Description

📋 Issue Type

Documentation / Architecture Compliance

🎯 Objective

Enhance DATA_MODEL.md to include Hack23 standard header format, Architecture Documentation Map, and Mermaid ERD diagrams consistent with the level of detail seen in CIA and Black Trigram reference implementations. Additionally, ensure FLOWCHART.md and STATEDIAGRAM.md have adequate depth compared to reference implementations.

📊 Current State

DATA_MODEL.md (2,506 lines)

  • Good content depth — 19 CIA products, 7 entity types, 6 ERD diagrams, data schemas
  • Missing Hack23 standard header — No centered logo, badges, or metadata
  • Missing Architecture Documentation Map — No cross-reference table to other 14 docs
  • Missing Document Control footer — No compliance badges or review dates
  • ⚠️ Header starts with ## Executive Summary — should have standard format first

FLOWCHART.md (355 lines)

  • Has Hack23 standard header — Logo, badges, metadata present
  • Has Related Architecture Documentation section
  • ⚠️ Relatively short — 355 lines vs. comprehensive CIA/BT flowchart documents
  • ⚠️ 6 flowcharts present — Good coverage but could add error handling flows and security scanning detail flows

STATEDIAGRAM.md (1,143 lines)

  • Has Hack23 standard header
  • Has Related Architecture Documentation
  • Good depth — 10 comprehensive state diagrams
  • ⚠️ Missing Architecture Documentation Map table — Has list format instead of table

MINDMAP.md (474 lines)

  • Has Hack23 standard header
  • Has Related Architecture Documentation
  • 10 mindmaps covering all domains

SWOT.md (954 lines)

  • Has Hack23 standard header
  • Good depth — 8 strengths, 5 weaknesses, 7 opportunities, threats

🚀 Desired State

DATA_MODEL.md Priority Fixes:

  1. Add Hack23 standard header (centered logo, badges, metadata)
  2. Add Architecture Documentation Map table
  3. Add Document Control footer with compliance badges
  4. Add Purpose section after header

FLOWCHART.md Enhancement:

  1. Replace "Related Architecture Documentation" list with standardized Architecture Documentation Map table
  2. Consider adding: Error handling flow, Data validation flow, Dashboard rendering flow

STATEDIAGRAM.md Enhancement:

  1. Replace "Related Architecture Documentation" list with standardized Architecture Documentation Map table

📊 Reference Comparison

Document Lines Hack23 Header Doc Map Table Doc Control Footer Content Depth
DATA_MODEL.md 2,506 ✅ Good
FLOWCHART.md 355 ⚠️ List ⚠️ Adequate
STATEDIAGRAM.md 1,143 ⚠️ List ✅ Good
MINDMAP.md 474 ⚠️ List ✅ Good
SWOT.md 954 ⚠️ List ✅ Good

🔧 Implementation Approach

DATA_MODEL.md (Primary):

  1. Add standard Hack23 header with centered logo, badges, subtitle
  2. Add ## 🎯 Purpose section
  3. Add ## 📚 Architecture Documentation Map table
  4. Move existing content under proper structure
  5. Add Document Control footer with compliance badges

All 5 Current-State Docs:

  1. Standardize "Related Architecture Documentation" sections to use the Architecture Documentation Map table format (same table across all docs)

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • DATA_MODEL.md has Hack23 standard header (logo, badges, metadata)
  • DATA_MODEL.md has Architecture Documentation Map table
  • DATA_MODEL.md has Document Control footer
  • All 5 current-state docs use standardized Architecture Documentation Map table format
  • "Related Architecture Documentation" sections converted to table format where present
  • No content loss — all existing content preserved
  • All internal links valid
