Chemenu 2.1.0 - deterministischer Wissenskompiler
Chemenu kompiliert Rohnotizen zu einem verlinkten, quellengebundenen Wiki:
raw/ -> types/ + tools/ -> kb/ -> reports/. Was mechanisch ist, macht
tools/wikitool; was Urteil braucht, macht ein Agent unter Contracts, deren
Grenzen in Code durchgesetzt sind statt im Prompt.

Dieser Commit ist der Startpunkt der oeffentlichen Historie. Die vorherige
Entwicklung fand in einer privaten Instanz statt und ist nicht Teil dieses
Repositorys; ihre Erzaehlung steht vollstaendig in CHANGES.md, das mit 44
Eintraegen von 0.1.0 bis 2.1.0 erhalten geblieben ist.

Der mitgelieferte Korpus ist ein Testbett und eine Demo: 170 Seiten ueber den
Stack selbst - Gates, Lint, Versionierung, Suche, das Wiki-Muster. Er
dokumentiert das Werkzeug mit den eigenen Mitteln des Werkzeugs.

Lizenz: AGPL-3.0 fuer den Stack (tools/, types/), CC-BY-4.0 fuer die Inhalte.
Die Grenze zwischen beiden ist der Dateiplan, den dist export berechnet -
siehe NOTICE.

2.1 KiB

reports/ - Generated Output

Derived output that must stay out of git. Two kinds live here:

  • Lint reports, written by tools/wikitool lint --markdown "reports/Lint Report <YYYY-MM-DD>.md".
  • Traces, under reports/telemetry/<session>/trace.jsonl - the append-only record of what a session did, written by wikitool itself and by the harness hooks. See ../EVALS.md for the event contract and what is redacted.

Everything in this directory except this file is gitignored. A lint report is a derived copy of recomputable truth: its structural sections can be regenerated from the tree at any commit, so committing them would create a second, drifting copy of something the tool already answers on demand.

The durable half

A report also carries a ## Semantic Review section, which is the LLM's judgment and cannot be regenerated. Because the file itself is never committed, that judgment must be carried out of here before the pass ends:

  • Findings that change a page belong in the page, via wikitool touch / xref / new.
  • The summary of the pass belongs in kb/log.md, via tools/wikitool log append --op lint.

A lint pass that leaves its conclusions only in reports/ has lost them.

Traces

A trace is neither recomputable nor durable: rerunning a session produces a different one, and nothing else in the repo can reconstruct it. It is still gitignored, because it records prompts and assistant replies in cleartext and belongs to the machine it ran on, not to the repository. What a trace concludes - a scored eval, a failure taxonomy - is carried out the same way a lint report's judgment is: into kb/, work/, or kb/log.md.

WIKI_TRACE_DIR redirects the tree; WIKI_TRACE=0 turns recording off; WIKI_TRACE_CONTENT=0 keeps lengths and digests instead of text.

Retention

None. Old reports are local scratch; delete them freely. There is nothing to retire with wikitool rm, because no report is ever a wiki page - lint-report is a contract-only type-spec with no base_dir: and cannot be instantiated under kb/.
