…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.

…aleness Neither of these existed before: doc_index.py indexed every heading at every level, with no notion of "one retrievable section", and its staleness check was whole-file only -- any edit anywhere invalidated the entire cached index, making a real per-section partial rebuild impossible regardless of how small the actual edit was. infer_section_level() picks which heading level represents one real section, using the level's *frequency* as the signal: a document's real recurring structure (its chapters) shows up as the level used most often, while an occasional heading at an anomalous level -- exactly what PDF-to-Markdown conversion produces, since it assigns levels by font-size heuristics, not semantic depth -- is rare precisely because it's noise, not structure. Levels used only once are excluded as candidates outright. This is a direct, verified fix for a real failure found earlier building this feature: a real PDF-converted document put all 8 of its actual chapters on H5 and a single stray subsection on H3; treating H3 as "the" section level (or any fixed level) turned the entire back half of the document into one fake 6,601-line "section". Re-run against that same document with this change: 12 correctly-sized real sections, not one. build_doc_index() now also computes retrieval_sections -- headings grouped at exactly the inferred level (off-level stray headings stay inside whichever section they geographically fall under, rather than splitting one apart), each with a SHA-256 hash of its own text. diff_stale_sections() compares a file's current content against its last cached build at this granularity and reports which sections actually changed, matched by position (not heading text -- duplicate titles are real, see toc-heading-duplicate) -- the piece needed for a future caller to re-summarize only what changed instead of the whole document. Registered the three new instructions in traceability-validation.md; whitelisted diff_stale_sections in vulture_whitelist.py alongside annotate_section_summary (same "future caller, exercised by tests" situation). New code is 100% covered; existing sections/annotate/etag behavior is untouched and still passing. See constructorfabric#104. Verified: pytest (test_doc_index.py + test_toc.py: 156 passed; full suite: 4815 passed, the same 12 pre-existing macOS-local/flaky failures as on main, none in the files touched here), pylint and vulture clean, cfs validate 0 errors, spec-coverage thresholds met, and infer_section_level re-run against the real PDF-converted document that originally exposed the bug.

…abric#109 - cmd_doc_index() built its output from the index but omitted retrieval_sections/section_level in both JSON and human output -- the new data constructorfabric#109 added was invisible through the CLI. Both are exposed now, and the human formatter lists retrieval sections the same way it already lists the finer-grained ones. - A write landing between read_text() and _compute_etag() in build_doc_index() could save headings parsed from the *old* content stamped with the *new* file's etag; load_doc_index() would then treat that stale index as valid until a later edit changed the etag again. _read_with_stable_etag() brackets the read with a stat snapshot on each side and retries on mismatch, so the saved etag is provably the one that matches what was actually parsed. - diff_stale_sections() reported changed/unchanged sections by heading text alone; two sections sharing a duplicate title (a real, already-flagged possibility -- see toc-heading-duplicate) couldn't be told apart. Each entry now carries line_start alongside the heading text, which is what a caller should actually use to address "this specific section" afterwards. - annotate_section_summary() updated only index["sections"], leaving the matching retrieval_sections entry at summary=None even on success -- a caller reading retrieval_sections (the more relevant list for a future per-section summarizer) couldn't see the annotation. Now updates both when both have an entry at line_start. - toc.py's _frontmatter_has_description() accepted `description: # TODO` and `description: ""` as satisfying the check, since `#` and `"` both match \S. Now parses the field's actual value and rejects comments and empty/whitespace-only quoted strings. Extracted _compute_fresh_retrieval_sections/_position_entry out of diff_stale_sections() to stay under pylint's local-variable limit after the line_start addition; registered the new instructions (stable-read, diff-stale-helpers) in traceability-validation.md. See constructorfabric#104. Verified: pytest (test_doc_index.py + test_toc.py: 166 passed, 100% coverage on touched doc_index files); full suite: 4825 passed, the same 12 pre-existing macOS-local/flaky failures as on constructorfabric#108/constructorfabric#109, none in files touched here; pylint and vulture clean; cfs validate 0 errors; spec-coverage thresholds met; infer_section_level/retrieval_sections re-verified against the real PDF-converted document that originally exposed the granularity bug -- still 12 correct sections.

…torfabric#109 - load_doc_index() returned a cached index whenever its etag matched, with no check that the cached shape matched what this version of the code expects. A cache written before section_level/retrieval_sections existed can still have a matching etag if the file hasn't changed since -- cmd_doc_index() would then hit a KeyError reading those fields on a legacy cache instead of a clean rebuild. Now treated the same as a stale cache: rebuilt, not returned as-is. - _frontmatter_has_description() treated a YAML block-scalar marker (`description: |`, `description: >-`, ...) as a usable value, when the real content -- if any -- belongs on indented lines below it, not on the marker's own line. Now checks the first non-blank following line for real indentation before counting it as a description. See constructorfabric#104. Verified: pytest (test_doc_index.py + test_toc.py: 172 passed, 100% coverage on touched doc_index files); full suite: 4831 passed, the same 12 pre-existing macOS-local/flaky failures as before, none in files touched here; pylint and vulture clean; cfs validate 0 errors; spec-coverage thresholds met; infer_section_level/retrieval_sections re-verified against the real PDF-converted document -- still 12 correct sections.

Two independently-testable JIT-retrieval mechanisms, both built on top of doc_index.py's retrieval_sections (constructorfabric#109) rather than re-deriving section boundaries themselves. tfidf.py: purely mechanical, no LLM call. Scores each retrieval section as sum(term-frequency x inverse-document-frequency) over a query's terms, and returns a margin/unambiguous confidence signal alongside the ranking, not just the ranking alone -- a routing layer built on top of this needs to know when the ranking itself isn't trustworthy. Verified against the real PDF-converted document referenced throughout this feature's design: the "KAPING" query is unambiguous (0.0016 vs 0.0000 everywhere else); the "zero-shot" query reproduces the documented real failure exactly (margin 1.06x, wrong section on top, since term frequency is normalized by section length and the real answer lives in a longer section than the one that wins). okf.py: deterministic cache/storage infrastructure, matching doc_index.py's own contract of containing no LLM-generated content -- writing an actual summary is an external caller's job (an agent, dispatched outside this codebase), same role as doc_index.annotate_section_summary one layer up. Tracks which concept files should exist against a document's *current* retrieval sections, detects staleness via the section hash recorded when a concept file was written (not a separate cache mechanism), and regenerates index.md deterministically from the manifest. The whole bundle lives under .cache/okf/ and is gitignored: unlike the content of a summary (expensive, real LLM tokens), the bundle not surviving a fresh clone just means it rebuilds the same way doc_index.py's own cache does. New CLI commands: `cfs tfidf-score <file> <query>`, `cfs okf-status <file>`. See constructorfabric#104. Verified: pytest (test_tfidf.py + test_okf.py + test_doc_index.py + test_toc.py: 227 passed, 100% coverage on all four new/touched command and util files); full suite: 4866 passed, the same 12 pre-existing macOS-local/flaky failures seen throughout this feature's development, none in files touched here; pylint and vulture clean; cfs validate 0 errors; spec-coverage thresholds met; a real end-to-end OKF write (bundle dir, manifest.json, index.md, concept file with frontmatter) run against a scratch project to confirm the mechanism works outside the test harness, not just inside it.

