Parse META-INF/container.xml and the OPF package document, then iterate documents in spine reading order instead of archive-name sort. Classify each spine item (body, cover, nav, toc, header, footer, notes, license, auxiliary) and exclude non-body sections by default; include_non_body=True opts them back in for inspection. Capture OPF book metadata (title, creator, language, subjects, rights, identifier, source_url, modified) onto every chunk and propagate it through source artifact provenance. Preserve the legacy zip-without-OPF fallback for malformed EPUBs. Real Lefevre EPUB now yields 148 body chunks in spine order (was 155 mixed, archive-sorted) with cover=1, header=1, footer=4 detected and dropped. 78 tests pass.

# Lefevre EPUB3 Validation
|
|
|
|
Date: 2026-05-14
|
|
|
|
## Source
|
|
|
|
Local source file:
|
|
|
|
`/mnt/c/Users/bernd.worsch/Downloads/LefevreEdwin-ReminiscencesOfAStockOperator.epub`
|
|
|
|
The EPUB is Project Gutenberg edition 60979, EPUB package version 3.0. The OPF
|
|
metadata identifies:
|
|
|
|
- title: `Reminiscences of a Stock Operator`
|
|
- creator: `Edwin Lefevre`
|
|
- subjects: `Speculation`, `New York Stock Exchange`, `Investments`
|
|
- rights: public domain in the USA
|
|
|
|
## Current Infrastructure Result
|
|
|
|
The current generic generator can initialize a disposable infospace from the
|
|
file and run non-provider metrics:
|
|
|
|
- disposable root:
|
|
`/tmp/infospace-bench-lefevre-583mopy_/infospaces/reminiscences-stock-operator`
|
|
- source chunks: 155
|
|
- entities: 0
|
|
- relations: 0
|
|
- evaluations: 0
|
|
- stale status: false
|
|
- metrics snapshot: `5978ece0`
|
|
|
|
The source-only metrics were:
|
|
|
|
- redundancy ratio: `0.9225806451612903`
|
|
- coverage ratio: `1.0`
|
|
- coherence components: `155.0`
|
|
- consistency cycles: `0.0`
|
|
- granularity entropy: `-0.0`
|
|
|
|
## Findings
|
|
|
|
The EPUB intake works mechanically, but it is not ready for a serious full-book
|
|
OpenRouter generation run.
|
|
|
|
- EPUB spine order is visible in `OEBPS/content.opf`, but current intake reads
|
|
XHTML files by archive-name sorting.
|
|
- Current titles mostly collapse to the same long Gutenberg page title instead
|
|
of chapter labels such as `I`, `II`, and `III`.
|
|
- Current intake includes non-body material such as cover/header/footer/license
|
|
candidates unless the caller manually filters after import.
|
|
- `generate plan` is not yet a compact cost/risk plan for a long book; a full
|
|
all-stage run would imply hundreds of provider calls.
|
|
- Resume state is run-level enough for the small generic path, but a long ebook
|
|
needs chunk-level retry, stale, and skip policy.
|
|
- Cross-chunk entity deduplication and merge/review policy are needed before a
|
|
full narrative book becomes a coherent infospace.
|
|
|
|
## Desired Readiness Bar
|
|
|
|
Before building the real Lefevre infospace with OpenRouter, the CLI should be
|
|
able to show:
|
|
|
|
- book metadata and selected source sections
|
|
- body-only chapter order
|
|
- stable chapter/chunk IDs
|
|
- estimated provider call count and token/cost budget
|
|
- selected chapter or chunk filters for smoke runs
|
|
- deterministic fixture acceptance on a small Lefevre-like subset
|
|
- optional live one-chapter smoke run with explicit provider/model/cost caps
|
|
|
|
## T01 Result (2026-05-17)
|
|
|
|
Spine-aware EPUB3 intake landed. Re-running the local Lefevre EPUB through
|
|
`normalize_source(...)` now yields:
|
|
|
|
- 148 body chunks (default), down from the original 155 mixed chunks
|
|
- Spine reading order: indices 0..27 in declared order, not archive-name sort
|
|
- Full OPF metadata on every chunk's `book_metadata`:
|
|
title, creator, language, subjects, rights, identifier, source_url, modified
|
|
- Section roles classified across the 154 spine items:
|
|
`body=148`, `footer=4`, `cover=1`, `header=1`
|
|
- The four Gutenberg footer/license/notes sections and the `*** START OF…`
|
|
header section are now excluded from generation input by default and
|
|
available via `include_non_body=True` for inspection
|
|
- The legacy zip-without-OPF fallback path is preserved for malformed EPUBs
|
|
|
|
The remaining gap is title collapse: all body sections still share the
|
|
Project Gutenberg page title because chapter headings are not yet read from
|
|
in-document `<h1>` content. That collapse is T02's scope (chapter-aware
|
|
chunking and stable IDs from in-document headings).
