CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 40s

Third review round on PR #126. Two real bugs in the rewrite from the
previous commit:

1. The comment guard the sibling api package's frontmatter parser has
   (strings.HasPrefix(trimmed, "#")) was dropped in this reimplementation.
   A frontmatter comment containing a colon got cut at the colon and
   re-rendered with collapsed internal whitespace.
2. Worse: an indented YAML block-list item containing a colon (e.g. a
   title with a subtitle inside an aliases: list) was misparsed as a
   top-level key/value pair -- strings.Cut doesn't know a line is a
   continuation just because TrimSpace(key) happens to be non-empty.
   Re-rendering then stripped the line's indentation, de-indenting it
   out of the list it belonged to. refreshOwned re-renders this block on
   essentially every non-skipped ingest, so this was the normal path,
   not an edge case.

Checked whether the sibling api/frontmatter.go has the same list-item gap:
it does (same strings.Cut-then-TrimSpace shape, no indentation check) --
not a regression introduced here, a pre-existing latent defect shared
with the package this was modeled on. Filed separately rather than fixed
here (out of scope for this PR, needs its own review).

Fixed by checking indentation BEFORE calling Cut at all -- a line
starting with a space or tab is a continuation line, full stop,
regardless of what it contains -- and restoring the comment guard
verbatim from the sibling.

Flip-tested both guards independently: removing either one turns its
corresponding new test red in isolation; the other stays green,
confirming they're independent fixes, not one masking the other.

mathiasandClaude Sonnet 5 874206be9d fix(wiki): rewrite refreshOwned on a parsed line list, not fence-index tracking
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 33s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (pull_request) Skipped
Second review round on PR #126 found two more problems with the first
append fix:

1. When a has no frontmatter fence at all, the fallback spliced raw,
   unfenced "key: value" text straight into the body -- worse than the
   original bug, since the next parseSections call wouldn't recognize
   it as frontmatter and would absorb it as preamble text, duplicating
   on every subsequent merge.
2. The regression test only asserted substrings (Contains), which
   doesn't prove structural position. Two independent mutations
   (closeIdx locking onto the wrong fence, a reversed sort) both
   survived the full suite undetected.

Rewritten from string-index surgery (tracking a fence's position across
two passes over split lines) to a small parsed representation: fmLine
(key/value or raw), parseFrontmatterBlock, setLine (update in place or
append -- the one behavior the original code got wrong), and
renderFrontmatterBlock. Same shape as the sibling api package's own
frontmatter type, reproduced locally rather than imported (it's
unexported there, and this package's needs are smaller) because that
set()-appends-if-absent behavior was already proven correct by that
package's existing test suite -- this bug class shouldn't have existed
here in the first place.

A page with no fence gets one created to hold the new fields, instead
of corrupting the body. Tests now assert exact frontmatter block output
via assert.Equal, not Contains, and a new fixture (mixed replace+append
in one call) covers both code paths together.

Flip-tested: reversing the sort turns two of the new exact-match tests
red (the Contains-based version of the same test missed this on the
prior commit). The "wrong fence" bug class is now structurally
impossible rather than merely untested -- there's no fence-position
index left to get wrong.

Also fixed a byte-stability regression the new render introduced and
caught via the full pipeline suite: a key with no inline value (the
YAML block-list shape, "aliases:" followed by indented "- item" lines)
rendered as "aliases: " (trailing space) instead of "aliases:".

mathiasandClaude Sonnet 5 41a9112860 fix(wiki): append generator-owned frontmatter fields a page never had, not just replace
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 38s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (pull_request) Skipped
Review of PR #126 found refreshOwned only replaced a generator-owned line
that already existed in a's frontmatter -- it never appended one a didn't
have. Every page ingested before this feature shipped has no source_hash
line at all, so on its first re-ingest after deploy, the fresh hash was
silently dropped: storedSourceHash reads "" forever for that page, the
hash never matches, and the skip-on-unchanged feature this whole PR/issue
exists to build never engages for the entire pre-existing corpus,
permanently, with nothing telling anyone.

Fixed by tracking the closing frontmatter fence's position while
scanning a's lines, then inserting any generator-owned fields b supplied
that a didn't have just before that fence -- sorted for a deterministic,
byte-stable result, since map iteration order isn't. Flip-tested:
forcing the old drop-silently return turns the new test red; restoring
the fix turns it green.

mathias a5a328fea5 feat(pipeline): skip extraction when the source has not changed (#105)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 34s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (pull_request) Skipped
Ingest now stamps source_hash — sha256 of the ingested body, frontmatter
excluded — onto the source page, and compares it before doing any work. An
unchanged source returns Skipped with no LLM call at all.

This is cost and signal, not correctness: #103 already made a re-ingest
byte-identical, so a repeated run was harmless but not free — a full
extraction over every chunk to produce a result that merges to nothing.
Building this first would have put idempotency in the guard rather than in
the write, which is the wrong dependency direction.

Body-only hashing on purpose. A re-crawl that stamps a new fetch date has
not changed the source, and treating that as drift would re-extract the
whole corpus every time a crawler ran. A missing or unreadable hash always
means "extract": a missed skip costs one extraction, a wrong skip loses an
update silently, and silence is the failure mode this repo keeps paying
for.

The skip is reported (Result.Skipped plus a warning naming the hash), not
silent — a run that does nothing must say so, or "the pipeline is fine" and
"the pipeline stopped working" look identical (#107).

Storing the hash required settling who owns which frontmatter field. #103
made the on-disk block win wholesale, which protects human-set metadata
from a regenerating writer but froze fields the generator legitimately
owns. wiki.Merge now refreshes an explicit generatorOwned allowlist —
last_updated and source_hash — and keeps everything else on disk. An
allowlist rather than a carve-out, so a field nobody has thought about
stays human-owned by default. That also retires the last_updated
limitation #103 shipped with.
