Replaced O(N*M) nested loops with O(1) dictionary lookups in material_extractor.py and rag_indexer.py.

  • What: Pre-computed a dictionary mapping exercise_label to the corresponding solution object before iterating over exercises.
  • Why: Reduces time complexity from O(N*M) to O(N) when mapping exercises to their solutions.
  • Impact: Significantly improves performance when processing files with many exercises/solutions, avoiding repetitive full-list iterations.
  • Measurement: Compare processing time on large markdown files with many exercises and solutions.

Pull request overview

Replaces nested O(N*M) loops that match exercises to solutions with pre-computed dictionaries for O(1) lookups in two files, while applying Black formatting across both files. First-match semantics are preserved by only inserting into the dictionary when the key is missing.

Changes:

  • In MaterialExtractor.get_all_exercises, build a solutions_dict per material before iterating exercises.
  • In RAGIndexer.index_materials, same pattern: build a solutions_dict per material and look up by label.
  • Add a learning note in .jules/bolt.md; apply Black-style reformatting to both Python files.
