docs(adr): nested outline manifest and batch/combined export design

ADR-0029 supersedes ADR-0008's flat [[parts]] with a per-folder
manifest.toml outline tree (root = implicit top container, single
section container kind, DFS pre-order = lesson order).

ADR-0030 extends ADR-0009/0011: cph build batches all targets (any
failure => non-zero), cph bundle assembles ordered lessons into one
SingleFile/FileTree artifact (self-contained lessons, export-time
combination only).

# ADR 0029: Engineering-File Structure Is A Nested Outline Manifest
## Status
Accepted. **Supersedes ADR-0008** on the concrete layout of a lesson's
structure (the ordered `[[parts]]` arrangement), and discharges the
"grouping/sectioning" and "manifest richness" gaps ADR-0008 left Open. ADR-0007
(the engineering file is a real directory tree) stands unchanged. ADR-0005's
"a lesson is an ordered sequence of element instances" stands unchanged — order
and membership are preserved; the *shape* that encodes them is now a tree.
## Context
ADR-0008 encodes a lesson's order and membership as a **single flat `[[parts]]`
array** in a root `manifest.toml`, where every `[[parts]]` entry is a `kind` +
`path` to an element folder. Two forces now push against that flat shape:
1. **Real lessons are internally structured.** TH-144 has a `题目/` tree of
problem/answer pairs and A/B/C sections that exist only in folder names
today. Teachers think of a lesson as an **outline** — sections, sub-sections,
groups of worked examples — not an unbroken flat list of ~40 parts. The
admin/teacher surface (the 老师端 being built against the Hub) is supposed to
show "the project structure, expanding each structural element to the files
inside" — and today that structure is a giant flat scroll.
2. **Outline and file structure should correspond 1:1, not via a separate
index.** The 7.31 design discussion landed on a shape where each level of the
lesson is a folder whose manifest states that level's children — so the
on-disk tree *is* the outline, self-descriptive, with no secondary artifact
to drift out of sync. A flat root `[[parts]]` list, by contrast, names the
whole lesson in one file and forces the folder tree to be a projection of it
(or vice versa) with two sources of truth.
ADR-0008 itself anticipated this: its Open Questions list "Per-part metadata,
grouping/sectioning (TH-144's A/B/C structure is only in folder names today)" as
explicitly not modeled. This ADR closes that gap.
## Decision
### A lesson is a tree of folders; each folder is a self-describing node whose manifest names its children
The engineering file remains a real directory tree (ADR-0007). The ordering and
membership encoding of ADR-0008 changes from **one flat root `[[parts]]`** to a
**nested, per-folder outline**:
- The root's `manifest.toml` keeps `[project]`, `[info]`, and the `[targets.*]`
build configuration exactly as ADR-0008/0011 define them.
- The lesson's **structure is expressed as a folder tree**, where every folder
that groups children carries its own small **outline manifest** (per-folder
`manifest.toml`, see *Name and discriminator* below) stating that level's
ordered children.
- A **leaf** is an element folder exactly as ADR-0008 defines it: an
`element.toml` declaring `kind` + scalar fields, plus convention-named
content `.typ` siblings. A leaf has no outline manifest — its own
`element.toml` is its descriptor.
- An **internal folder** (a grouping node) has an outline manifest but no
`element.toml`: it is not an element, it is a container of elements/containers.
It carries only structure and, optionally, group-level scalar metadata.
### The engineering-file root is itself the implicit top container
Children live directly in the root `manifest.toml`'s `children` array — there is
no mandated single top-level section folder. Rationale: migration is a pure
flatten of the existing root `[[parts]]` into root `children` (same order, zero
forcing); a mandated wrapper folder would be pure indirection for most lessons.
A lesson that wants a top-level section simply creates one as a child
(consistent with the ADR-0021 folder-tree precedent, which holds direct children
at the root).
### Name and discriminator: every grouping folder uses `manifest.toml`
Every folder that groups children uses the same filename, `manifest.toml`, at
every level including the root:
- Root `manifest.toml`: `[project]`, `[info]`, `[targets.*]`, plus a `children`
array.
- Internal folder `manifest.toml`: `children` (+ optional `[group]` scalars);
never `[project]`/`[info]`/`[targets.*]`.
