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.