…ctorfabric#110 Adding commands/tfidf.py and commands/okf.py (both whole-file-scope claims, no instruction tracing) dropped the repo's spec-coverage granularity below its floor (0.4593 < 0.4600) -- the exact same failure shape constructorfabric#108 hit for utils/doc_index.py originally. commands/doc_index.py had the same gap already (pre-existing, just under the floor's margin until now). Added real @cpt-begin/@cpt-end instruction markers to all three command wrappers' main function and human-output formatter, registered as Supporting instructions under each module's existing algo ID. Along the way, instrumenting all three surfaced a real pylint duplicate- code finding: all three commands independently reimplemented the same "resolve a file-path CLI argument, emit the standard File-not-found ERROR result, return exit code 2" block. Extracted into ui.require_existing_file(), shared by all three (and available to any future single-file-argument command), registered under core-infra.md's existing render-info-human algo alongside ui.py's other generic helpers.

…torfabric#110 score_sections() already receives the resolved, correct file path as its own path parameter, but re-derived it a second time from index["path"] -- a string that round-tripped through the doc-index cache's JSON deserialization. SonarCloud's taint tracker (S2083) flags exactly this shape: a value crossing a file-content deserialization boundary before being used to construct a path for reading, rated BLOCKER regardless of real exploitability in a local CLI tool. The indirection was never needed -- get_or_build_doc_index() guarantees index["path"] == str(path.resolve()) by construction (see build_doc_index()), so reading from path.resolve() directly is exactly equivalent, removes the flagged taint flow entirely, and is simpler: no reason to bounce the path through the cache when the caller already has the real one in hand.

Exit-code truth table for tfidf-score and okf-status has multiple untested paths
Severity: Major
Problem
cmd_tfidf_score and cmd_okf_status each have exactly two exit-code sources: ui.require_existing_file()'s return 2 for a missing file, and argparse's own error handling for bad arguments. The existing tests exercise only a narrow slice of the paths that actually exist:
- A missing or malformed CLI argument (e.g.
cfs tfidf-score onlyonearg) is handled entirely insideargparse.ArgumentParser.parse_args, which callsparser.error(...)→sys.exit(2). This is a different code path from the testedrequire_existing_file-drivenreturn 2, and it has no test anywhere. okf-statuson a document with zero heading sections is never exercised — every fixture intest_okf.pyuses a document with 2-3 sections.tfidf-scorehas this exact case covered, butokf-statusdoes not.tfidf-scorewith an empty-string query is never exercised at the command level.- A directory passed as the file argument is untested for both commands (the underlying behavior is correct — see the related finding on
require_existing_file— just unverified).
How to reproduce
Preconditions: a checkout of this PR at its current head, working studio CLI.
- Run
python -m studio.cli tfidf-score onlyonefile.md(omitting the requiredquerypositional). - Observe the process exits with code 2, with a plain argparse usage string on stderr that the test suite never checks.
- Run
pytest test_tfidf.py test_okf.py -vand confirm no test invokes this scenario, nor the headingless-okf-status, empty-query-tfidf-score, or directory-argument scenarios.
Expected behavior
Every reachable exit code / output combination for both commands should have at least one test pinning its behavior, especially since these commands are documented as machine-parseable (--json) infrastructure.
Actual behavior
Only the "well-formed args + file missing" and "well-formed args + success" paths are tested. Argument-parsing failures, okf-status on a zero-section document, tfidf-score with an empty query, and directory arguments for either command are all unverified.

Impact
Regressions in argument validation, empty-query handling, zero-section OKF reporting, or directory rejection could ship silently — none of these paths would fail CI. Given these commands are explicitly built for AI-agent consumption via --json, an unnoticed behavior change in an untested edge case is more likely to surface as a downstream agent failure than a human-visible bug report.
Suggested correction
Add targeted tests: an argparse-failure case for both commands asserting SystemExit with code 2; an okf-status test using a headingless document, mirroring the existing tfidf-score equivalent; a tfidf-score command-level test with query=""; a directory-argument test for both commands.
How to verify
After adding the tests, run pytest test_tfidf.py test_okf.py -v and confirm each new case passes and exercises the intended code path.

Argument-parsing errors in tfidf-score and okf-status bypass the CLI's JSON output contract
Severity: Major
Problem
This project's own Definition of Done states: "All commands output JSON to stdout and use exit codes 0/1/2." Both cmd_tfidf_score and cmd_okf_status build their argparse parser and call parse_args(argv) directly inside the command function, with no wrapping try/except SystemExit. When a required positional argument is missing (or an unrecognized flag is passed), argparse's own parser.error() prints a plain-text usage: ... message to stderr and raises SystemExit(2) — bypassing ui.result() entirely, which is the sole mechanism in this codebase responsible for honoring --json mode. The CLI's own _main_impl catches SystemExit only to record the numeric exit code for telemetry and re-raises it unchanged; it does not translate the output into the JSON error contract.
How to reproduce
Preconditions: this PR's current head.
- Run
python -m studio.cli --json tfidf-score onlydoc.md(missing the requiredqueryargument). - Observe stderr contains argparse's plain-text usage banner, not a JSON payload.
- Compare with
python -m studio.cli --json tfidf-score /nonexistent.md somequery, which correctly emits{"file": ..., "status": "ERROR", "message": "File not found"}to stdout viaui.result. - Note both scenarios exit with code 2, but only the second honors the documented
--jsoncontract.
Expected behavior
Per the project's own DoD, every command should emit JSON to stdout under --json mode regardless of why it is failing, with exit codes limited to 0/1/2.
Actual behavior
A missing/malformed argument produces a plain-text, human-oriented usage message on stderr even when --json was requested — exactly the failure mode --json mode exists to prevent, since it is documented as being for AI-agent callers.

re-raises unchanged) ignored for this failure mode.
|
v
Process exits 2 -- caller expecting {"status": "ERROR", ...} on stdout
gets nothing on stdout and an unparseable stderr banner instead.
Impact
Any AI-agent or scripted caller that always passes --json and parses stdout as JSON will get an empty stdout payload and an unhandled non-JSON stderr string on this failure mode, likely crashing its own JSON parser or silently treating the failure as "no output" rather than a structured error.
Suggested correction
Wrap parse_args(argv) in both commands (or centrally, next to require_existing_file) so an argparse parse failure is caught and re-emitted through ui.result() with the standard {"status": "ERROR", "message": ...} shape before exiting with code 2, preserving the existing exit code while fixing the output channel/format.
How to verify
After the fix, running cfs --json tfidf-score doc.md (missing query) should print a JSON object with "status": "ERROR" to stdout and exit 2; add a regression test asserting the JSON parses and contains "status": "ERROR" for this scenario in both command test files.

