Mark Eaton 553240c153 v2 chunk 3: bug fixes from real-draft triage + polish
Six independent fixes addressing the Anti-Communist Formations of LIS
real-draft test findings (chunk 2c). Four are bug fixes for issues
that destroyed user data or wasted API calls; two are polish quality
improvements revisited from the deferred list.

src/cmos/note_formatter.py — empty input guard (fix #1)
  Empty / whitespace-only input now short-circuits the API entirely
  and returns the input verbatim. Surfaced by note [66] in the
  Anti-Communist draft, where GPT-5 broke character on empty input
  and returned a conversational meta-reply ("Please paste the
  citation entry...") that then got substituted into the document.
  Whitespace preserved so cli.reformat_notes is byte-exact on empty
  notes. v2 only.

src/cmos/note_formatter.py — deprecated Latin guard (fix #2)
  New Python guard catches the full CMOS-18-deprecated Latin
  citation set (ibid, idem, id., op. cit., loc. cit.) and returns
  input verbatim before the API call. Rule 10 in the prompt also
  rewritten: explicitly says "return verbatim" instead of the old
  "return cleanest possible full-form note", which the model
  interpreted as "return empty when there's no information",
  silently destroying the marker. Surfaced by note [61] = "Ibid.".
  v2 only.

src/cmos/runtime_validator.py — shortened-form carve-out (fix #3)
  The "must contain italics" check is now skipped when the
  candidate looks like a CMOS shortened-form note (author last
  name, optional page, no italic content). Surfaced by ~30 of 107
  notes in the Anti-Communist draft that were correctly returned
  as shortened forms ("Rosen, 7.", "Mitchell, 197.") but rejected
  by the validator's strict italic check, firing the full retry
  budget on valid output (~60 wasted API calls per run). The
  carve-out is conservative: name-token regex + terminal period;
  doesn't match unstructured prose. Shared infrastructure — affects
  v1 and v2, no-op in v1's normal workflow because v1 outputs
  always have italics.

src/cmos/note_formatter.py — substantive prose pass-through (fix #4)
  Long discursive prose with no citation skeleton markers now
  short-circuits the API and returns the input verbatim. Surfaced
  by notes [8] (689 chars), [9] (893 chars), [75] (163 chars) in
  the Anti-Communist draft — substantive notes that the formatter
  was extracting a single citation from and silently discarding
  the surrounding commentary. CMOS 14.39 explicitly allows
  substantive notes; preserving them is the user's explicit policy
  ("preserve all free text as long as that does not break other
  formatting"). Detection: length > 150 chars AND no citation
  skeleton markers (parenthesized year, URL, vol./no./pp., DOI,
  terminal page or terminal year). Conservative — does not
  false-positive on legitimate first-occurrence notes. v2 only.

src/cmos/formatter.py + note_formatter.py — month/season preservation
  (polish #5)
  Both v1 rule 10 (journal article format) and v2 rule 5 (journal
  article note form) now explicitly instruct the model to preserve
  (Month YEAR) and (Season YEAR) parentheticals when the source
  provides them. Surfaced by entries in both Reading_Disrepair and
  Anti-Communist where (Spring, 1993) and August 1952 were silently
  collapsed to (1993) and 1952. Both forms are valid CMOS but
  month/season is more informative when the source has it. Affects
  v1 and v2 in mirror.

src/cmos/note_formatter.py — government documents rule 19 (polish #7)
  v2 now has an explicit rule mirroring v1's rule 27: government
  bodies, institutional reports, and similar standalone documents
  get italicized titles and book-form treatment, NOT quoted-article
  treatment. Includes the Anti-Communist Senate of California
  Tenth Report and a hypothetical GAO example. Implicit handling
  worked in chunk 2c, but explicit rule provides regression
  protection. v2 only.

Tests: +14 net new (across test_note_formatter.py, test_formatter.py,
test_runtime_validator.py). Total suite 150/150 (was 136 before this
chunk). All v1 tests still passing.

