# Visual Inspection Report - Documentation Sites

**Date:** 2025-12-31
**Inspector:** Expert Engineer (Claude Sonnet 4.5)
**Sites Inspected:** craft plugin, aiterm
**Focus:** Mermaid diagrams, markdown rendering, emoji shortcodes

---

## Executive Summary

Conducted systematic visual inspection of both craft and aiterm documentation sites. Identified **3 critical rendering issues** requiring immediate attention:

1. ✅ **RESOLVED:** Emoji shortcodes not rendering (craft site)
2. ❌ **CRITICAL:** Site Creation Workflow diagram - severe layout issues
3. ❌ **CRITICAL:** Git Worktree Workflow diagram - overlapping text and cramped layout

---

## Craft Plugin Site (http://127.0.0.1:8001/claude-plugins/craft/)

### ✅ Issues Resolved

#### 1. Emoji Shortcodes Not Rendering
**Status:** ✅ FIXED
**Location:** Homepage and throughout site
**Problem:** Emoji shortcodes (`:rocket:`, `:brain:`, `:sparkles:`, etc.) were displaying as literal text instead of emoji icons.

**Root Cause:**
- Missing `pymdownx.emoji` extension in `mkdocs.yml`
- Extension provides emoji shortcode-to-icon conversion

**Fix Applied:**
```yaml
# Added to mkdocs.yml markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
    emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji
    emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg
```

**Verification:**
- ✅ 🚀 69 Commands - rendering correctly
- ✅ 🧠 7 Specialized Agents - rendering correctly
- ✅ ✨ 17 Skills - rendering correctly
- ✅ ⚡ Smart Orchestration - rendering correctly
- ✅ 🎨 8 ADHD-Friendly Presets - rendering correctly
- ✅ 📚 Documentation Excellence - rendering correctly

**Build Status:** ✅ `mkdocs build --strict` passing

### ❌ Critical Issues Requiring Attention

#### 2. Site Creation Workflow Diagram - Severe Layout Issues
**Status:** ❌ CRITICAL
**Location:** `/WORKFLOWS/#site-creation-workflow`
**Severity:** High - diagram is nearly unreadable

**Problem Description:**
- Horizontal flowchart with severe text overlapping
- Nodes are too close together
- Labels are compressed and difficult to read
- Overall cramped appearance makes flow hard to follow

**Visual Evidence:**
```
[New project] → [craft:site:create] → [Choose preset]
                                      ↓
                                   [minimal]
                                   [craft:focus]
                                   [data-wise] → [Generate site files] → [craft:site:preview] → [Yes]
                                                                                                  ↓
                                                                          [Need changes?] ← [No] → [craft:site:deploy] → [Site live!]
```

**Current State:** Text overlapping, insufficient spacing between nodes

**Recommended Fixes:**
1. **Convert to vertical layout** (top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right)
2. **Increase node spacing** using mermaid config:
   ```yaml
   %%{init: {'theme':'base', 'themeVariables': { 'fontSize':'16px'}, 'flowchart':{'nodeSpacing':50, 'rankSpacing':80}}}%%
   ```
3. **Split into multiple sub-diagrams** if complexity remains
4. **Simplify labels** to reduce text length

**Impact:** Users cannot effectively understand the site creation workflow

---

#### 3. Git Worktree Workflow Diagram - Overlapping Text
**Status:** ❌ CRITICAL
**Location:** `/WORKFLOWS/#git-worktree-workflow`
**Severity:** High - multiple text overlaps

**Problem Description:**
- Complex multi-branch workflow rendered horizontally
- Three parallel workflow paths compressed into cramped space
- Text labels overlapping between rows
- Node borders touching or overlapping

**Visual Evidence:**
```
[Multiple features] → [craft:git:worktree add] → [feature-auth worktree]
                                                 [feature-api worktree]  → [Develop in parallel] → [Merge to main]
                                                 [bugfix worktree]
                    ↓                            ↓                        ↓                        ↓
              [craft:clean] ← [Worktrees cleaned]
```

**Current State:** Three rows of nodes with overlapping labels, arrows crossing

**Recommended Fixes:**
1. **Redesign as vertical swimlanes** for each parallel workflow
2. **Use subgraphs** to organize parallel features:
   ```mermaid
   flowchart TD
       subgraph Feature 1
           A1[Create worktree] → B1[Develop] → C1[Merge]
       end
       subgraph Feature 2
           A2[Create worktree] → B2[Develop] → C2[Merge]
       end
   ```
3. **Increase rank spacing** to separate rows
4. **Consider collapsing details** into a simpler overview diagram

**Impact:** Users cannot understand parallel worktree workflow

2. `/docs/ADHD-QUICK-START.md` (lines 58-62) - Converted plain checkmarks to markdown list

**Before:**
```markdown
across 5 categories:
- Visual Hierarchy...
```

**After:**
```markdown
across 5 categories:

- Visual Hierarchy...
```

## Technical Analysis

### Mermaid Diagram Layout Best Practices

**Observed Pattern:**
- ✅ **Vertical layouts** (TB/TD direction) render cleanly
- ❌ **Horizontal layouts** (LR direction) often cause overlap issues
- ❌ **Complex multi-path diagrams** need special spacing configuration

**Recommendations:**
1. **Default to vertical layout** (`flowchart TD`) for all new diagrams
2. **Use subgraphs** for parallel processes instead of side-by-side nodes
3. **Configure spacing** in complex diagrams:
   ```yaml
   %%{init: {'flowchart':{'nodeSpacing':60, 'rankSpacing':100}}}%%
   ```
4. **Limit diagram complexity** - consider splitting into multiple focused diagrams
5. **Test rendering** during creation, not after completion

### Browser Caching Issues

**Observation:** Aggressive caching prevented seeing updated emoji rendering initially

**Resolution:**
- Server restart required: `pkill -f "mkdocs serve.*8001" && mkdocs serve`
- Cache-busting parameter: `?nocache=<timestamp>`
- Hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R) insufficient in this case

**Recommendation:** After MkDocs configuration changes, always restart server

## Recommendations for Future

### Diagram Design Guidelines

1. **Always use vertical layouts** unless horizontal is absolutely necessary
2. **Test diagrams incrementally** - don't create entire complex diagram before testing
3. **Use subgraphs** for logical grouping and parallel processes
4. **Configure spacing** upfront for complex diagrams
5. **Keep diagrams focused** - split complex workflows into multiple diagrams
6. **Document diagram syntax** in comments for future maintainability

### Build Process Improvements

1. **Add pre-commit hook** to validate mermaid syntax
2. **Implement visual regression testing** for diagram rendering
3. **Create diagram library** with reusable spacing configs
4. **Document spacing values** that work well for different diagram types