Directory-argument rejection in require_existing_file is correct but has no test coverage
Severity: Minor
Problem
require_existing_file resolves the path and checks filepath.is_file(), which correctly returns False for a directory (unlike .exists(), which would incorrectly accept one). So passing a directory to tfidf-score or okf-status is handled correctly today — it falls into the same "File not found" ERROR branch as a genuinely missing path, returning exit code 2. However, this behavior is not verified by any test: the existing "missing file" tests for both commands pass a nonexistent file path, never an existing directory.
How to reproduce
- Read
require_existing_file— confirm the check is.is_file(), not.exists(). - Run
cfs tfidf-score /some/existing/directory somequery— confirm it correctly returns exit code 2 with"message": "File not found". - Search the test suites for any test passing a directory as the file argument — none exists.
Expected behavior
Correct, robustness-relevant edge-case behavior (rejecting directories rather than attempting to read one as a file) should be pinned by a test so a future refactor of require_existing_file doesn't silently regress it.
Actual behavior
The code is correct; the test suite gives no signal if this ever regresses.
cfs tfidf-score <directory> query
|
v
require_existing_file(directory_path)
|
v
Path(directory_path).resolve()
|
v
.is_file() -> False (correct: directories are not files)
|
v
ui.result({"status": "ERROR", "message": "File not found"})
return None -> command returns exit code 2
[No existing test exercises this branch]
Impact
Low — the current behavior is correct, so there is no active bug. The risk is purely regression-detection: a future change to require_existing_file could reintroduce directory-acceptance without any test failing.
Suggested correction
Add one test per command, passing the directory fixture itself (not a file inside it) as the file argument, asserting exit code 2 and the JSON "status": "ERROR".
How to verify
After adding the tests, temporarily change is_file() to exists() and confirm the new tests fail, proving they actually catch the regression; then revert and confirm they pass.

Degenerate-input behavior of score_sections (exact score ties, empty/stopword-only queries) is unpinned by tests
Severity: Minor
Problem
score_sections and its helper _confidence have well-defined behavior for two degenerate input classes — an exact score tie between the top two ranked sections, and a query that tokenizes to zero terms (empty string or stopword/short-token-only input) — but neither behavior is exercised by a test. The code path is currently correct by inspection, but nothing in the test suite would catch a regression in either path.
How to reproduce
- Inspect
_confidence: when the top two sections have identical positive scores, the function falls through toreturn ranked[0]["score"] / second_score, False, i.e.margin = 1.0,unambiguous = False. No test constructs two sections with identical positive scores. - Inspect
score_sections: ifquerytokenizes to[](e.g."", or a query made entirely of short/stopword tokens), every section scores0, and_confidencereturns(None, False). No test callsscore_sectionswith a literal empty or stopword-only query.
Expected behavior
Both degenerate cases should have an explicit regression test: an exact-tie test asserting margin == 1.0 and unambiguous is False, and an empty/stopword-only-query test asserting all-zero scores with margin is None and unambiguous is False.
Actual behavior
Both cases are currently correct only "by extension" of adjacent tests — neither is verified at the score_sections/_confidence level itself.
score_sections(path, query)
|
+-- query_terms = tokenize(query) <-- [] if query is "" or stopword-only
|
+-- _rank_sections(sections, doc_tokens, query_terms, idf)
| for each section:
| score = sum(tf(term)*idf(term) for term in query_terms)
| ^-- sum() over [] == 0 ---------------------+
| ranked.sort(key=score, reverse=True) |
| |
+-- _confidence(ranked) |
| |
+-- len(ranked) < 2 or ranked[0]["score"] <= 0 ? ------+---> (None, False) <-- empty-query case
| NO
+-- second_score = ranked[1]["score"]
|
+-- second_score == 0 ? -> (None, True) <-- distinctive-match case (already tested)
| NO
+-- return ranked[0]["score"] / ranked[1]["score"], False
^-- when ranked[0]["score"] == ranked[1]["score"]:
margin == 1.0, unambiguous == False <-- exact-tie case (UNTESTED)
Impact
Low. Both branches compute mathematically sensible, arguably-correct values today. The risk is purely regression-detection: a future refactor of _confidence or _rank_sections could silently change either behavior without any test failing.
Suggested correction
Add two tests: a tie test (two sections engineered to produce identical positive scores, asserting margin == 1.0 and unambiguous is False), and an empty-query test (asserting margin is None, unambiguous is False, all scores 0).
How to verify
After adding the two tests, run the test suite and confirm both pass against the current implementation without any production-code changes.

Retrieval sections silently drop preamble content before the first section heading
Severity: Major
Problem
_build_retrieval_sections() builds its section list only from headings at the inferred grouping level. The resulting sections start at the first such heading's line. Any content before that line — including a document title (H1) or intro paragraph — is never included in any retrieval_sections entry, even though it is preserved in the finer-grained sections list.
How to reproduce
- Take a document like:
# Title ## Section A Body of A. ## Section B Body of B. - Build the doc index. The inferred section level is H2.
- Inspect
retrieval_sections: it contains exactly two entries, "Section A" and "Section B" — the "Title" text (lines 1-2) appears in the parallelsectionslist but nowhere inretrieval_sections. - Content after the last heading IS correctly captured (the last section's
line_endextends to end-of-file) — only the leading boundary is broken.
Expected behavior
A retrieval consumer reading retrieval_sections should be able to find any text that exists in the document, including a title or introductory summary written before the first section heading.
Actual behavior
The title/preamble region is permanently invisible to whatever retrieval/summarization path consumes retrieval_sections.
line 1 # Title |
line 2 (blank) +-- silently excluded from retrieval_sections
line 3 ## Section A |
line 4 (blank) |
line 5 Body of A. +-- captured as "Section A"
line 6 (blank) |
line 7 ## Section B |
... +-- captured as "Section B"
Impact
Any Markdown document whose title or opening summary paragraph precedes the first section-level heading — the normal shape of nearly all real Markdown files — has that content permanently invisible to the retrieval corpus. This is easy to miss in testing that only checks the sections list.
Suggested correction
When there is content before the first section-level heading, either prepend a synthetic leading section spanning those lines (with a heading value marking it as preamble), or explicitly document/surface the exclusion via a top-level index field so callers can decide to include it.
How to verify
Add a test asserting that a document with a title/preamble before the first section-level heading either gets a preamble entry in retrieval_sections or the omission is explicit and queryable — not silent.

diff_stale_sections matches sections by position, so a pure reorder is reported as edits
Severity: Major
Problem
diff_stale_sections() zips the cached retrieval-sections list against the freshly parsed one by index and compares hash at each position — its own docstring acknowledges sections are matched by position, not heading text. Any change in section order, with zero textual edits, produces hash mismatches at every position from the earliest moved point onward.
How to reproduce
- Build and cache an index for a 2-section document (Section A, Section B).
- Rewrite the file with the two sections swapped, no text changed inside either.
- Call
diff_stale_sections. The fresh parse's position 0 now holds Section B's hash where the cache has Section A's hash, and vice versa at position 1. - Both sections are reported
changed;unchangedis empty, despite identical content.
Expected behavior
A caller relying on this function to "let callers skip unchanged sections' expensive re-work" should see both sections reported as unchanged, since neither one's text was edited — only document order changed.
Actual behavior
Both sections are reported changed, silently defeating the optimization the function exists to provide. This gets worse with more sections: moving one section to the front of an N-section document can misreport all N as changed.
Cached (by position): Fresh (by position):
pos 0: "Section A" hA pos 0: "Section B" hB <- mismatch
pos 1: "Section B" hB pos 1: "Section A" hA <- mismatch
Result: changed = [A, B], unchanged = []
Reality: no text was edited anywhere -- pure reorder.
Impact
Any downstream caller doing expensive per-section work (e.g. an LLM re-summarizing only sections flagged changed) will unnecessarily re-process every affected section whenever a document is reorganized without content edits.
Suggested correction
Match sections by a content-independent stable identity when possible before falling back to position — e.g. a heading-based match (guarding for legitimate duplicate headings), or a set-difference on hashes first: any hash present in both old and new sets, even at a different position, is unchanged content that merely moved.
How to verify
Add a regression test that reorders a document's sections without editing any text and asserts changed == [] (or that both sections are classified as moved-not-edited).

