Summary

  • toc.py gains four warning-only JIT-retrieval readiness signals: duplicate heading titles, heading depth jumps, oversized sections (configurable --max-section-lines, default 300), and a missing top-of-file description — structural properties that make heading-based JIT retrieval harder without invalidating otherwise-valid documents.
  • New doc_index.py (util + cfs doc-index command): a cached, etag-invalidated structural index (headings + section line ranges) so navigation reads a file's structure once per file, not once per query, with an annotate_section_summary hook for a future LLM caller to attach per-section summaries.

See #104.

Test plan

  • pytest tests/test_toc.py tests/test_doc_index.py — 132 passed
  • Verified doc-index/eval both resolve correctly via the CLI dispatch table after rebasing onto current main

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a doc-index command to build, reuse, inspect, and rebuild structural indexes for Markdown documents.
    • Cached indexes refresh automatically when source content changes.
  • Validation Improvements

    • TOC validation now warns about duplicate headings, abrupt heading-depth changes, oversized sections, and missing document descriptions.
    • Added a configurable maximum section length, defaulting to 300 lines.

Adds fence-aware heading parsing and warning-only checks for duplicate headings, depth jumps, oversized sections, and missing descriptions. Exposes --max-section-lines and tests warning fields and suppression cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae063

The PR adds cached document indexing and warning-only TOC readiness checks, but the cache can return stale headings and section ranges after certain edits, while absolute-path usage can select the wrong project cache and readiness warnings can be incomplete. These are bounded but concrete merge-readiness risks requiring owner follow-up before merge.

- Around line 34-42: The document-index cache must validate file changes using
metadata rather than the content-insensitive _compute_etag formula or read_text
on every hit. Update load_doc_index and its cache metadata to store st_mtime_ns
and st_size, call Path.stat() before loading a cached index, and reuse the cache
only when both values match; add a regression test replacing a heading with
same-size, same-line-count text to verify stale headings and section ranges are
not returned.
- Line 54: Update the Studio directory lookup in the doc-index flow to call
find_studio_directory with path.resolve().parent instead of Path.cwd(), ensuring
the cache is resolved from the indexed file’s project directory.

In `@skills/studio/scripts/studio/utils/toc.py`:
- Around line 856-859: Update the frontmatter handling in the description-check
flow around _find_frontmatter_end so it suppresses the warning only when the top
YAML block contains a non-empty accepted description field. Do not return early
for frontmatter containing only unrelated fields such as title; preserve the
existing line-count and warning behavior otherwise.
- Around line 987-990: Update the readiness checks around
parse_headings_with_lines and _check_duplicate_heading_titles,
_check_heading_depth_jumps, and _check_section_lengths to parse all heading
levels without applying max_heading_level. Retain max_heading_level exclusively
for TOC validation, and ensure ignored headings are included when determining
section boundaries for length validation.

…c index

Heading-based JIT retrieval needs headings that are unambiguous, evenly
sized, and structurally sound, and needs to parse a document's structure
once rather than on every query. toc.py gains four warning-only checks
(duplicate headings, depth jumps, oversized sections, missing top-of-file
description) and doc_index.py adds a cached, stat-invalidated structural
index (`cfs doc-index`) with a hook for attaching per-section summaries.

Fixes applied after CI and CodeRabbit review of the initial version:
- The cache-validity fingerprint was path+byte_size+line_count, which
  can't distinguish a same-size content edit from no edit at all, and
  load_doc_index() read the whole file on every cache hit regardless --
  defeating the "read once, not per query" point of the cache. Now uses
  Path.stat() (mtime_ns + size): cheaper (no read on a hit) and correctly
  catches same-size edits, since a write always advances mtime.
- The Studio directory was resolved from the process's cwd, not the
  indexed file's own path -- could target the wrong project's cache.
- Two silent except-and-return-None blocks (pylint's custom
  silent-exceptions rule) now log at debug level, following the existing
  decision_log.py convention.
- The JIT-readiness checks were filtered through max_heading_level, whose
  CLI default is 3 -- hiding real issues in H4-H6 headings, exactly as
  seen against a real PDF-converted document during development. They now
  always parse every level, independent of the TOC-completeness cap.
- The missing-description check accepted any frontmatter block, even one
  with no actual description field.
- validate_toc() exceeded pylint's local-variable limit after the
  JIT-readiness wiring; extracted into _collect_jit_readiness_warnings.
- Registered the doc-index algo and the two new toc-utils instructions in
  traceability-validation.md with real per-function tracing (was
  whole-file-scope only, tripping the granularity floor and two
  code-orphan-ref/code-inst-orphan validate errors).
- Whitelisted annotate_section_summary in vulture_whitelist.py per this
  repo's existing "future caller, exercised by tests" convention.
- Added tests for every fix above plus the doc_index CLI's human-output
  path (previously the one sub-90%-coverage file).

See constructorfabric#104.

Verified: full pytest suite (4800 passed; the 12 failures present with or
without this change are macOS-local temp-dir path quirks and pre-existing
test-order flakiness, none in the files touched here), pylint and vulture
clean on the changed files, cfs validate 0 errors, spec-coverage
thresholds met.
