Milestone
Description
Overview
Create visual diagrams to help developers understand Bushel's architecture and data flow.
Diagrams Needed
1. Data Flow Diagram
Show the complete sync process:
External APIs → Fetchers → Pipeline → Deduplication → CloudKit Records → Batch Upload
2. CloudKit Schema Relationships
Visualize record types and their references:
SwiftVersion ← XcodeVersion
↑ ↑
| |
└── RestoreImage
3. Component Architecture
Show how modules interact:
Commands (CLI) → SyncEngine → BushelCloudKitService → MistKit → CloudKit API
↓
DataSourcePipeline → Fetchers
4. MistKit Integration Pattern
Diagram showing:
- ServerToServerAuthManager setup
- CloudKitService initialization
- Record operations flow
- Batch processing pipeline
Format Options
- Mermaid diagrams (renderable in GitHub README)
- ASCII art (simple, no external tools needed)
- Draw.io/Excalidraw files (professional look)
- SVG files (high quality, scalable)
Benefits
- Helps visual learners understand the codebase
- Useful for blog post illustrations
- Makes onboarding easier for new developers
- Serves as reference for Celestra implementation
Example (Mermaid)

Placement
- Add to README.md
- Consider separate ARCHITECTURE.md
- Include in blog post draft
