Development Workflow

This project uses Claude Code with custom slash commands for a structured AI-assisted development workflow. The workflow follows six core activities optimized for deep learning and computer vision projects:

1. Capture Change Requests

When you have a new feature idea or encounter production issues:

/change-request Add support for batch processing multiple garment try-ons

Production Features

Tensor Validation Framework

The system includes comprehensive tensor validation to ensure production reliability:

# Automatic tensor compatibility validation
from tensor_validation_framework import safe_torch_cat, safe_groupnorm_forward

# Safe concatenation with automatic dimension fixing
result = safe_torch_cat([tensor1, tensor2], dim=1, operation_name="garment_features")

# Safe GroupNorm with channel count validation
normalized = safe_groupnorm_forward(input_tensor, groupnorm_layer, "unet_block_1")

Error Recovery Systems

Multiple fallback strategies ensure consistent operation:

Automatic Dimension Adjustment: Fix 3D/2D tensor mismatches
Channel Padding/Truncation: Handle GroupNorm channel mismatches
Model Fallback: Use dummy encoders when features fail
Graceful Degradation: Return safe defaults when all else fails

Monitoring and Logging

Comprehensive logging for production monitoring:

# Enable detailed logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Monitor tensor operations
logger.debug("[TENSOR_OP] safe_concatenate_garment_features: Success: torch.Size([2, 640, 64, 48])")
logger.warning("[SAFE_GROUPNORM] Channel mismatch: input=320, expected=640")

Troubleshooting

Tensor Validation Issues

The system includes automatic error recovery, but you can monitor validation:

# Check validation logs
tail -f app.log | grep "TENSOR_OP\|SAFE_GROUPNORM\|RECOVERY"

# Expected successful operation:
[TENSOR_OP] safe_concatenate_garment_features: Success
[SAFE_GROUPNORM] Channel validation passed: 640 channels
[RECOVERY] No recovery needed - operation successful

Common Production Issues

GPU Memory Errors:

# Enable memory optimization
export PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=max_split_size_mb:128

Model Loading Issues:

# Clear HuggingFace cache
rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/transformers/

Tensor Validation Failures:

# Check validation framework status
python -c "from tensor_validation_framework import safe_tensor_ops; print('✅ Framework loaded')"

Performance Optimization

Enable XFormers: Automatically enabled for faster attention
Use FP16: Reduces memory usage by ~50%
Optimize Images: Pre-resize to 768x1024 for consistency
Monitor Validation: Disable for maximum speed if stability is proven

Performance

Typical Performance (RTX 4090)

Cold Start: ~60 seconds (model loading + validation framework init)
Warm Inference: ~5-8 seconds per image
