Several people have converged on the same goal from different directions: @Borda opened #8683 asking that linting "rely solely on the repository's pre-commit configuration ... the exact same versions and rules are applied everywhere", @ericspod listed "Move black and isort formatting into pre-commit" in #9058 and raised the tool-version concern on #8683, and @aymuos15 prototyped a "remove everything and only do ruff" branch off that thread. This PR implements the shared requirement — one definition per tool — without changing a single source file.

Concretely: pyproject.toml becomes the only place a lint tool's version or settings are declared, and a CI job runs pre-commit on a lint-only environment.

For reviewers: this does not compete with #9061. #9061 adds black and isort hooks and notes that their versions "need to be set in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file separately from wherever else they're specified, so when versions are changed they need to be synced between files." This removes that requirement, so the two can be rebased onto each other in either order.

It also fills the gap left when the Pre-Commit-Lite approach was struck from the #9058 checklist. That approach existed to "ensure the versions of black and isort match what would be used locally"; with it withdrawn in favour of "regular pre-commit may just be fine", nothing currently makes those versions match. Declaring them once is the smaller way to get the same guarantee.

The drift is already real, not hypothetical

On dev today:

Setting pyproject.toml elsewhere
ruff version ruff>=0.14.11,<0.15 .pre-commit-config.yamlrev: v0.15.20
pycln version absent .pre-commit-config.yamlrev: v2.6.0
ruff excludes absent runtests.sh:602,604 and the ruff hook

The two ruff ranges are disjoint, so a contributor following CONTRIBUTING.md and pre-commit.ci could not run the same linter even in principle. Building an environment from pyproject.toml on this machine gives ruff 0.14.14; pre-commit.ci runs 0.15.20.

Because the excludes live in the callers, a plain ruff check --fix . — what an editor or a one-off invocation runs — does not get them, and rewrites versioneer.py and monai/_version.py. Before this PR that command reports 111 violations (84 UP031, 11 N806, 7 N801, 6 UP035, 2 N818, 1 B904), every one inside those two files.

runtests.sh also called ruff as a bare PATH executable while isort, black, pylint and pytype all go through "${PY_EXE}" -m. The guard above it, is_pip_installed ruff, tests importlib.util.find_spec using PY_EXE — so the check interrogated one environment and the invocation ran whatever ruff PATH happened to offer. In a clean virtualenv built per CONTRIBUTING.md, ./runtests.sh --codeformat fails outright with ruff: command not found.

What changed

pyproject.toml — a lint optional-dependency group holds the tools that .pre-commit-config.yaml and runtests.sh both invoke; testing pulls it in via monai[lint] so developers still have one install. The group excludes torch and the optional dependencies, so a lint-only environment can be built from it alone.

  • extend-exclude added to [tool.ruff] for the two vendored files
  • ruff pinned to 0.16.4, the newest release that leaves this codebase unchanged
  • pycln==2.6.0 added — it was pinned only in the hook and never installed by runtests.sh
  • [tool.black] switches from exclude to force-exclude, same regex

.pre-commit-config.yaml — ruff and pycln become repo: local hooks with language: system, and black and isort join them, so pre-commit runs the tools from that environment instead of building its own from a second set of pins. There is no rev: left to keep in sync. The hygiene hooks from pre-commit-hooks keep theirs — they have no pyproject.toml counterpart and are already single-definition.

runtests.sh — ruff goes through "${PY_EXE}" -m like every other tool; its duplicated --exclude flags are dropped.

monai/config/print_dependencies.pyparse_dependencies() expands self-referential requirements, normalizing both the project name and the extra names so case and -/_/. spellings resolve to one group; PEP 503 and PEP 685 specify the same rule. A requirement naming a different project, such as versioneer[toml] in build-system.requires, passes through untouched. install_deps feeds its output to pip install -r, where an unexpanded monai[lint] would resolve against the package index rather than the checkout. This is the only Python change; no source file is reformatted.

.github/workflows/cicd_tests.yml — a pre-commit job. pre-commit has never run in GitHub Actions; only the external pre-commit.ci service ran it, and the hooks above need an environment that service does not build, so they are listed under ci.skip and this job runs them. It reads the lint extra out of pyproject.toml at run time rather than restating versions in YAML. static-checks is left unchanged, so its copyright and pyrefly coverage is kept and CI fails if the two routes ever disagree.

