Overview

This week focuses on the AnanaCare Relabel project, with emphasis on automating the setup process and planning the Undo/Redo functionality.

Week Summary

Week 27 delivered a strong shift from prototype-level scripts to a more production-ready ML control plane. Across the week, the core job lifecycle was established end-to-end (start, monitor, logs, stop), then extended with Hugging Face remote log polling, model promotion workflow, and better process safety for long-running training tasks.

Key outcomes from this week:

  • Built and validated the MVP Training Control Plane (FastAPI backend + Svelte dashboard) with live local job execution and log visibility.
  • Added remote Hugging Face job log ingestion into backend polling, improving observability for cloud runs.
  • Implemented model promotion flow (/api/promote/{trial_id}) to transition from best trial parameters to reproducible final training.
  • Improved reliability and UX around results exploration, including dynamic version discovery and version-aware HiPlot rendering.
  • Hardened process lifecycle behavior using psutil to better terminate child processes and reduce zombie-process risk.

Notable context:

  • Day 4 (March 19) was a light/non-technical entry due to Ugadi.

Challenges and follow-ups identified during the week:

  • Need stronger persistence for job metadata (in-memory registry is still a limitation).
  • Potential race conditions around concurrent promotion/sync operations need backend locking.
  • HiPlot behavior for large trial sets and cross-browser blob handling still needs extra hardening/testing.

Overall, the week closed with meaningful momentum: the platform now supports the full loop of experiment execution, monitoring, comparison, and promotion, with clearer paths toward production stability in the next iteration.
