Visual Documentation Index

Overview

This document provides a comprehensive index of all visual documentation diagrams for the Stellar Uzima healthcare blockchain system. Each diagram uses Mermaid.js syntax and can be rendered in any Markdown viewer that supports Mermaid.

Available Diagrams

0. Contract Interaction Diagrams

Purpose: Contract-to-contract interaction diagrams (data flow, call sequences, state machines, permission inheritance, and message flow).

Key Features:

  • Focused on on-chain contract wiring rather than UI/system overview
  • Cross-contract call and dependency visualization
  • Standard patterns for consent gating, audit logging, governance execution, and ZK gating

1. System Architecture Overview

Purpose: High-level system architecture showing all major components and their interactions.

Key Features:

  • Complete contract ecosystem visualization
  • User interface layer mapping
  • Security and compliance components
  • Cross-chain infrastructure
  • Storage and analytics layers
  • Governance framework

Maintenance Guidelines

Updating Diagrams

  1. Keep Synchronized: Update diagrams when contracts change
  2. Version Control: Track diagram versions with code changes
  3. Review Regularly: Ensure diagrams match current implementation
  4. Test Rendering: Verify diagrams render correctly in all viewers

Adding New Diagrams

  1. Follow Standards: Use established color and naming conventions
  2. Document Purpose: Clearly explain what the diagram shows
  3. Include Context: Show how new diagrams relate to existing ones
  4. Update Index: Add new diagrams to this index

Quality Assurance
