Extend the v2 parser and CLI to handle [N] text footnote definitions in addition to pandoc-style [^marker]: text. The numbered format is what docx-to-text conversion of footnoted Word documents produces. The user's "Anti-Communist Formations of LIS" draft uses this format for all 107 of its notes; without this support, v2 was structurally incapable of running on real-world docx-derived inputs. src/cmos/parser.py: - Add NoteDefinition.original_prefix field so reassembly can round-trip the source's marker syntax (pandoc input → pandoc output, numbered input → numbered output) without consumers needing to know which format was matched. - Update find_notes() to populate original_prefix as "[^N]: ". - Add find_numbered_notes() targeting "[N] text" definitions. Marker must be all digits (rejects [Smith 2020], [foo], etc.); caret prefix is rejected (rejects pandoc-style cleanly). src/cmos/cli.py: - reformat_notes now auto-detects format: tries find_notes first, falls back to find_numbered_notes if no pandoc definitions found. Uses definition.original_prefix for reassembly so both formats round-trip correctly. tests/test_parser.py: - 11 new tests for find_numbered_notes covering: single/multiple definitions, multi-digit markers, line number recording, trailing whitespace stripping, ignoring pandoc/non-numeric markers, original prefix recording, and the actual Anti-Communist draft format. - 1 new test for find_notes original_prefix population. tests/test_cli.py: - 2 new tests for reformat_notes auto-detect: numbered input round- trips as numbered output, pandoc input still round-trips as pandoc. Total suite: 136/136 (was 123, +13 net new). v1 untouched, 96/96 v1 tests still passing. Real-draft validation: ran cmos format-notes against the 107-note Anti-Communist Formations of LIS draft (108 calls in parallel via the existing concurrency=8 thread pool, completed cleanly). Output saved to /tmp (not committed). All 107 notes preserved through the pipeline; ~30-40 first-occurrence full notes produced clean CMOS 18 note form; ~30 shortened-form refs correctly left unchanged; 2 real bugs surfaced for the next iteration (empty input → conver- sational reply, Ibid → empty string), plus several lower-priority issues (substantive note truncation, retry waste on shortened forms, lossy month dropping). Not addressed in this chunk per the "collect signal, don't fix" plan.
cmos — Chicago Manual of Style 18 bibliography reformatter
A Python tool that reformats the bibliography section of an English-language markdown draft to CMOS 18th edition, notes-and-bibliography form.
Accuracy-first, iterative, built with a karpathy/autoresearch-style dev loop.
See program.md for the goal specification and
/home/claudecode1/.claude/plans/pure-mixing-yao.md for the implementation plan.
