## 🎯 What Was Done

### 1. Comprehensive Docstrings

Every function now includes:
- **Description**: Clear explanation of what the function does
- **Args**: Detailed parameter descriptions with types and defaults
- **Returns**: Return value types and descriptions
- **Raises**: Exceptions that can be thrown
- **Examples**: Practical usage examples
- **Notes**: Important implementation details

**Example**:
```python
def predict_image(image, model, processor, top_k=5):
    """
    Perform inference on an image and return top-k predicted classes with probabilities.
    
    This function takes a PIL Image, preprocesses it using the model's processor,
    performs a forward pass through the model, and returns the top-k most likely
    class predictions along with their confidence scores.
    
    Args:
        image (PIL.Image): Input image to classify. Should be in RGB format.
        model (ViTForImageClassification): Pre-trained ViT model for inference.
        processor (ViTImageProcessor): Image processor for preprocessing.
        top_k (int, optional): Number of top predictions to return. Defaults to 5.
    
    Returns:
        tuple: A tuple containing three elements:
            - top_probs (np.ndarray): Array of shape (top_k,) with confidence scores
            - top_indices (np.ndarray): Array of shape (top_k,) with class indices
            - top_labels (list): List of length top_k with human-readable class names
    
    Raises:
        Exception: If prediction fails due to invalid image, model issues, or memory errors.
    
    Example:
        >>> from PIL import Image
        >>> image = Image.open("cat.jpg")
        >>> probs, indices, labels = predict_image(image, model, processor, top_k=3)
        >>> print(f"Top prediction: {labels[0]} with {probs[0]:.2%} confidence")
        Top prediction: tabby cat with 87.34% confidence
    """
```

### 2. Inline Comments

Added explanatory comments for:
- **Complex logic**: Tensor manipulations, attention extraction
- **Non-obvious operations**: Device placement, normalization steps
- **Edge cases**: Handling constant heatmaps, batch dimensions
- **Performance considerations**: no_grad() context, memory optimization

**Example from explainer.py**:
```python
# Apply softmax to convert logits to probabilities
# dim=-1 applies softmax across the class dimension
probabilities = F.softmax(logits, dim=-1)[0]  # [0] removes batch dimension

# Get the top-k highest probability predictions
# Returns both values (probabilities) and indices (class IDs)
top_probs, top_indices = torch.topk(probabilities, top_k)
```

### 3. Module-Level Documentation

Each module now has a header docstring describing:
- Module purpose
- Key functionality
- Author and license information

**Example**:
```python
"""
Predictor Module

This module handles image classification predictions using Vision Transformer models.
It provides functions for making predictions and creating visualization plots of results.

Author: ViT-XAI-Dashboard Team
License: MIT
"""
```

## 🎨 Code Style Standards

### Docstring Format (Google Style)

```python
def function_name(param1, param2, optional_param=default):
    """
    Brief one-line description.
    
    More detailed multi-line description explaining the function's
    purpose, behavior, and any important implementation details.
    
    Args:
        param1 (type): Description of param1.
        param2 (type): Description of param2.
        optional_param (type, optional): Description. Defaults to default.
    
    Returns:
        type: Description of return value.
    
    Raises:
        ExceptionType: When this exception is raised.
    
    Example:
        >>> result = function_name("value1", "value2")
        >>> print(result)
        Expected output
    
    Note:
        Additional important information.
    """
```

### Inline Comment Guidelines

```python
# Good: Explains WHY, not just WHAT
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")  # Use GPU if available for faster inference

# Avoid: Redundant comments
x = x + 1  # Add 1 to x

# Good: Explains complex logic
if heatmap.max() > heatmap.min():
    # Normalize using min-max scaling to bring values to [0, 1] range
    # This ensures consistent color mapping in visualizations
    return (heatmap - heatmap.min()) / (heatmap.max() - heatmap.min())
```

### Import Organization

```python
# Standard library imports
import os
import sys
from pathlib import Path

# Third-party imports
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import torch
from PIL import Image

# Local imports
from src.model_loader import load_model_and_processor
from src.predictor import predict_image
```