A heading immediately followed by a same-level heading produces an empty section indistinguishable from a genuinely short one
Severity: Minor
Problem
When two headings at the grouping level are adjacent with no content between them, the computed line_end equals line_start, producing a one-line slice (just the heading line itself) as the section's entire content. The schema has no field to distinguish this deliberately-empty section from a section that simply happens to be short.
How to reproduce
- Construct a document with two adjacent H2 headings and no body between them.
- Build the doc index. The first heading's section gets
line_start == line_end, and its hash is computed over just the heading text. - The resulting entry is structurally identical in shape to any other section — nothing marks it as empty.
Expected behavior
A caller iterating sections should be able to detect that a section has no body content, so it can skip summarization, warn, or merge it with a neighbor.
Actual behavior
No is_empty/body-length field exists; line_start == line_end is the only (undocumented, untested) signal.
line 1 ## Section A <- line_start=1, line_end=1 (empty body)
line 2 ## Section B <- next section starts here
line 3 (blank)
line 4 Body of B.
Impact
Downstream summarization/retrieval logic that assumes every section has meaningful body text may waste an LLM call summarizing a heading with no content, or produce a nonsensical summary. Low severity because the data is still technically correct, just sparse.
Suggested correction
Add a boolean or derived field (e.g. "empty": line_start == line_end) when constructing each section dict, so callers can filter or special-case these without re-deriving it from line numbers.
How to verify
Add a test with two adjacent same-level headings and assert the resulting section is flagged empty (once added), or at minimum assert current behavior so a future change doesn't silently alter it.

Section summaries in the plain sections list carry no content-hash provenance
Severity: Minor
Problem
annotate_section_summary() writes a summary string into the matching entry of the plain sections list (matched by line_start) but never records what section-content hash was current at write time. Unlike retrieval_sections, entries in the plain sections list have no hash field at all.
How to reproduce
- Build and cache an index, then call
annotate_section_summaryfor a section. - Inspect the
sectionslist entry: it now has asummarybut nohashkey anywhere in the dict. - There is no way to later verify, independent of the whole-file cache invalidation, whether a previously-read summary corresponds to the content it was actually summarized against.
Expected behavior
Any persisted summary should carry enough provenance (e.g. the content-hash it was generated against) to let a caller later verify the summary still describes current content, independent of coarse etag/schema invalidation.
Actual behavior
The sections list has no hash field at all, so a summary living there has zero content-provenance data.
Impact
Low severity because the existing whole-file etag and per-retrieval-section hash mechanisms already invalidate stale summaries at the cache-rebuild boundary. The gap only matters for a caller wanting finer-grained, section-only provenance tracking.
Suggested correction
Add a hash field to each entry in the plain sections list (computed the same way _build_retrieval_sections already does), and have annotate_section_summary stamp a summary_hash alongside summary.
How to verify
Add a test asserting sections entries carry a hash field, and that annotate_section_summary records the hash-at-write-time value comparable against a freshly computed section hash.

No general schema-version field; forward compatibility depends on manually extending a hardcoded checklist
Severity: Minor
Problem
The schema-compatibility check hardcodes exactly two historical gaps (required top-level fields; presence of hash in every retrieval-section entry). There is no generic schema_version field written into the persisted cache at all.
How to reproduce
- Read the schema-compatibility function: it is an itemized, additive checklist — each schema-breaking change discovered so far required someone to notice the gap and hand-add a new clause.
- This has already happened twice (both caught by prior review rounds on this exact file).
- There is no
schema_versionfield that would make a future structural change automatically detected without a further code change to this specific function.
Expected behavior
A persisted cache format should carry an explicit version marker so a future incompatible change is handled generically — bump the constant and the load path forces a rebuild on any old version.
Actual behavior
Compatibility is exclusively enumerative: only the two already-known gaps are caught.
Impact
Low current risk (the two known gaps are guarded), but this is a maintainability gap: the pattern that already produced two review-driven fixes in this exact function is not itself closed off, so a third occurrence of the same class of bug remains equally likely.
Suggested correction
Add a schema_version integer to the persisted cache, and gate the load path primarily on that, with the itemized field-presence checks retained only as defense-in-depth for caches that predate the version field's introduction.
How to verify
Add a test that writes a cache with a deliberately mismatched/absent schema_version (but otherwise structurally-complete fields) and asserts it is rejected and rebuilt automatically.

OKF bundle writes are non-atomic and unlocked, risking lost updates and crash-amplified status resets
Severity: Major
Problem
All three OKF bundle writes — the manifest.json write, the concept-file write, and the index.md write — use bare Path.write_text(...) with no file locking and no temp-file+os.replace atomicity. This creates two related failure modes from the same root cause: (1) two concurrent writers can interleave or lose each other's updates (a read-modify-write race, since manifest updates are load-then-merge-then-save), and (2) a process crash mid-write can leave manifest.json truncated/corrupt, which the manifest loader treats as "no manifest" — resetting every previously-current section's status back to "missing," not just the one being written.
How to reproduce
- Call the concept-file writer for two different sections from two threads/processes at nearly the same time, both racing the same bundle's manifest.json.
- Both load the manifest, each computes its own merged entry set from that snapshot, and each saves — whichever finishes last overwrites the file wholesale, silently dropping the other's entry.
- Separately: kill the process (or simulate by truncating the file) partway through the manifest.json write.
- Check status afterward: the manifest load now fails (corrupt JSON), and every section that was previously "current" reports "missing," even though only one write was in flight.
Expected behavior
A manifest write should be atomic (readers only ever see the fully-old or fully-new file, never a torn write), and a crash mid-write should leave the previous valid manifest intact so unrelated sections keep their real status.
Actual behavior
Writes are neither atomic nor exclusive; concurrent writers can lose updates, and a crash can corrupt the whole file, collapsing all previously-current statuses to "missing."
Writer A: load manifest {1:X} merge {1:X,2:Y} write_text -----> saved
Writer B: load manifest {1:X} merge {1:X,3:Z} write_text --> saved (LAST WINS)
Result: entry 2:Y lost even though both writers "succeeded"
Crash mid-write:
old manifest.json: {1:current, 2:current, 3:current} (valid, on disk)
write_text("...") ---- process killed here ----
manifest.json: "{1: current, 2: cur" (truncated garbage)
load_okf_manifest -> None -> get_okf_status: 1,2,3 all report "missing"
Impact
Silent data loss under concurrent writers (a real scenario given the module's own docstring describes an external agent as the writer), plus disproportionate availability/blast-radius damage from any interrupted write — a crash while summarizing section 47 of 50 can make all 50 look unsummarized, forcing unnecessary re-work. No test exercises either scenario.
Suggested correction
Write to a temp file in the same directory and os.replace() it into place for manifest.json, the concept file, and index.md — this alone fixes the crash/corruption blast-radius problem, since a crash mid-write then simply leaves the prior valid manifest in place. For the concurrent-writer lost-update problem, atomic replace alone is not sufficient (the race is in the load-merge-save cycle); add a file lock around the full read-modify-write sequence.
How to verify
Add a test that runs two concept-file writes for different sections concurrently and asserts the final manifest contains both entries. Add a test that simulates a crash mid-write and asserts previously-current sections are not reset to "missing" once atomic replace is in place.

