2025-12-30: Documentation Overhaul & PM Setup

Task Metadata

  • 📆 Date: 2025-12-30
  • 🚥 Status: Status

1. Context

  • Goal: Establish a structured documentation system and a rigorous "Plan-First" workflow to ensure project longevity and quality.
  • Trigger: The need to organize scattered markdown files and define a clear process for future feature development.

2. Approach

  • Technical Strategy:

    • MkDocs: Use mkdocs with the material theme for a professional, searchable documentation site.
    • Structure: Reorganize docs/ into logical subdirectories (architecture, notes, project_management).
    • Workflow: Define a strict "Work Log" protocol requiring user approval before coding.
    • Tooling: Use uvx and Taskfile for zero-install documentation serving.
    • Linting: Enforce markdown quality with markdownlint-cli and husky pre-commit hooks.

  • Key Decisions:

    • Decision: Use uvx instead of adding mkdocs to package.json to keep the frontend dependencies clean.
    • Decision: Use shields.io badges for visual status tracking in the Project Management dashboard.

3. Impact Analysis

  • Files to Modify:
    • mkdocs.yml (New)
    • Taskfile.yml (Update)
    • GEMINI.md (Update context)
    • docs/**/* (Reorganization)
    • .husky/ (New)
  • Risks: None. Purely additive to the developer experience.

4. Execution Plan

  • Install and configure MkDocs Material.
  • Reorganize documentation folder structure.
  • Create Project Management index and Work Log template.
  • Implement Markdown Linting (markdownlint) and Pre-commit hooks (husky).
  • Verify live reload and build commands.

5. Execution Notes

  • Discovered MD013 (line length) issues in documentation; disabled this rule in .markdownlint.json.
  • Fixed H2/H3 hierarchy issues in spec.md.
  • Downgraded click to 8.2.1 to resolve MkDocs live-reload issues.

6. User Approval & Notes

  • Approved by User on 2025-12-30.
