-## Deployment
+## Documentation framework & structure
-- The docs build with `npm run build` (includes generating health/version metadata).
+- **Framework:** Docusaurus v3 (static site). Routing is rooted at `/` (`routeBasePath: '/'` in `docusaurus.config.js`).
-- Deploy to Railway using the provided `railway.json` or to GitHub Pages via the `deploy-docs` workflow.
+- **Docs location:** `docs/` organized into the following standard sections:
-- Branch mapping:
+  - `intro/`
-  - `dev` → preview/staging deployment
+  - `core/`
-  - `staging` → staging environment
+  - `web/`
-  - `main` → production
+  - `console/`
+  - `agents/`
+  - `operator/` (stubbed until playbooks are written)
+  - `infra/`
+  - `onboarding/`
+- **Navigation:** `sidebars.js` defines the tree for the `primarySidebar`. The navbar shows the unified "Docs" sidebar.
+
+### Adding or updating pages
+1. Add a Markdown file to the correct section in `docs/` (e.g., `docs/core/new-page.md`).
+2. Register it in `sidebars.js` under the matching category so it appears in navigation.
+3. Run `npm start` to verify local rendering.
+
+### Health & hosting
+- The site is static and exposes `static/health.json` and `static/health/index.json` at `/health` and `/health.json` for probes. A version payload lives at `/version` and `/version.json`.
+- The production hostname is controlled through the `PUBLIC_DOCS_URL` env var (see below) and consumed via `src/config/docsConfig.js`.
+
+### Deployment
+- The docs build with `npm run build` (includes generating health/version metadata via `scripts/generateMeta.js`).
+- Deploy to Railway using the provided `railway.json` and GitHub Actions workflow `.github/workflows/docs-deploy.yaml`.
+- Branch mapping in the workflow:
+  - `dev` → Railway environment `dev` (https://dev.docs.blackroad.systems)
+  - `staging` → Railway environment `staging` (https://staging.docs.blackroad.systems)
+  - `main` → Railway environment `prod` (https://docs.blackroad.systems)

+# Operator Playbooks
+
+> TODO: Flesh out runbooks for console operators, incident response, and release management.
+>
+> This section should eventually include:
+> - **Runbooks:** standard operating procedures for on-call and console operators.
+> - **Playbooks:** repeatable steps for common production tasks (failover, migrations, cache warm-ups).
+> - **Dashboards & alerts:** links to observability dashboards and alert routing.
+> - **Run readiness:** preflight checklists for deploys and maintenance windows.
+
+This stub anchors the `operator/` section in navigation so the structure stays stable while content is authored.
