closes #76

when preprocessing xml dumps, pages are written continuously to wiki_clean.txt while checkpoints are saved periodically every 1000 pages. if an interruption or crash happens between checkpoint intervals, extra pages were already appended to the output file. on resume, because start_page resumed from the checkpoint but the output was simply opened in append mode, those intermediate pages got appended again, creating duplicated text and corrupting downstream hashes and merkle roots. on top of that, _save_checkpoint was passing input_path as a Path object instead of its sha256 digest, which caused _load_checkpoint to always fail identity validation and wipe progress.

this PR tracks file_offset alongside pages_processed in the checkpoint metadata and handles clean recovery. it records out.tell() whenever checkpoint writes occur (both periodically and on clean exception exit). on resume, it safely validates the input identity and truncates the existing output file to file_offset using r+b before reopening in append mode, discarding any uncommitted trailing writes from crashes. it also properly stores the sha256 hash in input_identity so valid checkpoints actually resume rather than falling back to fresh runs, while gracefully restarting fresh if the checkpoint or output file is missing, modified, or corrupted.

added regression tests in Legacy/tests/test_util.py covering offset truncation with duplicate prevention and invalid checkpoint fallback handling. verified with pytest, 24/24 passing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Resuming XML text extraction now discards output written after the last saved checkpoint, preventing incomplete results from being duplicated or retained.
    • Invalid checkpoints and checkpoints for a different input now trigger a fresh start, replacing stale output.
    • Checkpoints are removed after successful completion. These changes help interrupted processing resume more reliably and keep extracted results consistent.

…offset in checkpoint

- Store file_offset alongside pages_processed in checkpoint metadata
- Truncate output file to checkpoint file_offset before appending on resume to discard partial uncommitted writes
- Store SHA-256 hash instead of Path object in input_identity so identity checks pass on resume
- Add regression tests covering output truncation on resume and fallback on invalid checkpoints

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

XML extraction checkpoints now include the output byte offset. On resume, extraction truncates output to the saved offset before continuing. Periodic and failure checkpoints record the current offset and input identity.

Changes

XML extraction resume

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkpoint offset contract
Legacy/openverifiablellm/utils.py
Checkpoint loading returns a zero offset when no checkpoint exists. It rejects invalid offsets and output files shorter than the saved offset. Saving a checkpoint now persists an optional output offset.
Resume and recovery flow
Legacy/openverifiablellm/utils.py, Legacy/tests/test_util.py
Resume truncates output to the saved offset before appending. Periodic and failure checkpoints save the current offset and input identity. Tests cover removing uncommitted output during resume and starting fresh when the input identity does not match.

Explanation

Issue #76 requires checkpoint progress and output progress to stay aligned during recovery. The periodic path records out.tell(), and the regression test checks truncation of uncommitted output. However, if processing raises an exception, the nested with closes out before the exception handler runs. The handler then saves file_offset as 0 alongside positive pages_written. On resume, extract_text_from_xml() truncates the output to 0 and skips those pages. This loses committed page content during exception recovery.

- Around line 370-372: In the output-writing flow, capture and retain the latest
valid output offset while `out` is open; update both exception handlers to save
that checkpoint instead of calling `tell()` on a closed stream. If no new offset
was captured, preserve the previous valid checkpoint alongside `pages_written`.
- Line 213: Update checkpoint-resume handling around `file_offset` to require
that the saved offset is present and has an integer type that excludes booleans;
if it is missing or invalid, start fresh instead of resuming or truncating
output.
- Around line 229-230: Before resuming from the checkpoint, verify the committed
output prefix using a stored digest, not only its size. If the prefix digest
differs, discard the checkpoint and start fresh; retain the existing size
validation for the output_path and file_offset checks.

pushed the updates for coderabbit. wrapped the stream writer with in-stream exception handling so out is flushed and tell() captures the exact offset while the file stream is still open, rather than attempting to inspect a closed stream. also enforced strict int type checks excluding booleans for file_offset and pages_processed, and added output prefix sha256 validation so any modified output prefix triggers a clean fresh restart. added regression tests for the boolean/hash mismatch paths and exception offset persistence, all 26 tests passing green.
