tegwick b6f95066a3 chore: establish schema-of-schemas workplan and reorganize roadmap
This commit sets up the comprehensive workplan for implementing a
markdown-first schema management system with naming conventions,
versioning, and self-validation capabilities.

## Directory Reorganization

- Renamed `todo/` → `roadmap/` for better organization
- Created `roadmap/schema-of-schemas/` subdirectory
- Moved schema management planning artifacts to dedicated directory

## Planning Artifacts Created

### Workplan & Documentation
- **WORKPLAN.md** (19KB) - Comprehensive 6-phase implementation plan
- **SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_PROPOSAL.md** - Full analysis with 4 options
- **SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_SUMMARY.md** - Executive summary
- **README.md** - Quick reference guide

### Example Schema
- **examples/schemas/manpage-schema-v1.md** - Demonstrates markdown format

## Schema Management System Design

### Naming Convention
**Format:** `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md`
**Examples:**
- `manpage-schema-v1.0.md`
- `terminology-schema-v1.0.md`
- `api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md`

### Markdown-First Format
Schemas will be markdown files with:
- YAML frontmatter for metadata
- Rich documentation sections
- Embedded JSON schema in code block
- Version history and examples

### Implementation Phases (8-10 days)

**Phase 0:** Planning & Setup  (0.5 days) - COMPLETE
**Phase 1:** Filename Convention (1 day) - NEXT
**Phase 2:** Markdown Loader (2-3 days)
**Phase 3:** Schema-for-Schemas (2 days)
**Phase 4:** Schema Migration (1-2 days)
**Phase 5:** CLI & Documentation (1 day)
**Phase 6:** Testing & Validation (1 day)

### Goals

1.  Establish naming convention
2.  Implement filename validation
3.  Create markdown schema loader
4.  Build schema-for-schemas metaschema
5.  Migrate 5 existing schemas (remove 2 duplicates)
6.  Update CLI and documentation

## Updated Tracking

### TODO.md
- Added Schema-of-Schemas as active work item
- Documented Phase 1 tasks and timeline
- Paused capability extraction work

### CHANGELOG.md
- Added schema management system to [Unreleased]
- Documented directory reorganization
- Added "In Progress" section for current work

## Next Steps

Begin Phase 1:
1. Implement schema_naming.py with validation
2. Add unit tests
3. Update CLI schema-ingest command
4. Create naming specification document

## Files Changed

- CHANGELOG.md - Added unreleased schema management features
- TODO.md - Updated active work tracking
- roadmap/ - Reorganized from todo/
- roadmap/schema-of-schemas/ - New planning directory
- examples/schemas/ - Example markdown schema

# Schema-of-Schemas Implementation
**Project:** Markdown-First Schema System
**Status:** Planning → Implementation
**Timeline:** 8-10 days
## Quick Links
- **[WORKPLAN.md](./WORKPLAN.md)** - Detailed implementation plan with phases
- **[SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_PROPOSAL.md](./SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_PROPOSAL.md)** - Full analysis and options
- **[SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_SUMMARY.md](./SCHEMA_MANAGEMENT_SUMMARY.md)** - Executive summary
## What We're Building
### Goals
1. ✅ Filename convention: `{domain}-schema-v{version}.md`
2. ✅ Markdown-first schema format (documentation + embedded JSON)
3. ✅ Schema-for-schemas to validate all schemas
4. ✅ Migrate existing schemas to new format
5. ✅ Clean up duplicate/legacy schemas
### Why
- **Consistency:** Enforced naming and versioning
- **Alignment:** Markdown-first matches MarkiTect philosophy
- **Documentation:** Rich docs alongside schemas
- **Validation:** Schema-for-schemas ensures quality
- **Maintainability:** Clear versions and structure
## Implementation Phases
1. **Phase 0:** Planning & Setup (0.5 days) ← **Current**
2. **Phase 1:** Filename Convention (1 day)
3. **Phase 2:** Markdown Loader (2-3 days)
4. **Phase 3:** Schema-for-Schemas (2 days)
5. **Phase 4:** Schema Migration (1-2 days)
6. **Phase 5:** CLI & Docs (1 day)
7. **Phase 6:** Testing (1 day)
## Current Status
### Completed
- [x] Directory structure created
- [x] Planning documents moved to roadmap
- [x] Comprehensive workplan written
- [x] Example markdown schema created
### Next Steps
1. Complete Phase 0 planning artifacts
2. Begin Phase 1 implementation
3. Checkpoint review after Phase 1
## Key Decisions
### Naming Convention
**Format:** `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md`
**Example:** `manpage-schema-v1.0.md`
### Schema Format
**Markdown with embedded JSON:**
```markdown
---
schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1"
version: "1.0.0"
---
# Manpage Schema v1.0
[Documentation...]
## Schema Definition
```json
{ ... JSON schema ... }
```
```
### Schema Migration Plan
```
Old → New
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
terminology-schema.json → terminology-schema-v1.0.md
api-documentation → api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
enhanced-manpage → manpage-schema-v2.0.md
markdown-manpage → REMOVE (duplicate)
markdown-manpage-schema.json → REMOVE (duplicate)
```
## Progress Tracking
Track progress in: `roadmap/schema-of-schemas/IMPLEMENTATION_LOG.md` (to be created)
