+# S04: Pipeline Compose-or-Create Logic
+
+**Stage 5 now detects existing technique pages by creator+category and branches to a compose path that merges new video content into them, with body_sections_format='v2' and TechniquePageVideo tracking on all pages.**
+
+## What Happened
+
+Two tasks delivered the compose-or-create pipeline logic and its test suite.
+
+T01 added `_build_compose_user_prompt()` and `_compose_into_existing()` helper functions to stages.py, then wired compose detection into the stage5_synthesis per-category loop. The detection query uses `creator_id + LOWER(topic_category)` for case-insensitive matching. When an existing page matches, the compose path loads its linked moments, builds an XML-tagged prompt with offset-indexed moment references, and calls the LLM with the stage5_compose.txt system prompt. If no match, the existing chunked synthesis path runs unchanged. All pages now get `body_sections_format='v2'` set unconditionally, and a `TechniquePageVideo` row is inserted via `pg_insert` with `on_conflict_do_nothing` for idempotency.
+
+T02 created 12 unit tests across 4 test classes: prompt construction (5 tests for XML structure, offset indices, empty existing moments, page JSON serialization, moment content), branching logic (3 tests using source-code assertions + focused mocks), format/tracking (3 tests for v2 flag, pg_insert usage, INSERT values), and case sensitivity (1 test verifying func.lower on both sides of the category comparison). All 12 pass.
+
+## Verification
+
+All slice-level verification checks pass:
+1. `PYTHONPATH=backend python -c "from pipeline.stages import _build_compose_user_prompt, _compose_into_existing; print('imports OK')"` → exit 0
+2. `grep -q 'body_sections_format' backend/pipeline/stages.py` → exit 0
+3. `grep -q 'TechniquePageVideo' backend/pipeline/stages.py` → exit 0
+4. `grep -q 'stage5_compose' backend/pipeline/stages.py` → exit 0
+5. `PYTHONPATH=backend python -m pytest backend/pipeline/test_compose_pipeline.py -v` → 12 passed in 1.50s
+
+## Requirements Advanced
+
+- R012 — Stage 5 now composes new video content into existing technique pages instead of overwriting, fulfilling the incremental update aspect of R012
+
+## Requirements Validated
+
+None.
+
+## New Requirements Surfaced
+
+None.
+
+## Requirements Invalidated or Re-scoped
+
+None.
+
+## Deviations
+
+Used `default=str` in `json.dumps()` for page serialization in `_build_compose_user_prompt()` to handle UUID/datetime fields — not in plan but necessary for robustness. T02 replaced integration-level branching tests with source-code structure assertions + focused unit tests due to session mock fragility.
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+None.
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+None.

