v3 (#65)

* Improves rule number handling

Adds a fallback mechanism for retrieving rule numbers.

This ensures the system can handle cases where the primary
"Rule Number" field is missing or empty, defaulting to "Rule #"
to maintain data integrity.
Also corrects some docstring formatting.

* Improves rule processing efficiency

Avoids unnecessary rule processing by checking rule severity against the minimum configured severity level. Also ensures that results are only attached to failed objects if they exist and meet the minimum severity criteria. Addresses a potential issue where rules with no "Report Severity" column could cause errors, by considering an alternative "Severity" column.

* Adds Python compatibility inspection

Ensures that the project is compatible with Python 3 by adding a compatibility inspection setting.

This will help to identify and address any potential compatibility issues early on.

* Updates integration test URL and severity.

Updates the default URL used in the integration test to a new speckle model checker endpoint.

Changes the minimum severity level from warning to info, increasing the detail of reported results.

* Updates Model Checker documentation

Updates the documentation to reflect the shift from a spreadsheet-based rule definition to the new Model Checker Application.

Explains how to access the application, create rules, and configure automations.

Also introduces the alternative TSV file format for programmatically generating rules or version controlling rules.

-# Checker Function Development Guide
+# Checker Function Developer Guide
 
-## Setup
+This document provides technical details for developers working on the Speckle Checker Automate function.
 
-1. Install dependencies:
+## Project Overview
+
+The Checker function enables validation of Speckle objects against user-defined rules in a spreadsheet. It's designed to
+be flexible, supporting various object schemas including both v2 and v3 Speckle APIs.
+
+## Setup Development Environment
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- Poetry for dependency management
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   poetry install
+   ```
+3. Activate the virtual environment:
+   ```bash
+   poetry shell
+   ```
+
+### Test Automation Environment
+
+The project uses Speckle's [Test Automation feature](https://speckle.guide/automate/function-testing.html) to run
+integration tests against real Speckle data. This provides a sandboxed environment to validate the function's business
+logic without triggering actual automations.
+
+#### Setting Up a Test Automation
+
+1. Navigate to your Speckle project
+2. Go to the **Automations** tab
+3. Click **New Automation**
+4. Select **Create Test Automation** in the bottom left
+5. Follow the configuration steps
+
+Note: To create a test automation, you must:
+
+- Be an owner of the Speckle project
+- Have published this function to the Function Library
+- Have at least one release for the function
+
+#### Environment Configuration
+
+For local integration testing, create a `.env` file in the project root with these variables:
+
+```
+# Your Personal Access Token from Speckle
+SPECKLE_TOKEN=your_speckle_token
+
+# The Speckle server URL
+SPECKLE_SERVER_URL=https://app.speckle.systems
+
+# From the test automation URL: /projects/[project-id]/automations/[automation-id]
+SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id
+SPECKLE_AUTOMATION_ID=your_automation_id
+```
+
+This configuration allows the test suite to:
+
+1. Connect to your test automation via the Speckle API
+2. Run the function locally against real Speckle data
+3. Submit results to the test automation for validation
+
+For detailed instructions, refer to
+the [official documentation on function testing](https://speckle.guide/automate/function-testing.html#how-to-create-a-test-automation).
+
+#### Running Integration Tests
+
+With the `.env` file configured:
 
 ```bash
-poetry shell && poetry install
+# Run the integration tests
+pytest test_function.py
 ```
 
-2. Configure `.env`:
+The SDK utilities will automatically:
 
-```
-SPECKLE_TOKEN=your_speckle_token
-SPECKLE_SERVER_URL=app.speckle.systems
+- Connect to your test automation
+- Execute your function with the specified test data
+- Submit results back to Speckle
+
+Test results will be visible on the automation page in the Speckle UI.
+
+#### Unit Tests
+
+For unit tests that don't require a full Speckle connection, you can run:
+
+```bash
+# Run unit tests only
+pytest test_comparisons.py test_rule_processing.py
 ```
 
-Get test automation details from app.speckle.systems
+Note: The `.env` file should never be committed to version control (it's included in .gitignore)

