docs: standardize documentation structure (#8)

* docs: standardize documentation structure (Phase 1)

Implement Phase 1 of documentation standardization plan:

**New Documentation Structure:**
- docs/README.md - Documentation hub with quick links
- docs/getting-started/ - Installation, prerequisites, quick-start
- docs/deployment/ - Kubernetes, Helm, production guides
- docs/architecture/ - Overview, data-flow, design-decisions, ADR template
- docs/troubleshooting/ - Quick diagnosis, common issues, RBAC, network
- docs/development/ - Testing guide (moved from docs/TESTING.md)

**Granular Breakdown:**
- Split DEPLOYMENT.md → installation.md, kubernetes.md, helm.md, production.md
- Split ARCHITECTURE.md → overview.md, data-flow.md, design-decisions.md
- Split TROUBLESHOOTING.md → README.md, common-issues.md, rbac-issues.md, network-problems.md

**New Content:**
- Quick Start guide (5-minute setup)
- Prerequisites checklist
- Production deployment best practices
- ADR template and index
- Quick diagnosis table

**Updated:**
- README.md now links to new documentation structure
- All documentation cross-referenced with relative links

Implements standardization plan from docs/DOCUMENTATION_STANDARDIZATION_PLAN.md

# ADR-001: Use React Context for State Management
**Status:** Accepted
**Date:** 2026-02-12
**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
## Context
The Headlamp Polaris Plugin needs to fetch Polaris audit data once and share it across multiple components:
- Dashboard view (cluster overview)
- Namespaces list view
- Namespace detail view (drawer)
- Inline audit sections on resource detail pages
- App bar score badge
Multiple state management approaches are available: Redux, Zustand, Jotai, Recoil, React Context (built-in), or component props with prop drilling.
**Constraints:**
- Headlamp plugin environment does not allow adding external dependencies (peer dependencies only)
- Redux, Zustand, Jotai, Recoil are not available in the plugin runtime
- Plugin must work with Headlamp's existing React context (React 17+)
- Bundle size should remain small (<50 KB)
**Requirements:**
- Share `AuditData` object across all views without duplicate API calls
- Support auto-refresh on user-configurable interval (1-30 minutes)
- Handle loading and error states consistently
- Minimal re-renders (data updates infrequently)
## Decision
Use **React Context API** (built-in, no dependencies) for shared state management.
**Implementation:**
- `PolarisDataProvider` wraps all plugin routes
- `usePolarisDataContext()` hook provides `{ data, loading, error, refresh }` to consumers
- Single fetch shared across all views
- Auto-refresh via `useEffect` + interval timer
## Consequences
### Positive
-**No additional dependencies** - Plugins cannot add external libraries (Headlamp constraint)
-**Simple implementation** - Single AuditData object, read-only, no complex mutations
-**Built into React** - No learning curve, well-documented, stable API
-**Small bundle impact** - 0 KB additional (built-in feature)
-**Works with Headlamp** - Compatible with Headlamp's React version and plugin system
-**TypeScript support** - Full type safety with `React.createContext<T>()`
### Negative
-**Less powerful for complex state** - No built-in middleware, time-travel debugging, or DevTools
-**Potential for unnecessary re-renders** - All consumers re-render on context update
- **Mitigated by:** Data updates every 5-30 minutes (low frequency), memoization not needed
-**No built-in async handling** - Must implement loading/error states manually
- **Mitigated by:** Simple `useState` + `useEffect` pattern sufficient
### Neutral
- Performance is excellent for this use case (infrequent updates, small consumer count)
- Context providers work well for read-only or mostly-read state
- Standard React pattern, familiar to contributors
## Alternatives Considered
### Option 1: Redux
**Pros:**
- Powerful state management with middleware
- Excellent DevTools for debugging
- Time-travel debugging
- Well-established patterns
**Cons:**
- Redux is not available as a peer dependency in Headlamp plugins
- Massive overkill for single AuditData object
- Adds significant bundle size (~10-15 KB)
- Requires additional boilerplate (actions, reducers, store)
**Decision:** Rejected (dependency not available, too heavy)
### Option 2: Zustand
**Pros:**
- Lightweight (~1 KB)
- Simple API similar to `useState`
- No provider boilerplate
**Cons:**
- External peer dependency (not available in plugin runtime)
- Still adds bundle size
- Unnecessary for read-only state
**Decision:** Rejected (dependency not available)
### Option 3: Component Props (Prop Drilling)
**Pros:**
- No dependencies
- Explicit data flow
- TypeScript tracks prop types
**Cons:**
- Prop drilling through 5+ component layers (index.tsx → route → view → subcomponent)
- Duplicate fetches if not carefully managed
- Refactoring nightmare if component tree changes
- Each route would need its own fetch logic
**Decision:** Rejected (poor code organization, maintenance burden)
### Option 4: Global Variable / Module State
**Pros:**
- Simple to implement
- No React dependencies
**Cons:**
- No reactivity (components don't re-render on data change)
- No built-in loading/error handling
- Breaks React's declarative model
- Testing difficulties (global mutable state)
**Decision:** Rejected (not idiomatic React, no reactivity)
## Implementation Details
**Context Definition:**
```typescript
interface PolarisDataContextValue {
data: AuditData | null;
loading: boolean;
error: string | null;
refresh: () => void;
}
const PolarisDataContext = React.createContext<PolarisDataContextValue | undefined>(undefined);
```
**Provider Implementation:**
```typescript
export function PolarisDataProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const [data, setData] = useState<AuditData | null>(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);
const [refreshKey, setRefreshKey] = useState(0);
const refresh = useCallback(() => {
setRefreshKey(k => k + 1);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
// Fetch logic here
// Auto-refresh on interval
}, [refreshKey]);
return (
<PolarisDataContext.Provider value={{ data, loading, error, refresh }}>
{children}
</PolarisDataContext.Provider>
);
}
```
**Consumer Hook:**
```typescript
export function usePolarisDataContext() {
const context = useContext(PolarisDataContext);
if (!context) {
throw new Error('usePolarisDataContext must be used within PolarisDataProvider');
}
return context;
}
```
## Validation Criteria
**Success Metrics:**
- ✅ All views share single fetch (verified via network tab - one request per refresh)
- ✅ No duplicate API calls (verified via Kubernetes audit logs)
- ✅ Auto-refresh works correctly (5-30 minute intervals)
- ✅ Loading states consistent across views
- ✅ Error handling consistent across views
- ✅ Bundle size remains <50 KB (currently ~27 KB)
**Tested Scenarios:**
- ✅ Initial load with loading spinner
- ✅ Error handling (403, 404, network errors)
- ✅ Manual refresh via button
- ✅ Auto-refresh interval (configurable via settings)
- ✅ Multiple views consuming same data (no duplicate fetches)
- ✅ Navigation between routes (data persists)