+# S04: Pipeline Compose-or-Create Logic — UAT
+
+**Milestone:** M014
+**Written:** 2026-04-03T01:34:24.402Z
+
+## UAT: Pipeline Compose-or-Create Logic
+
+### Preconditions
+- PostgreSQL running with current schema (body_sections_format column on technique_pages, technique_page_videos table)
+- Stage 5 compose prompt file exists at expected path (stage5_compose.txt)
+- At least one creator with processed video data in the database
+
+### Test 1: Fresh synthesis (no existing page)
+**Steps:**
+1. Process a video for a creator+category combination that has no existing technique page
+2. Check the resulting technique_pages row
+
+**Expected:**
+- Standard synthesis path runs (no compose log message)
+- `body_sections_format = 'v2'` on the created page
+- `technique_page_videos` row exists linking the page to the source video
+
+### Test 2: Compose into existing page
+**Steps:**
+1. Process a second video by the same creator with moments in the same topic category as Test 1
+2. Check API logs for compose detection
+3. Query technique_pages for that creator+category
+
+**Expected:**
+- Log message: `Stage 5: Composing into existing page '<title>' (N existing moments + M new moments)`
+- Only one technique_pages row for that creator+category (not duplicated)
+- `technique_page_videos` has two rows: one for each video
+- Page content reflects merged content from both videos
+
+### Test 3: Case-insensitive category matching
+**Steps:**
+1. Create a technique page with topic_category = 'Sound Design'
+2. Process a new video whose moments are classified as 'sound design' (lowercase)
+
+**Expected:**
+- Compose path triggered (not a new page created)
+- Case difference does not cause duplicate pages
+
+### Test 4: Multiple matching pages warning
+**Steps:**
+1. Manually insert two technique pages for the same creator_id + topic_category
+2. Process a new video for that creator+category
+
+**Expected:**
+- WARNING log about multiple matching pages
+- Compose proceeds using the first match
+- No crash or error
+
+### Test 5: TechniquePageVideo idempotency
+**Steps:**
+1. Reprocess a video that already has a technique_page_videos row
+
+**Expected:**
+- No duplicate row inserted (on_conflict_do_nothing)
+- No error raised
+
+### Test 6: Unit test suite
+**Steps:**
+1. Run `PYTHONPATH=backend python -m pytest backend/pipeline/test_compose_pipeline.py -v`
+
+**Expected:**
+- 12 tests pass covering prompt XML structure, offset indices, empty existing moments, page JSON, moment content, compose branch detection, create fallback, LLM call wiring, v2 format, pg_insert usage, INSERT values, and func.lower matching

 # S05: Frontend — Nested Rendering, TOC, Citations
 
-**Goal:** Render format-2 pages with nested structure, TOC, and interactive citation superscripts. Backwards-compatible with format-1.
+**Goal:** Format-2 technique pages render with nested H2/H3 sections, a clickable Table of Contents, and citation markers that link to key moments. Format-1 pages render identically to before.
 **Demo:** After this: Format-2 page renders with TOC, nested sections, clickable citations. Format-1 pages unchanged.
 
 ## Tasks
+- [x] **T01: Added format-aware v2 body_sections rendering with nested TOC, citation anchor links, and subsection styles while preserving v1 dict rendering unchanged** — Update frontend TypeScript types to include body_sections_format and source_videos from S03. Build format-aware renderer in TechniquePage.tsx that detects v2 (list-of-objects) vs v1 (dict) body_sections and renders accordingly. V2 renderer: iterate BodySection[] → H2 with id slug + content paragraph + subsections (H3 + content). Per D024, sections with subsections have empty-string content — skip empty <p> tags. Create TableOfContents component that takes v2 sections and renders nested anchor list. Parse [N] and [N,M] citation markers in content strings and replace with <a> links to #km-{momentId}. Add all CSS (TOC styles, subsection styles, citation link superscript). Update snapshotToOverlay to pass through list-format body_sections.
+  - Estimate: 2h
+  - Files: frontend/src/api/public-client.ts, frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx, frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx, frontend/src/utils/citations.tsx, frontend/src/App.css
+  - Verify: cd frontend && npm run build
+- [ ] **T02: Deploy to ub01 and verify v1 backward compatibility** — Push changes to ub01, rebuild the web container, and verify that existing v1 technique pages render correctly with no regressions. Since no v2 pages exist in production yet (S04 hasn't populated any), v2 rendering is verified structurally via the TypeScript build. This task confirms the live deployment works.
+  - Estimate: 30m
+  - Files: frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx
+  - Verify: ssh ub01 'cd /vmPool/r/repos/xpltdco/chrysopedia && git pull && docker compose build chrysopedia-web-8096 && docker compose up -d chrysopedia-web-8096' && sleep 5 && curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://ub01:8096/

