The simplified three-stage content generation pipeline:

    participant User
    participant CLI
    participant BatchProcessor
    participant ContentGenerator
    participant AIClient
    participant Database

    User->>CLI: generate-batch --job-file jobs/example.json
    CLI->>BatchProcessor: process_job()
    
    loop For each project/tier/article
        BatchProcessor->>ContentGenerator: generate_title(project_id)
        ContentGenerator->>AIClient: generate_completion(prompt)
        AIClient-->>ContentGenerator: title
        
        BatchProcessor->>ContentGenerator: generate_outline(project_id, title)
        ContentGenerator->>AIClient: generate_completion(prompt, json_mode=true)
        AIClient-->>ContentGenerator: outline JSON
        
        BatchProcessor->>ContentGenerator: generate_content(project_id, title, outline)
        ContentGenerator->>AIClient: generate_completion(prompt)
        AIClient-->>ContentGenerator: HTML content
        
        BatchProcessor->>ContentGenerator: validate_word_count(content)
        
        alt Below minimum word count
            BatchProcessor->>ContentGenerator: augment_content(content, target_count)
            ContentGenerator->>AIClient: generate_completion(prompt)
            AIClient-->>ContentGenerator: augmented HTML
        end
        
        BatchProcessor->>Database: save GeneratedContent record
    end
    
    BatchProcessor-->>CLI: Summary statistics
    CLI-->>User: Job complete
```

## CORA Ingestion Workflow (Story 2.1)

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant CLI
    participant Parser
    participant Database

    User->>CLI: ingest-cora --file report.xlsx --name "Project Name"
    CLI->>Parser: parse(file_path)
    Parser-->>CLI: cora_data dict
    CLI->>Database: create Project record
    Database-->>CLI: project_id
    CLI-->>User: Project created (ID: X)
```

## Deployment Workflow (Story 1.6)

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant CLI
    participant BunnyNetClient
    participant Database

    User->>CLI: provision-site --name "Site" --domain "example.com"
    CLI->>BunnyNetClient: create_storage_zone()
    BunnyNetClient-->>CLI: storage_zone_id
    CLI->>BunnyNetClient: create_pull_zone()
    BunnyNetClient-->>CLI: pull_zone_id
    CLI->>BunnyNetClient: add_custom_hostname()
    CLI->>Database: save SiteDeployment record
    CLI-->>User: Site provisioned! Configure DNS.