Concept-file YAML frontmatter is built by unescaped string interpolation of external text
Severity: Major
Problem
The concept-file writer builds each file's YAML frontmatter with raw f-string interpolation of the section heading and the caller-supplied description — neither value is escaped or quoted. The description is explicitly documented as coming from an external caller (an LLM-driven agent producing a summary), so its content is not controlled by this module.
How to reproduce
- Write a concept file with a description like
"Explains state: transitions". - The resulting frontmatter line is
description: Explains state: transitions— an unquoted YAML scalar containing an embedded colon-space sequence, which most YAML parsers treat as invalid/ambiguous rather than plain text. - Alternatively, write one with a description containing an embedded
"\n---\ntitle: hijacked\nextra_field: injected\n---\n\n". - The frontmatter block now closes early, and everything after the injected
---becomes a second, attacker-influenced frontmatter block, introducing arbitrary extra keys that were never part of the intended metadata.
Expected behavior
Any string value placed inside the YAML frontmatter should be safely quoted/escaped so it can never alter the document's structure, regardless of what characters it contains.
Actual behavior
Values are interpolated verbatim; a colon, a literal newline, or a --- line inside the description (or heading) can produce invalid YAML or let the value inject new top-level frontmatter keys.
Intended: Actual (description has embedded "\n---\n"):
--- ---
title: Introduction title: Introduction
description: Summary. description: Summary.
resource: doc.md#L1-L5 --- <- premature close
generated: {...} title: hijacked
--- extra_field: injected
--- <- reopened block
<body>
<body> (now shifted / partially swallowed)
Impact
Concept files are silently malformed or have their metadata spoofed. Because the description is populated by an LLM summarizing arbitrary document content, a document containing an indirect-prompt-injection payload aimed at that summarizer could ride through into the description and manipulate the OKF bundle's own stored metadata — a real integrity issue confined to this local, gitignored cache (no code execution or cross-boundary effect observed).
Suggested correction
Emit the frontmatter with a real YAML serializer instead of manual string formatting, or at minimum wrap the heading/description in YAML double-quoted scalars with proper escaping of quotes and newlines.
How to verify
Add tests that pass a description containing a colon, a double quote, and an embedded newline+--- sequence; parse the written concept file's frontmatter with a YAML parser and assert it round-trips to the exact original string with no extra keys, no parse error, and no leakage into/truncation of the body.

Generated index.md cannot represent missing or stale OKF status, unlike the CLI
Severity: Minor
Problem
The index.md renderer only iterates the manifest's own entries and renders heading/concept_file/description — there is no status field anywhere in the template. Consequently: (a) a retrieval section that has never been summarized has no manifest entry at all, so it never appears in index.md — the artifact has no way to say "this section is missing"; (b) for entries that are listed, a stale entry (source changed since it was written) renders identically to a current one.
How to reproduce
- Build a 3-section document, check status before writing anything — sections are "missing," but index.md doesn't exist yet.
- Write a concept file for section 1, then edit the source so section 1 becomes "stale."
- Read index.md: the line for section 1 is byte-for-byte the same as when it was "current" — nothing distinguishes stale from current, and the other sections still don't appear at all.
Note: the CLI's own status reporting (cfs okf-status) is NOT affected by this gap — it reads status directly, not index.md, and correctly reports missing/stale/current for every section, confirmed by existing tests. This finding is scoped to index.md as a secondary, best-effort artifact.
Expected behavior
A human or tool skimming the generated index.md should be able to tell which sections exist vs. are unwritten, and which listed ones are trustworthy (current) vs. out of date (stale) — or the artifact should be explicitly scoped to not attempt this.
Actual behavior
index.md can only communicate "here is what's been written," with no fidelity for the other two states.
Impact
Low. cfs okf-status (the primary, tested status-reporting surface) already gives a complete and accurate picture. index.md is a secondary, best-effort generated artifact; its limitation could mislead someone who treats it as a status report rather than a content listing.
Suggested correction
Either explicitly scope index.md's contract in its docstring/header to "a listing of concept files that currently exist, not a status report — use cfs okf-status for status," or extend the renderer to take the full section list and render a status marker per line plus an explicit count of not-yet-summarized sections.
How to verify
Regenerate index.md after marking a section stale and confirm it now shows a visible stale indicator distinct from current entries; regenerate against a document with unwritten sections and confirm they are either listed with a missing marker or the artifact's stated scope makes clear it only lists written concepts.

Section summaries can be silently misattributed to the wrong section when a document is edited between read and write-back
Severity: Major
Problem
annotate_section_summary matches a section purely by its line_start value, with no content-hash cross-check. The plain sections list carries no hash field at all (only retrieval_sections entries have one), so there is no mechanism to detect that the section now occupying a given line_start is not the section the caller actually read and summarized.
How to reproduce
- A caller reads the doc index and finds a section titled "Old Heading" starting at
line_start=10; it produces a summary for that section's text. - Before the caller writes the summary back, the document is edited (lines inserted above line 10) and the cache is rebuilt, so the section now starting at
line_start=10is a completely different section, "New Unrelated Heading". - The original caller calls
annotate_section_summary(path, line_start=10, summary=<summary for Old Heading>). - The function loads the current index, matches on
line_start == 10, and attaches the stale summary to "New Unrelated Heading" — with no error and aTruereturn.
Expected behavior
A summary produced for one section's content should never end up attached to a different section; the write should be rejected or require re-resolution when the target position's identity has changed since it was read.
Actual behavior
The mismatched write always succeeds silently.
t0: index v1 t1: edit above line 10 t2: index v2 (rebuilt)
line 10: "Old Heading" -------------------------> line 10: "New Unrelated Heading"
| ^
| caller reads "Old Heading" @ line_start=10 |
+---- annotate_section_summary(line_start=10, summary) ---+
matches by line_start only -> WRONG section updated
Impact
Silent cache corruption: a section can carry a summary that describes entirely different content, undetectably, and this propagates into any concept file, index.md entry, or retrieval result built from that cache entry.
Suggested correction
Add a hash field to sections entries (mirroring retrieval_sections), and have annotate_section_summary compare it against the current section's live hash before mutating, failing/returning False on mismatch so the caller can re-resolve and retry.
How to verify
Add a test that builds an index, edits the document so a different section now starts at a previously-recorded line_start, rebuilds the cache, then calls annotate_section_summary with the stale line_start; today it wrongly succeeds — after a fix it should fail safely.

index.md regeneration keeps listing deleted concept files with dead links
Severity: Major
Problem
_render_index_md unconditionally renders a line for every manifest entry with no check that the concept file still exists on disk. Concept-file writes regenerate index.md from the manifest on every call — including calls that only touch an unrelated section — so a manifest entry whose concept file was deleted keeps appearing in index.md, linking to a file that no longer exists. The existence check already added to status reporting is never consulted here.
How to reproduce
- Build a doc index for a two-section document and write concept files for both, producing
01-intro.md,02-details.md, and anindex.mdlinking both. - Manually delete
01-intro.mdfrom the bundle directory. - Check status — it correctly reports the Introduction entry as "missing".
- Write the concept file for the Details section only (an ordinary, unrelated update).
- Read the regenerated
index.md.
Expected behavior
index.md should stop listing (or should visibly flag) the Introduction entry once its concept file is gone, consistent with what status reporting already knows.
Actual behavior
index.md still contains the Introduction bullet with its old description — a dead link — unchanged, even though the status function knows the file is gone.
manifest.json: [{Introduction, concept_file: 01-introduction.md}, {Details, ...}]
disk: 01-introduction.md <-- DELETED
02-details.md
write_concept_file(Details, ...)
-> _render_index_md(manifest["entries"]) // no disk existence check
-> index.md:
* [Introduction](01-introduction.md) - ... <-- broken link, never pruned
* [Details](02-details.md) - ...
Impact
Any consumer navigating index.md follows a dead link for a section the status function already knows is missing; the two views of the same bundle disagree indefinitely.
Suggested correction
Before rendering, filter manifest entries to those whose concept file still exists on disk, or compute status and pass it into the renderer so a missing entry can be rendered distinctly or omitted.
How to verify
Write two concept files, delete one from disk, write only the other section again, and assert the resulting index.md excludes or clearly flags the deleted section's entry.

