sarf-atlas 1.0.1

Paper-style workflow preparation for Arabic morphology probing experiments.

Sarf Atlas

Sarf Atlas is a backend-agnostic workflow framework for Arabic morphology probing experiments. It organizes datasets, prompts, splits, diagnostics, backend artifact manifests, baseline comparisons, and report scaffolds.

Sarf organizes.
Backends extract.
Auditors compare.

Current package version: 1.0.0. Latest previously verified PyPI release: sarf-atlas==0.4.0.

What Sarf Is

• A CLI for preparing Arabic morphology probing workflows.
• A small schema layer for morphology rows, split metadata, diagnostics, and imported backend artifact manifests.
• A backend-neutral adapter surface for Ember, llama.cpp-derived files, HF/Transformers outputs, or other precomputed artifacts.
• A place to run lightweight standard-library baselines such as majority and character n-gram comparisons.

What Sarf Is Not

• It is not a model inference engine.
• It does not train probes in the base package.
• It does not extract hidden states by itself.
• It does not vendor Ember, llama.cpp, Transformers, or model weights.
• It does not claim Paper 1 reproduction from toy or mock artifacts.

Quickstart

Install from PyPI once the target release is published:

pip install sarf-atlas

For local development:

python -m pip install -e .

Create a project layout:

sarf init --out-dir /tmp/sarf-demo --name demo

Generate a self-contained toy workflow:

sarf example-workflow --out-dir /tmp/sarf-example
sarf summarize-run --manifest /tmp/sarf-example/artifacts/imported/sarf_artifact_manifest.placeholder.json

When working from a source checkout, run a tiny paper-style workflow:

sarf validate-dataset examples/paper_style/tiny_morphology.jsonl
sarf make-experiment examples/paper_style/experiment.toml --out /tmp/sarf-demo/run
sarf validate-labels examples/paper_style/experiment.toml --out /tmp/sarf-demo/labels.json
sarf summarize-splits examples/paper_style/tiny_morphology.jsonl /tmp/sarf-demo/run/split_metadata.json --out /tmp/sarf-demo/splits.json
sarf make-baselines examples/paper_style/experiment.toml --out /tmp/sarf-demo/baselines
sarf make-probe-config examples/paper_style/experiment.toml --out /tmp/sarf-demo/probe_config.toml
sarf report /tmp/sarf-demo/run --out /tmp/sarf-demo/report.md

Run the fuller mock-backed Paper 1-style example:

cat examples/paper1_reproduction/README.md

That example exercises validation, prompt generation, split diagnostics, tokenization diagnostics, artifact import, probe config generation, baseline comparison, and report output with deterministic toy data.

Stable CLI Surface

The 1.0 command contract classifies the public commands in docs/command_contract.md.

Stable-track commands include:

• sarf init
• sarf example-workflow
• sarf validate-dataset
• sarf make-prompts
• sarf make-splits
• sarf make-experiment
• sarf import-artifacts
• sarf summarize-run
• sarf validate-labels
• sarf summarize-splits
• sarf make-probe-config
• sarf make-baselines
• sarf run-baseline
• sarf summarize-baseline
• sarf tokenization-diagnostics
• sarf report

Backend doctor commands are intentionally marked experimental because they depend on optional local tools.

Schemas

The schema v1 contract is documented in docs/artifact_schema_guide.md.

Stable contracts:

• Artifact manifest schema v1.
• Dataset row schema v1.
• Split metadata schema v1.
• Tokenization diagnostics schema v1.
• Baseline artifact schema v1.

Important JSON outputs include numeric schema_version fields. Existing string schema identifiers remain for compatibility where they already existed.

Optional Backends

Sarf can inspect optional backend availability:

sarf backends list
sarf backend llama-cpp doctor
sarf backend ember doctor

These checks are diagnostic only. Base Sarf stays lightweight and can still organize workflows and import file-based artifacts when no local backend is installed.
