Allow arbitrary patches/regions beyond the standard 5-cut template +2. Support flexible cut configurations (e.g., occipital pole only, temporal pole only) +3. Enable users to create custom patches on fsaverage that can be applied to any subject +4. Not hardcode expected cuts or medial wall +5. Add topology checks on patches + +## Implementation + +### Changes Made + +#### 1. Core Module (`autoflatten/core.py`) +- **Dynamic cut extraction**: Replaced hardcoded `cut_names = ["calcarine", "medial1", "medial2", "medial3", "temporal"]` with dynamic extraction from `vertex_dict.keys()` +- **New function**: Added `validate_patch_topology()` to check: + - Single connected component + - Disk topology (one boundary loop) + - Reasonable patch size +- **Updated docstrings**: Documented support for arbitrary cut names + +#### 2. Template Module (`autoflatten/template.py`) +- **Flexible merging**: Made `merge_small_components()` accept optional `max_cuts` parameter (default None = keep all) +- **Generic classification**: Updated `classify_cuts_anatomically()` to fall back to generic names (cut1, cut2, etc.) when not applicable +- **Updated `identify_surface_components()`**: Added `max_cuts` and `classify_anatomically` parameters for flexibility + +#### 3. Tests +- Updated `test_merge_small_components()` to test both old (max_cuts=5) and new (max_cuts=None) behavior +- Added `test_validate_patch_topology()` to test topology validation +- All 151 tests pass + +#### 4. Documentation & Examples +- Created `examples/custom_patch_example.py` demonstrating: + - Custom cut names + - Arbitrary number of cuts + - Isolated patches without medial wall + - Template creation + - Topology validation +- Added `examples/README.md` with comprehensive usage guide +- Updated main `README.md` with flexible patch section + +#### 5. API Exports +- Updated `autoflatten/__init__.py` to export key functions for programmatic use: + - `ensure_continuous_cuts` + - `fill_holes_in_patch` + - `map_cuts_to_subject` + - `refine_cuts_with_geodesic` + - `validate_patch_topology` + - `identify_surface_components` + +## Key Design Decisions + +### 1. Convention: 'mwall' is Reserved +- The `mwall` key is reserved for medial wall vertices (can be empty) +- All other keys are treated as cuts and processed dynamically +- This provides a clear, simple convention for users + +### 2. Backward Compatibility +- Default behavior for standard 5-cut template unchanged +- `max_cuts=None` enables new flexible behavior +- `classify_anatomically=True` maintains anatomical naming when appropriate + +### 3. Topology Validation +- New optional validation step to catch topology issues early +- Provides clear feedback on what's wrong (disconnected components, multiple loops, etc.) +- Users can validate before attempting potentially slow flattening operations + +## Usage Examples + +### Example 1: Custom Patch with Arbitrary Cuts +```python +from autoflatten.utils import save_json + +# Create a template with custom regions +template_dict = { + "lh_mwall": [100, 101, 102], + "lh_occipital_boundary": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], + "lh_ventral_boundary": [10, 11, 12, 13], + "rh_mwall": [100, 101, 102], + "rh_occipital_boundary": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], + "rh_ventral_boundary": [10, 11, 12, 13], +} + +save_json("occipital_patch_template.json", template_dict) +``` + +Then use: `autoflatten subject --template-file occipital_patch_template.json` + +### Example 2: Validate Before Flattening +```python +from autoflatten import validate_patch_topology + +is_valid, issues, info = validate_patch_topology( + vertex_dict, subject="sub-01", hemi="lh" +) + +if not is_valid: + print("Topology issues:", issues) + print("Info:", info) +``` + +## Testing + +All tests pass (151 passed, 6 skipped): +```bash +cd /home/runner/work/autoflatten/autoflatten +python -m pytest autoflatten/tests/ -v +``` + +Specific test coverage: +- `test_merge_small_components`: Tests flexible merging with and without max_cuts +- `test_validate_patch_topology`: Tests topology validation +- `test_classify_cuts_anatomically`: Tests fallback to generic naming +- All existing tests: Ensure backward compatibility + +## Benefits + +1. **Flexibility**: Users can create patches for any brain region +2. **Simplicity**: No need to conform to specific cut names or counts +3. **Validation**: Can catch topology issues before expensive flattening +4. **Reusability**: Custom templates can be applied across subjects +5. **Backward Compatible**: Existing workflows continue to work unchanged + +## Future Enhancements + +Potential future improvements: +1.
