TL;DR

Completely revamped the README.md and configuration examples to provide clearer documentation, better organization, and more comprehensive guidance for users.

What changed?

  • Restructured the README with a more user-friendly format including clear sections for Getting Started, Architecture, Installation, Configuration, and API usage
  • Added detailed explanations of Insight's components and data flow
  • Introduced new sections on work modes (Backfill vs. Live)
  • Expanded configuration documentation with environment variable references and best practices
  • Improved the project structure documentation and contributing guidelines
  • Enhanced the config.example.yml with comprehensive comments explaining each configuration option
  • Updated secrets.example.yml with better organization and detailed comments

How to test?

  1. Review the new README structure for clarity and completeness
  2. Verify that the Getting Started section provides clear instructions for new users
  3. Check that the configuration documentation accurately reflects all available options
  4. Ensure the API documentation correctly describes the available endpoints
  5. Confirm that the architecture description accurately represents the system

Why make this change?

The previous documentation was technical but lacked organization and user-friendly explanations. This update makes Insight more accessible to new users while providing comprehensive reference material for advanced users. The improved configuration examples with detailed comments help users understand each option's purpose and impact, reducing the learning curve and potential configuration errors.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

44-46: Trim trailing whitespace to satisfy YAML lint and keep diffs clean

Three blank-lines still carry trailing spaces (❶ around line 45, ❷ around 56, ❸ around 71). They trip YAMLlint and create noisy future diffs.

Also applies to: 55-57, 70-72

300-312: Add blank lines before and after tables to silence markdown-lint

markdownlint MD058 is raised because the table is flush with surrounding text. Insert one empty line before | YAML Path | and after the closing | row for each table block.


374-382: Specify a language for the project-structure code block

The fenced block beginning with insight/ lacks a language tag (MD040).

440-444: Drop conversational footer to keep README objective

Lines 440-444 (“Let me know if you want…”) read like a commit-message artifact and aren’t useful to end-users. Recommend deleting.

5-5: Remove trailing spaces flagged by YAMLlint

Several lines contain only whitespace. While harmless at runtime, they violate our linter gate and clutter diffs.
