Implement comprehensive link validation as part of semantic validation: Core Features: - Link classification: internal, external, fragment, email - Internal link validation: fragment anchors and file paths - External link validation: HTTP/HTTPS with configurable timeout - Email validation: mailto: link format checking - Fragment policy enforcement: allow/disallow fragment identifiers Link Validator: - markitect/validators/link_validator.py - Full link validation implementation - Supports x-markitect-content-control.link_validation configuration - Default: check internal links, skip external (fast) - Opt-in external checking with --check-links flag Integration: - Updated SemanticValidator to include link_result in reports - CLI already supports --check-links flag (line 1629 in cli.py) - Link validation runs by default for internal links (fast) - External link checking requires explicit --check-links flag Test Coverage: - Added 9 comprehensive tests for LinkValidator - Tests cover: classification, broken links, fragments, email, statistics - All 25 semantic validator tests passing (100%) Documentation: - Updated SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_GUIDE.md with link validation section - Added examples for broken links and external link checking - Documented link types, validation rules, and configuration Statistics Tracking: - Links checked, internal/external/fragment/email counts - Detailed error/warning reporting with line numbers - Integration with existing semantic validation reporting 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
MarkiTect Documentation
Welcome to the MarkiTect documentation. This directory contains comprehensive documentation for developers, users, and contributors.
Documentation Structure
📐 Architecture Documentation (architecture/)
Deep technical documentation about system design, performance, and implementation details.

Key Concepts
Core Architecture Principles
- Parse Once, Use Many Times - AST caching for 60-85% performance improvement
- Convention Over Configuration - Sensible defaults with minimal setup
- Schema-Driven Processing - Structured markdown with validation
- Relational Metadata - Database-powered document relationships
Performance Philosophy
MarkiTect treats markdown documents as structured, queryable data rather than plain text. This approach enables:
- Lightning-fast document processing through intelligent caching
- Complex querying and relationship management
- Schema validation and consistency enforcement
- Scalable performance that grows with your content
Contributing to Documentation
Documentation follows the same quality standards as code:
- Clear Structure - Logical organization and navigation
- Practical Examples - Real-world usage patterns
- Performance Context - Why architectural decisions matter
- User-Focused - Written for the intended audience
Documentation Standards
- Use clear, concise language
- Include practical examples
- Explain the "why" behind design decisions
- Keep technical accuracy as the highest priority
- Update docs when changing functionality
This documentation is maintained alongside the codebase. For the most current information, always refer to the latest version in the repository.