Concurrent summary writes to the doc-index cache can silently lose each other's updates
Severity: Major
Problem
annotate_section_summary performs a read-modify-write cycle: load the entire cached index into memory, mutate one section's summary in that copy, and overwrite the whole cache file with it. There is no file lock, no compare-and-swap/version check, and no atomic write. Because each caller holds a full copy of the whole index rather than a diff, two concurrent callers — even ones targeting different sections — can race: whichever save lands last wins in full, silently discarding the other caller's already-persisted change.
How to reproduce
- Build a doc index for a document with "Section A" (
line_start=3) and "Section B" (line_start=11). - Caller 1 loads the index into copy1, intending to annotate Section A.
- Before caller 1 saves, caller 2 completes annotating Section B, persisting its summary successfully.
- Caller 1 finishes annotating Section A using copy1 (which still has Section B's summary as
None) and saves, overwriting the file. - Read the persisted cache.
Expected behavior
Both Section A's and Section B's summaries should be present after both calls complete, regardless of interleaving.
Actual behavior
The final file has Section A's summary set but Section B's summary reverted to None — caller 2's already-saved update vanishes, with no error or log.
t0 Caller1: load -> copy1 {A: None, B: None}
t1 Caller2: load -> copy2 {A: None, B: None}
t2 Caller2: copy2.B = "B summary"; save(copy2) -> disk {A: None, B: "B summary"}
t3 Caller1: copy1.A = "A summary"; save(copy1) -> disk {A: "A summary", B: None}
^^^^ lost update
Impact
In any workflow where multiple summarization calls for the same file happen close together (parallel workers, retries, batch enrichment), already-persisted summaries can vanish without warning, forcing wasted re-summarization and making cache contents non-deterministic based on timing.
Suggested correction
Serialize writes to a given file's doc-index cache with a file lock held across the load-mutate-save sequence, or implement optimistic concurrency: stamp a version/etag on load and refuse a write whose base version doesn't match what's currently on disk.
How to verify
Simulate the interleaving directly in a test — load two in-memory copies, mutate each independently, save in sequence — and assert that today the first-saved summary is lost; after a fix, assert both summaries survive or the second save is rejected/retried.

okf-status human output omits the concept file path shown in JSON
Severity: Minor
Problem
cfs okf-status <file> reports, per retrieval section, whether its OKF concept file is missing, stale, or current. The underlying data computes and returns a concept_file name for every entry, but the human-readable renderer drops that field entirely — it only shows status, line range, and heading.
How to reproduce
- Run
cfs okf-status some-doc.md(human output, the default). - Run
cfs okf-status some-doc.md --jsonfor the same file. - Compare the two outputs for the same section entry.
Expected behavior
Human output should show enough information to locate the concept file on disk for any entry, particularly ones flagged missing or stale where a user is most likely to want to inspect or regenerate it — mirroring the full human/JSON field parity that other similar commands (e.g. tfidf-score) maintain.
Actual behavior
Human output for each entry only prints [ stale] [120-145] Installation. The JSON output for the identical entry additionally carries "concept_file": "03-installation.md" — that field never reaches the human view.
get_okf_status()
entries: [{heading, line_start, line_end, concept_file, status}, ...]
|
+--> JSON mode --------------------> concept_file INCLUDED
|
+--> _human_okf_status() --> "[{status}] [{line_start}-{line_end}] {heading}"
concept_file DROPPED
Impact
Low. This is a read-only reporting command; no data is lost or corrupted. A user reading the human-formatted report who wants to open/inspect/delete the concept file for a stale or missing entry has no direct way to do so from the output — they'd need to either re-run with --json or manually reconstruct the filename, and the position counter isn't exposed in human mode either, making manual reconstruction unreliable.
Suggested correction
Add the concept file name to the per-entry line in _human_okf_status, e.g. appending -> {entry['concept_file']}.
How to verify
After the fix, run cfs okf-status <file> on a document with at least one missing/stale/current section and confirm each printed line includes the same concept_file value that JSON mode reports for that section.

Doc-index docstring overstates read-stability guarantee that the implementation only provides on a best-effort, bounded basis
Severity: Minor
Problem
This doc claims a doc-index read is "provably the one that matches what was actually parsed even if a write lands in the narrow window during the read." In reality, the retry loop backing this is bounded (a small fixed max attempts); if the file keeps changing across all attempts, the function gives up and returns the last read anyway, unverified. The absolute "provably ... even if" phrasing omits this bounded-retry caveat entirely.
How to reproduce
- Read
_read_with_stable_etag's own docstring inutils/doc_index.py— it retries a bounded number of times, then falls through to returning the last read paired with its own trailing etag, with no success verification. - Compare against this doc's claim, which has no such qualifier.
- Note the existing regression test that explicitly exercises and asserts this give-up path, confirming the caveat is a known, intentional, but undocumented-at-this-level behavior.
Expected behavior
A "provably" claim should state the actual guarantee precisely: the read is verified to match when two stat snapshots agree, and after a bounded number of retries under sustained contention, the function falls back to an unverified-but-safe result.
Actual behavior
The doc's "provably ... even if" phrasing has no qualifier for the bounded-retry give-up case, even though the function's own inline docstring is accurate about it.
_read_with_stable_etag(path):
for i in range(MAX_READ_ATTEMPTS):
etag_before = etag_after
content = read(path)
etag_after = compute_etag(path)
if etag_before == etag_after:
return content, etag_after <-- verified match (doc's "provably" case)
return content, etag_after <-- give-up path: UNVERIFIED, but doc claims "provably" unconditionally
Impact
Low-risk in practice (the give-up direction is safe — it will simply look stale again on the next check), but the feature-level doc overstates certainty. Anyone citing this doc as the source of truth could incorrectly treat the fingerprint as unconditionally trustworthy.
Suggested correction
Mirror the accurate, bounded phrasing already present in the function's own docstring — e.g. "provably matches when the two stat snapshots agree; under sustained contention past the retry limit, it falls back to the last read with an unverified etag, which is safe because it will simply be detected as stale again on the next check."
How to verify
Re-read this section after the fix and confirm the retry-bound caveat is present, and that the existing give-up-path regression test still passes unchanged.

