# Workshop: link-taxonomy-migration

- **Run key:** `link-taxonomy-migration` (this directory's name - there is no other identifier)
- **Input:** none - this run is not an ingest
- **Started:** 2026-09-02
- **Session id form:** `WIKITOOL_SESSION_ID="link-taxonomy-migration/u<N>"`, one per unit
- **Issue:** Gitea #40, sections *Label werden Enum* and *Toolgeführte Blöcke*

## Goal

Move every relationship in `kb/` from free-text German prose in a body bullet to a machine
value in `related:`, and every tool-owned body region from heading-matching to a marker pair.
Afterwards the compiler contains no heading text and no relationship label, and `lint` can
enforce the vocabulary because there is one.

## Why this is `assisted` and not `mechanical`

Measured on 2026-09-02, against the corpus rather than against the documentation:

| | |
|---|---|
| Pages | 180 |
| Distinct relationship labels in body bullets | **152** |
| Labelled bullets | 337 |
| Labels occurring exactly once | 102 |
| Top 20 labels cover | 167 of 337 |
| Bare `- [[X]]` bullets under `## Siehe auch` | 555 |
| ...of those, provably redundant (a labelled edge already exists) | 353 |
| ...of those, the only connection between the two pages | **202**, across 63 target pages |

`kb/CONVENTIONS.md` documents thirteen labels. Nothing ever checked that, and the corpus does
not follow it - so there is no mapping table to apply, and roughly 539 edges need a judgment
call each. A large minority are reverse directions (`Verwendet von` 20x, `implementiert durch`,
`Ersetzt durch`), which under authored directional edges are exactly the edges that stop being
stored and start being rendered.

Rejected alternative, recorded so it is not re-proposed: map the top 20 mechanically and set
everything else to `see-also`. That would start the new taxonomy with ~370 of ~539 edges on its
weakest label - the `verwandt mit` sediment this whole change exists to end, re-created as the
documented initial state.

## Closes when

Every unit in `plan.md` is published, and:

- `wikitool lint` reports zero unlabelled edges and zero labels outside the authorising
  collection's `outbound:` block
- `wikitool migrate verify --from <pre-migration rev>` reports no wikilink or citation count
  change, and no unbalanced marker
- `wikitool migrate done 4.0.0 --pages <N>` has run

## Checklist

- [x] u0 mechanism - taxonomy, `links.py`, `blocks.py`, `xref` rewrite, lint checks,
      `links show` for the inbound view, deletion of the matching layer. No page touched.
- [x] u1 `kb/entities/` (systems, tools, technologies) - 57 pages, 199 edges, run as five
      sub-sessions (`u1`, `u1-technologies`, `u1-technologies-2`, `u1-tools-1`, `u1-tools-2`,
      `u1-close`) against one 60-call-per-session ceiling; published together as commit
      `b137359`. Deferred cross-collection edges recorded in `glossary.md` for u2/u3.
- [ ] u2 `kb/entities/` (projects, people) + `kb/comparisons/`
- [ ] u3 `kb/concepts/`
- [ ] u4 `kb/sources/`
- [ ] u5 close-out - `migrate done`, version bump, `CHANGES.md`, workshop close

## Measured after u0

`lint` against the corpus, with the machinery in place and no page touched:

| Finding | Count |
|---|---|
| `unlabelled_edges` | **480** - every `related:` entry, since none carries a label yet |
| `unauthorised_labels` | 0 - nothing declares a label at all, so nothing can be unauthorised |
| `malformed_edges` | 0 |
| `unbalanced_markers` | 0 |
| `orphan_pages` | 1 (`GRUB`, pre-existing) |
| `broken_links`, `dangling_frontmatter_refs`, `schema_validation_errors` | 0 |

480 is the number u1-u4 have to bring to zero. It is larger than the 337 labelled body bullets
because `related:` also holds entries whose bullet was lost or never written - which is itself a
finding: the frontmatter and the body had already drifted apart under the old model, and nothing
could see it while the label lived only in the prose.

## Open decisions

- **Settled 2026-09-02:** edges are directional; the reverse edge is authored only when it is a
  primary statement on its own page. The inbound view is rendered, not stored.
- **Settled 2026-09-02:** the 353 provably-redundant `## Siehe auch` edges are dropped
  mechanically. The 202 that are the only connection get a real label each, or are dropped with
  a reason - never converted to `see-also` in bulk.
- **Settled 2026-09-02:** labels are not localized. `- **depends-on:** [[Hermes]]` is what a
  German page carries.
