# Documentation schema for learnings written by ce:compound

# Bug track — problem_type is a defect or failure (build_error, test_failure, etc.)

## Required Fields
## Tracks
- **module**: Module or area affected by the problem
The `problem_type` determines which **track** applies. Each track has different required and optional fields.
| Track | problem_types | Description |

## Optional Fields
## Bug Track Fields
Required:

## Optional Fields
## Bug Track Fields
Required:
- **symptoms**: YAML array with 1-5 observable symptoms (errors, broken behavior)
- **root_cause**: One of `missing_association`, `missing_include`, `missing_index`, `wrong_api`, `scope_issue`, `thread_violation`, `async_timing`, `memory_leak`, `config_error`, `logic_error`, `test_isolation`, `missing_validation`, `missing_permission`, `missing_workflow_step`, `inadequate_documentation`, `missing_tooling`, `incomplete_setup`

## Knowledge Track Fields
No additional required fields beyond the shared ones. All fields below are optional:
- **applies_when**: Conditions or situations where this guidance applies
- **symptoms**: Observable gaps or friction that prompted this guidance
- **root_cause**: Underlying cause, if there is a specific one
- **resolution_type**: Type of change, if applicable
## Optional Fields (both tracks)
- **rails_version**: Rails version in `X.Y.Z` format
- **related_components**: Other components involved
- **tags**: Search keywords, lowercase and hyphen-separated
## Optional Fields (bug track only)
- **rails_version**: Rails version in `X.Y.Z` format
## Backward Compatibility
Docs created before the track system may have `symptoms`/`root_cause`/`resolution_type` on knowledge-type problem_types. These are valid legacy docs:
- Bug-track fields present on a knowledge-track doc are harmless. Do not strip them during refresh unless the doc is being rewritten for other reasons.
- When creating **new** docs, follow the track rules above.

## Validation Rules
1. All required fields must be present.
2. Enum fields must match the allowed values exactly.
3. `symptoms` must be a YAML array with 1-5 items.
4. `date` must match `YYYY-MM-DD`.
5. `rails_version`, if present, must match `X.Y.Z`.
1. Determine the track from `problem_type` using the Tracks table.
2. All shared required fields must be present.
3. Bug-track required fields (`symptoms`, `root_cause`, `resolution_type`) must be present on bug-track docs.
4. Knowledge-track docs have no additional required fields beyond the shared ones.
5. Bug-track fields on existing knowledge-track docs are harmless (see Backward Compatibility).
6. Enum fields must match the allowed values exactly.
7. Array fields must respect min/max item counts.
8. `date` must match `YYYY-MM-DD`.
9. `rails_version`, if present, must match `X.Y.Z` and only applies to bug-track docs.