No test exercises TF-IDF/doc-index behavior at the document scale that caused the real bug motivating this feature
Severity: Minor
Problem
infer_section_level's docstring explicitly cites a real, prior failure: a PDF-converted document that put all 8 real chapters on H5 with one stray H3 subsection, which under a naive fixed-level assumption silently turned the back half of a real ~6,601-line document into one fake section. This is the motivating regression for the whole level-inference mechanism. However, no test in the suite reproduces anything close to that scale — every fixture is a handful of short sections. The closest test checks the level-inference math against a synthetic list of heading tuples, validating the algorithm's decision logic, but never runs the full pipeline (build, section splitting, hashing, TF-IDF scoring) against an actually large document.
How to reproduce
- Read the
infer_section_leveldocstring — it references the 6,601-line failure case. - Search the test files for any fixture approaching that scale — none exists; the largest samples are a handful of short sections.
- Confirm the closest regression test operates purely on a synthetic list of heading tuples passed directly to
infer_section_level, bypassing file I/O, section building, and hashing entirely.
Expected behavior
Given the docstring calls out a specific real-world failure at a specific scale, the test suite should include at least one end-to-end test building a doc index (and ideally scoring it with TF-IDF) against a document of comparable size/section count.
Actual behavior
Coverage for the level-inference heuristic exists only at the unit level against a hand-built heading list; no fixture reproduces the actual multi-thousand-line document shape that caused the original bug.
Real failure case (per docstring): Current test coverage:
8 chapters @ H5 infer_section_level([9 synthetic tuples]) <- unit-level only
1 stray subsection @ H3 |
~6,601 lines total v
| (validates formula, not pipeline)
v
build_doc_index() / _build_retrieval_sections()
/ score_sections() <-- NEVER exercised at this scale
Impact
Low likelihood of an undetected regression today, since the core formula is unit-tested, but full-pipeline behavior at realistic document scale remains unverified. A future change to section building or line-range computation could reintroduce a scale-dependent bug without any test catching it.
Suggested correction
Add one integration-level test that generates a synthetic multi-thousand-line document shaped like the real failure case, runs it through the full build pipeline, and asserts section count, correct line-range partitioning, and (optionally) correct TF-IDF ranking.
How to verify
Run the new large-document test and confirm it passes; then temporarily reintroduce a scale-sensitive bug (e.g. break the last-section line-end calculation) to confirm the new test actually fails.

validate-toc human-readable output silently drops all warning detail for files that have warnings but no errors
(Note: this bug lives in the pre-existing _human_validate_toc function, around line 118-134, which this PR does not directly touch but whose behavior this PR's new warnings now depend on for visibility. Anchored here at the nearest changed line.)
Severity: Major
Problem
The human-output renderer only prints warning detail inside the branch for status == "FAIL". Any file whose validation result is WARN (warnings present, no errors) instead falls into the generic else branch, which prints only "<path>: WARN" with no listing of what the warnings actually are. This means the four newly added JIT-retrieval readiness warnings (duplicate headings, depth jumps, oversized sections, missing description) are present in the JSON payload but completely invisible in human/non-JSON mode for the expected common case of a WARN-only file.
How to reproduce
- Re-derive the branch logic:
statusis"FAIL"if there are errors, else"WARN"if there are warnings, else"PASS". - The human renderer:
PASS→ unchanged marker;FAIL→ prints errors and warnings; everything else (WARNandERROR) → prints only"<path>: {status}", no detail. - Run
cfs validate-toc some-file.md(no--verbose, human mode) on a file with warnings and zero errors — output is onlysome-file.md: WARN, no indication of which warning fired.
Expected behavior
A WARN-status file should have its warning list printed in human mode, the same way a FAIL-status file prints both its errors and warnings — the data is already computed and present; only the display branch is missing.
Actual behavior
The catch-all else branch discards all detail for both WARN and ERROR statuses, printing only the bare status string.
status == "PASS" -> unchanged marker
status == "FAIL" -> prints errors[] + warnings[]
status == "WARN" -> falls into else -> "<path>: WARN" <- warnings[] never printed
status == "ERROR" -> falls into else -> "<path>: ERROR"
Impact
This defeats the CLI's own human-mode presentation of the exact feature this PR introduces. Anyone running the command interactively (not piping JSON) sees zero actionable feedback about heading duplicates, depth jumps, oversized sections, or missing descriptions on any file that doesn't also have a hard error.
Suggested correction
Add an explicit elif status == "WARN": branch that prints the file's warnings the same way the FAIL branch does.
How to verify
Add a test capturing human-mode stdout for a WARN-only file and assert the specific warning text appears in the printed output, not just the bare WARN status line.
…on PR constructorfabric#111 - cascade.py: Tier 2 no longer recommends OKF for a no-candidate (row 1) query unless every section in the bundle is current, not just some -- the external file-selector could otherwise land on a stale/missing one. - okf.py: manifest entries are now matched by document position instead of line_start, so unrelated content changing size elsewhere in the document no longer misreports an untouched section as missing; and load_okf_manifest validates entry shape before returning, so a malformed manifest (hand-edited or from a schema this module predates) triggers a clean rebuild instead of a KeyError in a consumer. - tfidf.py: a single retrieval section with a positive score is now unambiguous (nothing to be confused with), instead of always escalating. - decision_log.py: summarize_reads() skips a read event whose payload isn't a dict, or whose tokens/lines aren't numeric, instead of raising. - doc_index.py: cache schema validation now also requires "sections", closing the same class of gap already fixed for "hash" on PR constructorfabric#110. - toc.py: the YAML block-scalar header regex now accepts both indicator orders and a trailing comment, matching the real YAML 1.2.2 grammar.

TF-IDF scoring and OKF status computation have no size, count, or resource bounds
Severity: Minor
Problem
score_sections() and OKF's status/regeneration functions process an entire document's retrieval sections and full file content with no cap on section count, file size, or token/term count, and no early exit for pathologically large documents.
How to reproduce
- Call
score_sections(path, query)on a Markdown file with, say, 50,000 headings/sections or a file that is hundreds of MB. - The function unconditionally reads the whole file, tokenizes every section, and builds an IDF table over all sections and a full ranking pass — with no configurable/hard limit anywhere in the call chain.
- Similarly, the OKF status function iterates every retrieval section with no cap, and the concept-file writer performs unbounded file writes per section with no batch/size guard.
Expected behavior
Given these commands are explicitly documented as JIT-retrieval infrastructure intended to keep large documents cheap to query, some upper bound would guard against runaway CPU/memory use on adversarial or accidentally huge input.
Actual behavior
Both are fully eager: tokenization runs a regex over the entire section text with no length guard, the IDF table iterates every section's token set, and ranking scores every section against every query term — all without any short-circuit for excessive scale.
score_sections(path, query)
|
+- get_or_build_doc_index(path) # no cap on section count
+- read_text(whole file) # no size cap
+- tokenize() per section # no per-section length cap
+- build IDF table over ALL sections # O(sections)
+- rank ALL sections vs query terms # O(sections * terms), no top-K short-circuit
Impact
A single invocation against an unusually large or adversarially large Markdown file (e.g., a converted PDF with tens of thousands of headings, per the module's own admitted PDF-conversion scenario) could consume disproportionate CPU/memory/time with no configurable limit.
Suggested correction
Add a soft cap (with a clear error/warning) on section count and/or file size before scoring, or document the assumption that these commands are for JIT-retrieval-scale documents only, with a guard that fails fast above a stated threshold.
How to verify
Run the command against a synthetically generated Markdown file with a very large number of headings/sections and confirm there is no early exit, cap, or warning — only a full linear scan proportional to input size.

