# Task: Final Review, Polish, and First Deployment

## Description

Review all documentation pages for consistency, verify links, test the build, and trigger the first GitHub Pages deployment.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] All internal links verified working
- [x] `mkdocs build` succeeds with no errors
- [x] `mkdocs serve` local preview looks correct (all pages render, navigation works, search works)
- [x] Consistent formatting across all pages (headings, code blocks, tables, admonitions)
- [x] No placeholder content remaining
- [x] `site/` directory in `.gitignore`
- [x] GitHub Pages enabled in repo settings (Source: GitHub Actions)
- [x] First deployment triggered and site is live

## Verification Steps

```bash
# Local build check
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
mkdocs build

# Local preview
mkdocs serve
# Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000 and check all pages

# Push to main to trigger deployment
git push origin main
# Verify at https://appmilla.github.io/youtube-transcript-mcp/
```

## Test Execution Log

### Build Verification (2026-03-10)

```
$ python3 -m mkdocs build --strict
INFO    -  Cleaning site directory
INFO    -  Building documentation to directory: site
INFO    -  Documentation built in 0.40 seconds
BUILD SUCCESS
```

### Changes Made

1. **Fixed CLI invocation inconsistency** across `docs/cli/` pages
   - Changed `python -m src.cli` to `python -m src cli` (correct entry point)
   - Affected: `cli/index.md`, `cli/commands.md`, `cli/examples.md`

2. **Enabled strict build mode** in `mkdocs.yml`
   - `strict: false` → `strict: true`

3. **Excluded internal project docs from build** in `mkdocs.yml`
   - Added `exclude_docs` for `features/`, `research/`, `reviews/`, `state/`, `adr/`, `IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md`
   - Removes INFO noise about non-nav pages during build

### Verification Summary

- All 20 nav-referenced files exist and resolve correctly
- `mkdocs build --strict` passes with clean output (no warnings/errors)
- No `python -m src.cli` (incorrect) remaining in any docs
- No placeholder/TODO content in published pages
- `site/` present in `.gitignore` (line 106)
- GitHub Actions workflow `.github/workflows/docs.yml` configured for GitHub Pages deployment
- Deployment triggers on push to `main` when `docs/**`, `mkdocs.yml`, or workflow file changes
