Implements feature request from issue #2 to trial Nuitka compilation for potentially faster cold-start times compared to PyInstaller. Changes: - Add new CI workflow (nuitka-trial.yml) that builds binaries using Nuitka - Create build_nuitka.py script for Nuitka compilation - Add requirements-nuitka.txt with Nuitka dependencies - Include test.html for automated testing in CI - Workflow tests binary with test.html > test.md conversion - Measures and reports cold-start times across platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) - Compares warm-start performance with multiple runs - Outputs binary size and conversion results as artifacts The CI workflow will: 1. Build standalone binaries using Nuitka on all platforms 2. Test conversion with test.html file 3. Measure cold-start performance 4. Upload binary artifacts for comparison 5. Output test.md results for verification This allows comparison of Nuitka vs PyInstaller for: - Cold-start execution time - Binary size - Compilation time - Overall performance 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous configuration used --follow-imports which attempts to compile the entire Python standard library and all dependencies, causing builds to hang or take hours. Changes to build_nuitka.py: - Replace --follow-imports with --follow-import-to=markitdown (only compile markitdown package specifically) - Remove redundant --include-package directives - Add --show-progress for build visibility - Add --assume-yes-for-downloads to prevent prompts - Disable LTO (--lto=no) to speed up compilation - Remove --macos-create-app-bundle (not needed for CLI) Changes to nuitka-trial.yml: - Add 60-minute timeout to entire job - Add 30-minute timeout to build steps - Prevents CI from running indefinitely These optimizations should reduce build time from hours to ~10-15 minutes while still producing a functional standalone binary. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
