Validation ChecklistPer CLAUDE.md documentation standards:
Example Content for architecture-workflows.md# Architecture Workflows
This document provides visual workflows showing how different components of the Ambient Code Platform interact.
**Audience:** New contributors trying to understand the system architecture
**Related:** [ADR-0001: Kubernetes Native Architecture](adr/0001-kubernetes-native-architecture.md)
## Overview
The Ambient Code Platform consists of four main components working together:
1. **Frontend** (Next.js) - User interface
2. **Backend API** (Go) - REST API and K8s resource management
3. **Operator** (Go) - Kubernetes controller
4. **Runner** (Python) - Claude Code execution
## Diagrams
### 1. High-Level System Architecture
Shows the complete system from user request to Claude execution. Use this to understand:
- Overall component relationships
- Data flow through the system
- Kubernetes resources involved
**Key takeaways:**
- Frontend communicates with Backend API only
- Backend creates Custom Resources (CRs)
- Operator watches CRs and spawns Jobs
- Runner pods execute Claude Code

The reviews mention mermaid...but I don't see the mermaid sources here? I don't think we even need pre-rendered png files, just have the mermaid in the markdown and it will get rendered when viewing by many clients. Also crucially, AI models can natively edit Mermaid to keep it up to date as the architecture changes, which is a lot harder with pre-rendered PNG files. |

Github's default markdown renderer renders mermaid. There's already mermaid in this repository, so you can see an example here: https://github.com/ambient-code/platform/blob/2be79d29fdde64619a3c5888036a7ab389dbb1a7/docs/diagrams/amber-workflow.md I don't think there's any advantage to pre-rendered PNGs. |

Claude Code ReviewSummaryThis PR adds comprehensive architecture workflow documentation with visual Mermaid diagrams. The contribution is excellent for new contributors and provides clear, accurate visual representations of how the system components interact. The diagrams correctly capture the Kubernetes-native architecture, authentication patterns, and component interactions. Issues by Severity🚫 Blocker IssuesNone - This PR is ready to merge. 🔴 Critical IssuesNone 🟡 Major Issues1. Documentation Standards Conflict Location: Entire PR structure Issue: CLAUDE.md Documentation Standards (line 992-997) state:
Why this matters: The project has established patterns to prevent documentation sprawl. This PR creates a new top-level doc when the content could potentially be integrated into existing architecture documentation. Counter-argument (why this might be acceptable):
Recommendation: Accept as-is, but note for future contributions that the project prefers updating existing docs first. 🔵 Minor Issues1. Inconsistent Diagram Formatting Location: Multiple sequence diagrams Issue: Some diagrams use proper Mermaid note syntax, others use inconsistent spacing/formatting. Example: Recommendation: Formatting is consistent enough. No action required. 2. Missing Multi-Repo Support in Diagrams Location: Diagram 1 (High-Level System Architecture) Issue: CLAUDE.md (lines 255-261) documents multi-repo support as a key feature:
Impact: Diagrams don't show this capability, which might confuse users trying to use multi-repo sessions. Recommendation: Consider adding a note or optional box showing "Multi-Repo Support (mainRepoIndex)" in future iterations. Not blocking. 3. Terminology: "Claude Code CLI" vs "Claude Code SDK" Location: Lines 27, 47, 253 Issue: Documentation uses "Claude Code CLI" in diagrams but actual runner uses "Claude Code SDK" (Python library). CLAUDE.md line 296 states:
Why this matters: May confuse developers looking at runner code vs. diagrams. Recommendation: Update diagram terminology from "Claude Code CLI" to "Claude Code SDK" for accuracy. Line 253 correctly uses "Claude Code SDK" but lines 27 and 47 use "ClaudeCLI" which is imprecise. Positive HighlightsArchitecture Accuracy ✅Diagram 2 (Backend Internal Interactions) correctly captures the critical security pattern documented in

Issues by Severity🚫 Blocker IssuesNone - This PR is ready to merge. 🔴 Critical IssuesNone - All critical aspects are properly addressed. 🟡 Major Issues1. Missing Security Context in DiagramsLocation: Section 5 (Operator <-> Runner Lifecycle) Issue: The diagram shows environment variable injection but doesn't explicitly call out the security-critical aspects mentioned in CLAUDE.md:
Suggestion: Add a note in the "Lifecycle Details" section: - **Security:** Job pods are created with restrictive SecurityContext (no privilege escalation, all capabilities dropped), and OwnerReferences ensure automatic cleanup when the session is deleted.Impact: Medium - Security patterns are documented elsewhere, but diagrams for new contributors should hint at these critical concerns. 2. WebSocket Path InconsistencyLocation: Section 3 (Backend <-> Runner Interaction), Line 103 Issue: The diagram shows Current: Verify: Check if the actual path is Impact: Medium - Could confuse developers trying to trace actual WebSocket connections. 🔵 Minor Issues1. Missing Multi-Repo Support ContextLocation: Section 1 (High-Level System Architecture) Issue: The diagrams don't mention the platform's multi-repo support capability, which is a key feature mentioned in CLAUDE.md. Suggestion: Add a note under "Workflow Explanation": 6. **Multi-Repo:** Sessions can operate on multiple repositories simultaneously, with `mainRepoIndex` specifying the working directory.Impact: Low - Feature is documented elsewhere, but architectural overview should mention it. 2. Interactive vs Batch Mode Not VisualizedLocation: All sections Issue: The documentation doesn't distinguish between interactive (long-running chat) and batch (single prompt) execution modes. Suggestion: Add a brief note in Section 6 (Runner Internal Execution Flow): **Execution Modes:**
- **Batch Mode** (default): Single prompt execution with timeout
- **Interactive Mode**: Long-running chat sessions using inbox/outbox files for user interactionImpact: Low - Helps clarify different session types. 3. Reference to wrapper.py Without ContextLocation: Section 3 (Details), Line 123 Issue: Mentions Suggestion: Add clarification: - **Communication:** The Runner container executes a wrapper script (`wrapper.py` in `components/runners/claude-code-runner/`) around the Claude Code SDK to establish a persistent WebSocket connection.Impact: Low - Minor clarity improvement. 4.
