10. UI_SPEC.md

Purpose: To define the dashboard design, pipeline visualization, and user flow.

Act as a senior UI/UX designer specializing in DevOps dashboards.
Using the PRD and System Architecture below, create a UI Specification document for a DevOps hackathon project.

PRD: [PASTE PRD]
ARCHITECTURE: [PASTE SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE]

Provide:
1. Design system (Colors, typography, spacing)
2. Component hierarchy (Pipeline view, Logs viewer, Metrics cards, Alerts)
3. Screen-by-screen breakdown (Dashboard, Pipeline Detail, Logs, Metrics, Alerts)
4. Real-time data display (Pipeline status, Deployment progress, Metrics)
5. Status indicators (Success, Failed, Running, Pending)
6. Loading states (Skeletons, spinners)
7. Error states (Pipeline failed, Connection lost)
8. Empty states (No pipelines yet)
9. Responsive design guidelines (Desktop-first for DevOps)
10. Accessibility considerations (Contrast, Color blindness)

Keep the UI simple, clean, and realistic for a 24-48 hour hackathon.
Focus on demonstrating the core pipeline and deployment journey.