+# S05 Research: Frontend — Nested Rendering, TOC, Citations
+
+## Summary
+
+Straightforward frontend work. The v2 data model is well-defined (S01/S03), the existing TechniquePage component has clear seams for modification, and no new libraries are needed. The main work is: detect format version → render v2 sections with H2/H3 nesting → add a TOC → make `[N]` citation markers clickable links to key moments.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Light research — known patterns, established codebase. Three tasks: (1) update TypeScript types + build format-aware rendering, (2) add TOC component, (3) wire citation markers to key moment anchors. All in existing files plus one new component.
+
+## Implementation Landscape
+
+### Current State
+
+**TechniquePage.tsx** (~350 lines) fetches technique by slug, supports version switching, renders body_sections with `Object.entries()` treating it as `Record<string, unknown>` (v1 dict format). Falls back to JSON dump for non-string content. Already has hash-based scrolling for `#km-{id}` fragments on key moments.
+
+**public-client.ts** — `TechniquePageDetail` interface is missing `body_sections_format` and `source_videos` fields that S03 added to the backend schema. `body_sections` is typed as `Record<string, unknown> | null` — needs widening to `Record<string, unknown> | BodySectionV2[] | null`.
+
+**App.css** (~5000 lines) has `.technique-prose`, `.technique-prose__section`, `.technique-prose__section h2/p` styles. Dark theme with CSS custom properties. No existing TOC styles.
+
+### V2 Data Format
+
+From `backend/pipeline/schemas.py`:
+
+```
+BodySection:
+  heading: str        # H2
+  content: str        # prose (empty string if substance is in subsections — see D024)
+  subsections: list[BodySubSection]  # optional H3s
+
+BodySubSection:
+  heading: str        # H3
+  content: str        # prose
+```
+
+Citations are `[N]` markers in content strings where N is a 0-based index into the page's key_moments array. Multi-cite: `[N,M]`. Validated by `citation_utils.py`.
+
+### Format Detection
+
+Backend returns `body_sections_format: "v1"` (existing pages, dict) or `"v2"` (new pages, list of objects). The field has a server-side default of `"v1"` so all existing data works unchanged.
+
+### Key Anchors Already Exist
+
+Each key moment renders with `id={`km-${km.id}`}`. The `[N]` citation index maps to `technique.key_moments[N].id`. The scroll-to-hash pattern (`scrollIntoView`) is already implemented for `#km-` fragments.
+
+### What Needs to Change
+
+1. **Type updates** (`public-client.ts`):
+   - Add `body_sections_format: string` to `TechniquePageDetail`
+   - Add `source_videos` field (array of `{id, filename, added_at}`)
+   - Widen `body_sections` type to `Record<string, unknown> | unknown[] | null`
+
+2. **Format-aware rendering** (`TechniquePage.tsx`):
+   - Check `body_sections_format` — if `"v2"`, render list-of-objects; else existing dict logic
+   - V2 renderer: iterate sections → H2 heading + content paragraph + subsections (H3 + content)
+   - Per D024, sections with subsections have empty-string content — skip rendering empty `<p>`
+
+3. **TOC component** (new, e.g. `components/TableOfContents.tsx`):
+   - Takes v2 sections array, generates anchor IDs from headings (slugify)
+   - Renders nested list: H2 entries with indented H3 sub-entries
+   - Each item is an `<a href="#section-slug">` that smooth-scrolls
+   - Add `id` attributes to rendered H2/H3 elements for anchor targets
+   - Position: inside `.technique-columns__main`, above the prose, or as a sticky sidebar element
+
+4. **Citation rendering**:
+   - Parse `[N]` and `[N,M]` patterns in content strings
+   - Replace with `<a href="#km-{momentId}" class="citation-link">[N]</a>`
+   - Need the key_moments array to map index → moment ID
+   - Superscript styling for citation markers
+
+5. **CSS additions** (`App.css`):
+   - `.technique-toc` — TOC container, possibly sticky
+   - `.technique-toc__item`, `.technique-toc__sub-item` — nested list styles
+   - `.technique-prose__subsection` — H3 sections
+   - `.citation-link` — superscript, accent-colored, hover underline
+   - Section anchor scroll offset (account for sticky nav)
+
+### Slug Generation for Section IDs
+
+Need a simple `toSlug()` utility: lowercase, replace spaces/special chars with hyphens, strip duplicates. No existing utility in the codebase. Can be a 3-line function inline or in `utils/`.
+
+### Version Overlay Consideration
+
+The `snapshotToOverlay()` function extracts `body_sections` from historical versions. It currently casts to `Record<string, unknown>`. For v2 snapshots, it should pass through as-is (list). The format-aware renderer handles both — no change needed to overlay logic as long as the type is widened.
+
+### No External Dependencies
+
+All work uses React, standard DOM APIs, and existing CSS patterns. No new npm packages needed.
+
+## Verification Approach
+
+1. **Type check**: `npm run build` passes (no TypeScript errors)
+2. **V1 backward compat**: Existing technique pages render identically (format detection routes to old logic)
+3. **V2 rendering**: If any v2 pages exist in the DB (from S04 pipeline runs), they render with H2/H3 nesting
+4. **TOC**: TOC appears on v2 pages with clickable section links that scroll to the correct heading
+5. **Citations**: `[N]` markers render as clickable links that scroll to the matching key moment
+6. **Visual**: Browser verification on ub01:8096 for both v1 and v2 pages

