SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maintains data integrity when removing dictionary entries by ensuring updated indexes and cross-references, and providing a safe rollback path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-reference-aware deletion: updates or removes references in related entries to prevent broken links.
  • Index synchronization: adjusts entries_index.json and candidate_words.json to reflect deletions.
  • Audit trail and safety: records deletion rationale and requires a pre-deletion checklist to avoid accidental removal.
  • End-to-end workflow: supports validation, rebuilds, and site consistency after removal.

Quick Start

Follow the pre-deletion checklist, then delete the target entry and run the validation pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delete a dictionary entry without breaking cross-references and indexes?▼

To safely delete a dictionary entry without breaking cross-references, a pre-deletion checklist enforces cross-reference updates and index synchronization across entries_index.json and candidate_words.json to maintain searchable data integrity.

What happens to index files when removing dictionary entries?▼

When removing dictionary entries, index synchronization automatically adjusts entries_index.json and candidate_words.json to reflect the deletions, ensuring all related indexes remain consistent and searchable after the entry is removed.

Can I roll back a dictionary deletion if I make a mistake?▼

Dictionary deletion provides a safe rollback path by recording deletion rationale and enforcing a pre-deletion checklist, ensuring accidental removals can be identified and reversed while maintaining audit trail safety.

What's the best way to handle duplicate or erroneous dictionary entries?▼

Handling duplicate or erroneous dictionary entries requires a deletion workflow that applies cross-reference updates, index synchronization, candidate handling, and post-deletion validation to guarantee consistent, searchable dictionary output.

Do I need to run validation after deleting dictionary entries?▼

Post-deletion validation is required after deleting dictionary entries to ensure site consistency, verify cross-reference updates, and confirm that index synchronization completed successfully across all related references.

When should I not use automated dictionary entry deletion?▼

You should not use automated dictionary entry deletion when entries lack clear deletion rationale, as the pre-deletion checklist requires documented reasoning to prevent accidental removal of valid entries with active cross-references.
