Metadata Dimensions on StructureEntry

Summary

Add three semantic metadata fields to the StructureEntry interface: metaType, metaRank, and sentimentMap. The identity transform reads these from rune configs and emits data-meta-type, data-meta-rank, and data-meta-sentiment attributes on generated badge elements. This is the foundation that enables themes to style every metadata badge generically with ~18 CSS rules.

Acceptance Criteria

  • StructureEntry in packages/transform/src/types.ts gains metaType, metaRank, and sentimentMap optional fields
  • Identity transform engine emits data-meta-type when metaType is present on a structure entry child
  • Identity transform engine emits data-meta-rank when metaRank is present
  • Identity transform engine resolves sentiment by looking up the current modifier value in sentimentMap, emitting data-meta-sentiment when a match exists
  • Existing structure entries without metadata fields continue to work unchanged (backwards compatible)
  • refrakt inspect output shows the new data attributes on badge elements
  • Unit tests in packages/transform/test/ verify metadata attribute emission for: status with sentiment, category without sentiment, temporal, quantity, tag, and id types

Approach

  1. Extend StructureEntry interface in packages/transform/src/types.ts with the three optional fields
  2. In packages/transform/src/engine.ts, in the code path that processes structure entry children, add logic to: read metaType and emit data-meta-type, read metaRank and emit data-meta-rank, look up the current modifier value in sentimentMap and emit data-meta-sentiment if found
  3. The existing data-{modifier-name} attributes continue to be emitted as before — metadata attributes are additive
