Research direction

Read pkg/parser/schemas/main_workflow_schema.json and docs/src/content/docs/reference/frontmatter.md to understand the schema properties and the page's backticked name: references. Add a Go test that checks each top-level property is documented, with commented justification for any allowlisted exemptions. Done when the test passes for current fields and fails if an undocumented schema field is introduced.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

automation code-quality cookie improvement quick-win task-mining
Description

Nothing currently guards against the frontmatter reference page drifting from pkg/parser/schemas/main_workflow_schema.json — the audit that found 11 undocumented fields (see the companion docs issues from this same analysis) had to be done manually. Add a Go test that loads the top-level properties of main_workflow_schema.json and asserts each appears as a backticked `name:` reference in docs/src/content/docs/reference/frontmatter.md. Keep a small, justified allowlist for genuinely internal/deprecated fields (each allowlist entry needs a comment explaining why it's exempt).

Expected Impact

Prevents this exact gap from recurring: any future schema field added without a corresponding docs update fails CI immediately instead of silently drifting for months.

Suggested Agent

GitHub Copilot coding agent (Go test + parser package).

Estimated Effort

Medium (1-4 hours)