Path B status: formatter.py and runtime_validator.py edits cross
the v1/v2 boundary, but only by user-explicit approval per the
relevant fix discussions. The shared validator was always shared;
the v1 formatter rule 10 mirror is a small additive edit that
doesn't affect the v1 prompt's existing behavior on its existing
inputs.

Mark Eaton d061f78b7f v2 chunk 2a iter 1: rules 6+18 — ed. invariant, expand publishers
Two prompt edits to SYSTEM_PROMPT_NOTES driven by chunk 1 smoke test
gaps on chapter_first_doyle.toml.

Rule 6 (chapter form) expanded with an explicit invariance statement:
"ed." is the canonical abbreviation regardless of editor count — do
NOT pluralize to "eds." for multiple editors. CMOS NB treats it as
an invariant abbreviation, not a number-agreeing word.

New rule 18 (publisher expansion) mirrors v1 formatter.py rule 14:
publisher names must be in full canonical form, with note-form-
specific examples ("U of Chicago Press" → "University of Chicago
Press"). Includes the same MIT Press / ALA Editions / MLA carve-out
for publishers whose canonical self-presentation legitimately uses
initials.

Two new prompt-content unit tests added to tests/test_note_formatter.py
following the v1 test_formatter.py discipline. TDD cycle: red-green-
verified end-to-end.

Real-API smoke test, 3 v2 exemplars × 2 runs each: 6/6 byte-perfect
matches (was 4/6 in chunk 1; chapter_first_doyle went 0/2 → 2/2,
book and journal still 2/2). v1 untouched, 96/96 v1 tests still
passing. Total suite: 116/116.

Mark Eaton 28ca3ac928 v2 chunk 1: scaffold note formatter (Path B parallel artifact)
Begin v2 (in-text citation note form) as a parallel artifact to the
v1 bibliography formatter, per the Path B architectural decision:
no shared mutable state, no shared prompt content, no v1 changes.

New artifacts:

- src/cmos/parser.py: add find_notes() / NoteDefinition /
  NotesParseResult as siblings to split_bibliography(). Targets
  pandoc-style markdown footnote definitions [^marker]: text.
  Single-line only; multi-line continuation deferred.

- src/cmos/note_formatter.py: new module mirroring formatter.py.
  17-rule SYSTEM_PROMPT_NOTES for CMOS 18 first-occurrence note
  form. Reuses cmos.runtime_validator.validate() unchanged — its
  structural checks all apply to note form too. Caller injection,
  retry loop, and model selection mirror v1.

- tests/test_parser.py: 7 new tests for find_notes().

- tests/test_note_formatter.py: 11 new tests mirroring v1 test
  discipline (no API calls, fake-caller injection, retry semantics,
  prompt smoke checks).

- exemplars/notes/: new subdirectory with 3 hand-synthesized
  first-occurrence note exemplars (book, journal article, chapter
  in edited book). Uses expected_note as the field name (not v1's
  expected_bibliography). harness/score.py:load_exemplars uses a
  non-recursive glob, so the v1 canary loader does not see these —
  Path B isolation is automatic.

v1 untouched. v1 canary still loads exactly 17 exemplars. Full
test suite: 96 v1 + 18 new v2 = 114 passing.

Smoke-tested all 3 v2 exemplars against real GPT-5 (not fakes),
2 runs each. book_first_yu and journal_first_kwon: 4/4 byte-perfect
on the first try. chapter_first_doyle: 0/2, surfacing two known
prompt gaps for the next iteration:

  1. Publisher abbreviation not expanded ("U of Chicago Press"
     preserved instead of "University of Chicago Press"). v1's
     formatter.py rule 14 is missing from the v2 prompt.

  2. "ed." pluralized to "eds." for multiple editors. CMOS NB
     uses "ed." invariantly regardless of editor count.

Both gaps are addressable prompt edits, not architectural problems —
exactly the kind of finding the dev loop is designed to surface.

Out of scope (deferred to chunk 2 and later): CLI extension,
shortened-form generation, document reassembly, harness scoring
loop integration, v2 linter rules, real-draft testing.
