What this PR does / why we need it:

Overhaul the MatrixOne English docs repository to serve both human readers and AI agents (Cursor / Claude Code / ChatGPT / MCP clients), and tighten the SQL
validation pipeline so documented examples stay in lockstep with the 3.0-dev nightly image.

Highlights

  1. Agent-friendly delivery (mkdocs build now emits)

    • site/llms.txt — curated index in llmstxt.org format with a blockquote of MatrixOne-specific hints for agents writing SQL.
    • site/llms-full.txt — whole corpus concatenated (~88 k lines) for long-context models.
    • site/MatrixOne/**/*.md — raw markdown mirror of every HTML page, so agents can append .md to any URL instead of parsing HTML.
    • README and CONTRIBUTING.md gain an "For AI Agents" section pointing at these endpoints.
  2. MySQL compatibility matrix, driven by frontmatter

    • Every page under docs/MatrixOne/Reference/SQL-Reference/** now declares mysql_compat (full / partial / none / mo_only / unknown) with
      optional differs_from_mysql and mo_only lists.
    • Enforced in CI by scripts/check-compat-frontmatter.js (wired into check-sql-syntax.yml).
    • Auto-generated summary page docs/MatrixOne/Reference/mysql-compatibility-matrix.md rebuilds on every mkdocs build via a pre-build hook.
    • First-round backfill across 126 pages: 38 full / 35 partial / 53 mo_only / 0 unknown, sourced from Overview/feature/mysql-compatibility.md
      cross-referenced with MySQL 8.0 reference.
  3. SQL validator fixes that unblock real execution checks

    • sql-runner.js: added a VOLATILE_COLUMNS allow-list (db, created_time, modified, role_id, size, …) so documented example output isn't
      flagged as stale when the sandbox database name or a timestamp legitimately differs.
    • db-connection.js: sandbox database names are now forced to lowercase, avoiding Unknown database doc_test_* failures on CREATE TABLE … PARTITION BY RANGE/LIST/HASH/KEY (MatrixOne lowercases identifiers via lower_case_table_names = 1).
    • KNOWN_ISSUES.md records the cause and reproduction for future regressions.
  4. Third-party SQL retagged with their real dialect

    • 17 fences across the Flink CDC tutorials rewritten from ```sql to ```flink / ```plsql / ```postgresql / ```tsql so the MatrixOne parser no longer chokes on them and readers get correct syntax highlighting.
  5. Tooling added for ongoing hygiene

    • scripts/sql-coverage-report.js — classifies every fenced block (executed / ignore-exec / ignore-all / impure / non-sql-language / admin /
      external-dependency).
    • scripts/triage-ignore-all.js — per-block parse + sandboxed execution with baseline cleanup between runs (drops residual non-system accounts / pitrs /
      snapshots / stages / publications / databases).
    • scripts/unmark-safe-ignore.js / scripts/remark-failing-as-ignore-exec.js / scripts/try-unmark-ignore-exec.js — reclaim ignore markers that are no
      longer load-bearing whenever we tighten the runner.

The workflow invoked the validator via `pnpm run check:sql-exec:changed --
--base-branch main`. pnpm 9 forwards the literal `--` to the script, so
commander treated `--base-branch` and `main` as positional file arguments
and `--changed-only` lost its base-branch input. Result: 0 files scanned,
0 SQL blocks, exit 0 — CI reported PASS without actually validating any
changed docs.

- Call node directly in the workflow so args reach commander verbatim.
- Reject `--changed-only` + positional args in the validator as a
  defensive guard against future reintroduction.
check-sql-syntax.yml had the same `pnpm run ... -- --base-branch` pattern
that caused the execution workflow to silently pass. The defensive guard
added in this PR's previous commit correctly flagged it (exit 1, no
silent pass), but the job still needs to run — switch to direct node
invocation so commander receives `--base-branch` verbatim.
… SQL

The splitter used plain `;` as a statement terminator, which broke any
documented compound statement whose body contains inner `;` — most
visibly `CREATE TASK ... AS BEGIN <stmt>; <stmt>; END;`. A single
compound got sliced into 3+ fragments and fed to the parser/runner
piecewise, yielding `syntax error near ""` on the first fragment and
`syntax error near "END;"` on the orphaned tail, even though the
MatrixOne parser accepts the compound as one statement.

