review-transform

name: review-transform description: Run the full shared Codex review checklist against a transform. Use when the user asks to review, audit, or check a transform for correctness, performance, or API consistency.

Review Transform

Run these checks in order. Report issues with severity: 🔴 Critical, 🟡 Important, 🟢 Suggestion.

1. Dead Code (🔴 Critical)

• Any methods defined but never called within the class or externally
• Unused imports at the top of the file
• Unreachable branches (if False:, conditions that can never be true)

2. Correctness

• Mathematical/logical errors in the transform
• Off-by-one errors in coordinate handling
• Incorrect dtype preservation (uint8 in → uint8 out, float32 in → float32 out)
• BBox/keypoint coordinate correctness after spatial transforms
• Do not request 2D grayscale compatibility for Compose paths: images and volumes are channel-last with explicit channels ((H,W,C), (N,H,W,C), (D,H,W,C), (N,D,H,W,C)), and grayscale is (H,W,1).
• Never auto-detect bbox type from column count — type comes from BboxParams.bbox_type
• For OBB: never use raw cv2.minAreaRect output; use cv2.boxPoints then polygons_to_obb

3. API Consistency (🔴 Critical)

• No "Random" prefix in class name
• Range params use _range suffix: brightness_range, not brightness_limit
• fill not fill_value, fill_mask not fill_mask_value
• border_mode not mode or pad_mode
• No default values in InitSchema (except Pydantic discriminator fields)
• No default values in apply_* method args (other than self, **params)
• All InitSchema fields use Annotated[...] validators where applicable
• No get_transform_init_args_names() override — the base class auto-detects from __init__ via MRO

4. Random Number Generation (🔴 Critical)

• All randomness lives in get_params or get_params_dependent_on_data, NOT in apply_*
• Uses self.py_random for simple ops (faster)
• Uses self.random_generator only when numpy arrays are needed
• No np.random.* or random.* module-level calls anywhere in the class

5. Type Safety (🔴 Critical)

• All methods have complete type hints
• ImageType used for image/mask/volume params and return types (not np.ndarray)
• np.ndarray used for bboxes and keypoints only
• No unsafe type conversions or missing dtype handling

6. Performance (🟡 Important)

Priority order to check:

1. cv2.LUT used for pixel lookup operations (fastest)
2. albucore.resize not cv2.resize for image resizing (handles 5+ channels, INTER_AREA, etc.)
3. cv2 over numpy for image ops where applicable
4. Vectorized numpy instead of Python loops
5. In-place ops where safe (avoid unnecessary .copy())
6. No repeated array allocations in tight loops
7. Expensive computations cached in get_params / get_params_dependent_on_data

Batch Optimization Checks

• Custom apply_to_images if expensive setup (kernels, LUTs, gradient maps) can be computed once per batch
• No redundant ndim == 4 checks on images — they're always 4D in batch context
• No 2D grayscale branches in Compose functional paths — grayscale images are (H,W,1)
• No reshape trick: Do NOT reshape (N,H,W,1) to (H,W,N) for cv2 — 2–4× slower due to non-contiguous copy + sequential channel processing

Flag any violations with a concrete speedup suggestion.

7. Documentation (🟡 Important)

• Docstring has Args, Targets, Image types sections
• Examples section present (plural, not "Example")
• Examples follow the standard pattern with image, mask, bboxes, keypoints
• Examples use A.Compose with BboxParams and KeypointParams
• No --- sequences in docstring (pre-commit will catch this but check anyway)

8. Test Coverage (🟡 Important)

• Transform appears in get_dual_transforms() or get_image_only_transforms() in tests/utils.py
• Tested with uint8 and float32
• Tested with 1, 3, and N channels (if applicable)
• Edge cases covered (empty bboxes, zero-area regions, etc.)
• Tests use seed=137 (not 42)
• Tests use np.testing assertions (not plain assert)

9. Code Quality (🟢 Suggestion)

• No unused imports
• No overly complex logic that could be simplified
• Relative parameters (fractions) preferred over fixed pixel values
• Consistent style with similar existing transforms

Reporting Format

## Review: <TransformName>

### 🔴 Critical
- **Dead code**: `_unused_method` is never called (line 42)
- **API**: Parameter `fill_value` should be `fill`

### 🟡 Important
- **Performance**: Use `cv2.LUT` instead of numpy indexing for pixel mapping (5-10x faster)
- **Docs**: Missing `Examples` section in docstring

### 🟢 Suggestions
- Consider using relative `noise_range` instead of absolute pixel values