Why each exclusion flag on the hook entries is load-bearing

language: system hooks receive explicit filenames, and most tools ignore their configured excludes in that mode. Run directly against the two vendored files:

tool with the flag without
black (force-exclude) nothing to do 2 files would be reformatted
ruff (--force-exclude) no files found 200 errors
isort (--filter-files) skipped 2 files 2 sort errors

This is also why [tool.black] moves from exclude to force-exclude: black ignores exclude for filenames given on the command line, which is exactly how pre-commit calls it.

Verification

Ruff 0.16.4 was chosen by sweeping every release from 0.14.11 to 0.16.4 against dev. They are indistinguishable on this codebase — same violations before, same files touched by --fix — so the bump carries no lint-behaviour change.

check result
pre-commit run --all-files, full environment all hooks pass, tree unmodified
pre-commit run --all-files, torch-free lint env (as CI) all hooks pass, tree unmodified
./runtests.sh --codeformat, venv not on PATH copyright 1360 files, isort, black, ruff 0.16.4, pyrefly 0 errors
./runtests.sh --autofix 0 Python files changed
./runtests.sh -u --net --coverage 18196 tests, failure set identical to unmodified dev

Both routes now resolve the same ruff, 0.16.4, which is the point of the change.

The full suite was run twice from separate worktrees, once on this branch and once on unmodified dev, so the comparison is a controlled one. Both report 18196 tests and the same 39 failures, from pre-existing dependency incompatibilities unrelated to this PR (zarr 3.x, scipy 1.18 dropping sqrtm(disp=), matplotlib baseline images, and a None reaching a numeric comparison in fall_back_tuple). The dev run additionally failed test_optim_novograd test_step_6 and test_step_7, which pass in isolation on both trees across repeated runs and appear to be order-dependent flakes.

Note for anyone reproducing: use Python 3.10, matching PYTHON_VER1. The all extra has no upper bounds, so Python 3.12 resolves zarr 3.3.0, scipy 1.18.1 and matplotlib 3.11.1 — versions that Python 3.10 cannot reach and that CI therefore never sees. Rebuilding on 3.10 clears most of the failures above.

Nothing here changes which tools are used. Whether ruff should replace black and isort outright is a separate question with its own trade-offs, raised in #9066; this PR is a prerequisite for that either way, since otherwise such a swap has to be made in pyproject.toml, .pre-commit-config.yaml and runtests.sh simultaneously and kept in sync.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project adds a shared lint dependency group and updates tool exclusions. Pre-commit uses project-installed lint tools through local hooks. A new Ubuntu CI job installs the lint dependencies and runs all pre-commit hooks. runtests.sh invokes Ruff through the configured Python executable. Dependency parsing now expands self-referential extras and handles cyclic groups.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 466b1

The PR is otherwise mergeable, but dependency installation can select the published package instead of the local checkout when equivalent project-name spellings use different separators; this bounded correctness risk should receive explicit owner follow-up.

Thanks — the token concern is fixed in c5eb18c; the dependency-resolution one I believe is a false positive, evidence below.

Token persistence — fixed. Fair catch. This job runs the hooks named by a PR's own .pre-commit-config.yaml, so leaving a usable credential in .git/config for that hook code to reach is the wrong default. The job now uses persist-credentials: false and permissions: contents: read.

Dependency resolution — tested, resolves from the checkout

The concern is that testing = ["monai[lint]", ...] could resolve monai from PyPI rather than the local tree. It does not: pip recognises the self-reference as the project already being installed.

Tested against the worst case — a throwaway project named monai (the name does exist on PyPI) at version 9.9.9, with the same extras shape, resolved by pip:

Collecting ruff==0.16.4 (from monai==9.9.9)
Would install coverage-7.15.4 monai-9.9.9 ruff-0.16.4

  monai      9.9.9      <- LOCAL CHECKOUT
  ruff       0.16.4     <- REMOTE (pypi)
  coverage   7.15.4     <- REMOTE (pypi)

monai came from the checkout, and ruff==0.16.4 came from the local lint extra — no published MONAI has a lint extra, so had this resolved from PyPI the pin could not have appeared. Confirmed independently with uv: installing .[all,testing] in an existing environment bumped ruff 0.14.14 → 0.16.4 and added pycln, both of which only exist in this branch's lint extra.

Separately, the CI job here never exercises that path at all — it reads the lint pins straight out of pyproject.toml and installs those, so no monai distribution is resolved either way.

Phase 3 recognised exactly one reviewer, greptile-apps[bot]. Any other
review bot fell through is_bot() into "bot_other", a bucket the skill
documents as "non-blocking, skip unless explicitly asked". On
Project-MONAI/MONAI#9065 that put a genuine actionable CodeRabbit
finding in the ignore pile; it was only acted on because the raw JSON
was read by hand.

