Provide a description of requested docs changes

The documentation states that the mode parameter of process_rules can take on two values (automatic or custom) when in fact if we want to use the parent-child we should also change this to hierarchical.

If I use all the other parameters correctly, such as doc_form assuming hierarchical_model and parent_mode assuming paragraph, the document is still not processed as parent/child but as general.

The process_rules function in the Dify codebase does indeed support a hierarchical mode. This mode is specifically configured within the getProcessRule function. When the hierarchical mode is selected, the function sets up a ProcessRule object that includes pre-processing rules, segmentation for parent chunks, and subchunk segmentation for child chunks. The configuration uses delimiters and maximum token lengths specified in parentChildConfig for both parent and child segments, and the parent_mode is determined by parentChildConfig.chunkForContext ^[1].

If you're experiencing issues with the hierarchical mode not functioning as expected, it might be worth checking the configuration of parentChildConfig and ensuring that all related parameters are correctly set. This includes verifying that doc_form is set to hierarchical_model and parent_mode is set to the desired value, such as paragraph. If these configurations are correct and the issue persists, it might be necessary to review the implementation details or any related modules that interact with process_rules.
