# ssmdconvert

`ssmdconvert` is a deterministic, local ingestion library and CLI that converts common documents and EPUB books into valid SSMD 0.9. It supports combined document conversion and ordered, standalone SSMD chapters in directory or ZIP book bundles.

## SSMD ownership boundary

`ssmdconvert` owns source ingestion, canonical SSMD conversion, chapter identity,
`.ssmdbook` integrity, SSMD analysis/reporting, and safe write-back. A directory
`.ssmdbook/` is the editable canonical workspace; `.ssmdbook.zip` is an immutable
portable artifact.

Conceptually, the layers are:

```text
spokenform → ttsready → ssmdconvert
```

`spokenform` handles linguistic normalization; `ttsready` supplies generic
preparation and QA through its public Python API; `ssmdconvert` owns the SSMD
application semantics and user-facing workflows. `ssmdconvert` depends directly
on `ttsready`, not on `spokenform`. Reports, context, TXT projection, and speech
audit/annotate/freeze share one analysis pipeline. The `ttsready` CLI is not used
or re-exported.

## Install

```bash
python -m pip install ssmdconvert
```

The base install supports text, Markdown, HTML, EPUB, SSMD analysis, and speech
audit/annotation. `ttsready>=0.2,<0.3` is installed as a core dependency; only PDF
and DOCX adapters are optional:

```bash
python -m pip install "ssmdconvert[pdf]"
python -m pip install "ssmdconvert[docx]"
python -m pip install "ssmdconvert[all]"
```

Python 3.10 or newer is required. Conversion, analysis, and EPUB extraction run
locally. Speech preparation commands operate on SSMD and are separate from document
conversion.

## Convert a document

```bash
ssmdconvert convert manuscript.txt -o manuscript.ssmd
ssmdconvert convert novel.md -o novel.ssmd
ssmdconvert inspect manuscript.md --json
```

PDF and DOCX conversion require their corresponding optional extras. Writes are atomic, refuse existing destinations by default, and support `--force` to replace an existing output. The input file is never a valid output destination, even with `--force`.

Both `convert` and `book convert` accept `--sequence-fallback-mode spell|preserve`. New conversions default to `preserve`; `spell` remains available explicitly. The effective value is stored in standalone SSMD front matter, book manifest metadata, and each generated chapter. The writer default does not change how consumers interpret legacy files or bundles that omit the field.

Use `--metadata-file PATH` on either conversion command for nested SSMD metadata and bibliographic overrides from a UTF-8 YAML mapping. Source metadata is overridden by the file, explicit CLI values override the file, and the effective sequence fallback option is applied last.

```yaml
language: de-DE
voice_defaults:
  narrator:
    rate: slow
```

```bash
ssmdconvert convert manuscript.md -o manuscript.ssmd
ssmdconvert book convert novel.epub --language de-DE --metadata-file book-metadata.yaml -o novel.ssmdbook
```

## Convert an EPUB book

```bash
ssmdconvert book inspect novel.epub --json
ssmdconvert book convert novel.epub --chapters 2-20 -l de-DE -o selected.ssmdbook
ssmdconvert book convert novel.epub -o novel.ssmdbook.zip
ssmdconvert book validate novel.ssmdbook.zip --json
ssmdconvert book metadata novel.ssmdbook.zip
ssmdconvert book metadata novel.ssmdbook.zip --json
```

Chapter selectors use original 1-based source numbers. Selected chapters remain in source order. Use `--format directory` or `--format zip` when the output name does not end in `.ssmdbook` or `.ssmdbook.zip`. Bundle destinations are not overwritten unless `--force` is given; forced directory writes replace the complete prior directory rather than merging files.

Editing a referenced chapter makes the directory workspace dirty, but workspace loading returns the actual valid SSMD instead of failing on a stale hash. `book metadata` reports clean/dirty status and dirty chapter count. Use `book refresh` to update manifest digests and character counts explicitly; `book refresh --check` does not mutate and exits non-zero when dirty or invalid. `book pack` creates a strict ZIP from current valid workspace contents without changing the source manifest. The reserved `.readio/` directory is downstream local state: it is ignored by validation and never included in ZIP output.

```bash
ssmdconvert book refresh novel.ssmdbook --check
ssmdconvert book refresh novel.ssmdbook
ssmdconvert book pack novel.ssmdbook -o novel.ssmdbook.zip
```

Readio can consume the public `load_book_workspace()` API directly. Neither loading nor metadata inspection automatically refreshes the manifest or adds Readio-specific manifest fields.

## SSMD analysis and speech workflows

```bash
ssmdconvert report novel.ssmdbook.zip --chapters 2-20
ssmdconvert context novel.ssmdbook.zip chg:v1:0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
ssmdconvert txt novel.ssmdbook.zip -o prepared.txt
ssmdconvert speech audit novel.ssmdbook.zip --json
ssmdconvert speech annotate chapter.ssmd -o annotated.ssmd
ssmdconvert speech freeze novel.ssmdbook.zip -o frozen.ssmdbook.zip
```

Reports, context lookup, TXT projection, and speech audit/annotate/freeze use one
SSMD-aware analysis pipeline backed by the public `ttsready` Python API. Speech
write-back preserves visible text, requires a new destination by default, and
never modifies a directory workspace in place. Cache details, safe write policy,
all command options, and migration from the removed `ttsready` CLI are in the
[analysis workflow guide](docs/analysis-workflows.md).

## Python API

```python
from ssmdconvert import (
    convert,
    convert_content,
    BookWorkspace,
    WorkspaceChapterStatus,
    convert_book,
    inspect_book,
    load_book_bundle,
    load_book_workspace,
    refresh_book_workspace,
    validate_book_bundle,
    write_book_bundle,
)

result = convert("manuscript.md")
content = convert_content("# Notes\n\nRead this.", input_format="markdown", source_name="notes.md")
inspection = inspect_book("novel.epub")
book = convert_book(
    "novel.epub",
    chapters="2-20",
    language="de-DE",
    metadata_overrides={"voice_defaults": {"narrator": {"rate": "slow"}}},
)
write_book_bundle(book, "selected.ssmdbook", format="directory")
loaded = load_book_bundle("selected.ssmdbook")
workspace = load_book_workspace("novel.ssmdbook")
workspace_status: WorkspaceChapterStatus = workspace.chapters[0]
refreshed_workspace: BookWorkspace = refresh_book_workspace("novel.ssmdbook")
validate_book_bundle("selected.ssmdbook")
```

See the [documentation](docs/index.md) for supported inputs, CLI options, book models, and bundle validation details.