The single GREPTILE_LOGIN constant becomes AI_REVIEW_PROVIDERS, keyed by
bot login and carrying what differs per provider: how a review is
requested, how one is forced for an already-reviewed head, and which
in-repo file indicates the provider is configured. Findings are parsed
per provider and normalised to P1/P2/P3, so CodeRabbit's
Critical/Major/Minor maps onto the vocabulary the phase logic already
speaks and one rule covers both.

Two bugs surfaced while testing this against real PRs.

The greptile parser never matched inline findings. Its pattern was

  alt="(P[123])"[^>]*>\s*\*\*([^*]+)\*\*

but the badge is an <img> wrapped in an <a>, so a closing </a> sits
between the badge and the bold title and \s* cannot span it. Most
findings are inline, so Phase 3 has been running "address every P1/P2"
against an empty list. InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK#6777 reports 0
findings before this change and 2 P1s after.

Provider detection read config files relative to the working directory,
so triaging owner/repo#N from an unrelated checkout reported whatever
that checkout happened to contain. It now queries the target repo.

Unrecognised bots go to a new "bot_unknown" bucket rather than
"bot_other". The two are documented differently on purpose: bot_other is
ignorable, bot_unknown means nobody has classified this bot yet and it
must be read before the phase can be called clean. That is the failure
mode above, closed for the next review bot as well as this one.

phase_3_ai_review also carries CodeRabbit's PR-level signals, merge_risk
and failed_pre_merge_checks, which have no greptile equivalent and no
inline comment to hang off. On Project-MONAI/MONAI#9067 merge_risk was
"High" with zero inline findings — a credential-exposure issue in a
workflow that would otherwise have been reported as Phase 3 clean.

phase_3_greptile is retained as an alias so callers written against the
old report keep working. ghtp_reply.py is untouched: replying and
resolving are provider-agnostic.

Verified against ITK#6714 and ITK#6777 (greptile) and MONAI#9065 and
MONAI#9067 (coderabbit); test_ghtp_workstate.py still passes.

Comment thread monai/config/print_dependencies.py Outdated
Ruff is the only formatting/linting tool whose exclusion of the two
vendored/generated files is not declared in pyproject.toml. Black has it
in [tool.black] exclude and pyrefly has it in [tool.pyrefly]
project-excludes; ruff's copy lives in the callers instead:

  runtests.sh:602,604    --exclude versioneer.py --exclude monai/_version.py
  .pre-commit-config.yaml  exclude: (?x)(^versioneer.py|^monai/_version.py)

Two consequences follow from that placement.

First, the exclusion only applies when ruff is reached through one of
those two callers. A one-off developer or IDE invocation -- plainly
"ruff check --fix ." at the repository root -- does not get it, and
rewrites versioneer.py and monai/_version.py. Before this change that
call reports 111 violations (84 UP031, 11 N806, 7 N801, 6 UP035, 2 N818,
1 B904), every one of them inside those two files, and --fix modifies
both. After it, "ruff check ." reports "All checks passed!" and --fix is
a no-op. Verified on ruff 0.14.14 (the version pyproject currently
resolves to) and on 0.16.4 (latest); the whole 0.14.11-0.16.4 range
behaves identically here.

Second, the setting has to be restated once per caller, so each new way
of invoking a tool adds another copy that can drift. Project-MONAI#9061 shows the
shape of this: it adds black and isort pre-commit hooks, and each one
carries its own exclude block, with the accompanying note that "black
will be given individual file names and so will ignore the excludes in
pyproject.toml". Declaring the setting where the tool looks for it by
default keeps one definition no matter how many routes reach the tool.

This commit only adds the declaration; the now-redundant copies in
runtests.sh and .pre-commit-config.yaml are left in place so this change
is inert on its own and can be verified independently. They become
removable once this has landed.

No source files are changed. runtests.sh --codeformat passes on all four
legs (copyright 1360 files, isort, black, ruff, pyrefly 0 errors) and
pre-commit run --all-files passes.

