## 📦 Installation

```bash
# Install from PyPI (recommended)
pip install coral-ml

# Install with PyTorch support
pip install coral-ml[torch]

# Development installation
git clone https://github.com/parkerdgabel/coral.git
cd coral
pip install -e ".[dev,torch]"
```

## 🔥 Quick Start

### 1. Initialize Repository & Basic Workflow

```python
from coral import Repository, WeightTensor
from coral.core.weight_tensor import WeightMetadata
import numpy as np

# Initialize repository
repo = Repository("./my_model_repo", init=True)

# Create and stage weights
weights = {
    "layer1.weight": WeightTensor(
        data=np.random.randn(256, 128).astype(np.float32),
        metadata=WeightMetadata(name="layer1.weight", shape=(256, 128), dtype=np.float32)
    ),
    "layer1.bias": WeightTensor(
        data=np.random.randn(256).astype(np.float32), 
        metadata=WeightMetadata(name="layer1.bias", shape=(256,), dtype=np.float32)
    )
}

# Stage, commit, and tag
repo.stage_weights(weights)
commit = repo.commit("Initial model weights")
repo.tag_version("v1.0", "Production model")

# Branch workflow
repo.create_branch("experiment")
repo.checkout("experiment")
# ... modify weights ...
repo.stage_weights(modified_weights)
repo.commit("Experimental changes")

# Merge back to main
repo.checkout("main")
merge_commit = repo.merge("experiment")
```

### 2. PyTorch Training Integration

```python
from coral.integrations.pytorch import CoralTrainer
from coral.training import CheckpointConfig, TrainingState
import torch.nn as nn

# Setup
model = nn.Sequential(
    nn.Linear(784, 256), nn.ReLU(),
    nn.Linear(256, 128), nn.ReLU(),
    nn.Linear(128, 10)
)
repo = Repository("./training_repo", init=True)

# Configure intelligent checkpointing
config = CheckpointConfig(
    save_every_n_epochs=5,                    # Regular saves
    save_on_best_metric="accuracy",           # Save when improving
    keep_best_n_checkpoints=3,                # Limit storage
    max_checkpoints=10
)

# Initialize trainer with callback
trainer = CoralTrainer(model, repo, "training_session", config)

def checkpoint_callback(state: TrainingState, commit_hash: str):
    print(f"📸 Checkpoint saved! Epoch {state.epoch}, Loss: {state.loss:.4f}")

trainer.register_checkpoint_callback(checkpoint_callback)

# Training loop - checkpointing is automatic!
for epoch in range(100):
    epoch_loss, epoch_acc = 0, 0
    for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
        # ... your training code ...
        loss = criterion(output, target)
        
        # Update trainer (handles checkpointing automatically)
        trainer.step(loss=loss.item(), accuracy=acc.item())
    
    # End epoch (triggers checkpoint if conditions met)
    trainer.epoch_end(epoch, loss=epoch_loss, accuracy=epoch_acc)

# Load best checkpoint for evaluation
trainer.load_checkpoint(load_best=True)
```

### 3. CLI Workflow

```bash
# Initialize new project
coral-ml init my_ml_project
cd my_ml_project

# Add model weights
coral-ml add model_checkpoint.pth
coral-ml commit -m "Initial model checkpoint"

# Experiment workflow
coral-ml branch fine_tune_lr_0.001
coral-ml checkout fine_tune_lr_0.001

# After training iteration
coral-ml add updated_model.pth
coral-ml commit -m "Fine-tuned with lr=0.001, accuracy=92.5%"

# Compare experiments
coral-ml diff main fine_tune_lr_0.001
coral-ml log --oneline

# Tag successful model
coral-ml tag v1.1 -d "Best performing model" 

# Clean up storage
coral-ml gc --dry-run  # See what would be deleted
coral-ml gc            # Actually clean up
```

## 🏗️ Architecture & Core Components

### WeightTensor - The Foundation
```python
from coral import WeightTensor
from coral.core.weight_tensor import WeightMetadata

# Rich metadata support
metadata = WeightMetadata(
    name="transformer.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.query.weight",
    shape=(768, 768),
    dtype=np.float32,
    layer_type="Linear",
    model_name="bert-base-uncased",
    compression_info={"method": "delta", "reference": "abc123"}
)

weight = WeightTensor(data=weight_array, metadata=metadata)
print(f"Hash: {weight.compute_hash()}")  # Content-addressable ID
print(f"Size: {weight.nbytes} bytes")
```

### Lossless Delta Encoding System
```python
from coral.delta import DeltaEncoder, DeltaConfig, DeltaType

# Configure delta encoding
config = DeltaConfig(
    delta_type=DeltaType.COMPRESSED,        # Best compression + lossless
    similarity_threshold=0.99,              # How similar to create delta
    compression_level=6                     # Balance speed vs compression
)

encoder = DeltaEncoder(config)

# Encode similar weights as deltas
if encoder.can_encode_as_delta(weight_current, weight_reference):
    delta = encoder.encode_delta(weight_current, weight_reference)
    # 90-98% compression with perfect reconstruction!
    
    # Later: reconstruct perfectly
    reconstructed = encoder.decode_delta(delta, weight_reference)
    # reconstructed == weight_current (exactly!)
```

### Advanced Deduplication
```python
from coral import Deduplicator

# Intelligent similarity detection
dedup = Deduplicator(
    similarity_threshold=0.98,              # 98% similar = deduplicate
    enable_delta_encoding=True,             # Lossless compression
    batch_size=100                          # Process in batches
)

# Process model weights
total_savings = 0
for name, weight in model.state_dict().items():
    ref_hash, delta_info = dedup.add_weight(weight, name)
    if delta_info:
        print(f"💾 {name}: {delta_info['compression_ratio']:.1%} compression")
        total_savings += delta_info['bytes_saved']

print(f"🎉 Total savings: {total_savings / 1024**2:.1f} MB")
```

### Production Storage
```python
from coral import HDF5Store

# High-performance storage with compression
with HDF5Store("production_weights.h5", 
               compression="gzip", 
               compression_opts=9,
               chunk_cache_mem_size=1024**3) as store:  # 1GB cache
    
    # Batch operations for performance
    weight_batch = {f"layer_{i}": weights[i] for i in range(100)}
    hashes = store.store_batch(weight_batch)
    
    # Storage analytics
    info = store.get_storage_info()
    print(f"📊 Storage: {info['total_size'] / 1024**3:.2f} GB")
    print(f"🗜️ Compression: {info['compression_ratio']:.1%}")
    print(f"⚡ Weights: {info['total_weights']:,}")
```
