# PRD: Replace ConfigMap with Solution CR in Recommend Tool **Created**: 2025-11-23 **Status**: Complete **Owner**: TBD **Last Updated**: 2025-11-26 **Completed**: 2025-11-26 **Issue**: #229 **Priority**: High ## Executive Summary Replace ConfigMap-based solution storage in the `recommend` tool with Solution Custom Resource (CR) generation, enabling persistent tracking, health monitoring, and lifecycle management through the Solution controller from dot-ai-controller. **✅ PREREQUISITE COMPLETE**: dot-ai-controller Solution CRD implementation is complete. Ready to begin implementation. ## Problem Statement ### Current Challenges - **Ephemeral Storage**: ConfigMaps provide temporary, session-based solution storage - **No Lifecycle Management**: ConfigMaps don't track resource health or deployment state - **Limited Metadata**: ConfigMaps can't capture rich context (rationale, patterns, policies) - **No Controller Integration**: ConfigMaps aren't managed by controllers for automated operations - **Blocks Future Features**: PRD #228 (documentation & learning) requires CRD infrastructure ### User Impact - **Lost Context**: Solution information disappears when sessions end - **No Health Tracking**: Users can't see if deployed solutions are healthy - **Manual Cleanup**: No automatic garbage collection when solutions are deleted - **Inconsistent State**: No single source of truth for deployment state ## Goals ### Primary Goals 1. **Replace ConfigMap with Solution CR Generation** - Generate Solution CR manifest alongside application manifests - Include all required metadata (intent, resources, context) - Maintain current user workflow (save locally or apply via MCP) 2. **Remove ConfigMap Storage Completely** - Clean removal of all ConfigMap-related code - No migration path needed (clean break) - Simplify codebase by removing legacy storage 3. **Enable Persistent Tracking** - Solution CRs persist beyond session lifecycle - Controller tracks resource health automatically - Users can query solution state at any time 4. **Maintain Workflow Consistency** - User experience remains the same - Generate all manifests together (including Solution CR) - User chooses to save locally or apply via MCP - Solution CR works whether created before or after application resources 5. **Comprehensive Testing** - Integration tests verify Solution CR generation - Tests validate controller picks up and tracks resources - Health status validation in test suite ## Solution Overview ### High-Level Workflow ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 1. User Completes Recommendation Workflow │ │ - Provides intent │ │ - Answers configuration questions │ │ - Chooses solution │ └────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌────────────────────▼────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 2.

Solution Controller Takes Over │ │ - Discovers resources listed in Solution CR │ │ - Adds ownerReferences for garbage collection │ │ - Monitors resource health │ │ - Updates Solution status continuously │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### Key Changes **Before (ConfigMap Approach)**: ```typescript // Generate manifests const manifests = generateKubernetesManifests(solution); // Store in ConfigMap await createConfigMap({ name: `solution-${solutionId}`, data: { intent: solution.intent, manifests: JSON.stringify(manifests) } }); return { manifests, solutionId }; ``` **After (Solution CR Approach)**: ```typescript // Generate application manifests const manifests = generateKubernetesManifests(solution); // Generate Solution CR manifest const solutionCR = { apiVersion: 'dot-ai.io/v1alpha1', kind: 'Solution', metadata: { name: `solution-${solutionId}`, namespace: solution.namespace }, spec: { intent: solution.intent, resources: extractResourceReferences(manifests), context: { createdBy: 'dot-ai-mcp', rationale: solution.rationale, patterns: solution.patterns, policies: solution.policies } } }; // Return all manifests together return { manifests: [...manifests, solutionCR], solutionId }; ``` ## Requirements ### Functional Requirements 1. **Solution CR Generation** - Generate valid Solution CR manifest from solution data - Extract resource references (apiVersion, kind, name, namespace) from manifests - Populate spec.intent with user's original intent - Populate spec.context with rationale, patterns, policies - Generate unique solution name/ID 2. **ConfigMap Removal** - Remove all ConfigMap creation code from recommend tool - Remove ConfigMap storage utilities - Clean up imports and dependencies - No backward compatibility needed 3. **CRD Availability