CodeDox v0.3.0 - Major Architecture Improvements

🚀 Major Features & Improvements

Unified Code Extraction System

  • Complete refactor to a unified extraction architecture with factory pattern
  • New ExtractedCodeBlock model with semantic ExtractedContext for better code understanding
  • Consolidated HTML, Markdown, and RST extraction into specialized extractors with shared base class
  • Improved extraction rules: multi-line blocks always extracted, single-line with 3+ significant words
  • Better handling of unclosed markdown fence blocks and HTML button elements

Source-Scoped Duplicate Detection

  • Breaking Change: Duplicate detection now scoped to individual sources instead of global
  • Same code snippets can exist across different documentation sources
  • New composite unique constraint (document_id, code_hash) replaces global code_hash constraint
  • Automatic database migration system with migration 008_remove_code_hash_unique
  • Shared utility function find_duplicate_snippet_in_source() for consistent duplicate checking

Enhanced Frontend Experience

  • Refactored DocumentDetail page with custom useDocumentDetail hook
  • Improved search UX with better focus management and search result counts
  • Enhanced language filtering with count display in dropdown

🔧 Technical Improvements

Extraction Engine

  • Removed legacy SimpleCodeBlock and html_code_extractor.py systems
  • Factory pattern for creating format-specific extractors
  • Better context-aware HTML extraction with heading detection
  • Improved title extraction combining section headings with page titles
  • Enhanced RST support with better literal block detection

Database & Migrations

  • Automatic migration application on app startup
  • New migration check system that applies pending migrations automatically
  • Updated SQLAlchemy models for new constraint structure

Code Quality

  • Removed redundant wrapper functions and adapter layers
  • Cleaned up 34 files with 2,805 additions and 1,921 deletions in main refactor

🔄 Migration Notes

Automatic Migrations: The database schema will be automatically updated when starting the application. The migration adds source-scoped duplicate detection.

Breaking Changes:

  • Code extraction now uses ExtractedCodeBlock model instead of dictionary-based approach
  • Duplicate detection API changed from global to source-scoped
  • Removed container_type field from extraction models
