[CLI] Auto right-align numeric columns in human table output#4288
Merged
Conversation
Numeric-only columns (int/float/None values) are now right-aligned by default, removing the need for explicit alignments in most CLI commands. Explicit alignments still take precedence for string columns like formatted sizes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

`bool` is a subclass of `int` in Python, so boolean columns (rendered as checkmarks) were incorrectly right-aligned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I feel it's cleaner to right-align numbers by default.
This PR automatically right-aligns all numeric-only columns (all values are
int,float, orNone) in human table output. Explicitalignmentspassed toout.table()still take precedence.Removed now-redundant explicit
alignmentsfrompapers.py,discussions.py,extensions.py,datasets.py, and partially frombuckets.py(total_filesis auto-inferred,sizekept explicit since it can be a formatted string).before

Note
Low Risk
Presentation-only change to CLI table formatting; explicit alignments still win, with a special case for formatted size strings in bucket listings.
Overview
Human-mode CLI tables now auto right-align columns whose non-
Nonecells are all numeric (int/float, excludingbool), via new_infer_alignmentsin_output.py. Explicitalignmentspassed toout.table()still override inference.Several commands drop redundant manual alignment (
papers,discussions,extensions,datasetsleaderboard, etc.).buckets listkeepssize: rightonly when values may be human-readable strings;total_filesis inferred. Tests intest_cli_output.pyexpect the updated column spacing.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 38e8a8e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