Detection** - Check if Solution CRD is available in cluster - Cache check result globally (check once, reuse result) - Skip Solution CR generation if CRD not available - Modify AI prompts based on CRD availability: - Remove Solution CR instructions from prompts if CRD unavailable - Include Solution CR instructions if CRD available - Graceful degradation (tool works without controller) 4. **Manifest Output** - Return Solution CR as part of manifest array (if CRD available) - Maintain YAML formatting consistency - Support both local save and MCP apply workflows - Solution CR conditionally included based on CRD availability 5. **Integration Testing** - Test Solution CR is generated correctly - Test CR includes all required fields - Test resource references are accurate - Test controller picks up and tracks resources - Test health status is properly reflected ### Non-Functional Requirements - **Compatibility**: Works with dot-ai-controller Solution CRD v1alpha1 - **Performance**: No performance degradation from ConfigMap approach - **Reliability**: Manifest generation never fails due to CR creation - **Maintainability**: Clean code without ConfigMap legacy - **Documentation**: Clear examples of Solution CR structure ## Dependencies ### Prerequisites (COMPLETE) - **dot-ai-controller Solution CRD**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Provides Solution CRD schema - Implements Solution controller - Available in dot-ai-controller repository ### Integration Points - **Recommend tool**: Core manifest generation logic - **MCP server**: Manifest deployment functionality - **Integration tests**: Test framework for validation - **Documentation**: User-facing guides and examples ### Dependent PRDs (UNBLOCKED BY THIS PRD) - **PRD #228**: Deployment Documentation & Example-Based Learning - Requires Solution CR infrastructure to be in place - Builds on Solution CR with documentation references - Cannot begin until this PRD is complete ## Implementation Milestones **✅ READY TO START**: dot-ai-controller is complete. All milestones are now unblocked. ### Milestone 1: Helm Chart Integration & Controller Deployment ✅ **Goal**: Ensure dot-ai-controller is operational and dot-ai deployment tracked by Solution CR **Success Criteria:** - dot-ai Helm chart includes dot-ai-controller as dependency - Controller CRD and deployment available in test clusters - Solution CR created by dot-ai chart that tracks all chart resources - Solution CR lists all resources deployed by dot-ai chart (MCP server, services, etc.) - Controller establishes Solution CR as parent of all dot-ai resources - Controller operational and ready for testing - Integration test setup includes controller **Implementation Tasks:** - Add dot-ai-controller chart as Helm dependency in charts/dot-ai/Chart.yaml - Configure dependency version and repository location - Create Solution CR template in charts/dot-ai/templates/solution.yaml - Populate Solution CR spec.resources with all chart-deployed resources: - MCP server Deployment - Services - ConfigMaps - Any other resources deployed by the chart - Configure Solution CR spec.intent describing dot-ai MCP deployment - Configure Solution CR spec.context with deployment metadata - Update integration test setup to deploy controller - Verify controller establishes parent-child relationships - Verify Solution CR status reflects dot-ai deployment health - Test CRD is available and accessible **Estimated Duration**: TBD during planning **Rationale**: 1. Controller must be operational before we can test Solution CR generation 2. Dogfooding: dot-ai's own deployment should be tracked by Solution CR 3. Provides real production example of Solution CR usage 4. Demonstrates parent-child resource relationships in practice 5. Ensures infrastructure is in place for subsequent milestones ### Milestone 2: Solution CR Generation ✅ **Goal**: Generate valid Solution CR manifests in recommend tool **Success Criteria:** - ✅ CRD availability check implemented with global caching -

[x] Health status validation working - [x] CRD availability check caching validated - [x] AI prompt modification tested for both scenarios - [x] All integration tests passing **Implementation Tasks:** - Write integration test for CRD availability check and caching: - Test first check queries cluster - Test subsequent checks use cached result - Test behavior with CRD present - Test behavior with CRD absent - Write integration test for Solution CR generation (CRD available) - Write integration test for workflow without CRD (graceful degradation) - Test resource reference extraction accuracy - Test controller integration (CR → resource tracking) - Test health status updates - Test AI prompt includes/excludes Solution CR instructions correctly - Test deployment workflow end-to-end (both scenarios) **Estimated Duration**: TBD during planning ### Milestone 5: Documentation Updates ✅ **Goal**: Installation documentation complete (detailed usage docs deferred until Solution CR user-facing features added) **Success Criteria:** -

