docs: restructure ARCHITECTURE.md to C4 standard by Copilot · Pull Request #396 · Hack23/riksdagsmonitor

Copilot · 2026-02-20T18:13:50Z

ARCHITECTURE.md used custom §1–§9 sections instead of the C4 model hierarchy and lacked the Hack23 standard header, documentation map, and compliance footer present in other repo docs.

Changes

Only ARCHITECTURE.md modified (868 → 1555 lines).

Added

Hack23 standard header — centered logo, badges, metadata line (matches FLOWCHART.md format)
Architecture Documentation Map — table of all 15 architecture docs, current doc bolded
C4 System Context Diagram (Level 1) — Users → Riksdagsmonitor → CIA Platform, GitHub, AWS, Parliament
C4 Container Diagram (Level 2) — Static Website, Dashboards, News Engine, CI/CD Pipeline, CDN/S3
C4 Component Diagram (Level 3) — dashboard JS files, 14 HTML pages, utility scripts with dependencies
C4 Dynamic Diagram — 3 runtime scenarios: user request flow, CI/CD deploy flow, nightly news generation flow
Architecture Layers — 6 layers: Presentation, Data, Integration, Security, Monitoring, CI/CD
Key Design Patterns — Static Site Generation, Data Pipeline, Multi-Language, Progressive Enhancement, Content Generation, Dual Deployment
Document Control footer — document table + ISO 27001 / NIST CSF 2.0 / CIS Controls v8.1 badges

Reorganized (all existing content preserved)

Former §1–§12 content redistributed into the C4 hierarchy — existing Mermaid diagrams, tables, and MCP server integration details retained under their new structural homes.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>🏗️ ARCHITECTURE.md — Restructure to C4 Standard with Header, Doc Map, Context/Container/Component Views</issue_title>
<issue_description>## 📋 Issue Type
🏗️ Architecture Documentation

🎯 Objective

Restructure ARCHITECTURE.md to follow the C4 architecture model standard used in CIA and Black Trigram reference implementations. Add Hack23 standard header, Architecture Documentation Map, proper C4 hierarchy (Context → Container → Component → Dynamic), Architecture Layers, Design Patterns, and Document Control footer.

⚠️ Scope: This issue ONLY modifies ARCHITECTURE.md. No other files are touched. This enables parallel execution with other per-document issues.

📌 Supersedes: #381 (closed — restructured to avoid merge conflicts)

📊 Current State Analysis

File: ARCHITECTURE.md (868 lines, ~25KB)
Reference: CIA (~32KB) · Black Trigram (~96KB)

Current structure uses custom numbered sections (§1-§9) instead of C4 standard:

§1 System Overview → §2 Data Flow → §3 Components → §4 Security →
§5 Data → §6 Scalability → §7 Monitoring → §8 Tech Stack → §9 Deployment

🚀 Required Changes

1️⃣ Add Hack23 Standard Header

<p align="center">
  <img src="https://hack23.com/icon-192.png" alt="Hack23 Logo" width="192" height="192">
</p>

<h1 align="center">🏗️ Riksdagsmonitor — System Architecture</h1>

<p align="center">
  <strong>📐 C4 Architecture Model for Swedish Parliament Intelligence Platform</strong><br>
  <em>🏛️ Context, Container, Component & Dynamic Views</em>
</p>

2️⃣ Add Architecture Documentation Map

## 📚 Architecture Documentation Map — table with all 15 docs, current doc bolded.

3️⃣ Restructure to C4 Hierarchy

Reorganize existing content into proper C4 views:

## 🌐 C4 System Context Diagram (Level 1) — Users, riksdagsmonitor, external systems (CIA platform, Riksdag APIs, GitHub, AWS)
## 🏛️ C4 Container Diagram (Level 2) — Static site, dashboards (9 sections), news engine, CI/CD pipeline, data pipeline
## 🧩 C4 Component Diagram (Level 3) — Dashboard components (4 functional + 5 placeholder), news generator, data transformers, HTML utilities
## 🔄 C4 Dynamic Diagram — User request flow (CDN → S3 → HTML), CI/CD deployment flow, nightly news generation flow

4️⃣ Add Architecture Layers

## 📚 Architecture Layers:

🖥️ Presentation Layer — HTML5/CSS3, Chart.js, D3.js
📊 Data Layer — CSV data, JSON schemas, Papa Parse
🔌 Integration Layer — CIA platform, Riksdag MCP, GitHub API
🔒 Security Layer — CSP, SRI, SLSA attestations
📈 Monitoring Layer — GitHub Actions, CloudWatch
🚀 CI/CD Layer — GitHub Actions, Vite, HTMLHint, linkinator

5️⃣ Add Design Patterns

## 🏭 Key Design Patterns:

📄 Static Site Generation (no server-side code)
📊 Data Pipeline Pattern (CIA → CSV → Dashboard)
🌍 Multi-Language Pattern (14 separate HTML files)
🔒 Progressive Enhancement (CSS-first, JS optional)
📰 Content Generation Pattern (MCP → Article → Multi-lang)

6️⃣ Add Document Control Footer

Standard compliance badges.

Pull request overview

This pull request restructures ARCHITECTURE.md to follow the C4 architecture model standard, transforming it from a custom numbered section format (§1-§9) into the industry-standard C4 hierarchy (Context → Container → Component → Dynamic). The document expands from 868 to 1555 lines while preserving all existing content and adding comprehensive C4 diagrams, architecture layers, design patterns, and compliance documentation.

Changes:

Added Hack23 standard header with centered logo, badges, and metadata lines (matching FLOWCHART.md format)
Implemented complete C4 model hierarchy with Mermaid diagrams (System Context, Container, Component, and Dynamic views with 3 runtime scenarios)
Reorganized existing content into 6 architecture layers, 6 key design patterns, enhanced security integration, monitoring architecture, and expanded MCP server integration documentation

This cross-reference uses outdated section numbering (§5.3) that doesn't exist in the restructured C4 document. The new structure uses descriptive headings without numbered sections. Update this reference to match the actual section heading: "News Generation Architecture" or remove the section number notation.