The leaf/container discriminator is disjoint and structural: a folder with
`element.toml` is a **leaf** (ADR-0008 descriptor); a folder with `manifest.toml`
and no `element.toml` is a **container**; a folder with neither is a structural
error. `OUTLINE.toml` was rejected (a new reserved name, no benefit over the
uniform name); `info.toml` was rejected because it collides with the model's
`Info` (title/author, folded into root `manifest.toml`'s `[info]` by ADR-0008)
and would blur "metadata vs structure". The 7.31 sketch's intent — each level
self-describes its children — is preserved; the name aligns with current
ADR-0008.
### Order is encoded per-folder, and the lesson order is the depth-first traversal
ADR-0005 requires the lesson to be an ordered sequence. In the tree, **order is
declared locally at each folder** by the order of children in that folder's
`manifest.toml`. The canonical lesson order is the **depth-first pre-order
traversal** of the tree: an internal folder contributes no element of its own
(its label is a heading, not a part), and leaves contribute in the order they
appear. The checker materializes this traversal; no part of the lesson order
lives in a typst script (ADR-0008's core rejection of typst-as-order-manifest
stands).
Concretely, a `segment` that in TH-141 was one flat `[[parts]]` entry can now be
a folder whose outline lists its sub-segments and examples in order — and any
grouping (TH-144's A/B/C, a "导言 cluster", a "例题组") is a folder, transparent
in the element sequence but a real node in the outline.
### The outline manifest shape
A folder's `manifest.toml` `children` array holds its ordered children. Each
child entry is either:
```toml
# a leaf element (ADR-0008 descriptor), by relative path
{ kind = "example", path = "examples/41届复赛三-1-混注石油" }
# or an internal grouping folder, by relative path (recursed)
{ kind = "section", path = "导言簇" }
```
The `kind` of a **leaf** is still read from that folder's `element.toml`
(ADR-0008: the folder is self-describing; the outline entry may restate it for
readability but the `element.toml` is authoritative). The `kind` of an
**internal** child is a container kind — recognized from a small, open set of
container kinds — and selects how that subtree is rendered/grouped. Leaves and
containers are disjoint by construction: a folder is a container iff it has a
`manifest.toml`; a leaf iff it has an `element.toml`. A folder must have exactly
one of the two.
### Container kinds: MVP ships exactly one — `section`, rendered as a heading
The demonstrated needs (TH-144's A/B/C, a "导言簇") are all `section`, so the
MVP ships exactly one container kind:
- A `section` opens a **heading** at its depth in the DFS, then renders its
children in order; it never appears in the element part sequence (the
already-decided DFS semantics).
- The heading uses `[group].title` when present, else the folder name.
- `group` (a heading-less visual grouping) and any other container kind are
**deferred**: added only when a real need appears, honoring ADR-0005's open
universe / "add when needed".
### Group-level scalars
An internal folder MAY carry a `[group]` table (e.g. a title distinct from the
folder name, a description) in its `manifest.toml`. Kept minimal — no other
container metadata until a real need appears.
### The flat `[[parts]]` array at the root is retired for structure
The root `manifest.toml` no longer needs a root-level `[[parts]]` that names the
whole lesson. Lesson structure lives in the folder tree, rooted at the
engineering-file root's `manifest.toml` `children`. `[targets.*]` and
`[project]`/`[info]` stay at the root `manifest.toml`.
## Consequences
- The teacher/admin surface shows the outline: the folder tree *is* the lesson
structure, self-descriptive and 1:1 with files. Opening an element reveals its
files (as the 老师端 requirement asked). This discharges the 7.31 driver
("项目内部有一套 cph schema 定义的结构,由 manifest 组织,给老师看的应该是这个,
展开每个结构元素内部才是文件").
- The checker can still recover the full ordered lesson **without evaluating
typst**: it reads the root `manifest.toml` (project/info/targets) and walks the
folder tree, honoring each folder's `manifest.toml` children order and each
leaf's `element.toml`. Order and membership remain declarative data, greppable
and diffable.
- Grouping (sections) is now a real, checkable structure rather than a folder
naming convention — TH-144's A/B/C can be first-class.
- Every folder is self-describing, so a subtree can be understood/moved on its
own; nothing about a subtree's structure lives only in the root file.
- Migration is mechanical: flatten the existing root `[[parts]]` into root
`children` with the same leaf order (root is the implicit top container, so no
wrapper folder is needed). The element sequence is unchanged, so
`cph check`/`cph build` semantics for leaves carry over.
## Open Questions / Deferred
- **Target-scoped container options** (e.g. hide a section in the student
build): deferred, stay out of structure. ADR-0009/0011 field-visibility /
per-target map already handles this in rendered output, not structure; keep it
there unless a concrete need forces it back into the manifest.
