Improved UI Companion

User / Create

• Generate a CLI command for a single keys file:
• PerfectHashCreate.exe <KeysPath> <OutputDir> Chm01 MultiplyShiftRX And <MaxConcurrency>
• Bulk create across a keys directory:
• PerfectHashBulkCreate.exe <KeysDir> <OutputDir> Chm01 MultiplyShiftRX And <MaxConcurrency>
• UI runner (local):
• cd ui && npm run server
• Or cd ui && npm run dev:full to run UI + runner together.
• Runner defaults to port 7071; override with PERFECTHASH_UI_SERVER_PORT.
• UI can target a custom endpoint via VITE_RUNNER_URL.
• Recommended hash set for exploration: MultiplyShiftR, MultiplyShiftLR, MultiplyShiftRMultiply, MultiplyShiftR2, MultiplyShiftRX, Mulshrolate1RX, Mulshrolate2RX, Mulshrolate3RX, Mulshrolate4RX.
• Common flags:
• --SkipTestAfterCreate to skip verification/benchmarks.
• --Compile to build generated outputs (msbuild must be on PATH).
• --IndexOnly to omit table values array and associated projects.

Developer / Environment

• Install OS dependencies:
• scripts/install-deps/ubuntu.sh
• scripts/install-deps/fedora.sh
• scripts/install-deps/arch.sh
• scripts/install-deps/windows.ps1
• Optional Rust/Cargo install:
• WITH_RUST=1 scripts/install-deps/ubuntu.sh
• WITH_RUST=1 scripts/install-deps/fedora.sh
• WITH_RUST=1 scripts/install-deps/arch.sh
• WITH_RUST=1 powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install-deps/windows.ps1
• Linux conda environment:
• mamba env create -f conda/environments/dev-linux_os-linux_arch-x86_64_py-313_cuda-none_compiler-llvm.yaml
• mamba activate dev-linux_os-linux_arch-x86_64_py-313_cuda-none_compiler-llvm
• UI setup:
• cd ui && npm install
• Environment UI bootstrap:
• Use the Bootstrap button to run system prerequisites then conda create.
• Conda create uses composable Python/CUDA/compiler selections and conda run.
• If sudo is required, the UI prompts for the password and sends it to the session.

Developer / Build

• Configure via build.sh (auto-selects Ninja when available):
• ./build.sh
• ./build.sh -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
• Build:
• cmake --build build --config Release
• Windows:
• msbuild /nologo /m /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64 src/PerfectHash.sln
• Build UI:
• Use the CMake configure/build/install rows to run cmake commands with selected generators, build types, and PerfectHash options.

Developer / Test

• CMake/CTest:
• ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
• CLI regression:
• cmake -P tests/run_cli_test.cmake
• cmake -P tests/run_cli_codegen_test.cmake
• UI:
• cd ui && npm test
• cd ui && npm run test:e2e

Analysis

• CSV outputs live in the table output directory; summarize coverage and timing deltas.
• Use the curated good hash set when benchmarking.
• Track output DLL size and Index() throughput across runs.
