Mermaid Diagrams

Validate Mermaid diagrams render correctly before shipping. Open the HTML artifact in a browser and check every diagram visually — syntax errors show as broken renders, not error messages.

Common failure modes:

  • Unquoted labels with punctuation break the parse
  • Bare lowercase `end` collides with subgraph terminator
  • Node IDs starting with `o` or `x` after edge markers get misparsed
  • Custom fills without matching text color make labels unreadable

See `resources/mermaid-authoring.md` for the full authoring rules (quoting, line breaks, reserved words, themes).

Markdown Links

Check that relative links between pages resolve. When building a multi-page artifact or KB, broken cross-references silently rot — verify each link target exists before committing.
