๐ BUG FIX: Complete ParseException Fix - All Diagrams Working
User Request:
- "fix the CIA article ParseException"
Issue Fixed:
- Remaining ParseException errors for CIA, VIC, VIC-II, SID articles
- Matplotlib still attempting to parse math text despite usetex=False
- Complex title strings with parentheses and colons causing issues
Root Cause:
- matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = False alone was insufficient
- Matplotlib has separate 'text.parse_math' parameter for math parsing
- Default mathtext rendering still tried to interpret $ as delimiters
Solution:
- Added matplotlib.rcParams['text.parse_math'] = False (line 38)
- Added matplotlib.rcParams['mathtext.default'] = 'regular' (line 39)
- Simplified CIA title from complex string to two-line format
- Comprehensive matplotlib text parsing disabled at module level
Results:
- Articles increased from 23 to 24 (CIA now working)
- All hardware diagrams now generate successfully
- CIA diagram regenerated: cia_registers.png (75K)
- VIC-II diagram updated: vic-ii_memory_map.png (141K)
- SID diagram updated: sid_memory_map.png (125K)
CIA Diagram Improvements:
- Clean title: "CIA Chip Register Map"
- Subtitle: "CIA1: $DC00 | CIA2: $DD00"
- 11 color-coded registers (Data Ports, Timers, Clock, Interrupt, Serial)
- Professional appearance with $ symbols displaying correctly
Impact:

๐ BUG FIX: Article Generation ParseException - 1541 Diagram Now Working
User Request:
- "fix the 1541 article generation issue"
Issue Fixed:
- ParseException errors prevented diagram generation for 1541, SID, VIC-II articles
- Matplotlib was trying to parse '$' symbols as LaTeX math delimiters
- Articles failed during diagram generation before content could be created
Root Cause:
- plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] was set inside _generate_memory_map_diagrams() method
- Matplotlib needs this configuration set globally before any operations
- Parallel article generation caused timing issues with per-method configuration
Solution:
- Moved matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = False to module level (line 37)
- Set immediately after matplotlib.use('Agg') in imports
- Global configuration ensures all matplotlib operations respect setting
Results:
- Articles increased from 20 to 23 (1541, SID, VIC-II now working)
- 1541 diagram successfully generated: 1541_disk_layout.png (87K)
- SID diagram regenerated: sid_memory_map.png (120K)
- VIC-II diagram regenerated: vic-ii_memory_map.png (4.7K)
- All diagrams now display memory addresses with $ symbols correctly
Impact:
- 1541 article now includes professional disk layout diagram
- Shows 4-zone track organization with color coding
- Displays capacity breakdown (35 tracks, 683 sectors, ~170 KB)
- Complements other hardware diagrams in wiki
Known Issue:
- CIA article still has ParseException (separate issue, not diagram-related)
- Will investigate CIA-specific problem separately

Issues Fixed:
1. Only 49/215 documents had "View Source" buttons (PDFs didn't have file_path_in_wiki)
2. Article code examples were garbage (copyright pages, book covers, front matter)
3. Code extraction took first 3 chunks which are always boilerplate in PDFs
Changes:
**1. View Source for PDFs (wiki_export.py:3902)**
- _copy_pdfs() now sets file_path_in_wiki for successfully copied PDFs

User Issues:
- "Error loading PDF: Missing PDF" when trying to view PDFs
- PDFs not being copied to wiki directory (0 PDFs โ 9 PDFs)
- Request: "i want view source on front the same way as view PDF"
Root Causes:
- _copy_pdfs() used wrong attribute: 'filename' instead of 'filepath'

- Parallel article generation used shared db_conn causing SQLite thread errors
- Now uses separate sqlite3.connect() per thread with try/finally cleanup
Impact:
- Article generation now works correctly in parallel
- 24+ articles generated for major entities (SID, VIC-II, CIA, etc.)
- No more "name 'html_content' is not defined" errors

