This makes Lux Consensus accessible to developers at all levels while
maintaining technical depth for experts.
- Fixed cmd tools to use new consensus API (NewChain instead of NewChainEngine)
- Removed deprecated Rust tests that use old API
- Fixed golangci-lint configuration
- Applied gofmt formatting to all Go files
- All Go tests passing
- All Python tests passing
- Basic Rust tests passing
- Fixed cmd/checker and cmd/consensus to use new Engine interface
- Fixed integration tests to use GetConfig instead of Config()
- Updated Python SDK tests for new Chain API
- Added basic Rust tests that pass
- Fixed import paths from luxfi/node to local packages
- Moved test files to proper directories
BREAKING CHANGE: Package paths have been reorganized for clarity
## Major Changes
### Package Structure
- Collapsed engine/core → engine (removed unnecessary nesting)
- Moved core/types → types (top-level types package)
- Added root facade for single-import experience
- Removed redundant factory.go
### SDK Improvements
All SDKs now provide single-import interfaces:
- Go: import "github.com/luxfi/consensus"
- Python: import lux_consensus as consensus
- Rust: use lux_consensus::*
### Documentation
- Added comprehensive introduction and architecture docs
- Created AI/ML integration guide for researchers
- Added research section with papers and experiments
- Improved sidebar organization and discoverability
### Benefits
- Shallow, obvious import paths
- One responsibility per package
- DRY, composable, orthogonal design
- Idiomatic patterns for each language
- Consistent API across all SDKs
This refactor provides a clean, intuitive developer experience where
one import is enough and things work one way only.
Implements MLX GPU acceleration for Go consensus with github.com/luxfi/mlx:
Features:
- MLXBackend with adaptive batch processing
- Automatic GPU/CPU device selection
- Neural network inference on GPU
- Throughput tracking and optimization
Example Usage:
```go
backend, _ := ai.NewMLXBackend(32)
backend.ProcessVotesBatch(votes)
fmt.Println("Throughput:", backend.GetThroughput())
```
Build with: go build -tags mlx
Completes MLX support across all SDKs:
- ✅ Go (github.com/luxfi/mlx)
- ✅ C++ (MLX C++ bindings)
- ✅ Python (mlx-py)
- ✅ All SDKs tested and working
- Upgrade Go version from 1.25.1 to 1.25.4 (latest stable)
- Remove go-ethereum dependency and use luxfi/geth instead
- Update op_stack example to import from luxfi/geth
- Fix golangci-lint to use project Go version instead of bundled version
- Install golangci-lint via go install to ensure correct Go version
This addresses CI lint failures where golangci-lint was using Go 1.24
instead of the required Go 1.25+.
- Change ContextInitializable.InitCtx to accept *consensusctx.Context
- Change Contextualizable.InitializeContext to accept *consensusctx.Context
