Subject: [PATCH 01/11]   Phase 4: Integrate with rfi_toolbox - Add forward
 imports
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

  SAM-RFI now depends on rfi_toolbox for shared utilities.

  ## Changes

  **src/samrfi/data/__init__.py**:
  - Forward import MSLoader, Preprocessor, GPUPreprocessor from rfi_toolbox
  - Forward import TorchDataset, BatchWriter from rfi_toolbox.datasets
  - Keep SAM2-specific modules (SAMDataset, AdaptivePatcher, GPU utilities)

  **src/samrfi/evaluation/__init__.py**:
  - Forward import all metrics from rfi_toolbox.evaluation
  - Forward import inject_synthetic_data from rfi_toolbox.io
  - All core metrics now shared via rfi_toolbox

  **src/samrfi/data_generation/__init__.py**:
  - Forward import SyntheticDataGenerator from rfi_toolbox
  - Keep MSDataGenerator (SAM2-specific)

  **pyproject.toml**:
  - Added note about rfi_toolbox dependency

  ## Testing

  ✓ All imports work: MSLoader, Preprocessor, metrics, SyntheticDataGenerator
  ✓ Backward compatibility maintained via forward imports
  ✓ No breaking changes for existing SAM-RFI code

  ## Status

  - rfi_toolbox: Phases 1-3 complete (commit 6d8d29f)
  - SAM-RFI: Phase 4 complete (this commit)

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] Remove rfi_toolbox re-exports from samrfi.data - import
 directly from rfi_toolbox

- Removes circular import issues by not loading rfi_toolbox at samrfi import time
- Tests that don't need rfi_toolbox (e.g., test_errors.py) won't trigger its initialization
- Updated all imports to use rfi_toolbox directly:
  - from rfi_toolbox.preprocessing import Preprocessor
  - from rfi_toolbox.datasets import BatchWriter, TorchDataset
  - from rfi_toolbox.io import MSLoader
- Clearer separation of SAM-specific vs shared utilities

- Same fix as previous commit - remove rfi_toolbox re-exports
- Import directly: from rfi_toolbox.data_generation import SyntheticDataGenerator
- Prevents rfi_toolbox initialization when importing samrfi

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] Remove rfi_toolbox re-exports from samrfi.evaluation +
 add import smoke tests

- Removed all rfi_toolbox.evaluation re-exports from samrfi.evaluation
- Updated test imports to use rfi_toolbox.evaluation directly
- Added comprehensive import smoke tests (test_aaa_imports.py) that:
  - Run first to catch import issues early
  - Verify samrfi imports don't trigger rfi_toolbox initialization
  - Test rfi_toolbox imports work without circular dependencies
  - Verify import order independence
  - Provide clear error messages for debugging

This completes the removal of all rfi_toolbox re-exports from samrfi.
