Configure

Configure CodeEvolve default settings. Writes to .codeevolve/config.yaml at the project root.

python -c "
from pathlib import Path
p = Path('.codeevolve/config.yaml')
if p.exists():
    print('Current settings:')
    print(p.read_text())
else:
    print('No config file yet.')
"

Show the current settings (or note that none exist yet). Then ask the user two questions (objective is fixed at time in v1.0):

1. •

   Note on objective — In v1.0, the only supported objective is time (wall-clock speedup). Space and balanced objectives require a validated memory measurement protocol and are planned for v2.0. Always write default_objective: time.

2. •

   Default iteration count — How many evolution iterations per run? Default: 20. R6 finding: most problems reach optimal within 10 iterations; 20 gives headroom. Range: 10–100.

3. •

   Minimum speedup threshold — Results below this are reported as "no significant improvement". Default: 1.1. R5 finding: measurement noise floor is 1.03x; 1.1x is safely above it.

After the user answers, write .codeevolve/config.yaml:

python -c "
from pathlib import Path
Path('.codeevolve').mkdir(exist_ok=True)
Path('.codeevolve/config.yaml').write_text('''# CodeEvolve project configuration
default_objective: time
default_iterations: ITERATIONS
min_speedup_threshold: THRESHOLD
''')
print('Saved.')
"

Confirm: "Settings saved to .codeevolve/config.yaml. These will be used as defaults for future /codeevolve:optimize runs."
