Pull request overview

This PR implements a feature to detect and handle the use of the word "stream" in code submissions, aiming to prevent improper CUDA stream usage that could invalidate benchmark results. The implementation adds validation checks at multiple submission entry points (Discord bot and API) and includes a warning message in reports when stream usage is detected.

Key changes:

  • Added stream detection ("stream" in code.lower()) in Discord submission, API submission, and backend report generation
  • Discord and API paths reject submissions containing "stream", while the backend path only displays a warning
  • Added extra_text parameter to generate_report() to support custom warning messages

File Description
src/libkernelbot/report.py Added extra_text parameter to generate_report() to prepend custom text to reports; minor formatting improvements

The HTTP status code should be 400 (Bad Request) instead of 500 (Internal Server Error). A 500 status code indicates a server-side error, but this is a client-side validation error - the user submitted code that doesn't meet the requirements. Using 400 is more semantically correct and helps clients distinguish between validation failures and actual server errors.

Inconsistent error message wording: This says "Your code contains work on another stream" while backend.py:215 says "Your code contains word 'stream'". The backend.py version is clearer because it explicitly mentions that it's detecting the word "stream" in the code, not necessarily actual stream usage. Consider aligning all error messages to use the same wording for consistency.

The stream detection logic lacks test coverage. Consider adding tests to verify that:

  1. Submissions containing "stream" (case-insensitive) are rejected with appropriate HTTP status
  2. False positives like "mainstream" or "streaming" are also caught (which may or may not be desired behavior)
  3. The error message is displayed correctly
  4. Legitimate code without "stream" is not affected

The simple substring search "stream" in submission_content.lower() will match any occurrence of "stream", including false positives like:

  • Comments containing "stream" (e.g., // Note: mainstream approach)
  • String literals (e.g., print("streaming data"))
  • Variable names (e.g., data_stream, upstream)
  • Documentation

Consider either:

  1. Using a more precise pattern (e.g., regex for \bstream\b to match word boundaries) to reduce false positives
  2. Explicitly documenting that this is intentionally broad to catch all potential cases
  3. Adding a whitelist of acceptable terms containing "stream" that should not trigger rejection

The stream warning message generation and reporting logic lacks test coverage. Consider adding tests to verify that:

  1. When code contains "stream", the warning message is included in the report
  2. When code doesn't contain "stream", no warning is added
  3. The extra_text parameter is properly passed to generate_report and displayed
  4. The message is correctly formatted in the final report output

The multi-line string contains leading whitespace on each line due to indentation in the source code. Consider using textwrap.dedent() to remove this leading whitespace, or use a different string formatting approach. The current format will result in the message having extra indentation when displayed to users.

The new extra_text parameter lacks test coverage. Consider adding tests to verify that:

  1. When extra_text is provided with non-empty content, it's added to the report before system info
  2. When extra_text is empty or whitespace-only, it's not added to the report
  3. The extra_text is properly formatted in the final report output

Inconsistent behavior: The Discord submission path (leaderboard_cog.py:112-118) and API path (api_utils.py:275-279) reject submissions containing "stream", but this code path only displays a warning and allows the submission to continue. This creates an inconsistency where some submission methods block "stream" usage while others only warn.

If the intent is to disallow streams, this check should reject the submission (e.g., by raising an exception or returning early with an error). If the intent is to allow streams with a warning, the other paths should be updated to match this behavior.
