Update configloader to overwrite gitattributes and gitignore (2025-11-11 01:50Z)

@ConfigLoader.ps1 let's make it so configloader also overwrites gitattributes and gitignore.@2025-11-10_16-59Z-change-compression-method-to-7z.md

Updated ConfigLoader.ps1 to include .gitattributes and .gitignore in the deployment. They are added to the $specs array and will be overwritten recursively throughout the project, using the source files from the components directory.

The changes:

  • Added .gitattributes with source from components\gitattributes
  • Added .gitignore with source from components\gitignore

When you run ConfigLoader.ps1, it will find and update these files wherever they exist in the project, just like the batch files.

Summary

  • .gitattributes: Project is missing 6 entries and includes 3 project-specific ones (Substance files).
  • .gitignore: Project has project-specific paths and a different Renders/ pattern; source uses a more generic pattern with exceptions.

When ConfigLoader.ps1 runs, it will overwrite the project files with the source versions, removing the project-specific customizations. Consider updating the source files to include commonly needed entries, or adjust the deployment logic to preserve project-specific sections.

Updated the script to deploy .gitattributes and .gitignore to the project root. It will:

  1. Update existing files recursively (as before)
  2. Deploy to the project root, creating them if missing or overwriting if present

When you run ConfigLoader, it will:

  • Update any existing .gitattributes and .gitignore files found recursively
  • Deploy fresh copies to the project root (including the Substance file extensions we just added)

The deployment happens after the batch file updates and before the config files deployment.

Updated zip_sequences.py to ignore _CURRENT folders in addition to _archive folders. Changes:

  1. is_archive_path function — checks for both _archive and _CURRENT in path parts
  2. find_sequence_dirs function — filters out both _archive and _CURRENT from directory traversal
  3. iter_sequence_files function — filters out both _archive and _CURRENT from directory traversal

The script now skips both _archive and _CURRENT folders when scanning for sequences to zip.

I'm hitting a hard RAM bottleneck. This machine only has 64gb ddr5, can we make it so it limits the amount of concurrent 7z jobs depending on how much RAM is available? does this also depend on the size of the folders that are targeted for zipping?


Agent (model default, mode Plan)


Reviewing the current implementation to understand how worker count is managed and how we can add RAM-based limiting:


Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: zip_sequences.py

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: zip_sequences.py

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: zip_sequences.py


Reviewing the code. A few questions to finalize the approach:

  1. RAM reservation: How much RAM should we reserve for the system (e.g., 816 GB), or should we use a percentage (e.g., use up to 80% of available RAM)?

  2. RAM estimation strategy:

    • a) Simple: limit concurrent jobs based on total available RAM (e.g., assume each job uses ~24 GB)
    • b) Size-based: estimate RAM per job from folder size and adjust dynamically
    • c) Hybrid: start with size-based estimates, fall back to simple limits if estimation fails
  3. Should this apply only to 7z compression, or also to zip compression?

Folder size does matter: larger folders being compressed simultaneously will use more RAM. 7z with high compression levels can use significant memory, especially for large sequences.


User (2025-11-11 01:50Z)

  1. I think 7z uses 80% by default, but if you have 3 instances trying to use 80%, therein lies the trouble.

  2. hybrid approach sounds good

  3. I'm not sure, does zip compression also

need high ram allocation?

Creating the plan. Python's zipfile is more memory-efficient than 7z (typically hundreds of MB to a few GB), so we'll focus RAM limiting on 7z and apply conservative limits to zip if needed.

{
  "plan": "# Add RAM-Based Worker Limiting to zip_sequences.py\n\n## Overview\nModify `zip_sequences.py` to limit concurrent compression jobs based on available RAM. Use a hybrid approach: estimate RAM per job from folder size for 7z compression, with fallback to simple per-job estimates.\n\n## Implementation Details\n\n### 1. Add RAM detection function\n- Create `get_available_ram()` function in `zip_sequences.py`\n- Use `psutil` if available (cross-platform), fallback to platform-specific methods (Windows: `ctypes` with `GlobalMemoryStatusEx`)\n- Return available RAM in bytes\n- Reserve ~20% of total RAM for system (leaving 80% usable, but accounting for multiple 7z instances)\n\n### 2. Estimate RAM usage per job\n- Create `estimate_ram_per_job(seq_dir: Path, seq_state: dict) -> int` function\n- For 7z: estimate based on folder size (total bytes from `seq_state`)\n  - Formula: `max(base_ram, folder_size_bytes * compression_factor)`\n  - Base RAM: ~500MB per job\n  - Compression factor: ~0.1-0.2x for 7z (7z uses ~80% of available, but we need to account for multiple jobs)\n  - For very large folders (>10GB), cap estimate at reasonable max (e.g., 8GB per job)\n- For zip: use conservative estimate (~1GB per job, zipfile is more memory-efficient)\n- Fallback: if estimation fails, use simple per-job estimate (2GB for 7z, 1GB for zip)\n\n### 3. Modify `max_workers()` function\n- Rename to `calculate_max_workers()` or extend to accept RAM constraints\n- Add parameters: `requested: int | None`, `work_items: list | None = None`\n- Calculate CPU-based limit (existing logic)\n- If `work_items` provided and using 7z:\n  - Get available RAM\n  - Estimate RAM per job for each work item\n  - Calculate max workers: `min(cpu_limit, floor(available_ram / max(estimated_ram_per_job)))`\n  - Ensure minimum of 1 worker\n- If using zip: apply conservative RAM limiting (e.g., max 4-6 workers regardless of CPU)\n- Return the minimum of CPU limit and RAM limit\n\n### 4. Update `run_zip()` function\n- Calculate work items first (existing logic)\n- Pass work items to `calculate_max_workers()` to get RAM-aware worker count\n- Log RAM-based worker limit if verbose\n- Use calculated worker count for ThreadPoolExecutor\n\n### 5. Handle missing dependencies\n- Make `psutil` optional (try/except import)\n- If `psutil` unavailable, use platform-specific fallback\n- Log warning if RAM detection fails, fall back to CPU-based limits\n\n## Files to Modify\n- `zip_sequences.py`: Add RAM detection, estimation, and worker limiting logic\n\n## Configuration\n- No config changes needed initially\n- Could add `maxRamUsage` or `ramReservePercent` to config.json later if needed\n\n## Testing Considerations\n- Test on systems with different RAM amounts (32GB, 64GB, 128GB+)\n- Test with large folders (>10GB) and small folders (<1GB)\n- Verify fallback behavior when psutil unavailable\n- Ensure minimum 1 worker is always used",
