Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the title-detection and title-proposal classification logic, then turn the listed first-line, preamble, first-sentence, prompt, and section-header examples into regression cases. Done means the proposed rules select useful titles and stop treating headings such as “Definition” or “Overview” as titles.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • special rule for first line
  • detect preamble when no first line, drop down to "first sentence" rules (e.g. if first sentence only contains a single phrase emphasized via bold or wiki-links, use that as title)
  • fall back to prompt (if prompt not long)
  • quote/elaborate prompt classification
