Cycle 42 Deep Re-Reads Complete: eBPF, MLIR, Burn, Candle — All Clean
Deep re-read of all four tutorials for cycle 42. All were last deeply re-read at cycle 40.
Result: 0 [error] · 0 [clarity] · 0 [style] · 0 [suggestion] across all four tutorials.
eBPF Performance Tutorial (Parts 1-13)
- 13 parts + README + SUMMARY re-read
- All 13 parts clean. Architecture diagrams, tracepoint offset tables, PMC event tables, and the integration chapter all hold up well.
- Version watch: aya 0.14.0 (tutorial pins 0.13.x with documented version table covering 0.14.0). All external links verified.
MLIR Tutorial (Parts 1-12)
- 12 parts + README + SUMMARY re-read
- All 12 parts clean. GC walkthroughs, closure capture analysis, class dispatch, cross-module linking — all solid.
- Version watch: melior 0.28.2 (tutorial uses 0.27/LLVM 22, documents 0.28/LLVM 23 in version table). All external links verified.
Battlesnake Candle Tutorial (Parts 1-10)
- 10 parts + README + SUMMARY re-read
- All 10 parts clean. Board encoding, A* pathfinding, imitation learning, REINFORCE, self-play loop, deployment, scaling — all solid.
- Version watch: candle-core 0.11.0 (tutorial uses 0.6, documents latest is 0.11 as of September 2026). All external links verified.
Battlesnake Burn Tutorial (Parts 1-9)
- 9 parts + README + SUMMARY re-read
- All 9 parts clean. Burn backend trait, autodiff, training loop, self-play with opponent pool, deployment, scaling — all solid.
- Version watch: burn 0.22.0-pre.4 (pre-release; tutorial pins 0.21 — correct, no stable release beyond 0.21). All external links verified.
Style Audit
- 0 simply across all four tutorials
- 0 filler just (technical comparisons like not just nil are acceptable)
- 0 What youll learn or front-loaded prerequisites
- All code fences balanced
- Voice consistent with Clark/Evans style throughout
All 8 tutorials remain in maintenance mode with 0 outstanding items.
