Subject: [PATCH 1/7] fix(markdown): preserve horizontal rules in splitBody
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Plain `---` in article body was treated as compiled_truth/timeline separator.
Wikis using `---` as horizontal rules between sections experienced severe
content truncation — a 23,887-byte article could store as 593 bytes, and
4,856 of 6,680 wikilinks were lost from the DB (73%) across a 1,991-article
knowledge base.

Now splits only on explicit `<!-- timeline -->` sentinel, `--- timeline ---`,
or `---` when immediately followed by a `## Timeline` or `## History` heading.
serializeMarkdown updated to emit `<!-- timeline -->` for round-trip stability.

Tests added for horizontal rules, sentinel splits, and heading-gated splits.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] fix(markdown): add wiki subdirectory type mappings in
 inferType

Only `/wiki/concepts/` was mapped; articles under `/wiki/analysis/`,
`/wiki/guides/`, `/wiki/hardware/`, and `/wiki/architecture/` all
silently defaulted to `type='concept'`, producing incorrect metadata
and breaking any type-filtered queries.

Adds explicit path-segment mappings for the four missing subtypes.
`concept` remains the default fallback.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] fix(postgres): use sql.json() for JSONB columns instead
 of JSON.stringify()::jsonb
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Postgres engine was passing `JSON.stringify(x)::jsonb` to postgres.js.
Because postgres.js v3 sends that as a plain string, the DB stores a JSONB
value that is itself a JSON string literal — not an object. Consequently
`frontmatter->>'key'` returns NULL in SQL and GIN indexes are ineffective.

Replace all three call sites (putPage, putRawData, logIngest) with
`this.sql.json(x)`, which is postgres.js v3's native JSONB serialization
and causes the driver to send the value with the correct wire type.

Also fix rowToChunk in utils.ts to handle embeddings returned as JSON
strings (a related symptom of the same driver/cast mismatch).

PGLite engine is unaffected — it uses `$n::jsonb` with JSON.stringify,
which is correct for that driver.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] fix(extract): support Obsidian-style wikilinks in link
 extraction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The extract command's regex only matched standard markdown links
`[text](path.md)`, missing the `[[path|display]]` wikilinks used by
Obsidian-style knowledge bases. A 2,000-article vault with thousands of
wikilinks extracted 0 links because of this.

Now handles both syntaxes:
- Standard markdown: `[text](relative/path.md)`
- Wikilinks: `[[path/to/page]]` and `[[path/to/page|Display Text]]`

Skips external URLs in both cases. Normalizes wikilink targets to
include .md suffix when missing.

Note: target-slug resolution for wikilinks still needs refinement —
relative paths like `[[concepts/foo]]` don't map cleanly to DB slugs
like `tech/wiki/concepts/foo` without context. Tracked for follow-up.

Tests added for wikilink patterns, display text handling, external
URL filtering.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] fix(extract): resolve relative and parent-relative
 wikilinks to full slugs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Wikilinks in wiki-style KBs use various formats that the previous extractor
failed to resolve, dropping ~30% of valid links:

- Relative bare name: [[foo]] in tech/wiki/concepts/ → tech/wiki/concepts/foo
- Cross-type shorthand: [[analysis/foo]] in tech/wiki/guides/ → tech/wiki/analysis/foo
  (authors omit leading ../ thinking in wiki-root-relative terms)
- Cross-domain under-specified: [[../../finance/wiki/...]] from depth-3 dirs
  resolves one level short because authors write 2× ../ when 3× is needed to
  reach KB root — ancestor search corrects this
- Fully-qualified: [[tech/wiki/concepts/foo]] — now handled by root fallback
- Section anchors: [[page#section]] — now stripped; bare [[#anchor]] skipped

Adds resolveSlug(fileDir, relTarget, allSlugs) that first tries the standard
path.join resolution, then progressively strips leading path components from
fileDir (ancestor search) until a matching slug is found. Returns null for
genuinely dangling targets (no matching page exists anywhere in the KB).

Also strips section anchors (#heading) from wikilink paths in
extractMarkdownLinks — they're intra-page refs and were causing lookup misses.

Analysis on the user's 2,074-page KB:
- Previously resolved: 6,760 raw / 5,039 unique deduped disk links
- After fix: 8,594 raw / 6,641 unique deduped disk links (+32% unique)
- Remaining 1,241 raw links are genuinely dangling (no matching page)

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] feat(orphans): add gbrain orphans command for finding
 under-connected pages

Surfaces pages with zero inbound wikilinks. Essential for content
enrichment cycles in KBs with 1000+ pages. By default filters out
auto-generated pages, raw sources, and pseudo-pages where no inbound
links is expected; --include-pseudo to disable.

Supports text (grouped by domain), --json, --count outputs.
Also exposed as find_orphans MCP operation.

Tests cover basic detection, filtering, all output modes.

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] feat(extract): support Obsidian wikilinks + wiki-style
 domain slugs in canonical extractor

extractEntityRefs now recognizes both syntaxes equally:
  [Name](people/slug)      -- upstream original
  [[people/slug|Name]]     -- Obsidian wikilink (new)

Extends DIR_PATTERN to include domain-organized wiki slugs used by
Karpathy-style knowledge bases:
  - entities  (legacy prefix some brains keep during migration)
  - projects  (gbrain canonical, was missing from regex)
  - tech, finance, personal, openclaw (domain-organized wiki roots)

Before this change, a 2,100-page brain with wikilinks throughout extracted
zero auto-links on put_page because the regex only matched markdown-style
[name](path). After: 1,377 new typed edges on a single extract --source db
pass over the same corpus.

Matches the behavior of the extract.ts filesystem walker (which already
handled wikilinks as of the wiki-markdown-compat fix wave), so the db and
fs sources now produce the same link graph from the same content.

Both patterns share the DIR_PATTERN constant so adding a new entity dir
only requires updating one string.
