ASI Backbone Learning 0.14.0 is an educational quality and publication-reliability release. It improves documentation structure, accessibility, discoverability, citation metadata, link validation, and DocFX maintenance boundaries.

Highlights

  • Standardized heading hierarchy across labs, roadmap, and community documents.
  • Enforced one H1 per page and prevented skipped heading levels.
  • Added and standardized page-orientation metadata.
  • Enforced concise page descriptions of no more than 160 characters.
  • Standardized pattern-classification vocabulary.
  • Restored missing sample and Advanced-content catalog entries.
  • Improved DOI, citation, anchor, and repository-directory link validation.
  • Cleaned up DocFX resource and custom-template layout.
  • Improved RSS and documentation-publication behavior.
  • Clarified fictional ADR lifecycle examples.
  • Added a confidential Code of Conduct reporting route.
  • Corrected licensing and package-naming documentation.

Documentation Validation

The metadata validator now covers both published documentation and repository planning material. It checks:

  • Heading hierarchy
  • Publication-date formatting
  • Page descriptions
  • Pattern classifications
  • Canonical metadata
  • Generated-page publication metadata

The DocFX baseline validator now protects resource, theme-asset, and authoring-content boundaries.

Link and Publication Reliability

Link validation now:

  • Checks DOI and Zenodo links.
  • Validates Markdown anchors.
  • Resolves both blob/main and tree/main links against the revision under test.
  • Preserves consistent behavior between local validation and CI.

RSS links now resolve correctly under both the GitHub Pages path and local documentation previews. Changes to the metadata validator also trigger documentation publication.

The IndexNow self-test now cleans up its synthetic Git repository correctly on Windows.
