Update Actions

ActionIndex Change
File createdAdd row to table
File deletedRemove row
File renamedUpdate link
Status changedUpdate status column
MovedUpdate path, possibly different index

Workflow

  1. Detect change - What file changed?
  2. Find parent index - Which README.md?
  3. Read frontmatter - Extract metadata
  4. Update table - Add/​remove/​modify row
  5. Regenerate tree - If structure changed
  6. Save index - Write changes

GLOSSARY.md Sync

When new terms are introduced:

  1. Check if term exists in GLOSSARY.md
  2. If not, add to appropriate section
  3. Maintain alphabetical order

Cross-Reference Validation

After index update:

  • All links resolve
  • No orphan files (not in any index)
  • Status badges accurate
  • Types match actual document_type
