Description

Targets main so Netlify builds a deploy preview. Carries #5498's layout commit ("Use case pages: add a How It Works section") because this page needs the howItWorks block the layout gains there. Once #5498 merges that commit drops out of this diff on the next rebase.

Adds /use-cases/system-diagnostics/, one of the use case pages defined in the earlier three-lens IA work and dropped when that work was cut back. The page copy is recovered as it was written and still carries its #placeholder: template copy for review marker, so it wants a Showcase pass before it is treated as final.

Adapted to the current layout:

  • The architecture key moves inside a new howItWorks block, so it renders as a link to /use-cases/it-ot-middleware/ instead of being front-matter nothing reads.
  • howItWorks is newly authored for this page: the component breakdown, a design pattern assignment (Software pattern: Packaged application), an end-to-end diagram and docs links.
  • expertDock is dropped; nothing on main renders it.
  • Diagram is a placehold.co stand-in pending an art request.

Wiring: adds the url: to this page's existing entry in the homepage Operational Application System list, where it was previously unlinked text, and adds it to the footer use case list. The Solutions nav still points at the /use-cases/ hub rather than listing every page.

Sibling PRs add the other six pages the same way. They each touch the same homepage list and footer list, so expect a one-line rebase as they land.

Use case pages carried only what and why. This adds a howItWorks block to
the layout covering the component breakdown, the design pattern chosen,
an end-to-end architecture diagram and the hand-off into the product docs.

Filled in for production monitoring and shop floor communication, with
placehold.co stand-ins until the real diagrams are drawn.

Two supporting fixes: section eyebrow numbers now derive from the nav array
instead of being hardcoded, so they no longer drift when a page omits a
block; and the architecture front-matter key on shop floor communication,
which the layout never read, now renders as a link to the architecture page
the use case sits on.
Restores the System Diagnostics page written in the earlier three-lens IA work and
dropped when that work was cut back. Copy is recovered as written and still
carries its template-copy marker for a Showcase pass.

Adapted to the current layout: the architecture key moves inside a new
howItWorks block covering diagnostics from a shared emitter through to one triage view, and expertDock is dropped since nothing
renders it. Diagram is a placehold.co stand-in.

Links it from the homepage Operational Application System entry and the footer
use case list.
