Research direction

Start by locating the README files and their embedded image assets, then review the linked GitHub and Mermaid documentation for supported Markdown syntax. Convert each representable README diagram while preserving or updating its relationships, and verify the rendered diagrams and repository status before considering the work done.

Description

Documentation

Update README Diagram with MermaidJS Diagram

Background

README diagrams are currently embedded as static image assets. Replacing them with Mermaid diagrams will make them easier to maintain, review, and update directly in Markdown. Mermaid diagrams also render natively on GitHub, reducing the need to manage separate image files and keeping documentation changes closer to the source.

Existing Behavior

Acceptance Criteria

  • All README diagrams that can be represented in Mermaid are converted from image assets to Mermaid syntax.
  • Existing diagram content and relationships are preserved or updated to the current repo status
