Material for MkDocs reaches end of life on 2027-05-05, and its maintainers now build Zensical, so the docs site moves there before that date. Zensical reads the same Markdown and builds the same six pages. It also stops checking two things MkDocs checked: pages left out of the nav and links rooted at /. It drops both settings without a warning.

What changes

  • mkdocs.yml becomes zensical.toml, with the same nav, palette and Markdown extensions. It adds instant navigation, a "Copy as Markdown" button on every page and an llms.txt index.
  • docs/requirements-docs.txt pins zensical==0.1.0. Dependabot now bumps it monthly instead of weekly.
  • The Docs workflow builds with python -m zensical build --clean --strict, then runs .github/scripts/site-check.py on the built site. That script fails on a page missing from the nav, a nav entry for a missing file, a missing image, or a link rooted at /. Upload and deploy now run only on main.
  • theme.css keeps the white site name on the dark scheme only. Zensical's header is white in the light scheme, where a white name would vanish.
  • docs/development.md lists the new build commands, and .gitignore covers Zensical's .cache/.

Verified

  • Strict build on Python 3.13 with zensical==0.1.0: exit 0. site-check: 6 pages, 0 errors, prefix /ePubLangMerger/.
  • A link to a missing page, added on purpose, fails the build with exit 1.
  • The built pages are the six the MkDocs build of main has. llms.txt lists them.
  • Screenshots in both schemes: the header name reads on both, and instant navigation changes page without a reload, with no console errors.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • The documentation site now uses a new publishing setup, with updated navigation, search, light and dark themes, and support for Mermaid diagrams.
    • Documentation build guidance has been updated, and links, images, and navigation targets are checked for issues.
  • Style
    • Header text styling is now scoped to the dark color scheme.

build Zensical, so the docs site moves there before that date. Zensical builds
the same six pages from the same Markdown, adds instant navigation, a "Copy as
Markdown" button and an llms.txt index, and drops MkDocs' nav and absolute-link
validation without a warning; a post-build site check in the Docs workflow
puts those checks back.

Walkthrough

The documentation site configuration and build move from MkDocs to Zensical. A new script checks the built site. The documentation workflow runs both checks and limits Pages upload and deployment to non-PR runs on main.

Changes: Documentation site build and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zensical site configuration
zensical.toml, mkdocs.yml, docs/requirements-docs.txt, docs/stylesheets/theme.css, .gitignore, docs/development.md
Zensical configuration replaces the MkDocs configuration. The dependency pin and related build references are updated. The stylesheet sets the header name to white only in the slate scheme.
Built-site validation
.github/scripts/site-check.py
The new checker validates generated pages, links, navigation, configuration values, and expected artifacts. It sorts reported errors and returns a failing status when errors exist.
Workflow build and deployment
.github/workflows/docs.yml, docs/development.md, .github/dependabot.yml
The workflow runs a clean strict Zensical build followed by the site checker. Pages upload and deployment require a non-PR run on main. The docs dependency update schedule changes to monthly.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to f71d7

The documentation migration is mergeable after normal checks; the identified checker edge case and configuration comments do not materially affect this site.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 1 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
