused/Testing Files**

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED

**Cleaned up:**
- [x] `testing_area/` - Deleted by user
- [x] `model_test_output.txt` - Added to .gitignore
- [x] `tmp_results/` - Added to .gitignore
- [x] `all_stats.csv` - Added to .gitignore
- [x] `solution/arrays_incorrect/` - Deleted (unused development files)
- [x] `solution/results/` - Deleted (redundant ROOT files)
- [x] `solution/__pycache__/` - Deleted
- [x] `jobs/slurm/*.out` - Old SLURM outputs deleted, added to .gitignore

**Action:** ✅ All test artifacts cleaned up and properly ignored

### 8. **Licensing**

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED

**CRITICAL for public release:**
- [x] LICENSE file added (MIT License)
- [x] Copyright notice includes UC Berkeley and all contributors
- [x] Proper legal protection for public repository

**Copyright:** The Regents of the University of California, on behalf of its Berkeley campus, and contributors

### 9. **Citation and Attribution**

**Should add:**
- [ ] CITATION.cff file
- [ ] BibTeX entry in README
- [ ] Acknowledgments section
- [ ] Links to papers (if applicable)

### 10. **Testing and Examples**

**Should provide:**
- [ ] Quick start example (5-minute test)
- [ ] Full workflow example
- [ ] Expected output examples
- [ ] Sample results for validation

**Suggested: Add `examples/` directory:**
```
examples/
  quick_start.sh          # 1-step test
  full_workflow.sh        # All 5 steps
  expected_output/        # What users should see
```

## 📋 Recommended File Additions

### 1. LICENSE
Choose appropriate open-source license (MIT recommended for max reuse)

### 2. CONTRIBUTING.md
Guidelines for external contributors

### 3. CHANGELOG.md
Track versions and changes

### 4. .github/workflows/
- [ ] CI/CD for testing
- [ ] Automated documentation builds

### 5. scripts/setup.sh
One-command setup script:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Complete setup for llm4hep

# 1. Check prerequisites
# 2. Set up conda environment
# 3. Configure API keys
# 4. Download reference data
# 5. Validate installation
```

## 🔍 Code Quality Issues

### Fixed Issues:
1. **SLURM output path:** ✅ Fixed in `jobs/run_tests.sh` to use relative path `jobs/slurm/%j.out`
2. **Test file cleanup:** ✅ All temporary files removed and ignored

### Minor Issues Remaining:
1. **Commented-out code:** `test_models.sh` has `# source ~/.apikeys.sh` commented
   - Should either uncomment or remove
   
2. **Inconsistent error handling:** Some scripts check for API key, others don't
   - Not critical for initial release

3. **Hard-coded paths:** Several scripts have NERSC-specific paths
   - Documented in README as institutional limitation