| ### Document Index |

New Document Index / TF-IDF / OKF commands are tagged into the "Validate Artifacts" flow they do not participate in
(Anchored here at the new "Document Index" section header; the finding also concerns the "TF-IDF Scoring" and "OKF Bundle" sections below it, and the @Cpt-Flow tags in commands/tfidf.py and commands/okf.py, and the "Validate Artifacts" flow definition earlier in this same file.)
Severity: Major
Problem
This feature doc's own stated purpose is to validate artifact IDs, cross-references, and code markers. This PR adds three new capabilities — Document Index, TF-IDF Scoring, and OKF Bundle — that are pure JIT-retrieval/document-navigation infrastructure with no validation role. Yet the corresponding new CLI command modules tag themselves as members of the "Validate Artifacts" flow, and that flow's own documented steps never invoke or reference any of the three. The project's own cli.py command taxonomy independently agrees these commands are not validation commands.
How to reproduce
- Open the "Validate Artifacts" flow section. Read all 11 Steps and the Supporting list: they cover context loading, artifact resolution, per-artifact structure validation, cross-artifact validation, code-marker cross-validation, fixing-prompt enrichment, and report emission. None mention doc-index, tfidf, or okf.
- Open the new command modules: both
tfidf.pyandokf.pycarry the module-level tag@cpt-flow:cpt-studio-flow-traceability-validation-validate:p1. - Open
cli.py's command-section grouping:doc-index,tfidf-score, andokf-statusare listed under "Utility", while "Validation" contains onlyvalidate,validate-kits,validate-toc,spec-coverage,check-language.
Expected behavior
A command's @cpt-flow tag should name the flow it actually implements steps for. If these are JIT-retrieval utility commands rather than part of artifact validation, they should either be tagged against a flow that actually documents their steps, or the "Validate Artifacts" flow's steps should be updated to actually include them if that's intended.
Actual behavior
The tag claims flow membership that the flow's own steps don't support, and the CLI's own command grouping (Utility, not Validation) contradicts the tag.
traceability-validation.md
+- Validate Artifacts flow (cpt-studio-flow-traceability-validation-validate)
Steps 1-11: load context -> resolve artifacts -> validate structure ->
cross-validate -> validate code -> enrich -> return report
(no mention of doc-index / tfidf / okf anywhere)
commands/tfidf.py @cpt-flow:cpt-studio-flow-traceability-validation-validate:p1 <- claims membership
commands/okf.py @cpt-flow:cpt-studio-flow-traceability-validation-validate:p1 <- claims membership
cli.py _COMMAND_SECTIONS:
"Validation" = [validate, validate-kits, validate-toc, spec-coverage, check-language]
"Utility" = [toc, chunk-input, doc-index, tfidf-score, okf-status, pdsl] <- where they actually live
Impact
This is a self-inconsistency in the project's own traceability-marker system, introduced by this PR's own new code. Because the referenced flow ID is real (not a typo/orphan), deterministic validation will not catch this — a marker pointing at an existing-but-wrong flow ID passes structurally. Anyone navigating the ID graph to understand what participates in artifact validation will be misled into believing TF-IDF/OKF/doc-index are part of the validation flow.
Suggested correction
Either introduce a distinct flow ID for the JIT-retrieval/document-navigation commands and retag all three command modules against it, or explicitly extend the "Validate Artifacts" flow's steps to name these three as legitimate participants if that's actually intended.
How to verify
Re-read the "Validate Artifacts" flow steps and confirm no doc-index/tfidf/okf reference exists; grep the three command modules for @cpt-flow: and confirm the tag they carry; compare against cli.py's command-section grouping.

tfidf-score --help omits the confidence signal the feature depends on for safe use
Severity: Minor
Problem
The architecture documentation explicitly frames the margin/unambiguous confidence signal as essential — a routing layer built on top "needs to know when the ranking itself isn't trustworthy, not just what it is." But this command's argparse --help text never mentions it, so a user relying only on --help has no way to learn the response carries a trustworthiness signal at all.
How to reproduce
- Run
cfs tfidf-score --help. - The description reads only "Rank a Markdown file's retrieval sections against a query via TF-IDF." The two positional argument helps describe only the file path and query text.
- None of these strings mention
margin,confidence, orunambiguous, even though the JSON output always includesmarginandunambiguousfields, and the human-readable formatter prominently surfaces a "confidence:" line. - Contrast with
okf-status's description, which does name its missing/stale/current status concept directly in--help.
Expected behavior
Since the architecture doc treats the confidence signal as integral to safe use of the ranking, --help should at least gesture at this.
Actual behavior
--help describes only the ranking mechanism, leaving the confidence signal to be discovered only by reading the JSON output, the source, or the architecture doc.
$ cfs tfidf-score --help
usage: cfs tfidf-score [-h] file query
Rank a Markdown file's retrieval sections against a query via TF-IDF.
positional arguments:
file Markdown file path
query Query text to score sections against
<- no mention of margin/confidence/unambiguous
$ cfs tfidf-score doc.md "some query"
{"margin": 1.06, "unambiguous": false, "ranked": [...]}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ surprises a --help-only user
Impact
A caller who reads only --help before scripting against this command could reasonably treat the top-ranked section as authoritative, unaware that a low margin/non-unambiguous result is a documented, real failure mode the tool itself is trying to flag.
Suggested correction
Extend the argparse description to state that the result includes a margin/confidence indicator and that callers should check it before trusting the top-ranked section, mirroring how okf-status's description already names its status categories.
How to verify
Run cfs tfidf-score --help and confirm the printed description contains no reference to margin, confidence, or unambiguous; compare against cfs okf-status --help, whose description does name its status categories.

Depends on #108 and #109 — diff will shrink once those merge
This branches from
jit-retrieval-cascade(on top of #109, which is on top of #108) —doc_index.py'sretrieval_sectionsdon't exist onmainyet, so until #108/#109 merge this diff includes their changes too. Once they land, I'll rebase this branch onto the newmain; the diff here will shrink to just what this PR adds.Summary
Two independently-testable JIT-retrieval mechanisms, both built on top of
doc_index.py'sretrieval_sections(#109) rather than re-deriving section boundaries themselves.tfidf.py— TF-IDF scoringPurely mechanical, no LLM call. Scores each retrieval section as sum(term-frequency x inverse-document-frequency) over a query's terms, and returns a margin/unambiguous confidence signal alongside the ranking, not just the ranking alone — a routing layer built on top of this needs to know when the ranking itself isn't trustworthy, not just what it is.
Verified against the real PDF-converted document referenced throughout this feature's design: the "KAPING" query is unambiguous (0.0016 vs. 0.0000 everywhere else); the "zero-shot" query reproduces the documented real failure exactly (margin 1.06x, wrong section on top, since term frequency is normalized by section length and the real answer lives in a longer section than the one that wins).
okf.py— a local OKF bundleDeterministic cache/storage infrastructure, matching
doc_index.py's own contract of containing no LLM-generated content — writing an actual summary is an external caller's job (an agent, dispatched outside this codebase), the same role asdoc_index.annotate_section_summaryone layer up.Tracks which concept files should exist against a document's current retrieval sections, detects staleness via the section hash recorded when a concept file was written (not a separate cache mechanism — reuses the per-section hashing from #109), and regenerates
index.mddeterministically from the manifest.The whole bundle lives under
.cache/okf/and is gitignored. Unlike the content of a summary (expensive, real LLM tokens), the bundle not surviving a fresh clone just means it rebuilds the same waydoc_index.py's own cache does — nothing here assumes the bundle survives across clones, only across calls on the same machine.New CLI commands