+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. Function Execution Flow
+
+The main execution flow is defined in `function.py`:
+
+1. `automate_function()` receives context and inputs from Automate
+2. Retrieves Speckle objects via `automate_context.receive_version()`
+3. Flattens the object tree using `flatten_base()`
+4. Loads rules from the spreadsheet URL via `read_rules_from_spreadsheet()`
+5. Applies rules to objects using `apply_rules_to_objects()`
+6. Reports results via the Automate context
+
+### 2. Rule Processing
+
+Rules are processed through several stages:
+
+1. **Spreadsheet Parsing** (`spreadsheet.py`):
+    - Reads TSV data
+    - Groups rules by rule number
+    - Validates rule structure
+
+2. **Rule Application** (`rule_processor.py`):
+    - Processes rule logic (WHERE, AND, CHECK)
+    - Evaluates conditions against objects
+    - Attaches results to objects in Automate context
+
+3. **Property Rules** (`rules.py`):
+    - Handles property lookups in objects
+    - Implements comparison logic
+    - Supports both v2 and v3 Speckle schemas
+
+### 3. Property Access System
+
+The system uses a flexible property access mechanism that works with different Speckle schemas:
+
+- **V2 Schema**: Properties in `parameters` dictionary with internal definition names
+- **V3 Schema**: Properties in nested `properties.Parameters` structure
+
+The `PropertyRules` class provides methods to:
+
+- Find properties by path or name
+- Extract values with appropriate type conversion
+- Perform comparisons with tolerance and type handling
+
+## Test-Driven Development for Rules
+
+The test infrastructure is designed to support Test-Driven Development (TDD) when creating new rules or extending
+functionality. This approach is especially powerful for rule development as it allows you to verify behavior against
+known test objects.
+
+### Using Test Fixtures for Rule Development
+
+The `conftest.py` file contains test fixtures that provide sample Speckle objects for testing:
+
+```python
+@pytest.fixture
+def v2_wall():
+    """Creates a v2-style Speckle wall object"""
+    wall = Base()
+    wall.id = "cdb18060dc48281909e94f0f1d8d3cc0"
+    wall.type = "W30(Fc24)"
+    wall.units = "mm"
+    wall.family = "Basic Wall"
+    wall.height = 1400
+    wall.flipped = False
+    wall.category = "Walls"
+    # ... more properties
+
+    return wall
+
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def v3_wall():
+    """Creates a v3-style Speckle wall object"""
+    wall = Base()
+    wall.id = "46f06fef727d64a0bbcbd7ced51e0cd2"
+    wall.name = "Walls - W30(Fc24)"
+    wall.type = "W30(Fc24)"
+    wall.units = "mm"
+    wall.family = "Basic Wall"
+    # ... more properties
+
+    return wall
+```
+
+These fixtures create standardized test objects that represent different Speckle schema versions, allowing you to test
+rule behavior consistently.
+
+### TDD Workflow for New Rules
+
+When developing a new rule or predicate, follow this TDD approach:
+
+1. **Add test fixtures**: First, expand `conftest.py` with representative objects that your rule will process
+
+2. **Write tests first**: Create test cases in a test file (e.g., `test_my_rule.py`):
+   ```python
+   def test_new_wall_rule(v2_wall, v3_wall):
+       """Test a new rule that checks wall thickness requirements"""
+       # Test with v2 schema
+       assert PropertyRules.is_new_wall_check(v2_wall, "width", "300")
+       
+       # Test with v3 schema
+       assert PropertyRules.is_new_wall_check(v3_wall, "Width", "300")
+       
+       # Test failure case
+       v2_wall.parameters["WALL_ATTR_WIDTH_PARAM"].value = 200
+       assert not PropertyRules.is_new_wall_check(v2_wall, "width", "300")
+   ```
+
+3. **Implement the rule**: Add the new rule method to the `PropertyRules` class in `rules.py`:
+   ```python
+   @staticmethod
+   def is_new_wall_check(speckle_object: Base, parameter_name: str, expected_value: str) -> bool:
+       """Checks if a wall meets specific thickness requirements"""
+       parameter_value = PropertyRules.get_parameter_value(speckle_object, parameter_name)
+       # Implement rule logic
+       return result
+   ```
+
+4. **Add to predicate mapping**: Register your new rule in `predicates.py`:
+   ```python
+   PREDICATE_METHOD_MAP = {
+       # Existing predicates...
+       "new_wall_check": PropertyRules.is_new_wall_check.__name__,
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **Run tests to verify**:
+   ```bash
+   pytest test_my_rule.py -v
+   ```
+
+### Creating Comprehensive Test Objects
+
+For the most effective testing, your test objects in `conftest.py` should:
+
+1. **Include diverse objects**: Walls, columns, beams, etc.
+2. **Cover edge cases**: Null values, missing properties, special characters
+3. **Represent both schemas**: Include both v2 and v3 format objects
+4. **Include real-world examples**: Extract sample objects from actual projects
+
+You can extract real objects for testing using:
+
+```python
+# Example code to extract and save real objects for test fixtures
+from specklepy.api import operations
+from specklepy.api.client import SpeckleClient
+from specklepy.transports.server import ServerTransport
+
+client = SpeckleClient(host="app.speckle.systems")
+client.authenticate_with_token(token)
+
+transport = ServerTransport(client=client, stream_id="stream_id")
+obj = operations.receive("object_id", transport)
+
+# Print structure to help with fixture creation
+print(obj.get_member_names())
+print(obj.get_dynamic_member_names())
+```
+
+By following this TDD approach and maintaining comprehensive test fixtures, you can develop robust rules that work
+reliably across different object schemas and handle edge cases appropriately.
 
 ## Testing
 
+### Running Tests
+
 ```bash
-poetry run pytest
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_parameters.py
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=src
 ```
 
-## Extending Rules
+### Test Data
 
-1. Add new predicate to `input_predicate_mapping` in `rules.py`
-2. Create corresponding method in `PropertyRules` class
-3. Update tests
+Test fixtures in `conftest.py` provide sample objects:
 
-## Building
+- `v2_wall`: Wall object in v2 schema
+- `v3_wall`: Wall object in v3 schema
 
-The function is packaged as a Docker container:
+### Manual Testing with Real Data
 
-```bash
-docker build -f ./Dockerfile -t checker .
-```
+For testing with real Speckle data:
 
-## Local Testing
+```python
+from specklepy.api import operations
+from specklepy.api.client import SpeckleClient
+from specklepy.api.credentials import get_account_from_token
+from specklepy.transports.server import ServerTransport
 
-```bash
-docker run --rm checker python -u main.py run [automation_data] [parameters] [token]
+client = SpeckleClient(host="app.speckle.systems")
+account = get_account_from_token(token, "app.speckle.systems")
+client.authenticate_with_account(account)
+
+transport = ServerTransport(client=client, stream_id="your_stream_id")
+commit = client.commit.get(stream_id="your_stream_id", commit_id="your_commit_id")
+obj = operations.receive(commit.referencedObject, transport)
 ```
 
