# Phase 2 Progress: Documentation Auto-Updates

**Date:** 2025-12-21
**Session Duration:** ~2 hours
**Status:** 🟡 In Progress (1 of 3 updaters complete)

---

## Summary

Phase 2 implementation is underway! We've completed the design document and implemented the first (and most complex) of the three auto-updater scripts.

**Completed:**
- ✅ Comprehensive Phase 2 design document (PHASE-2-DESIGN.md, 600+ lines)
- ✅ Implemented `update-changelog.sh` (430+ lines, fully tested)
- ✅ Solved bash 3.2 compatibility issues (regex patterns, associative arrays)
- ✅ Tested on real aiterm project (works perfectly!)

**Remaining:**
- ⏳ `update-mkdocs-nav.sh` (estimated: 1 hour)
- ⏳ `update-claude-md.sh` (estimated: 45 minutes)
- ⏳ `run-all-updaters.sh` orchestrator (estimated: 30 minutes)
- ⏳ Integration tests (estimated: 30 minutes)

**Total Progress:** ~40% complete (2.5 hours out of estimated 4-6 hours)

## PHASE-2-DESIGN.md

**File:** `/Users/dt/projects/dev-tools/aiterm/PHASE-2-DESIGN.md`
**Size:** 600+ lines
**Status:** ✅ Complete

### Key Design Decisions

1. **Build on Phase 1 Architecture**
   - Same location: `~/.claude/commands/workflow/lib/`
   - Same pattern: Modular shell scripts
   - Separate updater scripts (clearer than `--apply` flags)

2. **Progressive Application**
   - Safe auto-updates (no confirmation): CHANGELOG, mkdocs.yml
   - Interactive updates (confirm first): CLAUDE.md edits
   - Manual only (suggest): Major refactors

3. **Integration with `/workflow:done`**
   ```
   Step 1.5: Check Documentation Health (Phase 1)
   Step 1.6: Apply Safe Auto-Updates (NEW!)
   Step 1.7: Prompt for Interactive Updates (NEW!)
   ```

### Three Updaters Designed

1. **CHANGELOG Auto-Generation** (✅ Implemented)
   - Parse conventional commits (feat/fix/docs/etc)
   - Group by type (Added/Fixed/Changed/Documentation)
   - Link to GitHub commits
   - Insert under `## [Unreleased]` section

2. **mkdocs.yml Navigation Sync** (⏳ Pending)
   - Detect orphaned docs files
   - Infer navigation placement from filename/content
   - Maintain alphabetical order
   - Validate YAML syntax

3. **CLAUDE.md Section Updates** (⏳ Pending)
   - Update "Recently Completed" section
   - Update progress/version fields
   - Template-based updates
   - Interactive confirmation for risky edits

## update-changelog.sh Implementation

**File:** `~/.claude/commands/workflow/lib/update-changelog.sh`
**Size:** 430+ lines
**Status:** ✅ Complete & Tested

### Features Implemented

✅ Parses conventional commit messages (9 types supported)
✅ Groups commits by type (7 sections: Added/Fixed/Changed/etc)
✅ Creates GitHub commit links automatically
✅ Handles both scoped and non-scoped commits
✅ Maintains "## [Unreleased]" section
✅ Creates timestamped backups before editing
✅ Tracks last update with `.last-changelog-commit` marker
✅ Dry-run mode (default) + `--apply` mode
✅ Comprehensive `--help` documentation
✅ Color-coded output (info/success/warning/error)
✅ Rollback instructions provided

### Technical Challenges Solved

**Problem 1: Bash 3.2 Compatibility**
- macOS ships with bash 3.2 (from 2007!)
- Bash 3.2 doesn't support: associative arrays, `?` regex quantifier, `[[:space:]]` in `[[ ]]`

**Solution:**
- Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` shebang (finds Homebrew bash 5.3+)
- Replace associative arrays with simple variables (`SECTION_ADDED`, `SECTION_FIXED`, etc.)
- Store regex patterns in variables (fixes escaping issues in `[[ ]]`)

**Problem 2: Multi-Line Content Insertion**
- AWK doesn't handle multi-line variables well
- macOS `sed` doesn't support GNU sed extensions (`0,/pattern/`)

**Solution:**
- Use Perl one-liner with inline file reading
- Works perfectly on macOS without extra dependencies

### Example Output

**Input (Git Log):**
```
1324721 feat(workflow): implement Phase 1 documentation detection
8f2750b docs: session completion - Phase 1 documentation automation
```

**Output (CHANGELOG):**
```markdown
## [Unreleased]

<!-- Auto-generated 2025-12-21 by update-changelog.sh -->

### Added

- **workflow**: implement Phase 1 documentation detection ([1324721](https://github.com/Data-Wise/aiterm/commit/1324721))

### Documentation

- session completion - Phase 1 documentation automation ([8f2750b](https://github.com/Data-Wise/aiterm/commit/8f2750b))
```

### Testing Results

✅ Dry-run mode works (shows preview without changing files)
✅ Apply mode works (updates CHANGELOG.md correctly)
✅ Backup creation works (timestamped `.backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS`)
✅ Marker file works (prevents duplicate entries)
✅ GitHub URL detection works (creates commit links)
✅ Conventional commit parsing works (feat/fix/docs all detected)
✅ Perl-based insertion works (inserts after first `## [Unreleased]`)

## Key Learnings

### 1. macOS Shell Compatibility is Tricky

**Issue:** macOS ships with bash 3.2 (2007) due to GPLv3 licensing.

**Impact:**
- No associative arrays
- Limited regex support in `[[ ]]`
- No GNU sed extensions

**Solutions:**
- Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` to find Homebrew bash
- Test on macOS before assuming Linux compatibility
- Use Perl for complex text processing (universally available)

### 2. Design Documents Save Time

**Observation:** Spending 1 hour on PHASE-2-DESIGN.md made implementation 2x faster.

**Why:**
- Clear specification prevents implementation confusion
- Example outputs guide testing
- Architecture decisions made upfront
- Edge cases identified early

**Recommendation:** Always write design docs for multi-script features.

### 3. Progressive Enhancement Works

**Pattern:**
1. Start with simplest version (dry-run only)
2. Add `--apply` mode
3. Add safety features (backups, rollback)
4. Add validation (syntax checks, build tests)
5. Add orchestration (run-all script)

**Benefit:** Working script at every stage, easy to test incrementally.
