"""

This module defines a generic, sequential data processing pipeline framework, primarily designed for

transforming robotics data (observations, actions, rewards, etc.).



The core components are:

- ProcessorStep: An abstract base class for a single data transformation operation.

- ProcessorStepRegistry: A mechanism to register and retrieve ProcessorStep classes by name.

- DataProcessorPipeline: A class that chains multiple ProcessorStep instances together to form a complete

  data processing workflow. It integrates with the Hugging Face Hub for easy sharing and versioning of

  pipelines, including their configuration and state.

- Specialized abstract ProcessorStep subclasses (e.g., ObservationProcessorStep, ActionProcessorStep)

  to simplify the creation of steps that target specific parts of a data transition.

        This method implements a simplified loading pipeline with intelligent migration detection:



        **Simplified Loading Strategy**:

        1. **Config Loading** (_load_config):

           - **Directory**: Load specified config_filename from directory

           - **Single file**: Load file directly (config_filename ignored)

           - **Hub repository**: Download specified config_filename from Hub



        2. **Config Validation** (_validate_loaded_config):

           - Format validation: Ensure config is valid processor format

           - Migration detection: Guide users to migrate old LeRobot models

           - Clear errors: Provide actionable error messages



        3. **Step Construction** (_build_steps_with_overrides):

           - Class resolution: Registry lookup or dynamic imports

           - Override merging: User parameters override saved config

           - State loading: Load .safetensors files for stateful steps



        4. **Override Validation** (_validate_overrides_used):

           - Ensure all user overrides were applied (catch typos)

           - Provide helpful error messages with available keys



        **Migration Detection**:

        - **Smart detection**: Analyzes JSON files to detect old LeRobot models

        - **Precise targeting**: Avoids false positives on other HuggingFace models

        - **Clear guidance**: Provides exact migration command to run

        - **Error mode**: Always raises ProcessorMigrationError for clear user action



        **Loading Examples**:

        ```python

        # Directory loading

        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("/models/my_model", config_filename="processor.json")



        # Single file loading

        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(

            "/models/my_model/processor.json", config_filename="processor.json"

        )



        # Hub loading

        pipeline = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("user/repo", config_filename="processor.json")



        # Multiple configs (preprocessor/postprocessor)

        preprocessor = DataProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained(

            "model", config_filename="policy_postprocessor.json"

        )

        ```



        **Override System**:

        - **Key matching**: Use registry names or class names as override keys

        - **Config merging**: User overrides take precedence over saved config

        - **Validation**: Ensure all override keys match actual steps (catch typos)

        - **Example**: overrides={"NormalizeStep": {"device": "cuda"}}



        Args:

            pretrained_model_name_or_path: The identifier of the repository on the Hugging Face Hub,

                a path to a local directory, or a path to a single config file.

            config_filename: The name of the pipeline's JSON configuration file. Always required

                to prevent ambiguity when multiple configs exist (e.g., preprocessor vs postprocessor).

            force_download: Whether to force (re)downloading the files.

            resume_download: Whether to resume a previously interrupted download.

            proxies: A dictionary of proxy servers to use.

            token: The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for private Hub repositories.

            cache_dir: The path to a specific cache folder to store downloaded files.

            local_files_only: If True, avoid downloading files from the Hub.

             Example: {"registry_name": "normalize_step"} -> Get registered class

           - **Else use "class" field**: Dynamic import from full module path

             Example: {"class": "lerobot.processor.normalize.NormalizeStep"}

           - **Result**: (step_class, step_key) where step_key is used for overrides



        2. **Step Instantiation** (via _instantiate_step):

           - **Merge configs**: saved_config + user_overrides

           - **Override priority**: User overrides take precedence over saved config

           - **Example**: saved={"mean": 0.0}, override={"mean": 1.0} -> final={"mean": 1.0}

           - **Result**: Instantiated ProcessorStep object



        3. **State Loading** (via _load_step_state):

           - **If step has "state_file"**: Load tensor state from .safetensors

           - **Local first**: Check base_path/state_file.safetensors

           - **Hub fallback**: Download state file if not found locally

           - **Optional**: Only load if step has load_state_dict method



        4. **Override Tracking**:

           - **Track used overrides**: Remove step_key from remaining set

           - **Purpose**: Validate all user overrides were applied (detect typos)



        **Error Handling**:

        1. **If remaining_override_keys is empty**: All overrides were used -> Success

           - **Early return**: No validation needed

           - **Normal case**: User provided correct override keys



        2. **If remaining_override_keys has entries**: Some overrides unused -> Error

           - **Root cause**: User provided keys that don't match any step

           - **Common issues**:

             a. Typos in step names ("NormalizStep" vs "NormalizeStep")

             b. Using wrong key type (class name vs registry name)

             c. Step doesn't exist in saved pipeline



        **Helpful Error Generation**:

        - **Extract available keys**: Build list of valid override keys from config

          a. **Registry steps**: Use "registry_name" directly

          b. **Import steps**: Extract class name from "class" field

          a. Invalid keys provided by user

          b. List of valid keys they can use

          c. Guidance about registry vs class names



        **Override Key Resolution Rules**:

        - Steps with "registry_name": Use registry_name for overrides

        This method implements smart migration detection to avoid false positives:



        **Decision Logic**:

        1. **No JSON files found**: Return False

           - **Reason**: Empty directory or only non-config files

           - **Example**: Directory with only .safetensors, .md files

           - **Action**: No migration needed



        2. **JSON files exist**: Analyze each file

           - **Goal**: Determine if ANY file is a valid processor config

           - **Process**:

             a. Try to parse each .json file

             b. Skip files with JSON parse errors (malformed)

             c. Check if parsed config passes _is_processor_config()

           - **If ANY valid processor found**: Return False (no migration)

           - **If NO valid processors found**: Return True (migration needed)



        **Examples**:

        - **No migration**: ["processor.json", "config.json"] where processor.json is valid

        - **Migration needed**: ["config.json", "train.json"] where both are model configs

        - **No migration**: [] (empty directory)

        - **Migration needed**: ["old_model_config.json"] with old LeRobot format



        **Why this works**:

        - **Precise detection**: Only suggests migration for actual old LeRobot models

        - **Avoids false positives**: Won't trigger on other HuggingFace model types

        2. **Step identifier**: Must have either "class" OR "registry_name"
