📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR consolidates and reorganizes documentation across the project to promote convenience wrapper scripts (wizard.sh, start.sh, restart.sh, stop.sh, status.sh) for common operations. Multiple documentation files were updated to reference these scripts, and several duplicate quickstart guides were removed in favor of centralized documentation.

Docs/getting-started.md, backends/advanced/Docs/quickstart.md, backends/advanced/SETUP_SCRIPTS.md
Removed comprehensive standalone guides totaling 1,620 lines; content consolidated elsewhere.
Convenience Scripts Introduction
Docs/init-system.md, Docs/ports-and-access.md, quickstart.md
Added new "Convenience Scripts (Recommended)" sections across multiple docs; replaced long uv run commands with wrapper script references; included collapsible details blocks showing full underlying commands.

trigger MD034; wrap these paths in inline code or place the whole snippet in a
fenced code block (e.g., mark with ```bash) so the commands are rendered as code

- Around line 502-507: The second line of the "Benefits of Distributed Setup:"

bullets (keep "Automatic Tailscale IP support (100.x.x.x) - no CORS

🔇 Additional comments (16)
Docs/features.md (1)

174-175: Wrapper script references look good.

The changes consistently promote ./wizard.sh and ./start.sh across both beginner and production use sections. This simplifies the documentation while maintaining clear guidance.

Also applies to: 218-219

config/README.md (1)

23-26: Clear presentation of wrapper script with direct command fallback.

The setup instructions properly show both the wrapper script (recommended) and the underlying uv run command, allowing users to understand what they're running while defaulting to simplicity.

README.md (2)

37-92: Project structure documentation is clear and comprehensive.

The ASCII diagram accurately represents the repository layout with good annotations for key components. The reference to *.sh wrapper scripts on line 60 aligns well with the documentation consolidation theme.


94-155: Quick Command Reference well-structured with good UX patterns.

The presentation of convenience scripts as the primary interface with expandable details showing underlying uv run commands is an excellent UX pattern. Users see the simple path first while still having access to full transparency. The explanation about what scripts wrap is particularly helpful. All referenced convenience scripts and Python modules exist and are properly configured.

Docs/init-system.md (4)

40-46: Clear introduction of convenience script pattern.

The section effectively establishes the wrapper script approach while preserving access to direct commands for advanced users. This pattern is well-executed across the file.


142-158: Excellent organization of convenience scripts section.

The scripts are presented with clear purpose statements, and the explanatory note at line 158 effectively sets user expectations about what the wrappers do.


160-188: Full command documentation is comprehensive and well-structured.

The collapsible section properly exposes the underlying commands with helpful variations (--all flag, service selection, --build option), giving power users the flexibility they need while keeping the convenience scripts prominent.


190-193: Clear guidance on when to use different service management approaches.

The distinction between restart (for .env changes) and stop + start (for code rebuilds) is accurate and helpful. Using convenience scripts in the guidance is consistent with the file's theme.

Docs/ports-and-access.md (3)

10-14: Well-simplified quick-start flow using convenience scripts only.

For a user journey document, showing only the wrapper scripts is the right choice. This keeps the critical path clear without overwhelming new users with alternatives.


94-109: Consistent and clear presentation of convenience scripts.

The section mirrors the equivalent in init-system.md with identical descriptions and placement logic. The explanatory note properly sets expectations.


111-134: Comprehensive full command reference with proper service selection examples.

The collapsible section provides the detailed commands equivalent to the convenience scripts while correctly showing service selection variations only where appropriate (e.g., --build only in start, not restart).

quickstart.md (4)

148-157: Excellent convenience script introduction with comprehensive wrapper explanation.

Line 157's note is particularly valuable in a quickstart context—it explains not just the scripts but also what they wrap, helping users understand the documentation structure and locate full commands if needed.


201-208: Consistent convenience script pattern in service startup.

The "Option 1" / "Option 2" structure effectively emphasizes the recommended path while respecting power users who need the direct command.


295-305: Excellent integration of convenience scripts into troubleshooting guidance.

The pattern of showing convenience scripts first with full commands available in a separate subsection is particularly effective for troubleshooting—users can try the quick fix immediately, then access full details if needed.


150-157: Exceptional consistency across all three documentation files.

Comparing command formats, script names, and descriptions across init-system.md, ports-and-access.md, and quickstart.md shows excellent coordination. All three files consistently present:

  • Identical convenience script names and descriptions
  • Identical command formats and flags
  • Same pattern: convenience scripts prominently, full commands in accessible reference sections
  • Appropriate adaptation of detail level per document type (quickstart is simplified, init-system is comprehensive, ports-and-access is focused)

This consistency makes the documentation easier to maintain and trust.

Also applies to: 148-208, 295-305

CLAUDE.md (1)

385-431: Well-structured documentation for audio file upload API.

The new "Add Existing Data" section clearly explains the file upload workflow with practical curl examples for both single and batch file processing. The JSON response example is informative and matches the data structure well.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Format shell script paths consistently to avoid bare URL linting warnings.

Lines 30-31 trigger MD034 (no-bare-urls) because ./wizard.sh appears without markdown formatting. Consider using inline code formatting to fix this.

🔧 Proposed fix for markdown formatting
 ### Quick Start
-```bash
+```bash
-# Run the interactive setup wizard from project root (recommended)
-./wizard.sh
+# Run the interactive setup wizard from project root (recommended)

Fix broken documentation link and consider path consistency.

The path /Docs/memory-configuration-guide.md on line 107 is incorrect—the file is actually located at backends/advanced/Docs/memory-configuration-guide.md. Additionally, since config/README.md is in a subdirectory, consider using relative paths (e.g., ../quickstart.md, ../CLAUDE.md) for better portability, or update all paths to correctly reflect the repository structure.
