tegwick 6df9b5df05 feat: add terminology schema example and improve schema-list command
This commit completes Phase 2 of schema evolution work and establishes
a new example demonstrating schema usage for terminology documents.

## New Features

### Terminology Validation Example (examples/terminology/)
- Complete example terminology document with proper structure
- JSON schema with MarkiTect extensions for validation
- Demonstrates schema usage beyond manpages (glossaries, lexicons)
- Validates term structure: Definition, Synonyms, Related Terms, Examples
- Includes content control and quality validation rules
- Full documentation with usage examples and best practices

### Schema Registration System
- Registered terminology schema in markitect database
- Created schema catalog (markitect/schemas/schema-catalog.yaml)
- Copied schema to official location (markitect/schemas/)
- Provides metadata, features, and usage info for all schemas

### Improved schema-list Command
- Now displays creation timestamps in default output
- Table format includes Created/Updated columns
- Cleaner timestamp formatting (removed microseconds)
- Better visibility into when schemas were added

## Files Changed

Added:
- examples/terminology/README.md - Complete documentation
- examples/terminology/terminology-example.md - Example glossary
- examples/terminology/terminology-schema.json - Validation schema
- markitect/schemas/terminology-schema.json - Registered schema
- markitect/schemas/schema-catalog.yaml - Schema registry

Modified:
- markitect/cli.py - Enhanced schema-list with timestamps
- TODO.md - Documented Phase 2 completion and new example

Moved:
- SCHEMA_EVOLUTION_WORKPLAN.md → todo/ directory

## Schema Features Demonstrated

- Heading hierarchy validation (H1 → H2 → H3)
- Term structure validation with required/optional fields
- Content quality metrics (word counts, readability targets)
- MarkiTect extensions (x-markitect-sections, x-markitect-content-control)
- Classification system (required/recommended/optional/discouraged/improper)

## Usage

```bash
# List schemas with timestamps
markitect schema-list

# Validate terminology document
markitect validate glossary.md --schema terminology-schema.json

# View in table format
markitect schema-list --format table
```

Todofile

This is a "to do next" file, particularly useful to keep the human and a coding assistant in sync.

The format is based on Keep a Todofile V0.0.1.

The structure organizes future tasks by their impact, just as a changelog organizes past changes by their impact.


[Unreleased] - Active Vibe-Coding State 💡

This section is for tasks currently being discussed with or worked on by the coding assistant. These are the ephemeral, flow-of-thought tasks.

  1. the file TODO.html is legacy i think and can be removed

Extract Capability-Capability from Issue-Facade

Context: Issue-facade currently provides two capabilities:

  1. issue-tracking (explicit in CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml) - Issue management across platforms
  2. capability-capability (implicit) - Patterns and tools for creating/managing capabilities

The capability-capability includes:

  • Feedback pattern (feedback/ directory, .capability/feedback CLI tool, documentation)
  • Detachment facility (.capability/detach script for clean capability removal)
  • Integration pattern (.capability/integrate.sh for project integration)
  • CAPABILITY-*.yaml specification format
  • ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md (complete specification)
  • Directory conventions (_family/implementation, visible/hidden patterns)

Goal: Extract capability-capability to separate reusable-capability repository so it can be used by any capability in the markitect ecosystem.

Approach: Step-by-step extraction, starting with specification.

Phase 1: Specification & Planning (Current)

  • Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in issue-facade to explicitly declare the implicit capability
  • Define what belongs to capability-capability family vs issue-tracking family
  • Document the capability-capability API surface (what tools/patterns it provides)
  • Identify all files/directories to extract
  • Plan extraction strategy (copy vs move, how to maintain during transition)

Phase 2: Repository Creation

  • Create reusable-capability repository structure
  • Extract ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md to new repo
  • Extract feedback pattern (directory structure, CLI tool, README)
  • Extract detachment facility (.capability/detach)
  • Extract integration scripts (.capability/integrate.sh, integration-checklist.md)
  • Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml in new repo (canonical version)
  • Add README.md for reusable-capability repo

Phase 3: Integration & Testing

  • Update issue-facade to depend on reusable-capability (as integrated capability)
  • Integrate reusable-capability into issue-facade using _capability/reusable-capability pattern
  • Test that issue-facade still works with extracted capability
  • Update issue-facade documentation to reference both capabilities it provides/uses
  • Verify feedback system still works
  • Verify detachment still works

Phase 4: Dogfooding & Validation

  • Choose another markitect capability for dogfooding
  • Integrate reusable-capability into that capability
  • Add feedback system to new capability
  • Add detachment facility to new capability
  • Document learnings and refine reusable-capability based on real-world usage
  • Update ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture.md with insights

Current Step: Phase 1, Task 1 - Create CAPABILITY-capability.yaml


Completed Tasks

Recent completed tasks have been documented in _issue-tracking/issue-facade/CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog format.

2026-01-04 - Phase 2: Schema Refinement Tools & Terminology Example

  • Implemented schema-analyze command to detect rigidity issues
  • Implemented schema-refine command with automatic loosening logic
  • Added interactive mode to schema-refine for fine-grained control
  • Created comprehensive test suite (33 unit tests, 100% passing)
  • Wrote user guide documentation with examples and workflows
  • Successfully tested on example schemas (reduced rigidity from 60/100 to 24/100)
  • Integrated into CLI with proper exit codes and error handling
  • Moved SCHEMA_EVOLUTION_WORKPLAN.md to todo/ directory
  • Created terminology validation example (examples/terminology/)

Key Features Delivered:

  • Rigidity score calculation (0-100 scale)
  • Automatic detection of exact counts, const values, overly specific numbers
  • Path navigation for nested schema properties
  • Dry-run mode for previewing changes
  • Interactive approval workflow
  • Comprehensive reporting (normal and verbose modes)

Terminology Example:

  • Complete terminology document structure (terminology-example.md)
  • JSON schema with MarkiTect extensions (terminology-schema.json)
  • Demonstrates schema usage for non-manpage documents
  • Validates term definitions, synonyms, related terms, examples
  • Includes content control and validation rules
  • Full documentation and usage examples (README.md)

2025-12-17 - Architecture Refactoring

  • Implemented ReusableCapabilitiesArchitecture v0.1
  • Added feedback capability to issue-facade
  • Created detachment facility
  • Refactored to family-based directory structure (_issue-tracking/issue-facade)
  • Made feedback directory visible (feedback/ not .feedback/)
  • Renamed to explicit family declaration (CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml)
  • Created CHANGELOG.md documenting v1.0.0
