# documentation - Functional Specification

**Version**: v1.2.3 | **Status**: Active | **Last Updated**: March 2026

## Purpose

The `documentation` module manages the project's documentation ecosystem. It handles Docusaurus website generation, documentation aggregation from source code, and quality validation.

## Design Principles

### Modularity

- **Separation of Concerns**: Generation (`generate_docs`), Aggregation (`aggregate_docs`), and Serving (`serve_static_site`) are distinct functions.
- **Docusaurus Core**: Leverages Docusaurus for website generation rather than custom static site logic.

### Internal Coherence

- **Unified Quality**: All documentation passes through `QualityAssessment` before deployment.
- **Consistent Structure**: `/docs/modules/` mirrors `src/codomyrmex/`.

## Functional Requirements

1. **Generation**: Extract API documentation from docstrings.
2. **Aggregation**: Collect module docs into the central website.
3. **Serving**: Provide development and production servers.
4. **Quality**: Enforce completeness, accuracy, and link validity.

## Interface Contracts

- `generate_docs(source_path, output_path, format)`: Create docs from code.
- `assess_site() -> dict`: Get quality metrics.
- `build_static_site()`: Compile production build.

## Navigation

- **Human Documentation**: [README.md](README.md)
- **Technical Documentation**: [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)

- **Parent**: [../SPEC.md](../SPEC.md)

## Detailed Architecture and Implementation

### Design Principles

1. **Strict Modularity**: Each component is isolated and communicates via well-defined APIs.
2. **Performance Optimization**: Implementation leverages lazy loading and intelligent caching to minimize resource overhead.
3. **Error Resilience**: Robust exception handling ensures system stability even under unexpected conditions.
4. **Extensibility**: The architecture is designed to accommodate future enhancements without breaking existing contracts.

### Technical Implementation

The codebase utilizes modern Python features (version 3.10+) to provide a clean, type-safe API. Interaction patterns are documented in the corresponding `AGENTS.md` and `SPEC.md` files, ensuring that both human developers and automated agents can effectively utilize these capabilities.

## Testing

```bash
uv run python -m pytest src/codomyrmex/tests/ -k documentation -v
```