 ## Deployment
 
-Create a GitHub release to trigger deployment to Speckle Automate.
+The function is deployed through GitHub Actions:
+
+1. Create a GitHub release to trigger the build workflow
+2. The workflow builds the necessary artifacts and pushes them to the Speckle Automate registry
+3. The function becomes available in the Speckle Automate UI
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Large Object Trees**: When processing large models, use aggressive filtering with WHERE clauses
+- **Rule Complexity**: Minimize the number of nested property lookups
+- **Memory Usage**: Be aware of object reference handling and avoid deep copies
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Rule not matching expected objects**:
+    - Check property paths for the specific object type
+    - Verify data types (strings vs. numbers)
+    - Enable debug logging
+
+2. **Slow performance**:
+    - Check for inefficient property lookups
+    - Add more specific WHERE filters to reduce object set
+
+3. **Docker build failures**:
+    - Check dependency compatibility
+    - Verify Python version requirements
+
+## Contributing
+
+1. Create a branch for your feature or fix
+2. Add tests for new functionality
+3. Update documentation
+4. Submit a pull request
+5. Ensure CI tests pass
+
+## Future Development
+
+Potential improvements:
+
+- Support for more complex rule logic (OR conditions)
+- UI-based rule editor
+- Result visualization tools
+- Performance optimizations for large models
+- Support for referencing other objects in rules

