# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
Dify documentation repository built with Mintlify, supporting multi-language documentation (English, Chinese, Japanese) with AI-powered automatic translation via Dify workflows.
## Documentation Structure
- **Format**: MDX files with YAML frontmatter (`title` and `description` required)
- **Languages**: `en/`, `cn/`, `jp/` (source: en)
- **Configuration**: `docs.json` (navigation structure) - [Mintlify schema](https://mintlify.com/docs.json)
## Translation System
### Language Configuration
All language settings in `tools/translate/config.json` (single source of truth):
```json
{
"source_language": "en",
"target_languages": ["cn", "jp"],
"languages": {
"en": {"code": "en", "name": "English", "directory": "en"},
"cn": {
"code": "cn",
"name": "Chinese",
"directory": "cn",
"translation_notice": "⚠️ AI translation..."
}
}
}
```
**Adding new language**: Edit config.json only - add to `target_languages` and `languages` object with required fields.
### Workflow
- **Trigger**: Push to non-main branches with `.md/.mdx` changes in `en/`
- **Process**: Dify API streaming mode with terminology database (`termbase_i18n.md`)
- **Timing**: New files ~30-60s/lang | Modified files ~2-3min/lang (context-aware with git diff)
- **Auto-operations**: Translation notices, incremental docs.json sync
### Surgical Reconciliation (Move & Rename)
**Purpose**: Detect and apply structural changes (moves, renames) from English section to cn/jp automatically.
**How it works**:
1. Compares English section between base commit and HEAD
2. Detects **moves** (same file, different `group_path`) and **renames** (deleted+added in same location)
3. Applies identical operations to cn/jp using **index-based navigation**
**Index-based navigation**:
- Groups matched by position index, not name (works across translations: "Nodes" ≠ "节点")
- Location tracked as `group_indices: [0, 1]` (parent group index 0, child index 1)
- Navigates nested structures regardless of translated group names
**Rename specifics**:
- Detects file extension (.md, .mdx) from physical file
- Preserves extension when renaming cn/jp files
- Updates docs.json entries (stored without extensions)
### Navigation Sync Behavior
**Manual editing**: Only edit English (`en`) section in docs.json - workflow syncs to cn/jp automatically.
**Auto-sync operations**:
- **Added files**: Fresh translation, inserted at same index position as English
- **Modified files**: Context-aware update using existing translation + git diff
- **Deleted files**: Removed from all language sections + physical files
- **Moved files**: Detected via `group_path` changes, cn/jp relocated using index-based navigation
- **Renamed files**: Detected when deleted+added in same location, physical files renamed with extension preserved
### First-Time Contributor Approval Flow
For PRs from forks by contributors who are not OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR:
1. **PR opened** → Analyze workflow runs → Execute workflow checks for approval
2. **No approval found** → Execute skips translation, posts "pending approval" comment
3. **Maintainer approves PR** → `sync_docs_on_approval.yml` triggers automatically
4. **"Approval received" comment posted** → Analyze workflow re-runs with fresh artifacts
5. **Execute workflow runs** → Finds approval → Creates translation PR
**Approval requirements**:
- Reviewer must have OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR association
- Approval triggers immediate translation (no additional push needed)
- Each approval posts a new comment preserving the timeline
**Edge cases**:
- If translation PR already exists when approval happens → info comment posted, no re-run
- If Analyze run is too old to re-run → error comment with instructions to push a small commit
- Internal PRs (same repo, not fork) → no approval gate, auto-translates immediately
**Manual trigger**: If approval flow fails, maintainers can manually trigger via Actions → Execute Documentation Sync → Run workflow (enter PR number)
## Development Commands
```bash
# Local preview
npm i -g mintlify
mintlify dev
# Local translation testing
pip install -r tools/translate/requirements.txt
echo "DIFY_API_KEY=your_key" > tools/translate/.env
python tools/translate/main.py
```
**Configuration**:
- Terminology: `tools/translate/termbase_i18n.md`
- Languages: `tools/translate/config.json`
- Model: Configure in Dify Studio
**Git Rules**:
- NEVER use `--no-verify` or skip hooks
- Create new branch for each feature/fix
- Commit frequently with descriptive messages
## Testing & Debugging
### Test Translation Workflow
Create test PR with branch name `test/{operation}-{scope}`:
- **Add**: New file + docs.json entry
- **Delete**: Remove file + docs.json entry
- **Update**: Modify existing file content
- **Move**: Move file between groups in docs.json (e.g., Getting Started → Nodes)
- **Rename**: Rename file + update docs.json entry (tests extension preservation)
### Common Issues
**Translation failures**:
- **HTTP 504**: Verify `response_mode: "streaming"` in `main.py` (NOT `"blocking"`)
- **Missing output**: Check Dify workflow has output variable `output1`
- **Failed workflow**: Review Dify workflow logs for node errors
**Move/Rename issues**:
- **Not detected**: Check logs for "INFO: Detected X moves, Y renames" - if 0 when expecting changes, verify `group_path` actually changed between commits
- **Wrong location**: Structure mismatch between languages - verify group indices align (same nested structure)
- **File not found**: Extension detection failed - ensure file has .md or .mdx extension
**Success log pattern**:
```
INFO: Detected 1 moves, 0 renames, 0 adds, 0 deletes
INFO: Moving en/test-file from 'Dropdown > GroupA' to 'Dropdown > GroupB'
SUCCESS: Moved cn/test-file to new location
SUCCESS: Moved jp/test-file to new location
```
**Approval flow issues** (first-time contributors):
- **Translation not starting after approval**: Check Actions tab for `Retrigger Sync on Approval` workflow status
- **"Could not automatically start translation"**: Analyze run too old - push a small commit to trigger fresh workflow
- **Approval from non-maintainer**: Only OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR approvals unlock the gate
- **Multiple "pending approval" comments**: Normal - each commit triggers Execute which posts if no approval found
## Translation A/B Testing
For comparing translation quality between models or prompt variations:
```bash
cd tools/translate-test-dify
./setup.sh
source venv/bin/activate
python run_test.py
python compare.py results//
```
**Important**:
- Never commit `results/`, `mock_docs/`, or real API keys
- Always redact keys with `app-***` before committing
- See `tools/translate-test-dify/README.md` for details
