Improvements:
✅ Diagrams co-located with related documentation
✅ Master index with multiple navigation patterns
✅ Templates for consistent documentation
✅ Automation for maintenance
✅ All critical reference docs present (or stubbed)
✅ Clear standards and style guide
✅ CI/CD integration for quality

Document Count Progression

Current State (95/100)

Category	Document Count	Notes
Architecture	3	C1, C2, legacy architecture.md
Workflows	5	All core workflows complete
Guides	4	Setup and development
Reference	2	Infrastructure inventory, project structure
Project Management	6	Plans, tasklists, checkpoints
Research	1	Cloud-agnostic analysis
Security	2	Policies and advisories
Planning	5	Gap analysis, roadmap, critical path, etc.
Navigation	1	docs/README.md only
Standards	0	❌ No templates or style guides
Diagrams	4	❌ Separated from docs
Total	33

Target State (100/100)

Category	Document Count	Change	Notes
Architecture	3	=	Same docs, improved structure
Workflows	5	=	Same docs, diagrams extracted
Guides	6	+2	Add DEPLOYMENT, TROUBLESHOOTING
Reference	6	+4	Add API, DATABASE, REDIS, CONFIG
Project Management	6	=	No changes
Research	1	=	No changes
Security	2	=	No changes
Planning	5	=	No changes
Navigation	4	+3	Add INDEX, SITEMAP, QUICK-REFERENCE
Standards	7	+7	Templates (4), metadata, style, diagram standards
Diagrams	11	+7	Move 4 existing + extract 5 from workflows + 2 new
Automation	3	+3	Freshness, link checker, index generator
Total	59	+26	79% increase

Diagram Organization Comparison

Before: Scattered Diagrams

Location 1: diagrams/architecture/*.md (4 files)
  ❌ Far from related documentation
  ❌ Markdown extension (should be .mmd for Mermaid)

Location 2: Embedded in docs/workflows/*.md (5 diagrams)
  ❌ Not separately reusable
  ❌ Can't be exported without extracting

Location 3: None in docs/architecture/ (0 files)
  ❌ Architecture docs reference diagrams elsewhere

After: Co-Located and Organized

Location 1: docs/architecture/diagrams/*.mmd (4 files)
  ✅ Next to related architecture docs
  ✅ Proper .mmd extension
  ✅ Optional rendered/ subdirectory for exports

Location 2: docs/workflows/diagrams/*.mmd (5 files)
  ✅ Next to related workflow docs
  ✅ Separately reusable
  ✅ Easy to export and maintain

Location 3: docs/DIAGRAM-GALLERY.md (1 file)
  ✅ Central catalog of all diagrams
  ✅ Preview images and links
  ✅ Clear categorization

Cross-Reference Network (After Implementation)

Key:

Solid lines: Direct navigation links
Dashed lines: Cross-references between related docs
Red boxes: Master navigation documents
Green box: Diagram gallery

Link Count Increase:

Before: ~50 internal links
After: 100+ internal links (comprehensive cross-referencing)