Signed-off-by: Hans Johnson <hans-johnson@uiowa.edu>
Tool versions were declared twice and could not agree. pyproject.toml
asked for "ruff>=0.14.11,<0.15" while .pre-commit-config.yaml pinned rev
v0.15.20 -- disjoint ranges, so a developer following CONTRIBUTING.md
and pre-commit.ci were guaranteed to run different linters. pycln was
pinned only in the hook and never installed by runtests.sh at all.

pyproject.toml now owns both the versions and the settings:

- a "lint" optional-dependency group holds the tools that
  .pre-commit-config.yaml and runtests.sh both invoke, and "testing"
  pulls it in via monai[lint] so developers still have one install. The
  group excludes torch and the optional dependencies, so a lint-only
  environment can be built from it alone.
- ruff is pinned to 0.16.4, the newest release that leaves this codebase
  unchanged. Every release from 0.14.11 to 0.16.4 was run against dev
  and they are indistinguishable here: same violations before, same
  files touched by --fix, and "All checks passed!" on each.
- pycln is added at 2.6.0, the version its hook used.
- [tool.black] switches from exclude to force-exclude with the same
  regex, because black ignores exclude for filenames given on the
  command line, which is how pre-commit invokes it.

The ruff and pycln hooks become local hooks with language: system, and
black and isort join them, so pre-commit runs the tools from that
environment rather than building its own from a second set of pins.
There is no longer a rev: to keep in sync. The hygiene hooks from
pre-commit-hooks keep their rev:, as they have no counterpart in
pyproject.toml and so are already single-definition.

The flags on those entries make the pyproject settings apply to the
explicit filenames pre-commit passes. Each is load-bearing; run against
the two vendored files directly:

  black    with force-exclude    nothing to do / without: 2 would be reformatted
  ruff     with --force-exclude  no files found  / without: 200 errors
  isort    with --filter-files   skipped 2 files / without: 2 sort errors

Because these hooks need an environment pre-commit.ci does not build,
they are listed under ci.skip; the pre-commit job added to
cicd_tests.yml runs them instead.

parse_dependencies() gains expansion of self-referential requirements.
runtests.sh's install_deps writes its output to a requirements file and
runs "pip install -r" on it, and the parser appended each group verbatim,
so "monai[lint]" reached pip as a plain requirement with no local path.
pip would have resolved it against the package index -- installing the
published release over the checkout under test, and none of the five lint
tools. Self-references are now replaced by the group they name, with a
seen-set so a group that refers to itself terminates. Covered by new cases
in tests/config/test_print_dependencies.py, including the cyclic one.

No source file is reformatted; the only Python change is that parser.
pre-commit run --all-files and runtests.sh --autofix both leave the tree
untouched.

Signed-off-by: Hans Johnson <hans-johnson@uiowa.edu>
runtests.sh called ruff as a bare executable on PATH while isort, black,
pylint and pytype all go through "${PY_EXE}" -m. The guard above it,
is_pip_installed ruff, tests importlib.util.find_spec using PY_EXE, so
the check interrogated one environment and the invocation ran whatever
ruff PATH happened to offer. In a clean virtualenv built per
CONTRIBUTING.md this makes ./runtests.sh --codeformat fail outright:

  ruff
  ./runtests.sh: line 598: ruff: command not found
  Check failed!

and where a system ruff does exist it silently wins over the pinned one.

The --exclude versioneer.py --exclude monai/_version.py flags are
dropped because [tool.ruff] extend-exclude now carries them, so they
apply however ruff is reached rather than only through this script.

--unsafe-fixes is left on the fix path as-is; making it symmetric with
the check path is a behaviour change and belongs on its own.

pre-commit has never run in GitHub Actions; only the external
pre-commit.ci service ran it. Now that the formatting hooks are skipped
there, because they need an environment that service does not build,
this job runs them.

It installs the "lint" extra alone, read out of pyproject.toml at run
time so the versions are not restated in the workflow. That needs
neither torch nor the optional dependencies, unlike static-checks, which
installs .[all,testing] before running formatters.

static-checks is left unchanged. Running both routes keeps the copyright
and pyrefly coverage it provides, and makes CI fail if pre-commit and
runtests.sh ever disagree about the same files.

Hi @hjmjohnson thanks for looking into this and I do agree that we'd be better with a single place for defining the versions of tools. I had thought about exactly this sort of approach with an action that uses Pre-Commit Lite to push reformatted code back to the branch. The reason for sticking with doing this through the pre-commit file and the regular Pre-Commit app is that this runs much faster than a regular action and typically before the others run. Since reformatting code is important to do early so not to waste time testing code that'll be changed anyway. I don't believe there's a way of controlling action order or priority, and setting up the action to run the black/isort is much slower than using Pre-commit's provided small VMs. I would still say that we merge my approach for these reasons.