Track block depth across lines:
- BEGIN opens a block (compound form); exclude `BEGIN WORK`,
  `BEGIN TRANSACTION`, and bare single-line `BEGIN;` — matching the
  SPBEGIN lookahead in pkg/sql/parsers/dialect/mysql/scanner.go.
- END closes a block.
- IF / LOOP / WHILE / CASE / REPEAT also open blocks when they are at
  the start of a line (or preceded only by a `label:`), matching the
  compound-statement grammar in mysql_sql.y. Expression uses like
  `SELECT CASE WHEN ... END` or `IF(a,b,c)` stay inline and are not
  counted.
- String literals and comments are skipped during the scan.

Only split on `;` when depth == 0. Applies to both splitSqlStatements
and splitSqlStatementsWithAnnotations so syntax and execution checkers
both benefit.
Ship the first pass of the Agent-friendly documentation roadmap:

- doc-validator baseline cleanup: drop stale `supportedVersions`, clarify
  that the real version comes from `MO_TARGET_BRANCH` / `mo-test-env.sh`,
  add `:all` scripts/targets and a KNOWN_ISSUES entry for the sql-runner
  `Unknown database` context-loss bug.
- Bypass that same validator bug in two partition-heavy pages via
  `<!-- validator-ignore-exec -->`. Full-corpus exec scan is now 0-fail
  across 414 pages / 1618 SQL statements on 3.0-dev nightly.
- Introduce `mysql_compat` frontmatter on every SQL-Reference page (126
  pages) with values derived from the authoritative overview
  `Overview/feature/mysql-compatibility.md` and cross-checked against
  MySQL 8.0. Distribution: 38 full / 35 partial / 53 mo_only / 0 unknown.
- Enforce that frontmatter in CI via `scripts/check-compat-frontmatter.js`
  (wired into `check-sql-syntax.yml`).
- Auto-generate `Reference/mysql-compatibility-matrix.md` from the
  frontmatter via a pre-build mkdocs hook.
- Emit the agent-delivery triple via a post-build hook:
    * per-page `.md` mirrors under `site/MatrixOne/**`
    * `site/llms.txt` (llmstxt.org format, curated featured pages)
    * `site/llms-full.txt` (full corpus concatenated, ~88k lines)
- Update README with an AI-agents section and CONTRIBUTING with a
  SQL-Reference contributor checklist.

Verified locally: `mkdocs build` succeeds and emits all three artefacts;
`pnpm run check:frontmatter` and `node scripts/doc-validator/index.js
--check=execution` both pass.
Five new scripts supporting ongoing SQL-block hygiene work:

- sql-coverage-report.js: classifies every fenced block (executed /
  ignore-exec / ignore-all / impure / non-sql-language / admin /
  external-dependency) so we can see how many SQL examples actually
  reach the execution checker.
- triage-ignore-all.js: for every validator-ignore block, attempts
  native-parser validation plus sandboxed execution against the
  running MatrixOne container. Includes baseline cleanup that drops
  non-system accounts/pitrs/snapshots/publications/stages/databases
  before each run, plus per-block pattern-based cleanup, so repeated
  triage runs start from a clean baseline. Handles mysql-style
  transcripts, syntax templates, query-timeout hangs, and connection
  recycling.
- unmark-safe-ignore.js: bulk-removes validator-ignore markers on
  blocks that triage classified as safe-to-run. HOLD_IGNORE carve-out
  for syntax-example blocks that must stay ignored.
- remark-failing-as-ignore-exec.js: runs the execution checker on a
  set of files, locates every failing statement, and inserts
  validator-ignore-exec on the enclosing SQL fence so those blocks
  still get syntax validation without tripping exec result diffs.
- retag-dialects.js: encodes dialect decisions (Flink / PL-SQL /
  PostgreSQL / T-SQL) and rewrites the fence language accordingly.
The Flink CDC tutorials interleave SQL from four different engines
(Flink SQL, Oracle PL/SQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server T-SQL) with
MatrixOne SQL. Previously every block was fenced as `sql` and carried
a `<!-- validator-ignore -->` to keep the MatrixOne parser from
rejecting them.

Retag the 17 third-party fences to their actual dialect so the
MatrixOne validator skips them naturally and readers get correct
syntax highlighting:

- Flink SQL DDL (CREATE TABLE ... WITH ('connector' = ...)) -> flink
- Oracle DDL (NUMBER / VARCHAR2)                             -> plsql
- PostgreSQL (replica identity full)                         -> postgresql
- SQL Server (NVARCHAR, master.dbo.*, exec sp_*)             -> tsql

Drop the now-redundant validator-ignore markers on the retagged
fences. MatrixOne-native blocks in the same files keep their `sql`
fence and remain checked.
…verage

Cross-referencing the triage-ignore-all report against the live
MatrixOne 3.0-dev container, 62 previously-ignored SQL blocks across
21 files parse AND execute cleanly. Strip their
`<!-- validator-ignore -->` markers so they participate in both the
syntax check and the execution check.

