Wiki log

Append-only chronological record. New entries go at the bottom. Heading format is validated by scripts/validate_wiki.py.


[2026-04-19] policy | Raw validation + MkDocs: public CI without local corpus

  • scripts/validate_raw_pdf_links.py: default treats missing local PDF/extract pairs and missing wiki raw/ link targets as warnings; --strict fails when the full corpus is expected. validate_wiki.py --raw-pdf-links passes strict through the same way.
  • tests/test_validate_raw_pdf_links.py: repo-wide check runs without --strict.
  • scripts/mkdocs_neutralize_raw_links.py + mkdocs.yml hooks: rewrite raw/ markdown links to non-navigable spans in the public HTML build; Obsidian sources unchanged. wiki/stylesheets/raw-source-refs.css.
  • Docs: docs/operations/raw-corpus-and-publishing.md, updates to validation.md, publishing.md, ingest.md, AGENTS.md, README.md.

[2026-04-17] policy | Initialize template wiki

  • Seeded wiki/ with example pages demonstrating taxonomy and linking.
  • Established raw/processed/2026/example-llm-wiki-note.md as immutable demo source.
  • Documented conventions in AGENTS.md and docs/.

[2026-04-18] query | Start and stock a pond as a beautiful water feature


[2026-04-18] policy | MkDocs builds wiki/ only; raw/ not committed by default

  • mkdocs.yml sets docs_dir: wiki and relaxes MkDocs link validation for raw/ URLs not present in the site tree; GitHub Pages workflow still runs mkdocs build --strict.
  • .gitignore keeps raw/** out of commits except **/.gitkeep; removed raw/README.md and the demo processed note from version control (files remain locally). Added raw/processed/2026/.gitkeep for directory layout.
  • Updated docs/operations/publishing.md and README.md to describe the split: published wiki vs in-repo docs/ handbook.

[2026-04-21] ingest | Inbox PDF batch (soil PA, PostGIS slides, forage)


[2026-04-21] policy | PDFs explicit in ingest contract

  • AGENTS.md: ingest workflow and definition-of-done now require PDF inbox drops to follow docs/workflows/ingest.md (stable path, pdf_to_markdown.py extract, source-note cites PDF + *-extracted.md); raw/ layer table mentions PDFs.
  • docs/workflows/ingest.md: step 1 states PDFs are first-class alongside markdown.

  • Added 11 skeleton child analyses (vision, two-site context, enterprise options, labor/family, smart-tech, capital/financing, revenue tranches, risk register, 10-year roadmap, validation backlog, executive summary last); linked to existing dual-site / telemetry / CAPEX / comparisons.
  • Updated index.md, topics/knowledge-synthesis.md.

[2026-04-17] query | Enterprise scenario analysis — 120 ac ET two-site

  • Filled analyses/east-tennessee-two-site-farm-business-plan-enterprise-options-analysis.md: per-path ops/labor/capital/automation/time/risk/infrastructure/skills/two-site fit; comparison table; top 3 (phased mixed, commercial grazing, lease as stabilizer); why others rank lower; phased strategy Phase 0–3 + pivot triggers; explicit automation helps vs burden; canonical title Enterprise options analysis — 120-acre East Tennessee two-site smart farm.

[2026-04-21] policy | AGENTS governance + structural audit (canonical routing)


[2026-04-21] refactor | Business plan + glossary + timelines as first-class lanes


[2026-04-21] policy | Page ownership audit + entity layer (anti–analysis sprawl)


  • Rewrote analyses/east-tennessee-two-site-farm-business-plan-recommended-enterprise-strategy.md: default = stocker/backgrounder-led beef on grass; single fallback = lease/custom/rent-heavy minimal owned inventory; deferred theses table (cow-calf primary, small ruminants primary, specialty/orchard/agritourism/row primary); decision boundaries table (default alive / fallback / stop both) tied to V1–V7 and G1 + Vision stop rules; “not now” section; operational what Phase 1–2 becomes language.

