ADR: CI Dashboard Information Architecture

Date: 2026-06-26 Status: Accepted

Context

The CI dashboard must become an operator console and decision surface, not a pretty archive. It should help Arijit and future stakeholders answer: what happened, how reliable is it, what should be done, who owns it, and what changed since prior reports.

Decision

Build the CI dashboard as a private-tunnel-first product with six v1 views.

V1 Views

View Purpose
Today Latest daily pulse, current bottom line, top action, and source-health warning.
Weekly Latest weekly digest, patterns, owner actions, and battlecard update candidates.
Sources Source health by competitor, source type, priority, cadence, status, and failure streak.
Signals Searchable/filterable signal ledger by competitor, category, owner, score, date, and source type.
Actions Track proposed, accepted, assigned, completed, and rejected recommendations.
Archive Daily and weekly reports with Markdown, HTML, PDF, quality score, and delivery status.

Access Model

V1 is private tunnel only for Arijit. Stakeholder mode is explicitly deferred until:

  • Authentication exists.
  • Report claims pass evidence gates.
  • Export controls exist.
  • Athena review status exists.
  • The system avoids Algolia-confidential leakage by design.

Visual Story

Use the official Algolia design system for Algolia-specific CI artifacts and dashboard styling. The UI should feel like an operational intelligence console: dense, scannable, restrained, evidence-forward, and suitable for repeated daily use.