# Architecture Decision Records
This directory contains Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant architectural choices made in the Headlamp Polaris Plugin.
## What is an ADR?
An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences. AD Rs provide historical context for future developers and serve as documentation for why certain approaches were chosen.
## When to Create an ADR
Create an ADR when:
- Making a significant architectural choice (e.g., state management approach)
- Selecting between multiple technology options (e.g., React Context vs. Redux)
- Establishing a pattern that impacts multiple components
- Making a trade-off decision with non-trivial consequences
- Introducing a new dependency or external integration
- Defining security or performance constraints
## ADR Format
Each ADR follows this template (based on Michael Nygard's format):
```markdown
# ADR-NNN: Title
**Status**: [Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded by ADR-XXX]
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Deciders**: [List key decision makers]
## Context
What is the issue that we're seeing that is motivating this decision or change?
## Decision
What is the change that we're proposing and/or doing?
## Consequences
What becomes easier or more difficult to do because of this change?
### Positive
- ...
### Negative
- ...
### Neutral
- ...
## Alternatives Considered
### Option 1: Name
**Pros**: ...
**Cons**: ...
**Decision**: Not chosen because...
## References

```
## ADR Index
| ADR | Title | Status | Date |
|-----|-------|--------|------|
| [001](001-react-context-for-state.md) | Use React Context for State Management | Accepted | 2026-02-12 |
**Note:** Additional ADRs documenting other significant decisions (service proxy approach, drawer navigation, MUI import restrictions) can be created following the template above.
## Creating a New ADR
1. **Determine the next ADR number** (e.g., if last ADR is 004, new ADR is 005)
2. **Create a new file**: `NNN-short-title.md` (e.g., `005-exemption-management.md`)
3. **Use the template above** and fill in all sections
4. **Add entry to this README** in the ADR Index table
5. **Submit for review** via pull request
## ADR Lifecycle
- **Proposed**: ADR is drafted and under discussion
- **Accepted**: Decision has been made and is currently in effect
- **Deprecated**: Decision is no longer recommended but not yet superseded
- **Superseded by ADR-XXX**: Decision has been replaced by a newer ADR
