Architecture Summary (3-5 sentences) + +The STACK website repository is a documentation-focused static site generator built with MkDocs and the Bootstrap theme. The architecture consists of markdown and HTML content in `website_files/` (108MB, 110+ files) that gets compiled into a static site and deployed via GitHub Actions to GitHub Pages on the `gh-pages` branch. Content is organized hierarchically with custom templates in `theme/` for specialized page types (case studies, projects), custom CSS styling, and JavaScript for interactive features. The site uses external CDN dependencies for MathJax (mathematical rendering) and Google Fonts/Maps, with MkDocs configuration in `mkdocs.yml` controlling the navigation structure and build process. Deployment is automated through a GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/deploy-mk-docs.yml`) that rebuilds and deploys the site on every push to the master branch. + +--- + +## B. Top 5 Issues to Fix (Priority + Short Rationale) + +### 1. **CRITICAL: Outdated GitHub Actions Checkout Version** +**Priority:** HIGH +**Files:** `.github/workflows/deploy-mk-docs.yml` (line 10) +**Issue:** Uses deprecated `actions/checkout@v2` which is no longer maintained +**Impact:** Security vulnerabilities, missing features, potential workflow failures +**Rationale:** GitHub has deprecated v2 and recommends v4. This is a simple upgrade with significant security benefits +**Fix:** Update to `actions/checkout@v4` and `actions/setup-python@v5` + +### 2. **CRITICAL: Missing Dependency Version Pinning** +**Priority:** HIGH +**Files:** `.github/workflows/deploy-mk-docs.yml` (lines 14-16) +**Issue:** Dependencies installed without version constraints (mkdocs-bootstrap, mkdocs-include-dir-to-nav, python-markdown-math) +**Impact:** Build reproducibility issues, potential breaking changes from upstream updates +**Rationale:** Unpinned dependencies can break the site unexpectedly when packages update +**Fix:** Create a `requirements.txt` file with pinned versions and update workflow to use it + +### 3. **MEDIUM: Broken Internal Links** +**Priority:** MEDIUM +**Files:** Multiple files across `website_files/` directory +**Issue:** Build warnings show numerous absolute links that should be relative (e.g., `/CaseStudies/` instead of `CaseStudies/index.md`), broken links to missing PDF files +**Impact:** Poor user experience, broken navigation, SEO issues +**Rationale:** Affects usability and link rot over time +**Examples:** +- `website_files/CaseStudies/2025/Mechlib.md` links to missing `References/STACK 2022 Kraska V2.pdf` +- `website_files/Events/2025-11-27-MeclibSeminar.md` links to missing PDF +- Multiple absolute links in `Community.md`, `Conference.md`, `Training_and_events.md` + +### 4. **MEDIUM: Missing Test Infrastructure** +**Priority:** MEDIUM +**Files:** None exist +**Issue:** No automated tests for link validation, accessibility, or build integrity +**Impact:** Manual testing burden, potential for undetected regressions +**Rationale:** A documentation site of this size needs automated validation +**Fix:** Add link checker, HTML validator, and accessibility tests + +### 5. **LOW-MEDIUM: Non-HTTPS External Resource** +**Priority:** LOW-MEDIUM +**Files:** `website_files/index.md` (references http://docs.stack-assessment.org) +**Issue:** Mixed content warning potential and insecure resource loading +**Impact:** Browser warnings, security concerns for users +**Rationale:** All external resources should use HTTPS +**Fix:** Update to HTTPS URLs where available + +--- + +## C. Documentation Gaps and Suggested README Additions + +### Current State +The README.md is comprehensive for basic usage but lacks several important aspects for contributors and maintainers. + +### Documentation Gaps Identified: + +1. **Missing Contributing Guidelines** + - No CONTRIBUTING.md file + - No pull request template + - No issue templates + - No code of conduct + +2. **Missing Development Setup Instructions** + - Python version requirements not specified + - No troubleshooting section for common setup issues + - No mention of development vs production builds + +3. **Missing CI/CD Documentation** + - No explanation of the GitHub Actions workflow + - No documentation on deployment process + - No rollback procedures + +4. **Missing Dependency Documentation** + - No requirements.txt or similar file + - No documentation of why specific versions are needed + - No upgrade path documentation + +5. **Missing Architecture Documentation** + - No diagram of site structure + - No explanation of custom templates + - No documentation of the plugin system + +### Suggested README Additions: + +```markdown +## Prerequisites + +- Python 3.8 or higher +- pip (Python package manager) +- Git + +## Quick Start for Contributors + +1.
