Walkthrough

The documentation site now renders a clickable Mermaid architecture diagram. It shows the frontend, Rust backend, Python backend, and sync microservice with themed styling, navigation links, responsive behavior, and reduced-motion support.

Changes

Architecture documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mermaid rendering setup docs/javascripts/mermaid.mjs, mkdocs.yml	MkDocs now uses a Mermaid custom fence, loads the Mermaid JavaScript module, and includes the architecture diagram stylesheet. Mermaid initializes with manual startup and configured flowchart options.
Interactive architecture diagram docs/overview/architecture.md, docs/stylesheets/architecture-diagram.css	The Architecture page now defines clickable frontend, Rust backend, Python backend, and sync microservice nodes. CSS adds themed colors, node states, animated arrows, legend styling, responsive layout, and reduced-motion overrides.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aa3e6

Poem

A rabbit drew four services bright,
With arrows hopping left and right.
Mermaid wakes to shape the view,
Links guide every path anew.
Soft themes glow through day and night,
While mobile screens keep things in sight.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/overview/architecture.md`:
- Line 3: Scope a markdownlint MD033 disable directive around the architecture
diagram in the documentation: add it immediately before the
architecture-diagram-section div and re-enable MD033 immediately after the
diagram section, covering the div and span elements only.

In `@docs/stylesheets/architecture-diagram.css`:
- Line 19: Add a blank line before the margin declaration in the architecture
diagram stylesheet, separating it from the preceding custom-property
declarations so the declaration spacing rule passes.
