This PR significantly enhances code readability and maintainability across several key modules in the OpenFL codebase without breaking any existing functionality.

Key Improvements

Constants and Magic Values

  • Extracted magic strings and numbers into well-named constants for better maintainability
  • Added DEFAULT_EXP_PATTERN, RUNTIME_CLASS_NAME, RUN_METHOD_PATTERN and other constants
  • Centralized configuration values like TREE_SYMBOLS and WORKSPACE_CONFIG_FILE

Enhanced Documentation

  • Added comprehensive docstrings with proper formatting and structure
  • Included detailed parameter descriptions, return types, and exception information
  • Improved class-level documentation with clear attribute descriptions

Better Naming Conventions

  • Renamed methods for clarity (e.g., __get_exp_name_get_experiment_name)
  • Fixed parameter naming that shadowed Python builtins (hashhash_value)
  • Used more descriptive variable names throughout
  • Improved class naming (bcolorsTerminalColors with backward compatibility)

Type Safety and Structure

  • Added proper type annotations for better IDE support and code understanding
  • Enhanced error handling with specific exception types and clear messages
  • Improved code organization with logical grouping and cleaner helper functions

Files Modified

openfl/experimental/workflow/notebooktools/code_analyzer.py

Major refactoring of the CodeAnalyzer class:

  • Extracted constants for regex patterns and configuration values
  • Improved method naming and documentation
  • Enhanced error handling with descriptive messages
  • Better variable naming throughout the class

openfl/experimental/workflow/interface/cli/cli_helper.py

Enhanced CLI helper functions:

  • Added constants for tree symbols and path configurations
  • Improved function documentation with comprehensive parameter descriptions
  • Added proper type hints for all functions
  • Better error handling in utility functions

openfl/utilities/utils.py

Fixed code quality issues:

  • Renamed hash parameter to hash_value to avoid shadowing builtin
  • Improved documentation formatting

tests/github/experimental/workflow/LocalRuntime/testflow_exclude.py

  • Improved class naming with proper documentation
  • Maintained backward compatibility through aliasing

Benefits

  • Maintainability: Constants and clear naming make the code easier to modify
  • Readability: Enhanced documentation and structure improve code comprehension
  • Type Safety: Added type hints provide better development experience
  • Quality: Fixed code smells and followed Python best practices
  • Compatibility: All changes maintain full backward compatibility

All changes pass linting checks and maintain existing functionality while making the codebase significantly more readable and maintainable for future contributors.