[x] **PRD #228 Unblocked**: Documentation & learning PRD can begin implementation ## Risks & Mitigations | Risk | Impact | Probability | Mitigation | |------|--------|-------------|------------| | dot-ai-controller PR #5 delayed | High | Medium | Monitor PR progress, prepare implementation in parallel | | Solution CRD schema changes | Medium | Low | Follow PR #5 closely, coordinate with controller team | | Integration issues with controller | Medium | Low | Comprehensive integration testing, early validation | | User workflow confusion | Low | Low | Clear documentation, examples, and migration notes | | Test coverage gaps | Medium | Low | Thorough integration test suite, real cluster testing | ## Open Questions 1. **Solution CR Naming**: Use session ID, timestamp, or user-provided name? (Discuss during implementation) 2. **Namespace Strategy**: Default namespace or require user specification? 3. **Error Handling**: What happens if Solution CR generation fails? Fail entire operation or skip? 4. **Validation**: Should we validate Solution CR against CRD schema before returning? 5. **Cache Invalidation**: Should CRD availability cache have TTL, or is one-time check sufficient for session lifetime? 6. **CRD Check Timing**: Check availability at MCP server startup, or on-demand during first recommend call? ## Future Enhancements - **PRD #228 Integration**: Add documentation URL field to Solution CR - **Solution Querying**: MCP tools to list and inspect existing Solution CRs - **Solution Management**: MCP tools to update or delete Solution CRs - **Health Notifications**: Alert users when solution health degrades - **Solution Templates**: Pre-defined Solution patterns for common deployments - **Cross-Cluster Tracking**: Track solutions across multiple clusters ## Work Log ### 2025-11-23: PRD Creation & Updates **Duration**: ~1.5 hours **Status**: Planning - Blocked by dot-ai-controller PR #5 **Completed Work**: - Created PRD for ConfigMap → Solution CR migration - Defined 6 major milestones with clear success criteria - Established hard dependency on dot-ai-controller PR #5 - Documented Solution CR schema understanding - Outlined integration testing requirements - Added Milestone 1: Helm chart integration (dogfooding Solution CR for dot-ai deployment) - Added CRD availability detection requirement - Added graceful degradation strategy - Added dynamic AI prompt modification based on CRD availability - Added global caching for CRD availability check **Key Decisions**: - Complete ConfigMap removal (no migration path) - Generate Solution CR alongside application manifests - Maintain current user workflow (save locally or apply via MCP) - Solution CR timing flexible (before/after resources) - High priority to unblock PRD #228 - Helm chart includes controller as dependency - dot-ai deployment tracked by Solution CR (dogfooding) - CRD availability checked once and cached globally - AI prompts modified dynamically based on CRD availability - Graceful degradation when controller not installed **Next Steps**: - ✅ dot-ai-controller Solution CRD complete - Ready to begin Milestone 1: Helm Chart Integration & Controller Deployment - All prerequisites resolved, implementation can begin ### 2025-11-24: dot-ai-controller Solution CRD Complete **Duration**: N/A (external dependency) **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Blocking prerequisite resolved **Completed Work**: - dot-ai-controller Solution CRD implementation complete - Solution controller operational and available - CRD schema finalized and stable - PRD #229 unblocked and ready to start **Key Impact**: - **Status Updated**: PRD moved from "Blocked" to "Ready to Start" - **All Milestones Unblocked**: Can now begin Milestone 1 implementation - **Integration Ready**: Solution CRD available for integration testing **Next Steps**: - Begin Milestone 1: Helm Chart Integration & Controller Deployment - Implement CRD availability checking - Create Solution CR template for dot-ai deployment ### 2025-11-23: In-Cluster Test Infrastructure Implementation **Duration**: ~2-3 hours **Status**: Infrastructure foundation complete, ready for Milestone 1 **Completed Work**: - Implemented