tegwick b81ce5631d feat: implement Phase 2 - Markdown Schema Loader
Completed Phase 2 of the schema-of-schemas implementation with full
markdown schema support. This enables schemas to be authored as
markdown files with rich documentation and embedded JSON schemas.

Core Implementation (markitect/schema_loader.py):
- MarkdownSchemaLoader class with comprehensive parsing capabilities
- YAML frontmatter extraction with error handling
- JSON code block extraction with section preference (## Schema Definition)
- Metadata merging with x-markitect-source tracking
- Schema saving with template support and round-trip capability
- Helper methods: list_json_blocks(), validate_schema_structure()

Test Coverage (tests/test_schema_loader.py):
- 35 comprehensive unit tests (100% passing)
- Tests for loading, parsing, saving, round-trip conversion
- Edge case handling (empty files, binary files, malformed blocks)
- Fixed binary file test to use invalid UTF-8 sequences

Example Schema (markitect/schemas/manpage-schema-v1.0.md):
- First markdown schema following naming convention
- Complete manpage schema with frontmatter + documentation + JSON
- Demonstrates section classification and content control
- Shows proper structure for future schema authors

Documentation (roadmap/schema-of-schemas/SCHEMA_LOADER_GUIDE.md):
- Comprehensive user guide (600+ lines)
- API reference with examples
- Best practices and troubleshooting
- Integration patterns for CLI and validator

Progress Tracking:
- Updated TODO.md with Phase 2 completion
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with implementation details
- Next: Phase 3 - Schema-for-Schemas Metaschema

# 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](https://coulomb.social/open/KeepaTodofile).
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.
### Schema-of-Schemas Implementation (Active - Phase 2)
**Status:** Phase 2 - Markdown Schema Loader (Completed ✅)
**Workplan:** See `roadmap/schema-of-schemas/WORKPLAN.md`
**Current Goals:**
1. ✅ Establish naming convention: `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md`
2. ✅ Implement filename validation logic
3. ✅ Create markdown schema loader
4. ✅ Create example markdown schema
5. ⏳ Build schema-for-schemas metaschema (Next: Phase 3)
6. ⏳ Migrate existing schemas to new format
**Phase 1 Tasks (Completed ✅):**
- [x] Write `markitect/schema_naming.py` with validation logic
- [x] Add unit tests for filename validation (50 tests, 100% passing)
- [x] Create SCHEMA_NAMING_SPEC.md documentation
**Phase 2 Tasks (Completed ✅):**
- [x] Implement MarkdownSchemaLoader class (markitect/schema_loader.py, 515 lines)
- [x] Add frontmatter extraction (YAML)
- [x] Add JSON code block extraction with section preference
- [x] Add metadata merging with x-markitect-source tracking
- [x] Write comprehensive unit tests (35 tests, 100% passing)
- [x] Create example markdown schema (manpage-schema-v1.0.md)
- [x] Create SCHEMA_LOADER_GUIDE.md documentation
**Next Phases:**
- Phase 3: Schema-for-Schemas Metaschema (2 days)
- Phase 4: Schema Migration (1-2 days)
- Phase 5: CLI & Documentation Updates (1 day)
- Phase 6: Testing & Validation (1 day)
**Expected Completion:** 6-7 days remaining

### Extract Capability-Capability from Issue-Facade (Paused)
**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
