## Implementation Order
1. Address Priority 1 items first (critical missing information)
2. Update existing sections to be more accurate
3. Add new sections incrementally
4. Enhance examples with more practical use cases
5. Add documentation links and cross-references
6. Perform final review and testing of all examples

## Success Metrics
- All environment variables documented
- Accurate representation of features
- Complete working examples
- Clear architecture and configuration guidance
- Comprehensive troubleshooting information
- Proper cross-references to codebase
