Feb 2 dev log: Handwritten notes > digital for brainstorming

Today's progress:
- FigRecipe → scitex.plt integration
- OpenAlex API support
- scitex-cloud staging
- openalex-local FTS indexing complete (250M+ works searchable locally)

Feb 2 dev log: Integrating FigRecipe with scitex.plt for declarative publication-ready figures

Also working on:
- scitex visualizer UI refresh
- OpenAlex API support
- scitex-cloud staging

Handwritten notes still beat digital for brainstorming

#Python #OpenScience

[Yusuke Watanabe @SciTeX_AI]

Big milestone: openalex-local now has full-text search indexing complete

250M+ academic works searchable locally without API rate limits. Combined with crossref-local, that's serious offline research capability

Building the infrastructure for AI-assisted literature review

[Yusuke Watanabe @SciTeX_AI]

The dashboard compares:
- pyproject.toml version
- Installed package version
- Git tags
- PyPI published version
- Remote host installations

Color-coded status: OK, Unreleased, Mismatch, Outdated

Part of the SciTeX ecosystem for reproducible research.

[Yusuke Watanabe @SciTeX_AI]

Built a real-time version dashboard that tracks 8 packages across 5 environments (local, git, PyPI, hosts, GitHub).

Instantly spots version mismatches, unreleased changes, and sync issues.

No more "works on my machine" surprises.
