📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Improved API type information across column, scalar, table, JSON, regular expression, metadata, and file-format interfaces.
  • Added clearer return types for builders, factory methods, metadata accessors, and option getters.
  • Added documentation for file-format builder classes.
  • Improved generated C++ API reference resolution.

• Refactor

  • Standardized public return annotations to improve clarity and tooling support without changing runtime behavior.

Walkthrough

The PR adds explicit Cython return annotations across core and I/O APIs. It adds builder class docstrings, updates SPDX notices and one ORC documentation link, and improves Sphinx C++ cross-reference resolution. Runtime implementations remain unchanged.

Changes

Public API annotations and documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Core API return types python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/column.pyx, python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/scalar.pyx, python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/json.pyx, python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/strings/regex_program.pyx, python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/table.*, python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/io/parquet_metadata.*	Core factories, conversions, getters, regex creation, table shape, and Parquet metadata methods now declare concrete return types.
I/O builder contracts python/pylibcudf/pylibcudf/io/{avro,csv,json,orc,parquet}.*	Avro, CSV, JSON, ORC, and Parquet builder methods now declare builder or options return types. Builder classes receive docstrings. SPDX and ORC documentation text are updated.
C++ cross-reference resolution docs/cudf/source/conf.py	Sphinx caches C++ object metadata and resolves bare and namespace-prefixed targets through a shared fallback resolver.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 81bd4

The PR adds localized return annotations and changes documentation warning filtering. Broad ignores could hide unrelated unresolved C++ references, so the change is mergeable with documentation-owner awareness and follow-up to narrow the filters.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1

❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly summarizes the primary change: adding source-level annotations to pylibcudf APIs.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description directly explains the added return annotations for pylibcudf APIs and matches the changeset.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

aggregation handling, or correct the emitted rolling targets so unrelated
parameter references remain unresolved and visible.
