Active Context

Current Work Focus

1. Documentation Generation Testing: Testing the documentation generation process with the MainWP Dashboard and Child repositories.

2. Configuration Refinement: Refining phpDocumentor configuration files to address issues and optimize output.

3. Custom Content Development: Enhancing the custom home page and navigation for the documentation.

4. GitHub Actions Workflow Design: Planning the automated workflows that will monitor source repositories and trigger documentation updates.

5. Error Handling Implementation: Developing robust error handling and logging for the documentation generation process.

Recent Changes

1. Repository Integration: Cloned the MainWP Dashboard and Child repositories into the sources directory.

2. phpDocumentor Configuration Fix: Fixed the phpDocumentor configuration to correctly locate dependencies by modifying the reflection.yaml file.

3. Guides Feature Adjustment: Disabled the guides feature in phpDocumentor configuration as it was causing errors and the source repositories don't have guides documentation.

4. Documentation Generation Success: Successfully generated documentation for both MainWP Dashboard and Child repositories.

5. Custom Home Page: Created a custom home page (index.html) with navigation to the generated documentation.

6. Directory Structure Verification: Confirmed the directory structure is working correctly with source-code/dashboard and source-code/child for the generated documentation.

Next Steps

1. Implement GitHub Actions Workflows: Create the workflow files that will automate the documentation generation and deployment process.

2. Set Up GitHub Pages: Configure GitHub Pages for hosting the generated documentation.

3. Enhance Error Handling: Improve error handling and logging for the automated process.

4. Develop Additional Documentation Sections: Plan and implement REST API documentation and hooks reference sections.

5. Optimize Documentation Generation: Address warnings and errors in the documentation generation process, such as the PlantUML diagram generation and file name length issues.

6. Create Implementation and Maintenance Documentation: Provide step-by-step instructions for implementation and maintenance of the documentation system.

7. Explore Custom Templates: Investigate custom phpDocumentor templates for better integration with the MainWP brand.

Active Decisions and Considerations

1. Path Configuration: Resolved issues with phpDocumentor's internal path configuration by modifying the reflection.yaml file to correctly locate dependencies.

2. Documentation Completeness: The quality of generated documentation depends on the completeness of PHPDoc comments in the source code. Some areas may need manual enhancement.

3. Error Handling Strategy: Need to decide on the best approach for handling and reporting errors in the documentation generation process.

4. Update Frequency: Determining how often the documentation should be regenerated - on every commit, daily, or on specific events.

5. Performance Optimization: The documentation generation process takes about 20-30 seconds for each repository. This is acceptable for local development but may need optimization for automated workflows.

6. Diagram Generation: The class diagram generation is failing due to missing PlantUML binary. Need to decide whether to install PlantUML or disable diagram generation.

7. File Name Length Issues: Some files in the Child repository have very long names that cause warnings. May need to implement a solution to handle these cases.
