Gitea renders mermaid inline, so the flow/state/hierarchy/DAG diagrams
move to text-in-markdown: auto-layout (removes the manual overlap-prone
draw.io step), diffable source, no committed binaries, and a dark-text
theme so labels stay legible. Keep draw.io PNGs only for the two complex
bespoke diagrams (logical architecture, env2 topology) where pixel
control still wins. All 24 mermaid blocks validated by rendering.
Replace ASCII-art diagrams across the README and docs/ with editable
.drawio sources plus exported PNGs, so the diagrams render clearly in
rendered markdown and can be maintained/regenerated instead of being
hand-edited as fragile text art. Non-diagram blocks (code, folder
trees, UI wireframes) were left as text.
Captures the design decisions from the brainstorming session:
- OpcUaEndpointConfig POCO + validator + serializer in Commons
- Single source of truth: both UI and site runtime consume the model
- Typed nested JSON storage (camelCase), legacy flat-dict fallback
- Shared <OpcUaEndpointEditor> Blazor component used twice
- Custom protocol removed from dropdown; Protocol field hidden
- Validation timing on Save only; per-field red text via ValidationEntry
