⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Type Handling In multiple prompt flows, the returned value may be a Choice or a raw string. Ensure consistent handling and typing (especially when accessing .value or .value.data) to avoid runtime errors if the prompt returns unexpected types. formatter_choices = [ Choice("⚫ black", data="black"), Choice("⚡ ruff", data="ruff"), Choice("🔧 other", data="other"), Choice("❌ don't use a formatter", data="don't use a formatter"), ] result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=formatter_choices[0]) if result.command is None: apologize_and_exit() formatter = result.value.data if isinstance(result.value, Choice) else result.value git_remote = "" Exit Flow Consistency Several prompts treat result.command is None as a cancel and immediately exit. Verify this matches desired UX in all places (e.g., module/tests selection, GH Actions setup) and won’t surprise users by exiting instead of re-prompting. default_choice = project_name if project_name in module_subdir_options else module_subdir_options[0] result = prompts.select( "Which Python module do you want me to optimize?", choices=module_subdir_options, default=default_choice ) if result.command is None: apologize_and_exit() module_root_answer = result.value if module_root_answer == curdir_option: API Stability The wrapper relies on inquirer_textual internal widget classes and return structure. Confirm these APIs and the .run(inline=True) return shape (command/value) are stable across versions to prevent breakages. def select( # noqa: ANN201 message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], default: str | Choice | None = None ): # type: ignore[no-untyped-def] widget = InquirerSelect(message, choices, default, mandatory=True) app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False) return app.run(inline=True) def confirm(message: str, *, default: bool = False): # noqa: ANN201 # type: ignore[no-untyped-def] widget = InquirerConfirm(message, default=default, mandatory=True) app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False) return app.run(inline=True) def text(message: str): # noqa: ANN201 # type: ignore[no-untyped-def] widget = InquirerText(message) app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False) return app.run(inline=True) def checkbox( # noqa: ANN201 message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], enabled: list[str | Choice] | None = None ): # type: ignore[no-untyped-def] widget = InquirerCheckbox(message, choices, enabled) app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False) return app.run(inline=True)

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Use boolean confirm instead of select Use a proper boolean confirm prompt to avoid fragile string comparisons and localization issues. Replace the select with prompts.confirm and branch on its boolean value. codeflash/cli_cmds/cmd_init.py [573-577] -result = prompts.select("Create pyproject.toml in the current directory?", choices=["Yes", "No"], default="Yes") -if result.command is None or result.value == "No": +result = prompts.confirm("Create pyproject.toml in the current directory?", default=True) +if result.command is None or result.value is False: apologize_and_exit() create_empty_pyproject_toml(pyproject_toml_path) Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: Replacing a Yes/No select with a boolean confirm reduces string-comparison fragility and improves UX; the improved_code aligns with the PR’s new prompt framework (prompts.confirm) and keeps behavior consistent.	Medium
	Normalize select default and value handling Ensure the default passed to select matches the widget’s expected type. Pass the underlying value (label or Choice) consistently and avoid mixing plain strings and Choice objects to prevent selection mismatch. codeflash/cli_cmds/cmd_init.py [473-484] formatter_choices = [ Choice("⚫ black", data="black"), Choice("⚡ ruff", data="ruff"), Choice("🔧 other", data="other"), Choice("❌ don't use a formatter", data="don't use a formatter"), ] -result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=formatter_choices[0]) +default_choice = formatter_choices[0] +result = prompts.select("Which code formatter do you use?", choices=formatter_choices, default=default_choice) if result.command is None: apologize_and_exit() -formatter = result.value.data if isinstance(result.value, Choice) else result.value +formatter = result.value.data Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: Passing a Choice as default is already done and supported; forcing formatter = result.value.data may be slightly cleaner but the current isinstance guard is safe, making the improvement minor.	Low
General	Validate non-empty choices Guard against empty choices to prevent runtime errors inside the widget and provide a clear failure path. Validate input early and raise a helpful error message. codeflash/cli_cmds/themed_prompts.py [69-75] def select( # noqa: ANN201 message: str, choices: list[str | Choice], default: str | Choice | None = None ): # type: ignore[no-untyped-def] + if not choices: + raise ValueError("select() requires at least one choice") widget = InquirerSelect(message, choices, default, mandatory=True) app: CodeflashThemedApp = CodeflashThemedApp(widget, shortcuts=None, show_footer=False) return app.run(inline=True) Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: Adding an early check for empty choices prevents runtime errors and clarifies failures; it's a small but useful robustness improvement that accurately updates the provided code block.	Low
