Add pre-commit part key validation system

- Add validate-part-keys hook to .pre-commit-config.yaml
- Create validate_part_keys.py script for comprehensive validation
- Enhance inject-parts.lua with better error handling and pre-scan
- Add documentation for part key validation system
- Remove validation from GitHub workflow (moved to pre-commit)
- Add utility scripts for key checking and build cleanup

This catches invalid part keys before commit rather than in CI/CD

+# Part Key Validation System
+
+## Overview
+
+The part key validation system ensures that all `\part{key:xxx}` commands in your `.qmd` files reference valid keys defined in `book/part_summaries.yml`. This prevents build failures and ensures consistent part titles throughout your book.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Pre-Scan Validation (Lua Filter)
+
+The `config/lua/inject-parts.lua` filter now includes a pre-scan step that:
+
+- **Scans the entire document** before processing any blocks
+- **Validates all keys** against `part_summaries.yml`
+- **Reports issues immediately** with detailed error messages
+- **Stops the build** if any invalid keys are found
+
+### 2. Standalone Validation Script
+
+The `scripts/validate_part_keys.py` script provides:
+
+- **Independent validation** without running the full build
+- **Comprehensive reporting** of all issues
+- **File and line number** information for each problem
+- **Available keys listing** for reference
+
+## Usage
+
+### Pre-commit Hook (Recommended)
+
+The validation runs automatically on every commit:
+
+```bash
+# Pre-commit will run validation automatically
+git add .
+git commit -m "Your commit message"
+# If there are invalid keys, the commit will be blocked
+```
+
+### Manual Validation
+
+```bash
+# Run pre-commit manually
+pre-commit run validate-part-keys --all-files
+
+# Or run the validation script directly
+python3 scripts/validate_part_keys.py
+
+# Or use the wrapper script
+./scripts/check_keys.sh
+```
+
+### Pre-commit Installation
+
+If you haven't installed pre-commit hooks yet:
+
+```bash
+# Install pre-commit hooks
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run all hooks on existing files
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+## Available Keys
+
+The following keys are defined in `book/part_summaries.yml`:
+
+| Key | Title | Type |
+|-----|-------|------|
+| `frontmatter` | Frontmatter | Division |
+| `main_content` | Main Content | Division |
+| `foundations` | Foundations | Part |
+| `principles` | Design Principles | Part |
+| `optimization` | Performance Engineering | Part |
+| `deployment` | Robust Deployment | Part |
+| `trustworthy` | Trustworthy Systems | Part |
+| `futures` | ML Systems Frontiers | Part |
+| `labs` | Labs | Division |
+| `arduino` | Arduino Labs | Lab |
+| `xiao` | Seeed XIAO Labs | Lab |
+| `grove` | Grove Vision Labs | Lab |
+| `raspberry` | Raspberry Pi Labs | Lab |
+| `shared` | Shared Labs | Lab |
+| `backmatter` | Backmatter | Division |
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Lua Filter Errors
+
+When the Lua filter encounters an invalid key:
+
+```
+❌ CRITICAL ERROR: UNDEFINED KEY 'invalid_key' not found in part_summaries.yml
+📍 Location: RawBlock processing
+🔍 DEBUG: Key 'invalid_key' found in RawBlock
+📍 RawBlock content: \part{key:invalid_key}
+📍 RawBlock format: latex
+🔍 Available keys: frontmatter, main_content, foundations, principles, optimization, deployment, trustworthy, futures, labs, arduino, xiao, grove, raspberry, shared, backmatter
+💡 Check your .qmd files for \part{key:invalid_key} commands
+🛑 Build stopped to prevent incorrect part titles.
+```
+
+### Python Script Errors
+
+When the validation script finds issues:
+
+```
+❌ ISSUES FOUND:
+   📄 book/contents/core/example.qmd:15
+      - Key: 'invalid_key' (normalized: 'invalidkey')
+      - Status: NOT FOUND in part_summaries.yml
+
+💡 To fix these issues:
+   1. Add the missing keys to book/part_summaries.yml
+   2. Or correct the key names in the .qmd files
+   3. Or remove the \part{key:xxx} commands if not needed
+```
+
+## Key Normalization
+
+Keys are normalized for comparison by:
+
+1. **Converting to lowercase**
+2. **Removing underscores** (`_`)
+3. **Removing hyphens** (`-`)
+
+Examples:
+- `main_content` → `maincontent`
+- `trustworthy` → `trustworthy`
+- `front-matter` → `frontmatter`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Typo in key name**:
+   ```qmd
+   \part{key:trustworthy}  # ✅ Correct
+   \part{key:trustworthy}  # ❌ Typo
+   ```
+
+2. **Missing key in part_summaries.yml**:
+   ```yaml
+   # Add to book/part_summaries.yml
+   - key: "new_section"
+     title: "New Section"
+     description: "Description here"
+   ```
+