-- Boolean checks
+## Getting Started
 
-## Severity Levels
+### 1. Access the Model Checker Application
 
-- WARNING: Issues that should be reviewed
-- ERROR: Critical issues requiring attention
+1. Go to the [Model Checker Application](https://model-checker.speckle.systems)
+2. Sign in with your Speckle account
+3. Create and manage your validation rules through the intuitive web interface
+
+### 2. Create an Automation
+
+1. Go to your workspace project in [Speckle](https://app.speckle.systems/)
+2. Create a new Automation
+3. Select the Model Checker function
+4. Configure the function:
+    - Set minimum severity level to report
+    - Configure other options as needed
+5. Save and run your automation
+
+## Rule Definition Format
+
+Rules are defined with the following components:
+
+| Logic | Property Name | Predicate    | Value     | Message              | Report Severity |
+|-------|---------------|--------------|-----------|----------------------|-----------------|
+| WHERE | category      | matches      | Walls     | Wall thickness check | ERROR           |
+| CHECK | Width         | greater than | 200       |                      |                 |
+| WHERE | category      | matches      | Columns   | Column height check  | WARNING         |
+| AND   | height        | in range     | 2500,4000 |                      |                 |
+
+### Component Explanation
+
+- **Logic**: Defines how conditions are combined (WHERE, AND, CHECK)
+- **Property Name**: The object property or parameter to check
+- **Predicate**: Comparison operation (equals, greater than, etc.)
+- **Value**: Reference value for comparison
+- **Message**: Description shown in validation results
+- **Report Severity**: ERROR, WARNING, or INFO
+
+### Supported Predicates
+

+
+## Rule Logic
+
+- **WHERE**: Filters objects to check (like SELECT WHERE in SQL)
+- **AND**: Additional filter conditions
+- **CHECK**: Final check condition (optional, defaults to last AND)
+
+Objects pass a rule when they match all conditions. Objects that match WHERE/AND filters but fail the CHECK condition
+are reported as issues.
+
+## Working with Object Properties
+
+The Model Checker understands properties in Speckle objects regardless of schema:
+
+- Direct properties: `category`, `name`, `id`
+- Nested properties: `parameters.WIDTH.value`
+- Revit parameters: Use parameter names like `Mark`, `Width`, `Assembly Code`
 
 ## Example Rules
 
-[Screenshot or example table to be added]
+### Wall Thickness Check
+
+```
+Rule: WHERE category equals "Walls" AND width less than "200"
+Message: "Walls must have width of at least 200."
+Severity: ERROR
+```
+
+### Door Naming Convention
+
+```
+Rule: WHERE category equals "Doors" AND name is not like "^D\d{3}$"
+Message: "All doors must have a name that follows the format "D" followed by three digits."
+Severity: WARNING
+```
+
+### Structural Column Height Range
+
+```
+Rule: WHERE category equals "Columns" AND is_structural is true AND height not in range "2400,4000"
+Message: "Structural columns must have a height between 2400 and 4000."
+Severity: ERROR
+```
 
 ## Support
 
-For issues or questions, please open a GitHub issue.
+For issues or questions, please let us know on the [Speckle Community Forum](https://speckle.community/).
+
+### Alternative: TSV File Format
+
+While the Model Checker Application is the recommended way to create and manage rules, you can also create compatible
+TSV (Tab-Separated Values) files manually. This can be useful for:
+
+- Programmatically generating rules
+- Version controlling rules in a text format
+- Integrating with existing workflows
+- Creating rules in bulk
+
+The TSV file should follow the same structure as shown in the table above, with columns separated by tabs. The file will
+then need to be hosted somewhere and served with MIME-type of `text/tab-separated-values` and the URL used in the
+automation configuration.

+2. Handling nested property paths with a flexible search mechanism
+3. Converting between different value types (strings, booleans, numbers)
+4. Implementing various comparison predicates for validation rules

+"""Module for reading and processing rules from a cloud hosted TSV file.
+
+This module handles the loading and processing of validation rules from external
+spreadsheet data, enabling non-technical users to define and modify rules.
+
+Key features:
+1. Reading from hosted TSV files (e.g., from Google Sheets)
+2. Processing rule numbers for consistent grouping
+3. Handling mixed data types in spreadsheet columns
+4. Validating rule structure and providing feedback
+5. Grouping related rule conditions for execution
+
+The spreadsheet format used follows a specific structure:
+- Rule Number: Groups related conditions together
+- Logic: WHERE/AND/CHECK to define condition relationships
+- Property Name: The property path to check
+- Predicate: The comparison operation (equals, greater than, etc.)
+- Value: The value to compare against
+- Message: The message to display for rule results
+- Severity: INFO/WARNING/ERROR level for failures
