4) docs/state-machine.md

Bonus (must be opened when data changes)

  • docs/change-data-playbook.md
  • docs/common-maintenance-tasks.md

Note: the most critical source code file path requires verification against the application repo (adi-jaya-master) because the structure can change between versions.
