Slice 8: Documentation

Status

Not started

Objective

Make documentation accurate, non-duplicative, and sufficient for development, deployment, operation, and MVP acceptance.

Dependencies

• Slice 7 authoritative scope
• Final behavior and validation results from Slices 1 through 6
• Continuous documentation updates from every slice

In Scope

• Documentation ownership and consolidation
• Setup, architecture, schema, security, operations, user guidance, and release evidence
• Durable Codex and slice handoff state

Out of Scope

• Marketing content and documentation for unimplemented post-MVP features

Tasks

• Designate docs/ as the authoritative specification location.
• Remove, redirect, or clearly mark duplicate root documents.
• Update README prerequisites, commands, and documentation index.
• Reconcile requirements and architecture with Slice 7.
• Update schema docs and remove new deprecated action.responseMapping examples.
• Document active components, bindings, and visual configuration workflows.
• Document authentication, secret provisioning, and redaction.
• Document proxy policy and deployment configuration.
• Document SQLite backup, persistence, and recovery.
• Publish verified build, test, Docker, and release commands.
• Publish the final acceptance checklist and known limitations.
• Reconcile TASKS.md, CODEX.md, and all slice handoffs.

Acceptance Criteria

• A contributor can install, run, test, and understand the project from documentation.
• An operator can configure secrets and proxy policy without reading source.
• Schema and binding examples match validated runtime behavior.
• MVP behavior and future ideas are clearly separated.
• Duplicate authoritative documents no longer create ambiguity.
• Acceptance criteria cite verified commands and outcomes.

Validation

• Every documented command succeeds in the target environment.
• Internal links and paths are checked.
• Example JSON validates against the schema.
• Security guidance matches actual behavior.
• Task, Codex, and slice statuses agree.

Risks and Open Questions

• Documentation will drift without continuous updates.
• Duplicate removal must wait until links and replacements are verified.
• Security documentation must not include real secrets or unsafe examples.

Progress Log

No work recorded yet.

Handoff

• Last completed: Slice plan created.
• Next action: Inventory document ownership after the Slice 7 decision.
• Known blockers: Final reconciliation depends on completed behavior and validation evidence.
