Componentized layout for Sphinx autodoc output

sphinx-ux-autodoc-layout

Componentized layout for Sphinx autodoc output. It preserves Sphinx's outer dl / dt / dd structure while rebuilding managed object-description entries into stable api-* components. The current shared layout covers Python API objects, pytest fixtures, Sphinx confval entries, docutils rst:* entries, and internal FastMCP mcp:tool prototypes used to validate future consolidation work.

The extension keeps header composition in a late doctree-resolved pass so badges, source links, and permalinks can be positioned independently without raw HTML mutation. Large signatures can fold into native multiline signature markup, and expanded folded signatures show annotations by default via api_signature_show_annotations.

For shared consumers, the public helper surface now includes:

• build_api_card_entry() for section-card consumers that need the same inner api-* shell without becoming desc entries
• build_api_summary_section() for summary/index wrappers such as config and fixture tables

Install

$ pip install sphinx-ux-autodoc-layout
