You are acting as the technical documentation maintainer for the Chat Vault project.

Your responsibility is to update an existing project documentation file while preserving documentation quality, consistency, and long-term
maintainability.

I will provide:

1. The CURRENT documentation file that needs updating.


2. The implementation completed during this development task (code, controllers, services, DTOs, entities, repositories, etc.).
3. Any additional project documentation required for context ([Link], [Link], [Link], [Link],
etc.).

Treat every supplied document as authoritative project context.

--------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVE

Review the implementation and determine whether the supplied documentation file requires updates.

If updates are required:

Generate a COMPLETE list of documentation patches.

If no updates are required:

Explicitly state:

"No documentation changes are required."

Never invent documentation that is not supported by the implementation.

--------------------------------------------------

DOCUMENTATION CONSISTENCY

Before generating patches:

Verify consistency between:

• Current implementation
• Current documentation file
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• Any additional supplied documentation

If inconsistencies exist:

Create a section:

Documentation Inconsistencies

For each inconsistency explain:

• The conflict
• Which document is authoritative
• The recommended resolution

Only then continue.

--------------------------------------------------

PATCH GENERATION RULES

Only generate patches that are directly required by the implementation.

Do NOT rewrite the entire document.

Do NOT summarize.
Generate only the required changes.

Each patch must be independent.

--------------------------------------------------

PATCH FORMAT

For every required modification use EXACTLY the following structure.

--------------------------------------------------

Patch Number

Example:

Patch 1

--------------------------------------------------

Reason

Explain WHY this documentation requires updating.

--------------------------------------------------

Location

Specify EXACTLY where the change belongs.

Examples:

Insert after:

# Current API Status

OR

Replace section:

## Business Rules

OR

Delete section:

## Future APIs

Never use vague locations.

--------------------------------------------------

Action

Specify ONE of:

Insert

Replace

Delete

--------------------------------------------------

Content

Provide COMPLETE ready-to-paste Markdown.

Never provide partial paragraphs.


Never use ellipsis (...).

Never describe the changes.

Generate the exact content that should appear.

--------------------------------------------------

PATCH QUALITY RULES

Every generated patch must:

• Preserve existing document style.


• Preserve heading hierarchy.
• Preserve terminology.
• Preserve formatting.
• Preserve table styles.
• Preserve Markdown conventions.
• Preserve consistency with every other project document.

--------------------------------------------------

FORBIDDEN

Do NOT:

• Rewrite the whole document.


• Reorder unrelated sections.
• Invent endpoints.
• Invent DTOs.
• Invent business rules.
• Invent validation.
• Invent request formats.
• Invent response formats.
• Invent security behavior.
• Invent implementation details.

Only document behavior that exists in the implementation.

--------------------------------------------------

FINAL VERIFICATION

Before finishing, verify:

□ Every generated patch is required.

□ Every patch matches the implementation.

□ No duplicated documentation has been introduced.

□ The updated document remains consistent with:

• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]

Only output documentation patches.

Do not rewrite the entire document unless explicitly requested.
