KaifAhmad1 9113ef3428 docs: premium overhaul of all reference pages and core docs
- Rewrote all 26 reference module pages: removed blockquote taglines and
  horizontal rule separators, added "What You Get" bullet summaries,
  added constructor/method parameter tables, expanded thin files
  (graph_store, triplet_store, visualization, provenance) with full API
  coverage, added backend comparison tables and real-world usage patterns
- Renamed Modules tab from "API Reference" and group from "Context &
  Knowledge" to "Context & Intelligence" in docs.json
- Fixed logo: copied "Semantica Logo.png" to web-safe semantica-logo.png
  and updated all 4 references in docs.json
- Improved core docs (index, modules, concepts, quickstart, installation,
  getting-started) with better fonts, bullet points, and complete module
  listings (mcp_server, evals, core, utils previously missing)
- Rewrote community pages (community, community-projects, contributing-guide,
  use-cases, architecture, faq, learning-more, glossary) with heading
  hierarchy fixes, expanded definitions, and better structure
- Fixed markdown linter warnings: MD036 bold-as-heading, MD001 heading
  skips, MD040 missing code fence language, MD032 blank lines around lists

cd semantica

pip install -e .         # core only
pip install -e ".[all]"  # all extras
pip install -e ".[dev]"  # dev tools (pytest, black, etc.)

Troubleshooting

ModuleNotFoundError

Make sure you're in the right environment:

pip list | grep semantica
pip install --upgrade semantica

Installation fails with dependency errors

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install build wheel
pip install semantica --no-deps  # install without optional deps first

GPU dependencies fail

Install CPU-only first, then add GPU support:

pip install semantica
pip install semantica[gpu]

Permission denied

pip install --user semantica  # or use a virtual environment

Windows [all] install fails

This was fixed in v0.5.0. Upgrade to the latest release:

pip install --upgrade semantica

Windows PyTorch DLL errors

Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. This is a Windows system dependency, not a Semantica bug.

Next Steps

Understand what Semantica does before you build. Follow the end-to-end workflow with code. See notebook examples organized by use case.
