Documentation Workflow

Ownership

Documentation is owned by the Nexus-Docs role (registry: docs/agent_handoffs/DOCS_REGISTRY.md). The boundary is hard: docs changes never touch runtime code, and code owners never need to fix docs tooling. If documentation exposes a suspected code defect, it is recorded in the registry with subsystem attribution — the implementation stays untouched.

Information architecture

docs/            engineering documentation (markdown, this IA tree)
site/            GitHub Pages source (builds docs/ + translations into a static site)
scripts/docs/    validation tooling (check_docs.py, check_translations.py, build_site.py)
.github/workflows/docs.yml    docs CI + Pages deploy

Source of truth

• English is the source language; every other language is a translation

with status metadata (complete | partial | stale + source_revision).

• Version numbers and capability statuses are not duplicated: the site

build reads pyproject.toml; capability labels live in Project Status and Capability Matrix only. Drift is detected by check_docs.py.

Validation (local = CI, offline)

python scripts/docs/check_docs.py          # full doctor: links, anchors, translations, secrets, drift, build
python scripts/docs/check_translations.py  # coverage/staleness audit with numbers

CI runs the same checks on every docs-affecting PR — no noisy false positives, deterministic output, DOCS_HEALTH = PASS|FAIL verdict with actionable diagnostics.

Translating a page

1. Copy the English source into the target language tree.
2. Set front-matter lang and translation-status: complete|partial +

source-revision (the English page's identity).

1. Keep product/module names untranslated (Nexus, ScalpNet, OrderManager,

70D, MT5…); use the terminology glossary for everything else (terminology).

1. RTL languages (fa, ar): content flows RTL; code, CLI, paths, URLs stay

LTR — the site CSS handles this via [dir=rtl] rules; do not inline direction hacks.

1. Run check_translations.py before committing.