in-cluster deployment for integration tests - Created multi-stage Dockerfile using npm pack workflow - Added parallel operator installation to test script (30-60s speedup) - Configured ingress-based testing with nip.io domains - Updated version tests to support both host and in-cluster modes - Added ai.sdk configuration to Helm chart - Created v1.15.5-test-01 Qdrant test image tag - Removed unused setup-cluster.sh script **Key Technical Decisions**: - Local dot-ai image: Built from npm pack, loaded into Kind (single-arch) - Qdrant test image: Pulled from GHCR (multi-arch can't be pre-loaded) - Test mode: Deploy via Helm with ingress instead of host-based server - Parallel installations: CNPG, Kyverno, nginx install simultaneously **Infrastructure Validated**: - ✅ Dockerfile builds correctly with local package - ✅ Helm deployment to Kind cluster works - ✅ Ingress with nip.io domain accessible - ✅ All version tests passing (4/4) - ✅ MCP server responding correctly in-cluster **Rationale**: This infrastructure work enables testing the actual Helm chart deployment (exactly as users will deploy it) rather than testing host-based processes. Critical for Milestone 1's goal of dogfooding: dot-ai's deployment will be tracked by a Solution CR, which requires the chart to be deployed in-cluster. **Next Steps**: - ✅ Complete - Moved to Milestone 2 ### 2025-11-24: Milestone 1 Complete - Helm Chart Integration & Controller Deployment **Duration**: ~3 hours **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Milestone 1 finished and validated **Completed Work**: - **Helm Chart Configuration**: - Removed dot-ai-controller as chart dependency (two-step install approach) - Set `controller.enabled: false` as default in `values.yaml` (backwards compatible) - Created Solution CR template in `charts/templates/solution.yaml` - Solution CR conditionally deployed when `controller.enabled=true` - Updated Helm dependencies (removed controller from `Chart.yaml`) - **CI/CD Pipeline Updates**: - Added `helm dependency build` step to `.github/workflows/ci.yml` - Ensures dependencies bundled in published charts - **Documentation**: - Updated `docs/setup/kubernetes-setup.md` with two-step installation - Added optional Step 2 for controller installation (v0.16.0+) - Documented `controller.enabled` flag usage - Created example Solution CR in `examples/solution-dot-ai.yaml` - **Testing & Validation**: - Tested two-step installation: controller v0.16.0 + dot-ai - Verified Solution CR creation (6 resources tracked: ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding, Secret, Deployment, Service) - Verified controller reconciliation (state: deployed, all resources ready) - Verified ownerReferences added to all child resources - Verified garbage collection setup (blockOwnerDeletion: true) - Validated health monitoring in controller logs **Key Technical Decisions**: - **Two-step installation**: Removed controller as Helm dependency; users install separately when needed - **Backwards compatible**: `controller.enabled: false` by default, existing users unaffected - **Opt-in Solution CR**: Users must explicitly enable `controller.enabled=true` to get Solution CR tracking - **Conditional rendering**: Solution CR template only renders when controller is enabled **Architecture Evolution**: - **Original plan**: Controller as Helm dependency with hooks to avoid CRD chicken-egg problem - **Final implementation**: Separate controller installation, simpler chart templates, no hooks needed - **Rationale**: Industry standard pattern (cert-manager, ArgoCD, etc.), cleaner templates, avoids Helm validation issues **Validation Results**: ```bash # Controller operational $ kubectl get pods -n dot-ai NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE dot-ai-controller-manager-cd4d58845-ppt58 1/1 Running 0 79s dot-ai-6dc4dcfdf7-ps7t8 1/1 Running 0 17s dot-ai-qdrant-0 1/1 Running 0 17s # Solution CR tracking dot-ai deployment $ kubectl get solution dot-ai -n dot-ai NAME INTENT STATE RESOURCES AGE dot-ai Deploy dot-ai MCP server for AI-powered Kubernetes operations deployed 6 85s # OwnerReferences established $ kubectl get deployment dot-ai -n dot-ai -o jsonpath='{.metadata.ownerReferences}' [{"apiVersion":"dot-ai.devopstoolkit.live/v1alpha1","kind":"Solution","name":"dot-ai",...