Diagram Usage​

These diagrams can be rendered using Mermaid-compatible tools:

  • GitHub/GitLab Markdown (native support)
  • Mermaid Live editor: https://mermaid.live/
  • VS Code with Mermaid extension
  • Confluence with Mermaid macro

Key Insights from Diagrams​

  1. Architecture: Clear separation between working (internal) and failing (external) layers
  2. Request Flow: Shows exact point where headers are corrupted
  3. Fix Flow: Sequential dependencies between fixes
  4. Failure Analysis: Probability-weighted root causes
  5. Component Health: Visual status of each layer
  6. WebSocket Protocol: Critical headers that must be preserved
  7. Priority Matrix: Data-driven fix ordering
  8. Timeline: Realistic implementation schedule

Next Steps​

  1. Review diagrams with technical team
  2. Use architecture diagram in incident postmortem
  3. Include request flow in documentation
  4. Reference priority matrix for fix ordering
  5. Share timeline with stakeholders