- **Additional container kinds** beyond `section` (e.g. a heading-less `group`):
deferred until a real need appears (open universe, ADR-0005).
- **Container metadata beyond `[group]`** (title/description): deferred — only
the minimal `[group]` table ships; richer container scalars await a concrete
authoring need.
## Supersedes
ADR-0008's "the ordering manifest is declarative" decision stands; this ADR
replaces its **flat `[[parts]]` encoding of order/membership** with the nested
per-folder outline. ADR-0008's other decisions (declarative `manifest.toml`/
`element.toml`, folder self-description, content-file naming convention, schema
as source of truth for which `.typ` files exist) are unchanged and carry into
this tree form.

# ADR 0030: Batch & Combined Export
## Status
Accepted. **Extends/refines ADR-0009 and ADR-0011** (export target = a build
producing a typed artifact) by adding **two** export dimensions that today have
no home: (1) building **multiple targets of one lesson** in one batch, and (2)
**combining multiple lessons into one** artifact — a 讲义合集 / course bundle.
It does **not** redefine the SingleFile vs FileTree artifact distinction
(ADR-0011) or the single-`typstCompile`-step MVP; it adds the *collection*
semantics on top.
## Context
Today `cph build --target T` builds exactly one target `T` of one engineering
file into one artifact. Two real needs fall outside that:
1. **A lesson's multiple versions.** A lesson already declares several targets
(student handout, teacher plan, slides, script). Producing all of them is
today N separate `cph build` invocations with no shared invocation, ordering,
or failure summary. Teachers preparing a lesson want "build the whole lesson
in all needed forms" as one action.
2. **Combining lessons into one deliverable.** ADR-0005 deferred "course =
arrangement of lessons" — a course/unit is *not* an engineering file; it is
an arrangement of lessons "modeled elsewhere". The elsewhere is empty. A real
deliverable is a **讲义合集 / course bundle** — several lessons ordered into
one document (e.g. "期中复习合集", a term bundle, a topic compilation). This
spans multiple engineering files and currently has no model and no CLI path.
Both are product-plain features (the 老师端 exports; a bundle is what a teacher
hands a class), not architectural speculation.
## Decision
### The existing single-lesson single-target build is the atomic unit
ADR-0009/0011's model — a target is a build over one lesson producing one
`Artifact` via ordered `Step`s — is unchanged and remains the *unit*. Nothing
below replaces it; the new semantics are **aggregations over that unit**.
### Dimension 1 — Batch: build a set of targets of one lesson
`cph build` on a lesson gains the ability to produce **several targets in one
invocation**, as one batched operation:
- The lesson root `manifest.toml` `[targets.*]` already enumerates the declared
targets and their order (ADR-0008/0011). Building "all declared targets" is the
default batch: each declared target builds to its own artifact
(`build/<target>.{pdf,md}`), in declaration order.
- A batched build is **non-transactional and independent per target**: each
target is a separate build with its own artifact, own diagnostics, own
exit/result. One target failing (e.g. teacher plan PDF) does not block the rest
(student PDF), matching the per-target independent-failure stance of
ADR-0009's "missing render for a used kind ⇒ warning, non-blocking".
- The batch emits a **summary**: a per-target ledger (ok/failed + its artifact
or error), and a **non-zero aggregate exit if any target failed** to produce
its artifact. A target that fails to produce its artifact is a real defect
(this repo's fail-fast stance — don't paper over bugs), distinct from
ADR-0009's "missing render rule ⇒ warning" (a policy-level skip, non-error).
"Don't block the rest" still holds: every target is attempted, but a single
failure makes the aggregate non-zero so CI/observability catch it. This is the
CLI's job; it is the natural "build the whole lesson" affordance.
### Dimension 2 — Combined: arrange multiple lessons into one artifact
A **course bundle** is a new, lightweight, second kind of engineering-file-adjacent
unit: an **ordered arrangement of lessons** (ADR-0005's deferred "course =
arrangement of lessons" finally given a concrete export home).
#### Bundle carrier: a directory containing `bundle.toml`
A bundle is a **directory containing `bundle.toml`**. A directory gives the
bundle a stable root for relative lesson paths and a home for build output
(echoing ADR-0007's "engineering file = directory"). The `bundle.toml` carries:
- `[info]` — the bundle's own title/author (of the 合集);
- `[targets.*]` — the bundle's build configuration, reusing ADR-0011's build
mechanism;
- an ordered `lessons` array — each entry: a lesson path (relative to the
bundle root, pointing at each engineering-file root, each a self-contained
directory tree per ADR-0007) plus optional per-lesson per-target overrides.
