Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes document ingestion to emit semantically split chunks with derived identifiers and source metadata, but the current head still permits malformed artifact IDs, misclassifies Markdown code as headings, assigns incorrect heading paths across chunk boundaries, and preserves stale deduplication metadata. These can corrupt registry state and retrieval metadata, so merge should wait for the major correctness fixes; minor validation and lint cleanup also remain.

Preserve heading boundaries before semantic splitting.
Line 24 chunks the complete document before ChunkRecordBuilder selects one heading path from ChunkInfo.start_char_idx. If a chunk spans ## Architecture and ### Storage, Storage text receives the Architecture path. The supplied PR smoke run shows this result.
Segment at Document.heading_structure boundaries and rebase offsets, or split returned chunks at those boundaries. Add a regression test that produces a Storage record.

Update metadata for unchanged documents.
When identical content arrives in a later commit or pipeline run, Lines 45-48 retain the previous last_commit_sha and last_pipeline_run. The registry then reports an old processing position after a successful deduplication pass.
Assign the current commit and pipeline run before upsert. Add a regression test that processes identical text with a different commit and run ID.

Ignore headings inside Markdown code blocks.
extract() accepts # lines inside fenced code blocks and lines indented by four spaces. These lines are code, not headings. DocumentBuilder stores the false heading metadata, which changes downstream chunk heading paths and chunk IDs.

Week 8: Semantic Document Chunking Pipeline
Summary
Adds a document chunking foundation to the harvester pipeline: documents produced by earlier pipeline stages are now split into semantically coherent chunks, enriched with heading-path/line-range metadata, converted into RFC-facing ingestion records, and validated before being returned. Also includes CI stability fixes and dependency cleanup surfaced during review.
What's new
Semantic chunking (chunker.py)
DocumentChunker wraps LlamaIndex's SemanticSplitterNodeParser + HuggingFaceEmbedding (sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 by default) to split document text into semantically coherent segments.
Returns ChunkInfo objects (text, start_char_idx, end_char_idx) preserving exact offsets into the source text.
Empty/whitespace-only documents short-circuit to [] without invoking the splitter.
Structure-aware chunk records (chunk_record_builder.py)
ChunkRecordBuilder converts ChunkInfo objects into IngestChunkRecords, resolving:
the active Markdown heading path for each chunk (based on the chunk's starting line and the document's heading_structure)
1-based inclusive line ranges derived from character offsets
deterministic chunk_ids built from artifact ID, heading path, char offsets, and a content hash — so identical text at different offsets gets distinct IDs, while rebuilding the same chunk twice is idempotent
span.index / span.total for chunk ordering
Validation (chunk_record_validator.py)
ChunkRecordValidator enforces non-empty text/IDs, valid chunk_id prefix, consistent span.index/span.total, valid char and line ranges before a record is considered usable.
Pipeline glue (chunk_pipeline.py)
DocumentChunkPipeline composes chunker → record builder → validator into a single chunk(document) call, validating every record before returning them (fixed in the CodeRabbit follow-up — the pipeline previously skipped validation, so invalid records from a swapped-in chunker/builder could bypass it).
Benchmark
chunking_benchmark_test.py added as an opt-in benchmark (RUN_CHUNKING_BENCHMARK=1), consistent with the existing diff-pipeline benchmark pattern, so it doesn't hit HuggingFace/network on every CI run.
Testing
chunker_test.py, chunk_record_builder_test.py, chunk_record_validator_test.py, chunk_pipeline_test.py — new unit tests covering empty input, node-boundary/order preservation, heading-path resolution, chunk ID determinism/uniqueness, and validator rejection paths.
chunking_benchmark_test.py — opt-in perf smoke test, skipped by default.
Full harvester test suite passes locally (pytest application/tests/harvester_test/).
