This module defines the semantic relationships between pages and provides weighted connectivity scoring to replace binary orphan detection. Link Types: EXPLICIT: Human-authored markdown links text MENU: Navigation menu items (highest editorial intent) TAXONOMY: Shared tags/categories RELATED: Algorithm-computed related posts TOPICAL: Section hierarchy (parent _index.md → children) SEQUENTIAL: Next/prev navigation within sections Connectivity Levels: WELL_CONNECTED: Score >= 2.0 (no action needed) ADEQUATELY_LINKED: Score 1.0-2.0 (could improve) LIGHTLY_LINKED: Score 0.25-1.0 (should improve) ISOLATED: Score < 0.25 (needs attention) Example: >>> metrics = LinkMetrics(explicit=2, taxonomy=1, topical=1) >>> score = metrics.connectivity_score() >>> level = ConnectivityLevel.from_score(score) >>> print(f"Score: {score}, Level: {level.value}") Score: 3.5, Level: well_connected View source 4 Classes Classes LinkType Semantic relationship types between pages.

The type indicates the editorial intent and discoverability value of the relationship. Inherits from Enum Attributes Name Type Description EXPLICIT — Human-authored markdown links text in content MENU — Navigation menu item (deliberate prominence) TAXONOMY — Shared tags/categories (topic clustering) RELATED — Algorithm-computed related posts (automated) TOPICAL — Section hierarchy parent → child (topical context) SEQUENTIAL — Next/prev navigation within section (reading order) LinkMetrics dataclass Detailed link breakdown for a page.

Tracks the count of each link type pointing to a page, enabling weighted connectivity scoring. Attributes Name Type Description explicit int Count of explicit markdown links menu int Count of menu item references taxonomy int Count of shared taxonomy links related int Count of related post links topical int Count of section hierarchy links (parent → child) sequential int Count of next/prev navigation links Methods 6 connectivity_score Calculate weighted connectivity score. 1 float Caret Right def connectivity_score(self, weights: dict[LinkType, float] | None = None) -> float Calculate weighted connectivity score. Parameters 1 weights dict[LinkType, float] | None Optional custom weights. Defaults to DEFAULT_WEIGHTS. Returns float — Weighted sum of all link counts. Higher = better connected. total_links Total number of incoming links (unweighted). 0 int Caret Right def total_links(self) -> int Total number of incoming links (unweighted). Returns int has_human_links True if page has any human-authored links (explicit or menu). 0 bool Caret Right def has_human_links(self) -> bool True if page has any human-authored links (explicit or menu). Returns bool has_structural_links True if page has structural links (section/nav). 0 bool Caret Right def has_structural_links(self) -> bool True if page has structural links (section/nav). Returns bool has_any_links True if page has any incoming links. 0 bool Caret Right def has_any_links(self) -> bool True if page has any incoming links. Returns bool to_dict Convert to dictionary for serialization. 0 dict[str, int] Caret Right def to_dict(self) -> dict[str, int] Convert to dictionary for serialization. Returns dict[str, int] ConnectivityLevel Connectivity classification based on weighted score thresholds. Replaces binary orphan/not-orphan … 4 Caret Right Connectivity classification based on weighted score thresholds. Replaces binary orphan/not-orphan with nuanced levels that reveal opportunities for improvement. Levels (from best to worst): WELL_CONNECTED: Score >= 2.0 (no action needed) ADEQUATELY_LINKED: Score 1.0-2.0 (could improve) LIGHTLY_LINKED: Score 0.25-1.0 (should improve) ISOLATED: Score < 0.25 (needs attention) Inherits from Enum Methods 4 Tag emoji property Get emoji indicator for this level. str Caret Right def emoji(self) -> str Get emoji indicator for this level. Returns str Tag label property Get human-readable label for this level. str Caret Right def label(self) -> str Get human-readable label for this level. Returns str Tag description property Get description of what action is needed for this level. str Caret Right def description(self) -> str Get description of what action is needed for this level. Returns str from_score classmethod Classify a page based on its connectivity score. 2 ConnectivityLevel Caret Right def from_score(cls, score: float, thresholds: dict[str, float] | None = None) -> ConnectivityLevel Classify a page based on its connectivity score. Parameters 2 score float Weighted connectivity score from LinkMetrics thresholds dict[str, float] | None Optional custom thresholds. Defaults to DEFAULT_THRESHOLDS. Returns ConnectivityLevel — ConnectivityLevel classification ConnectivityReport dataclass Complete connectivity report for a site.

Attributes Name Type Description isolated list Pages with score < 0.25 lightly_linked list Pages with score 0.25-1.0 adequately_linked list Pages with score 1.0-2.0 well_connected list Pages with score >= 2.0 total_pages int Total number of pages analyzed avg_score float Average connectivity score across all pages Methods 3 get_distribution Get count distribution by level. 0 dict[str, int] Caret Right def get_distribution(self) -> dict[str, int] Get count distribution by level. Returns dict[str, int] get_percentages Get percentage distribution by level. 0 dict[str, float] Caret Right def get_percentages(self) -> dict[str, float] Get percentage distribution by level. Returns dict[str, float] to_dict Convert to dictionary for serialization. 0 dict Caret Right def to_dict(self) -> dict Convert to dictionary for serialization.