- Caused by f-string vs template string mismatch after v2.23.16 refactoring
Changes:
- Converted browser page templates to use placeholders and string replacement
- Functions now use html_template with {NAV} and {ABOUT} placeholders
- Replacement logic added before file write: .replace('{NAV}', self._get_main_nav(...))
- Functions with variable interpolation keep f-strings and call methods directly
- Fixed 10 HTML generation functions:
- _generate_index_html, _generate_entities_html, _generate_knowledge_graph_html
- _generate_similarity_map_html, _generate_topics_html, _generate_timeline_html
- _generate_documents_browser_html, _generate_chunks_browser_html

v2.21.1 (2025-12-23)
๐ BUG FIX: Health Check False Warning for Lazy-Loaded Embeddings
Fixed Issue:
- health_check() incorrectly warned "Semantic search enabled but embeddings not built"
- False alarm occurred when embeddings were lazy-loaded (not yet in memory)
- Affected systems with USE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=1 and built embeddings on disk
Changes:
- Health check now detects embeddings files on disk (not just in-memory)
- Shows correct embeddings count and size even when not yet loaded
- Properly handles default lazy loading behavior from v2.19.0
Impact:
- Eliminates false warning for systems with built embeddings
- Accurate health status reporting for lazy-loaded configurations
- Better user experience with semantic search

v2.19.0 (2025-12-22)
๐ MAJOR RELEASE: Performance Optimizations Phase 2 - Instant Startup!
Performance Improvements (Measured Results):
- Startup time: 1976ms โ 68ms (96.6% faster!)
- Initial memory: 5.48MB โ 0.31MB (94% reduction)
- FTS5 search: 92.52ms โ 84.50ms (8.7% faster)
- Semantic search: 20.01ms โ 15.93ms (20.4% faster)
- Overall: Nearly instant initialization for immediate use
Lazy Loading Optimization:
- Sentence-transformers model loads on first semantic search use
- Defers ~2.5 second model initialization until actually needed
- Users who don't use semantic search never pay the loading cost
- First semantic search takes ~2.5s (one-time), subsequent searches unaffected
- Massive improvement for startup experience
Technical Implementation:
- New method: _ensure_embeddings_loaded() for lazy initialization
- Modified __init__() to skip model loading
- Updated semantic_search() and _build_embeddings() to trigger lazy load
- Verified parallel hybrid search already implemented (ThreadPoolExecutor)
- Confirmed 24 database indexes already optimized
Performance Analysis Tools:
- profile_performance.py: Comprehensive profiling script
- benchmark_final.py: Before/after comparison benchmarks
- PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATIONS_PHASE2.md: Full optimization documentation
- performance_phase2_results.json: Detailed metrics
Impact on User Experience:
- Knowledge base ready in under 70ms (essentially instant)
- No waiting for initialization
- Reduced memory footprint by 94%
- Search performance maintained or improved
- Trade-off: First semantic search slower (acceptable one-time cost)
REST API Fixes (from v2.18.0):
- Fixed attribute name bugs: kb.conn โ kb.db_conn
- Fixed attribute name bugs: kb.db_path โ kb.db_file
- Fixed attribute name bugs: kb.use_semantic_search โ kb.use_semantic

v2.17.1 (2025-12-22)
๐ ENHANCEMENT: Automatic HTML Frame Detection and Scraping
Frame Detection & Handling:
- Automatic detection of <frameset>, <frame>, and <iframe> pages
- Extract frame source URLs and convert relative paths to absolute
- Scrape each frame individually with recursive link following
- Combine results from all frames into single unified response
- No user configuration required - fully automatic
Implementation:
- New method: _detect_and_extract_frames() using requests + regex
- Modified scrape_url() to detect frames before calling mdscrape
- Frame scraping uses parent directory as URL limit for proper link following
- Duplicate content detection working across frames
Testing & Validation:
- Successfully tested on sidmusic.org/sid/ (frame-based site)
- Scraped 2 frames + 18 sub-pages (technical docs, composers, SID player, etc.)
- Proper handling of duplicate content across frames
- Response includes 'frames_detected' field for transparency
Documentation:
- Updated WEB_SCRAPING_GUIDE.md with frame handling section
- Added troubleshooting entry for frameset pages
- Updated example results to reflect frame detection
This resolves scraping limitations on legacy documentation sites that use
HTML frames (common in 1990s-era C64 documentation archives).
