🏗️ ARCHITECTURE HIGHLIGHTS

4-Level Certification System

💎 Platinum  │ Formal verification, academic validation, community-proven
🥇 Gold      │ 100% coverage, bit-exact, SIMD-optimized, complete docs
🥈 Silver    │ >90% coverage, no leaks, production-ready
🥉 Bronze    │ Compiles, basic tests, minimal docs

9-Stage Pipeline

1. Static Analysis     → cpplint, clang-tidy, complexity
2. Compilation         → Multi-compiler, zero warnings
3. Unit Tests          → 100% coverage requirement
4. Integration Tests   → Component interaction
5. Performance         → Baseline comparison, regression
6. Golden Tests        → Bit-exact validation
7. Memory Analysis     → Valgrind, ASan, MSan
8. Thread Safety       → TSan, Helgrind
9. Documentation       → 100% API coverage

Multi-Dimensional Quality

Correctness    → Zero bugs, math accuracy, spec compliance
Performance    → Optimal complexity, cache-friendly, SIMD
Code Quality   → Readable, documented, style-compliant
Robustness     → Edge cases, error handling, thread-safe
Pedagogical    → Self-contained, progressive, exemplary

🐛 KNOWN ISSUES / TODO

  1. Stage Implementations - Most stages are stubs

  2. Solution: Implement one by one with tests

  3. External Tool Integration - valgrind, clang-tidy not integrated yet

  4. Solution: System calls with output parsing

  5. Golden Data Handling - Simplified currently

  6. Solution: Proper numpy/.wav file loading

  7. Dependency Resolution - Topological sort not implemented

  8. Solution: Add proper DAG traversal

  9. Unit Tests - Framework itself not tested

  10. Solution: Add Catch2 test suite

  11. Cross-Platform - Some code is platform-specific

  12. Solution: Add proper #ifdef guards

🎯 SUCCESS CRITERIA (TAREA 1)

DONE when all checked: - [x] Core interfaces defined - [x] Quality criteria system working - [x] Pipeline orchestration working - [x] CLI tool functional - [ ] All 5 validators implemented - [ ] All 9 stages implemented - [ ] Framework compiles cleanly - [ ] Can certify a simple implementation - [ ] Generates reports correctly - [ ] Unit tests pass (>90% coverage)