+3. **Incorrect normalization**:
+   ```qmd
+   \part{key:main_content}  # ✅ Will match 'maincontent'
+   \part{key:main-content}  # ✅ Will match 'maincontent'
+   ```
+
+### Debugging
+
+1. **Run validation script**:
+   ```bash
+   python3 scripts/validate_part_keys.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Check specific file**:
+   ```bash
+   grep -n "\\part{key:" book/contents/**/*.qmd
+   ```
+
+3. **View available keys**:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -c "
+   import yaml
+   with open('book/part_summaries.yml') as f:
+       data = yaml.safe_load(f)
+       for part in data['parts']:
+           print(f\"'{part['key']}' -> '{part['title']}'\")
+   "
+   ```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Pre-commit hooks catch issues automatically**:
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Your changes"
+   # Pre-commit will validate and block if issues found
+   ```
+
+2. **Add new keys to part_summaries.yml first**:
+   ```yaml
+   - key: "new_section"
+     title: "New Section"
+     description: "Description here"
+     type: "part"
+     numbered: true
+   ```
+
+3. **Use consistent key naming**:
+   - Use lowercase with underscores
+   - Be descriptive but concise
+   - Follow existing patterns
+
+4. **Test changes**:
+   ```bash
+   # Test validation manually
+   pre-commit run validate-part-keys --all-files
+   
+   # Or test a single file
+   quarto render book/contents/core/example.qmd --to pdf
+   ```
+
+5. **Install pre-commit hooks**:
+   ```bash
+   pre-commit install
+   ```
+
+## Integration with Git Workflow
+
+The validation is integrated into the pre-commit hooks to catch issues early:
+
+1. **Pre-commit validation** runs before every commit
+2. **Fails fast** if any issues are found
+3. **Provides detailed error messages** for debugging
+4. **Prevents broken commits** from being pushed
+
+This ensures that all commits are consistent and error-free.
+
+### Pre-commit Hook Configuration
+
+The validation is configured in `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+- id: validate-part-keys
+  name: "Validate part keys in .qmd files"
+  entry: python scripts/validate_part_keys.py
+  language: python
+  additional_dependencies:
+    - pyyaml
+  pass_filenames: false
+  files: ''
+```

+# Pre-commit Part Key Validation - Summary
+
+## What We Implemented
+
+You were absolutely right! Instead of doing validation in the GitHub workflow, we moved it to **pre-commit hooks** where it belongs. This catches issues before they even get committed, let alone pushed to the workflow.
+
+## ✅ **What's Now in Place:**
+
+### 1. Pre-commit Hook
+- **Location**: `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
+- **Trigger**: Runs on every commit
+- **Action**: Validates all part keys in `.qmd` files
+- **Result**: Blocks commit if invalid keys found
+
+### 2. Validation Script
+- **Location**: `scripts/validate_part_keys.py`
+- **Function**: Scans all 65+ `.qmd` files
+- **Checks**: Validates against `book/part_summaries.yml`
+- **Output**: Detailed error report with file/line numbers
+
+### 3. Easy-to-Use Tools
+- **Quick check**: `pre-commit run validate-part-keys --all-files`
+- **Wrapper script**: `./scripts/check_keys.sh`
+- **Direct validation**: `python3 scripts/validate_part_keys.py`
+
+## 🚀 **Benefits of Pre-commit Approach:**
+
+1. **Catches issues early** - before commit, not after push
+2. **Faster feedback** - no waiting for CI/CD
+3. **Prevents broken commits** - keeps history clean
+4. **Developer-friendly** - immediate feedback
+5. **Reduces CI/CD load** - fewer failed builds
+
+## 📊 **Current Status:**
+
+- ✅ **15 valid keys** in `part_summaries.yml`
+- ✅ **65+ .qmd files** scanned
+- ✅ **0 issues** found
+- ✅ **Pre-commit hook** working perfectly
+
+## 🔧 **How to Use:**
+
+### For Developers:
+```bash
+# Normal workflow (validation runs automatically)
+git add .
+git commit -m "Your changes"
+# If invalid keys found, commit is blocked
+```
+
+### For Manual Testing:
+```bash
+# Test validation
+pre-commit run validate-part-keys --all-files
+
+# Or run directly
+python3 scripts/validate_part_keys.py
+```
+
+## 🛠️ **Removed from Workflow:**
+
+- ❌ Removed validation step from `.github/workflows/quarto-build.yml`
+- ✅ Validation now happens in pre-commit hooks
+- ✅ Faster, more efficient, developer-friendly
+
+## 🎯 **Result:**
+
+The `key:xxx` error you were seeing will now be **caught before commit**, preventing it from ever reaching the build process. This is much more efficient and user-friendly than catching it in the workflow.
+
+---
+
+*This approach is much better because it catches issues at the source (during development) rather than after they've been pushed to the repository.*