+# T01: Implement v2 format-aware rendering, TOC, and citation links
+
+Update frontend TypeScript types to include body_sections_format and source_videos from S03. Build format-aware renderer in TechniquePage.tsx that detects v2 (list-of-objects) vs v1 (dict) body_sections and renders accordingly. V2 renderer: iterate BodySection[] → H2 with id slug + content paragraph + subsections (H3 + content). Per D024, sections with subsections have empty-string content — skip empty <p> tags. Create TableOfContents component that takes v2 sections and renders nested anchor list. Parse [N] and [N,M] citation markers in content strings and replace with <a> links to #km-{momentId}. Add all CSS (TOC styles, subsection styles, citation link superscript). Update snapshotToOverlay to pass through list-format body_sections.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- ``frontend/src/api/public-client.ts` — current TechniquePageDetail interface missing body_sections_format and source_videos`
+- ``frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — current v1-only body_sections renderer and snapshotToOverlay function`
+- ``frontend/src/App.css` — existing technique-prose styles to extend`
+
+## Expected Output
+
+- ``frontend/src/api/public-client.ts` — updated with BodySectionV2, BodySubSectionV2 interfaces, widened body_sections type, body_sections_format field, source_videos field`
+- ``frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — format-aware renderer (v1 dict vs v2 list), citation rendering in prose, TOC integration, updated snapshotToOverlay`
+- ``frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx` — new TOC component with nested anchor links and slug-based IDs`
+- ``frontend/src/utils/citations.tsx` — parseCitations function that converts [N] and [N,M] markers to React elements with anchor links`
+- ``frontend/src/App.css` — new styles for .technique-toc, .technique-prose__subsection, .citation-link, section scroll-margin-top`

+# T02: Deploy to ub01 and verify v1 backward compatibility
+
+Push changes to ub01, rebuild the web container, and verify that existing v1 technique pages render correctly with no regressions. Since no v2 pages exist in production yet (S04 hasn't populated any), v2 rendering is verified structurally via the TypeScript build. This task confirms the live deployment works.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- ``frontend/src/api/public-client.ts` — updated types from T01`
+- ``frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — updated renderer from T01`
+- ``frontend/src/components/TableOfContents.tsx` — new component from T01`
+- ``frontend/src/utils/citations.tsx` — new utility from T01`
+- ``frontend/src/App.css` — updated styles from T01`
+
+## Expected Output
+
+- ``frontend/src/pages/TechniquePage.tsx` — verified working in production (no changes, just deployment verification)`
+
+## Verification
+
+ssh ub01 'cd /vmPool/r/repos/xpltdco/chrysopedia && git pull && docker compose build chrysopedia-web-8096 && docker compose up -d chrysopedia-web-8096' && sleep 5 && curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://ub01:8096/
