From ede9bc47025e5bbb51df76a40731c19e12d15577 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Meyerovich Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 02:02:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] docs(gfql): Extract comprehensive GFQL documentation from PR #708 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit extracts all GFQL documentation components from PR #708 that were missing from the incomplete PRs #715/#716. This documentation PR stacks on top of the code PR (gfql-code-v2) to provide complete GFQL implementation docs. Documentation Extracted: - Complete GFQL specification (language.md, wire_protocol.md, etc.) - Python embedding documentation with AST, Let, and Call examples - Updated tutorial and quick reference guides - Validation framework documentation - Remote execution patterns and examples - NEW: Call operations demo notebook (502 lines) Key Features Documented: - AST classes: ASTLet (DAG patterns), ASTRemoteGraph, ASTRef, ASTCall - Let bindings for named graph operations and DAG execution - Call operations with security safelist (50+ allowed methods) - Unified API: gfql(), gfql_remote(), gfql_remote_shape() - Comprehensive validation with structured error types - Remote execution capabilities for GPU acceleration This addresses the documentation gap from PRs #715/#716 which captured only ~20% of the actual GFQL implementation from PR #708. Files: 18 documentation files + 1 new demo notebook Total: ~15,000 lines of comprehensive GFQL documentation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude ---

add external links MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Update translate.rst examples to show plugin variety - Change betweenness to use igraph (CPU for precision) - Add get_degrees as built-in optimized method - Mix GPU/CPU/built-in methods with explanatory comments - Add external library links to builtin_calls.rst - Link to cuGraph GitHub and NVIDIA RAPIDS - Link to igraph.org for CPU algorithms - Add parameter discovery guidance with links to docs - Add GPU offloading recommendations - Suggest remote GFQL for 5s-5hr CPU workloads - Note 10-50x GPU speedup for large graphs - Fix See Also cross-references - Update to use correct ref labels - Fix gfql-specifications and gfql-predicates-quick - Clarify fa2_layout vs layout_cugraph force_atlas2 - Note CPU vs GPU implementation differences Investigation findings: - All documented methods exist in call_safelist.py - group_in_a_box_layout exists but not exposed in safelist 🤖
