Hephaestus documentation goes all-in on Docusaurus

We just finished migrating the entire Hephaestus knowledge base from our legacy Sphinx site into Docusaurus. The new docs are faster to navigate, easier to contribute to, and — most importantly — perfectly aligned with the copy and flows you see in the product.

Highlights

  • Process-aware homepage. The landing page now uses the same hero copy, features, and storytelling as the production webapp.
  • Complete migration. All user, contributor, and admin guides from the Sphinx era live here with refreshed screenshots and cross-links.
  • Single source for diagrams. StarUML and Mermaid exports are stored under version control so architecture and ERD updates stay reproducible.
  • Better contributor ergonomics. Automated scripts point to the new ERD path and Storybook/Tailwind guidance documents the expected workflows.

We will continue to expand these docs alongside the webapp. If you spot something missing, open an issue or drop into the #hephaestus-docs channel on Slack.
