📝 Notes¶

Design Decisions Made¶

Pydantic v2: Using modern Pydantic with ConfigDict instead of Config class
Error Handling: Custom exception hierarchy for clear error messages
File Discovery: Using Path.glob() for flexible file matching
Validation: Early validation in parser, comprehensive validation in validator
Type Safety: Full type hints everywhere for better IDE support

Best Practices Followed¶

✅ Docstrings in Google format
✅ Type hints on all functions
✅ Comprehensive error messages with file paths
✅ Clean separation of concerns
✅ No side effects in core functions
✅ Stateless design for predictability
✅ Test-driven development
