codebase tells you what the system currently does but not WHY it was built that way, a well maintained document adds more value in such cases. how you maintain such docs that go stale with changing business decisions?

One thing I learned the hard way, dedup at extraction time isn't enough. The same fact gets phrased differently across conversations and slips through. The reconciliation pass at write time was a response to that. Happy to discuss more!

Exactly. Once each stage in the pipeline lived as its own job in the queue, observability got dramatically better. Stage-level latency, queue depth, and failure rates made bottlenecks obvious in a way that was hard to see inside a single async service. It also made it much easier to tune concurrency per stage instead of guessing globally.
