May 2026 (DB-GPT): Implemented automatic size-based chunking for oversized Markdown headers to enable scalable, chunked processing while preserving header metadata. Introduced a default size-based chunking behavior for markdown knowledge to stabilize RAG ingestion (Fixes #3030). This work improves handling of large documents, enhances retrieval-augmented generation, and strengthens the Markdown processing pipeline in eosphoros-ai/DB-GPT.