A bundle target produces an **ordered concatenation/assembly of the lessons'
artifacts or content** into one `Artifact`, reusing the ADR-0011 artifact ADT:
- `SingleFile` — a combined document (讲义合集): the lessons' content assembled
in order into one compiled document, with the existing cross-reference /
`@label` machinery working because it is one compiled document (the same
reason ADR-0011 gives for why SingleFile concatenation works at all).
- `FileTree` — each lesson to its own file plus a generated index (ADR-0011's
third-party-archive case, now with a first-class multi-lesson trigger).
A bundle target's steps are the **ordered typed steps** of ADR-0011, but the
"map" now operates at the level of whole lessons rather than a single lesson's
parts: a step like `assembleLessons` (ordered inclusion of each lesson's
content/artifact) plus the existing `typstCompile`/`shell` steps for assembly
and any post-processing. Concretely the framework provides a
`typstCompile`-style step that pulls each listed lesson's content in order into
one document (mirroring how a single lesson's template pulls its parts).
#### Renumbering in a `SingleFile` bundle: template-resident, default reset per lesson
Numbering is presentation, which ADR-0011 already owns to the template file (not
the manifest), so the **bundle target's template decides** whether auto-counters
reset at lesson boundaries; the framework ships a helper to reset counters at a
lesson boundary. The **recommended default resets auto-counters at each lesson
boundary**: lessons are authored self-contained, so an internal "例题3" means
that lesson's 例题3; cross-lesson continuation would silently break author
references. A genuine "全书 continuous numbering" is an explicit template
override. `@label` cross-references stay global (resolved by label name,
independent of counters); only auto-increment counters reset.
#### Bundles do not nest (MVP)
A bundle references lessons only, not other bundles, until a real need appears —
mirrors the tree-nesting simplicity and keeps the first bundle target minimal.
### Invariant: lessons stay self-contained; combination is export-time only
Opening the door to combining lessons must **not** open the door to cross-lesson
imports inside a lesson's own content (ADR-0006's import boundary: within one
engineering file plus `@package`, never into a sibling lesson). A bundle is
allowed to *assemble already-authored lessons at export time* — reading their
content for the combined artifact — but no lesson's rich content may `import`
another lesson's internals as part of *its own* authoring. Combination is a
**projection over self-contained lessons**, exactly as a render target is a
projection over a lesson. This keeps each engineering file independently
checkable, buildable, and movable, and avoids reintroducing cross-file coupling
ADR-0006 explicitly rejected.
### CLI surface
- `cph build <lesson>` → all declared targets (the batch default).
- `cph build <lesson> --target student --target teacher` → the named subset
(the multi-version batch), in the given order.
- `cph bundle <bundle-path> --target <name>` → build one combined bundle target
(`SingleFile` merged doc or `FileTree`), giving the multi-lesson merge.
(`cph build` on a bundle root is the batch-of-bundle-targets equivalent.)
## Consequences
- **One lesson, many versions** is one command with a per-target ledger — the
natural 老师端 "导出全部版本" action, and any single failure surfaces as a
non-zero aggregate.
- **Course = arrangement of lessons** gets a concrete, export-focused home (the
bundle), discharging the ADR-0005 deferred item without inventing a full
course-authoring model.
- The **artifact/distinction and build-step machinery (ADR-0011) is reused** — a
bundle target is just a build whose inputs are whole lessons, not a new
parallel export engine.
- **Self-containment stays** (ADR-0006/0007): each lesson remains independently
checkable and buildable; the bundle only reads them for assembly. A lesson and
a bundle can version/evolve independently.
- The teacher surface can offer "export all versions" (batch) and "compile into
a 合集" (combined) as two concrete, productisible actions.
## Open Questions / Deferred
- **Bundle-of-bundles / nesting** — no nesting in MVP; re-open only when a real
need appears.
- **Dedup/caching across targets and lessons** — none in MVP, consistent with
ADR-0011's "no caching in MVP".
- **Exact counter-reset semantics in a `SingleFile` bundle** — the default
(reset per lesson) is decided; the precise mechanism (which counters, how the
template override is expressed) is settled with the first bundle template
implementation.