[2026-04-17] ingest | raw/inbox batch — TN/UT/NASS/NRCS/FSA/farmOS + PDFs

  • Moved to raw/processed/2026/: 9 new PDFs (UT D32, NASS corn + all-crops cash rents TN 2024, TN Revenue ag exemption Jan 2023, NRCS E472A/E528R FY2025, UT Beef & Forage PB1663 calendar, TN PC498 agritourism act, Livestock Companion Apr 2025) with *-extracted.md via scripts/pdf_to_markdown.py. Skipped duplicate inbox PDFs identical to existing ut-publication-d31/d252c/d252d.pdf.
  • Web captures (markdown) from inbox → raw/processed/2026/*-inbox-2026-04-18.md (FSA, farmOS docs, septic/SSDS, Web Soil Survey, 3D Elevation, TN GA bill info, USDA NASS page, Agricultural Exemption page). raw/inbox/ cleared (PDFs + captures) after archival so strict PDF–extract pairing passes.
  • Source-notes added under wiki/source-notes/ (UT D32, NASS pair + survey page, TN exemption PDF + page, NRCS CEAP pair, PB1663, PC498, Livestock Companion, FSA batch, farmOS batch, septic batch, WSS/elevation, TN GA bill); index.md updated.
  • Validator: validate_wiki.py --strict and --raw-pdf-links (strict).

[2026-04-22] query | Claxton/Demory missing-data register

  • New claxton-and-demory-missing-data-register.md: eight sections (land, buildability/utilities, soils/hydro, access/roads, market/rent, infra recon, desktop vs field); each gap table includes site (C/D/Both), why, resolve, blocks/informs; links package, site intelligence, validation plan. index.md (business plan + analyses).

[2026-04-22] refactor | Execution readiness — gap audit, authority vocabulary, hub routing


[2026-04-23] refactor | Local site and county intelligence hub + navigation

  • New topic hub local-site-and-county-intelligence.md: routes business plan readers to county context (comparison + evidence cluster), Claxton / Demory site intelligence, validation plan, missing-data register, and distinguishes county vs site vs execution analyses vs unresolved gaps.
  • overview.md (how to read item 7): pointer to hub for Anderson/Campbell + Claxton/Demory routing alongside two-site operations.
  • domain-content-overview.md: short Local site + county layer pointer after canonical ownership.
  • index.md: Topics catalog entry for local site and county intelligence.
  • Validator: validate_wiki.py --strict.

[2026-04-23] refactor | Place + county entities (Claxton, Demory, Anderson, Campbell)


[2026-04-23] query | Ingest visibility — IA diagnosis + hub wiring

Remaining gaps: processed capture for full K3s Requirements page; full Rancher requirements page capture; RKE2 evaluation if policy shifts (k3s or RKE2).

  • Validator: uv run python scripts/validate_wiki.py --strict.

[2026-04-17] policy | Structural IA debt audit + guide metadata (page_subtype, operational_maturity)

[2026-04-18] ingest | Homelab / edge / networking inbox → processed (k3s, Longhorn, restic, ESPHome, WireGuard, OpenWrt PDF)

  • Raw: moved 37 markdown + openwrt.pdf from raw/inbox/ → raw/processed/2026/ (kebab-case basenames); pdf_to_markdown.py → raw/processed/2026/openwrt-extracted.md beside raw/processed/2026/openwrt.pdf.
  • Source note: homelab-edge-networking-inbox-batch-2026-04-18.md — table of paths; synthesis links to DR package, k3s captures, homelab topics, MQTT/field network, remote access.
  • index.md: source-notes entry added.
  • Note: raw/** is gitignored by default; use git add -f for corpus files you intend to version (see repository .gitignore).

[2026-04-20] ingest | Raw processed 2026 summary-gap cleanup

  • Audit ledger: PROCESSED-CHECKLIST.md at repository root (optional local scratch; not tracked) — deterministic checklist of raw/processed/2026/ files that lacked any explicit wiki summary text at review time.
  • Source-note updated: electrical-networking-starlink-inbox-batch-2026-04-23.md — added per-source descriptions for the 14 previously unmentioned 2026-04-23 files (Victron wiring chapters plus Starlink/farm-networking supporting captures).
  • Activation decision: kept this work as source-note + deferred follow-up note rather than spawning new standalone notes because the gap set was a single batch already routed from canonical WAN/off-grid pages.
  • Validator: uv run python scripts/validate_wiki.py.

[2026-04-30] refactor | First 90 days — operator packet (East Tennessee two-site)

  • AGENTS.md: Ingest workflow now states explicitly that any source_ids entry ending in .pdf requires a markdown link in the body to {stem}-extracted.md (CI via pytest tests/test_validate_raw_pdf_links.py / scripts/validate_raw_pdf_links.py); updated agent checklist, definition-of-done ingest row, and scripts table for validate_raw_pdf_links.py.
  • Context: avoids deploy failures like missing extract links on tennessee-farm-business-compliance-official-layer-cluster-2026-04-22.md.
