⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix table pipe spacing to satisfy markdownlint (MD060).

The tables use compact pipe spacing, triggering MD060 warnings. Add a space on both sides of each pipe to match the configured style.

In `@AUDIT-DOCUMENTATION.md` around lines 7 - 14, The markdown tables use compact
pipe spacing and trigger MD060; update each table so every pipe has a single
space on both sides (e.g., change "Category|Status|Notes" or "Category |Status|
Notes" to "Category | Status | Notes") across the document—apply this to the
shown header row "Category | Status | Notes" and all table rows/headers in the
other table blocks (the ones listed in the comment) so headers, separator rows
(---), and data rows consistently have a space before and after each pipe.

| **Data Flow** | ➖ Untested | No specific documentation on data flow was found. |
| **Component Diagram** | ❌ Missing | No visual representation of the system's components was found. |
| **Decision Records** | ❌ Missing | No Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) were found. |

## 4. Developer Documentation

| Category | Status | Notes |

## Documentation Gaps to Fill

Based on the audit, the following documentation gaps have been identified:

1. **Formal Changelog**: The `changelog` directory should be repurposed to maintain a formal changelog, documenting all changes, new features, and bug fixes for each release.

2. **User Guide**: A comprehensive user guide should be created to provide end-users with a clear understanding of the framework's features and how to use them.

3. **External Documentation**: The external documentation at `https-core-help` is inaccessible and should be reviewed to ensure it is up-to-date and publicly available.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Validate the external documentation reference (https-core-help).

This looks like a malformed or placeholder URL. Please confirm the correct location and update the audit to the real public URL or mark it as a TODO with a clear owner.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In `@AUDIT-DOCUMENTATION.md` at line 61, The audit references a malformed
placeholder "https-core-help" in AUDIT-DOCUMENTATION.md; update that entry by
replacing "https-core-help" with the actual public documentation URL (or, if the
URL is not yet available, replace the placeholder with a TODO line that clearly
states the missing public URL and assigns an owner/assignee and target date),
and ensure the updated line includes the exact link text so future reviewers can
verify accessibility.


4. **Architecture Diagram**: A visual representation of the system's architecture would be beneficial for new contributors and users.

5. **ADRs**: The project should adopt Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to document key architectural decisions and their rationale.
