README.md
Added exported docsite.Pages(opts) (reading-order pages plus load problems, no rendering) so TestDocsAIOutputsInSync and later checkers read the page tree without re-implementing ordering
Module README pages blank the summary line in the body (line count kept) so the lead is not repeated and README problems keep their own line numbers
A type, var or const named by #Ident in a _test.go file counts as run when a reachable Test/Example function references it; functions and regions must be reachable from a Test or Example
Fence rendering uses a goldmark NodeRenderer at priority 100: goldmark registers lower priority values last, so it overrides the default html renderer (1000)
Development commits land on master: the project config uses branching_strategy none and every earlier phase commit is on master
Content rule: a docs page file starts with frontmatter and its first body line is exactly '# <title>'
Example convention: modules/<m>/example_test.go, package <m>_test, Example<Ident> ending in // Output:

Phase 11.1 Plan 01: Docs generator tracer Summary

summer docs:build renders docs/ and all 22 module READMEs through goldmark and html/template into HTML, .md siblings, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a search index. Go fences with src= are byte-checked copies of tested source, and summer docs:sync refreshes them.

Performance

  • Duration: 15 min
  • Started: 2026-09-30T19:12:22Z
  • Completed: 2026-09-30T19:27:06Z
  • Tasks: 3
  • Files modified: 18

Accomplishments

  • internal/docsite is a stdlib and goldmark generator. It decodes site.yaml and frontmatter strictly with goccy/go-yaml DisallowUnknownField, reports problems in the UI-SPEC file:line: rule: message wording, renders every page in memory and writes nothing when a problem exists.
  • Module discovery reads modules/ at run time. Each directory with non-test Go files becomes api/<name> from its README, and a directory with no README is a readme: problem. The real tree builds 24 pages: the index, installation and 22 API pages.
  • Heading anchors come from a single GitHub-compatible parser.IDs implementation (slugIDs). Links to .md pages and to modules/<m>/README.md are rewritten to .html URLs in the HTML output and to .md URLs in the raw output. search-index.json has one entry per H2.
  • A src= reference can name a whole file, a Go declaration, an Example body with its // Output: line, or a docs:start/docs:end region. The path must stay inside the root: it must be relative and clean, must not follow a symlink out of the root, and must not point at a dotfile, a .env file or a nested go.mod module. The referenced code must also run under go test: Examples need // Output:, _test.go fragments must be reachable from a Test or Example, and non-test sources need a package with tests.
  • bonfire.ExampleCall is shown in docs/setup/installation.md. Its fence body was written by docs:sync.

Task Commits

Decisions Made

See key-decisions in the frontmatter. The most visible is the exported docsite.Pages, an addition to the planned interface that does not break it.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] api section added to site.yaml in Task 2, not Task 1

  • Found during: Task 1
  • Issue: With api listed in site.yaml before README ingestion existed (Task 2), the empty-section rule failed TestDocsTree. That would have broken go test at the Task 1 commit.
  • Fix: Task 1 lists only setup. Task 2 adds api in the same change as its first pages, which is the rule the build enforces.
  • Files modified: docs/site.yaml
  • Commit: 6dacddc, e433dcf

2. [Rule 1 - Bug] Code-block renderer priority

  • Found during: Task 3
  • Issue: At priority 2000 the custom fence renderer never replaced goldmark's default, because goldmark registers lower priority values last. No <figure class="code"> was emitted.
  • Fix: Priority 100, with a comment explaining it.
  • Files modified: internal/docsite/render.go
  • Commit: dc6a03c

3. [Scope note] Snippet check wired in load.go

  • Task 3 lists docsite.go and render.go. The call to checkSnippets sits in assemble in load.go, where the rest of the load pipeline already lives. There is no behaviour difference.

4. [Content] installation.md links the bonfire README

  • The "Check your install" section links ../../modules/bonfire/README.md, so the real tree exercises guide-to-README link rewriting.

Total deviations: 2 auto-fixed (1 blocking, 1 bug), 2 notes. Impact: none on scope. Every planned output, test and acceptance criterion is met.

Issues Encountered

  • gofmt -l lists internal/build/registry.go. This was already the case before this plan, so it was left alone.
  • The GSD HEAD assertion treats master as protected. The project runs with branching_strategy: none, and all earlier phase commits are on master, so this plan's commits are on master too. Setting git.allow_default_branch_commits: true would make that explicit.

Verification

  • go vet ./... is green, and so is go test -short ./... across the repository.
  • go test ./internal/docsite ./cmd/summer ./modules/bonfire -count=1 is green. ExampleCall reports --- PASS.
  • go run ./cmd/summer docs:build --out <tmp> writes 24 pages. docs:sync reports all snippets up to date. A drifted scratch copy fails --check with snippet: body differs from modules/bonfire/example_test.go#ExampleCall (run: summer docs:sync).
  • The built output contains no consuming-application names. Its only absolute URL is the source_url caption link to the framework's own forge, and it has no third-party asset origins.
  • go.mod is unchanged.

User Setup Required

None. No external service configuration is required.

Next Phase Readiness

Plan 11.1-02 can replace page.html with the full theme, reuse headingIDs/slugIDs for the anchor checker and docsite.Pages for the tree checks, and add docs:serve. The Commands option field is still to be added by 11.1-02, as planned.

Self-Check: PASSED

All 14 created files exist. Commits 6dacddc, e433dcf and dc6a03c are in the log.
