📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe tokenizer package adds BPE and SentencePiece loading, encoding, and decoding. Dataset tokenisation writes token IDs and a manifest with hashes and a Merkle root. Verification checks the tokenised output and, when supplied, related input, tokenizer, and manifest-chain data. ChangesTokenizer and dataset pipeline

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Tokenization now produces verifiable binaries and manifests. If the manifest path names the input file or the output binary, writing the manifest can destroy the input dataset or replace the tokenized output. Separately, if another process can change the output directory, it could make the output write truncate a different file. Add guards against both cases before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The pipeline can record provenance from files that changed after encoding, while interrupted or overlapping writes can damage dataset files. Demonstrated exposure is limited to local filesystem operations; no cross-service access or privilege escalation was established. Retained concerns

- Line 136: In the token ID conversion flow, validate each ID against the range
supported by `np_dtype` before constructing the array. Raise a `ValueError` if
any ID is negative or exceeds the dtype’s maximum, then preserve the existing
`np.array` conversion for valid IDs.
- Around line 157-162: In the manifest-writing flow, require a tokenizer
artifact directory whenever write_manifest is true, and let
hash_tokenizer_config failures propagate instead of logging and continuing with
a missing hash. Preserve write_manifest=False as the explicit path that does not
require provenance or create a manifest.
- Around line 106-118: Update tokenize_dataset to reject input and output paths
that refer to the same file, including symlink and hard-link aliases, before
opening the output for writing; preserve the existing behavior for distinct
paths.

… require tokenizer provenance for manifests
|
pushed the updates for coderabbit. added samefile rejection (including symlink and hardlink aliases) before opening output files to avoid truncating input text, added explicit token id bounds validation ([0, max_val] for uint16/uint32) preventing negative or overflow ids, and enforced valid tokenizer artifact directory requirement when write_manifest=True so manifest provenance is guaranteed. all 27 unit tests passing green. |

Reject manifest paths that alias a data file.
If manifest_path refers to output_path, the manifest write at Line 214 replaces the tokenized binary with JSON after its hash is computed. If it refers to input_path, that write destroys the input dataset. Before opening the output, reject manifest paths that alias either data file, including symlink and hard-link aliases.

Prevent a path swap before opening the output.
If another process can write to the output directory, it can replace output_path with a symlink after this check. The "wb" open at Line 140 then truncates the symlink target, including input_path. Write to an exclusively created temporary file and replace the output path without following an existing symlink. Keep the input read and hash tied to the opened input file. Based on learnings, a pathname check does not protect a later open against replacement.

Addressed Issues:
Closes #61
Addresses #51, #52, #55
Summary:
Currently, the pipeline has a cryptographic verification gap between preprocessed text and model training. Tokenizer training saves configuration artifacts, but does not tokenize the cleaned text or produce verifiable tokenized artifacts.
This PR implements the end-to-end deterministic dataset tokenization and Merkle verification pipeline:
Additional Notes:
All 24 tokenizer unit tests pass cleanly. CLI commands verified end-to-end.
Checklist
All changes, algorithms, and tests have been verified locally with 100% test pass rates.
