⚡ Bolt: Refactor O(N*M) exercise-to-solution matching loops to O(N) dictionary lookup#133
Conversation
Refactored `get_all_exercises` in `evolutia/material_extractor.py` and `index_materials` in `evolutia/rag/rag_indexer.py`. Both methods previously used an O(N*M) nested loop to match a solution to an exercise based on the label. This has been replaced with an O(N) approach where we first build a lookup dictionary mapping the exercise label to the solution, and then retrieve it via an O(1) lookup. Evaluated to have identical logic. Co-authored-by: glacy <1131951+glacy@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
This PR improves the performance of exercise→solution association during material extraction and RAG indexing by replacing repeated nested-loop matching with a precomputed dictionary lookup, reducing quadratic scans on large course datasets.
Changes:
- Refactors exercise-to-solution matching in
MaterialExtractor.get_all_exercises()to use anexercise_label -> solutionlookup dict (preserving first-match behavior). - Refactors
RAGIndexer.index_materials()to use the same O(1) solution lookup when building per-exercise payloads for indexing. - Applies formatting/cleanup refactors in both modules (and fixes some previously unreachable cache-writing code in
extract_from_file).

💡 What: Refactored the$O(N \times M)$ nested loop used to map an exercise to its corresponding solution with an $O(N)$ lookup dictionary approach.
get_all_exercisesmethod inevolutia/material_extractor.pyand theindex_materialsmethod inevolutia/rag/rag_indexer.py. Replaced the🎯 Why: To improve performance and efficiency during material extraction and index generation. For courses with large sets of exercises and solutions, the nested iterations scale quadratically. By mapping
exercise_labels to their solutions upfront in a dictionary, we reduce the complexity, achieving significantly faster matching when building the exercise data lists.📊 Impact: Reduces matching loop complexity from$O(N \times M)$ to $O(N + M)$ . For a typical course load containing hundreds of materials, this minimizes redundant searches, resulting in noticeable latency reductions during generation and RAG processing.
🔬 Measurement: Extract timing metrics before and after generating an index via
evolutia_cli.py --use_rag --reindex. The impact is specifically verifiable on large file sets. Verified correctly handlesNonecases and preserves the "first match" logic by only appending non-existent dictionary keys.(Tests pass correctly, formatting compliant via black/ruff)