}] ``` **Files Changed**: - `charts/Chart.yaml` - Removed controller dependency - `charts/values.yaml` - Added `controller.enabled: false` - `charts/templates/solution.yaml` - Created Solution CR template - `.github/workflows/ci.yml` - Added dependency build step - `docs/setup/kubernetes-setup.md` - Added controller installation instructions - `examples/solution-dot-ai.yaml` - Created example Solution CR **Next Steps**: - **Milestone 3**: Remove ConfigMap storage code - **Milestone 4**: Integration testing for recommend tool - **Milestone 5**: Documentation updates - **Milestone 6**: Feature validation and completion ### 2025-11-25: Milestone 2 Complete - Solution CR Generation **Duration**: ~2 hours **Status**: ✅ Complete - Milestone 2 of 6 **Completed Work**: - **Type System Updates**: - Added `appliedPatterns?: string[]` to SolutionData and ResourceSolution interfaces - Added `relevantPolicies?: string[]` to QuestionGroup interface - Removed redundant `appliedPolicies` field to avoid data duplication - Patterns stored at solution level, policies stored in questions object - **AI Prompt Enhancements**: - Modified `prompts/resource-selection.md` to instruct AI to return pattern descriptions - Modified `prompts/question-generation.md` to instruct AI to return policy descriptions - AI now explicitly tracks which organizational patterns and policies influenced its decisions - **CRD Availability Check**: - Created `src/core/crd-availability.ts` with singleton cache pattern - Checks once per MCP server lifecycle if Solution CRD exists in cluster - Returns cached result on subsequent calls to avoid repeated cluster queries - Graceful degradation when CRD unavailable - **Solution CR Generation Utility**: - Created `src/core/solution-cr.ts` with `generateSolutionCR()` function - Parses AI-generated manifests to extract accurate resource references - Builds Solution CR with spec.intent, spec.resources, and spec.context - Context includes patterns and policies from session data - Properly formats YAML output - **Pipeline Integration**: - Modified `src/tools/generate-manifests.ts` to conditionally generate Solution CR - Checks CRD availability before attempting generation - Combines ConfigMap + Solution CR (if available) + application manifests - Full graceful degradation support - continues without Solution CR if CRD missing - Error handling ensures manifest generation never fails due to Solution CR - **Session Storage**: - Updated `src/tools/recommend.ts` to store patterns from solution assembly - Policies captured during question generation stored in `questions.relevantPolicies` - No data duplication - each AI stage owns its captured organizational context - All organizational context properly persisted to session files **Key Design Decisions**: - **No data duplication**: Patterns stored at solution level (from solution assembly AI), policies stored in questions object (from question generation AI) - **Parse manifests for accuracy**: Resource names extracted from AI-generated manifests rather than guessed - **Singleton caching**: CRD availability checked once and cached globally for performance - **Graceful degradation**: Tool works perfectly without dot-ai-controller installed - **Pattern/policy descriptions**: Store human-readable descriptions instead of UUIDs for Solution CR readability **Files Modified**: - `src/tools/recommend.ts` - Updated SolutionData interface and session storage - `src/core/schema.ts` - Updated ResourceSolution and QuestionGroup interfaces - `src/tools/generate-manifests.ts` - Integrated Solution CR generation - `prompts/resource-selection.md` - Added appliedPatterns field to AI response - `prompts/question-generation.md` - Added relevantPolicies field to AI response **Files Created**: - `src/core/crd-availability.ts` - CRD availability check with singleton cache - `src/core/solution-cr.ts` - Solution CR generation utility **Build Status**: ✅ All TypeScript compilation successful **Next Steps**: - Milestone 3: Remove ConfigMap storage code (now redundant with Solution CR) - Milestone 4: Integration testing for Solution CR workflow - Milestone 5: Documentation updates with Solution CR examples ### 2025-11-25: Milestone 3 Complete - ConfigMap Removal **Duration**: ~1 hour **Status**: ✅ Complete - Milestone 3 of 6 **Completed Work**: - **ConfigMap Generation Removed**: Deleted `generateMetadataConfigMap()` function (52 lines) - **Dead Code Cleanup**: Removed unused `sanitizeKubernetesName()` utility function (24 lines) - **Pipeline Simplification**: Updated manifest combination logic to only include Solution CR + AI manifests - **Comment Updates**: Updated 2 comments that referenced ConfigMaps - **Import Cleanup**: Removed unused `sanitizeKubernetesName` import - **Build Validation**: Confirmed all TypeScript compilation successful, no lint errors **Files Modified**: - `src/tools/generate-manifests.ts` - Core ConfigMap removal and pipeline