38 of those blocks then flagged on the full execution scan — not
because the SQL is wrong, but because the documented expected-output
hard-codes a database name like `db1` that won't match the per-file
`doc_test_*` sandbox, or the block depends on cross-block state
dropped between invocations. Those get `<!-- validator-ignore-exec -->`
added, keeping them in the syntax checker while skipping execution.

One block in comment.md (the `// ...` SQL-comment-syntax example)
was reclassified back to `<!-- validator-ignore -->` because its
content is intentionally unparseable documentation about comment
syntax itself.

End state: syntax check 431/431 files / 3690/3690 statements green;
exec check 432/432 files / 1699/1699 statements green. Coverage
report: ignore-all 211 -> 126 (-85), executed 494 -> 523 (+29).
…esult columns

Two sql-runner bugs were causing perfectly valid SQL examples to be
forced into `<!-- validator-ignore-exec -->` purgatory.

1) Unknown database on CREATE TABLE … PARTITION BY RANGE/LIST/HASH/KEY.
   MatrixOne defaults to `lower_case_table_names = 1`, so the planner
   lowercases identifiers internally when re-resolving the current
   database. The sandbox name built from the file path kept mixed
   case (e.g. `doc_test_docs_MatrixOne_Performance_Tun_…`), so MO
   looked up its lowercase twin and reported "Unknown database
   doc_test_docs_matrixone_…" even though SELECT DATABASE() still
   returned the original mixed-case name. Force the generated name
   to lowercase at construction time in
   utils/db-connection.js::createTestDatabase.

2) Expected-output assertions treated environment-dependent columns
   as if they were literal data. `SHOW FUNCTION STATUS` documented
   output hardcodes `Db = db1`; our sandbox runs in `doc_test_*`.
   Same story for `created_time`, `modified`, `role_id`, `size`, …
   Introduce a VOLATILE_COLUMNS allow-list in sql-runner.js and
   relax compareTableOutput() to only check presence (non-undefined)
   for those columns instead of a strict value match.

With both fixes in place, the corpus execution scan goes from
1681 to 1896 passing statements (+215) and frees 30 net
validator-ignore-exec markers across 31 files without introducing
any new failures (tracked separately in the follow-up document
commit).
After shipping runner fixes, many `<!-- validator-ignore-exec -->`
markers are no longer load-bearing. try-unmark-ignore-exec.js
reclaims them automatically: strip every marker, run the execution
checker over the affected files, and re-apply markers only on the
blocks that still fail. Leaves a file untouched if nothing would
change.

Meant to be re-run whenever we tighten the sandbox or add new
expected-output normalization — it keeps the ignore budget honest
without manual bookkeeping.
…fixes

Running the new try-unmark-ignore-exec reclamation pass after the
sandbox-naming and volatile-column fixes: 30 blocks across the
corpus no longer fail the execution checker and have their
`<!-- validator-ignore-exec -->` markers removed. 3 blocks still
need exec-skip (results depend on state the sandbox can't provide)
and have a fresh marker re-applied by remark-failing-as-ignore-exec.

Net coverage change (from scripts/sql-coverage-report.js):

  executed     523 -> 546  (+23)
  ignore-exec  430 -> 407  (-23)

Syntax check: 432/432 files / 3690/3690 statements green.
Execution check: 432/432 files / 1896/1896 statements green.

The remaining markers on the retained blocks are rewritten from the
inline form
    ```sql <!-- validator-ignore-exec -->
to the standalone form
    <!-- validator-ignore-exec -->
    ```sql
so the tooling treats every marker uniformly. No semantic change.
`Data-Manipulation-Language/load-data.md` no longer exists in the
SQL-Reference tree — the page was split into `load-data-infile.md` and
`load-data-inline.md` at some point and the top-level SQL-Type index
was never updated. markdown-link-check flagged it as the only true
dead link across this PR's 315 touched files (every other failure was
a GitHub rate-limit noise).

Point the index at both surviving pages.
…comparison

The mysql2 Node.js driver decodes MatrixOne BOOL columns and boolean-valued
expressions (comparisons, BETWEEN, IS) as JS numbers 1/0, while the `mysql`
CLI renders them as true/false — which is the form the docs mirror. Accept
both representations in valuesMatch so CLI-style expected output validates
correctly.

Clears 10 SQL-validation failures across data-types.md, is.md, and the 8
comparison-operator pages (=, <>, <, >, <=, >=, BETWEEN, NOT BETWEEN).
