#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Regenerate _methods-index.md: a lineage forest over method notes. This is NOT a taxonomy. The `family` field is coarse grouping only and each method's real signature lives in its aspects (see Methods.md). This view just surfaces the genealogy the lineage edges already encode: `variant-of` is the tree spine; `refines` / `combines` are shown inline. Roots are ranked by number of descendants so the biggest method families float to the top. A node with no method note (ⓘ) is a lineage anchor only (a canonical method name others descend from that has not been analyzed as its own note). python3 _scripts/make_methods_index.py """ import glob import os import re from collections import defaultdict, Counter VAULT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) def fm_field(text, name): parts = text.split("---") if len(parts) < 2: return "" m = re.search(rf'^{name}:[ \t]*([^#\n]*)', parts[1], flags=re.M) # YAML: `# ...` is a comment return m.group(1).strip().strip('"') if m else "" def edge_targets(text, edge): out = [] for m in re.finditer(rf'^{edge}::\s*\[\[([^\]]+)\]\]', text, flags=re.M): out.append(m.group(1).split("|")[0].strip()) return out def paper_slug(text): m = re.search(r'^introduced-in:\s*"?\[\[([^\]]+)\]\]', text.split("---")[1], flags=re.M) \ if len(text.split("---")) > 1 else None return m.group(1).strip() if m else "" def main(): methods = {} for path in sorted(glob.glob(os.path.join(VAULT, "methods", "*.md"))): slug = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(path))[0] text = open(path, encoding="utf-8").read() methods[slug] = { "family": fm_field(text, "family"), "paper": paper_slug(text), "variant_of": edge_targets(text, "variant-of"), "refines": edge_targets(text, "refines"), "combines": edge_targets(text, "combines"), } # tree spine = first variant-of target parent = {} for s, d in methods.items(): parent[s] = d["variant_of"][0] if d["variant_of"] else None nodes = set(methods) | {p for p in parent.values() if p} children = defaultdict(list) for s in methods: p = parent[s] if p: children[p].append(s) roots = sorted(n for n in nodes if not parent.get(n)) def subtree_size(n, seen=None): seen = seen or set() if n in seen: return 0 seen.add(n) return len(children[n]) + sum(subtree_size(c, seen) for c in children[n]) def render(n, depth, out, seen): if n in seen: out.append(" " * depth + f"- {n} (cycle)") return seen = seen | {n} d = methods.get(n) if d: bits = [] if d["paper"]: bits.append(f"[[{d['paper']}]]") if d["family"]: bits.append(f"·{d['family']}·") extra = d["variant_of"][1:] ann = [] if extra: ann.append("also variant-of " + ", ".join(extra)) if d["refines"]: ann.append("refines " + ", ".join(d["refines"])) if d["combines"]: ann.append("combines " + ", ".join(d["combines"])) tail = (" — " + "; ".join(ann)) if ann else "" out.append(" " * depth + f"- [[{n}]] {' '.join(bits)}{tail}") else: out.append(" " * depth + f"- {n} ⓘ") for c in sorted(children[n], key=lambda x: (-subtree_size(x), x)): render(c, depth + 1, out, seen) fam = Counter(d["family"] or "—" for d in methods.values()) L = ["---", "tags: [meta]", "---", "", "# Methods index", "", "Generated by `_scripts/make_methods_index.py` — a lineage forest, **not a", "taxonomy**.
