+# Week 02 Progress Report by Harshit Verma
+
+**Project:** [LLM-powered Debugger for Pippy](https://github.com/sugarlabs/Pippy/issues/95)  
+**Mentors:** [Walter Bender](https://github.com/walterbender), [Ibiam Chihurumnaya](https://github.com/chimosky), [Kshitij Shah](https://github.com/kshitijdshah99)  
+**Assisting Mentors:** [Devin Ulibarri](https://github.com/pikurasa)  
+**Reporting Period:** 2025-06-09 - 2025-06-15  
+

+
+## Goals for This Week
+
+- **Goal 1:** Set up a basic FastAPI server.
+- **Goal 2:** Integrate a Hugging Face model.
+- **Goal 3:** Add 'Run and Debug' buttons to Pippy UI.
+- **Goal 4:** Connect Pippy to the FastAPI Server.
+
+---
+
+## This Week’s Achievements
+
+1. **Built FastAPI Server with `/debug` Endpoint**  
+   - Created a simple FastAPI app that listens for POST requests at `/debug`.
+   - The endpoint accepts raw Python code, forwards it to the model, and returns debug tips.
+
+2. **Integrated Hugging Face Model**  
+   - Loaded a lightweight model (Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct) from Hugging Face using `transformers`.
+   - Connected the model with the `/debug` endpoint to generate relevant debugging suggestions.
+
+3. **Updated Pippy UI with Debugging Controls**  
+   - Added 'Run and Debug' buttons to the Pippy interface.
+    ![Pippy UI: Run and Debug](assets/Images/pippy_run&debug.png)
+   - This was designed to trigger actions like execute code and get debugging feedback.
+
+4. **Connected Pippy to the FastAPI Server**  
+   - Implemented functionality to extract code from the Pippy editor.
+    ```Python
+    #To extract the source code
+
+    def _get_current_code(self):
+        pippy_tmp_dir = '%s/tmp/' % self.get_activity_root()
+        current_file = os.path.join(
+            pippy_tmp_dir,
+            self._source_tabs.get_current_file_name()
+        )
+
+        try:
+            with open(current_file, 'r') as f:
+                return f.read()
+        except Exception as e:
+            print(f"Error reading file {current_file}: {e}")
+            return None
+    ```   
+   - Successfully set up an API call from Pippy to the FastAPI server when the 'Run and Debug' button is clicked.
+
+---
+
+## Challenges & How I Overcame Them
+
+- **Challenge:** Running the model locally on CPU.  
+  **Solution:** Faced performance limitations due to lack of GPU support. I resolved this by selecting a small, efficient model from Hugging Face.
+
+- **Challenge:** Using GTK for Pippy UI integration.  
+  **Solution:**  Since GTK was new to me, adding buttons and handling events required exploring GTK documentation and existing Sugar activity patterns. With guidance and trial-and-error, I successfully added and wired up the 'Run and Debug' button to Pippy’s interface.
+
+---
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+- Learned how to build and structure an API with FastAPI.
+- Gained experience integrating Hugging Face models programmatically.
+- Understood how to bridge frontend (Pippy) with backend (FastAPI) effectively.
+- Improved at working across virtual machines, ports, and networking setups.
+
+---
+
+## Next Week’s Roadmap
+
+- Improve prompt engineering for better debugging tips.
+- Add visual display of debug tips in the Pippy interface.
+- Integrate sugar-ai with Pippy.