simplification - `src/core/deploy-operation.ts` - Comment updates - `src/core/solution-utils.ts` - Dead code removal **Code Impact**: - Total lines removed: ~80 lines - Codebase simplified and cleaner - Single source of truth: Solution CR only (when available) - No ConfigMap dependencies remain **Validation**: - ✅ Build passes without errors - ✅ No ConfigMap dependencies remain - ✅ Lint passes cleanly - ⏳ Integration tests pending (Milestone 4) **Key Changes**: - Removed `generateMetadataConfigMap()` - no longer needed with Solution CR - Removed `sanitizeKubernetesName()` - only used by removed ConfigMap function - Simplified manifest combination: `manifestParts = [solutionCR?, aiManifests]` - ConfigMap stored deployment metadata (name, intent, resources) - all now in Solution CR **Next Steps**: - ✅ Complete - Moved to Milestone 4 ### 2025-11-25: Milestone 4 Complete - Integration Testing **Duration**: ~3 hours **Status**: ✅ Complete - Milestone 4 of 6 **Completed Work**: - **Test Infrastructure Updates**: - Added dot-ai-controller v0.16.0 installation to integration test setup - Configured parallel operator installation pattern for performance - Fixed Qdrant deployment to preserve pre-populated test data - Deployed Qdrant as standalone Deployment without PVC (prevents image data overwrite) - Configured `QDRANT_CAPABILITIES_COLLECTION=capabilities-policies` via Helm extraEnv - Added controller readiness wait to test pipeline - **Integration Test Enhancements**: - Added Solution CR validation to recommend workflow test - Validated CR structure with specific values (solutionId, namespace, intent) - Added controller integration validation via ownerReferences check - Verified controller reconciliation adds ownerReferences to deployed resources - Added 5-second wait for controller reconciliation before validation - Fixed manifest verification to use response data instead of file path - Removed patternSummary validation (field not in response) - **Test Execution**: - All integration tests passing (132 seconds total runtime) - Solution CR generation validated in real cluster deployment - Controller integration confirmed with ownerReference verification - End-to-end workflow validated from intent → deployment → tracking **Key Technical Solutions**: - **Qdrant Data Preservation**: Deploy Qdrant as simple Deployment without PVC, allowing pre-populated collections from container image to be used - **Collection Configuration**: Set `QDRANT_CAPABILITIES_COLLECTION` via Helm chart's extraEnv to route tests to correct pre-populated collection - **Manifest Validation**: Parse manifests from API response (`generateResponse.data.result.manifests`) instead of attempting file I/O - **Controller Integration**: Wait for reconciliation, then validate ownerReferences were added by controller to deployed resources **Challenges & Resolutions**: 1. **Qdrant PVC Issue**: Helm chart's PVC overwrite pre-populated image data - **Solution**: Disable embedded Qdrant, deploy separately as Deployment without PVC 2. **Collection Name Mismatch**: Tests expected `capabilities-policies` collection - **Solution**: Configure via `QDRANT_CAPABILITIES_COLLECTION` environment variable 3. **File Access in Pod**: Test tried to read manifest file inside MCP pod - **Solution**: Use manifests from API response instead of file path 4. **Parallel Installation Pattern**: Controller installation initially breaking parallel pattern - **Solution**: Move installation to parallel start section, keep wait at end **Files Modified**: - `tests/integration/infrastructure/run-integration-tests.sh` - Added controller installation, Qdrant standalone deployment, environment variable configuration - `tests/integration/tools/recommend.test.ts` - Added Solution CR validation, controller integration validation, fixed manifest verification **Validation Results**: ```bash # All integration tests passing ✓ tests/integration/tools/recommend.test.ts (1 test) 132091ms ✓ Recommend Tool Integration > Recommendation Workflow ✓ should complete full workflow: clarification → solutions → choose → answer → generate → deploy # Solution CR validated - apiVersion: dot-ai.devopstoolkit.live/v1alpha1 - kind: Solution - spec.intent: "deploy postgresql database" - spec.resources: Contains all deployed resources - spec.context: Includes rationale, patterns, policies # Controller integration validated - ownerReferences added to deployed resources - Solution CR acts as parent for garbage collection - controller: true, blockOwnerDeletion: true confirmed ``` **Next Steps**: - **Milestone 5**: Documentation updates with Solution CR examples -
