Description

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for the partner-chains-node-commands crate, which provides the CLI interface for Partner Chains node operations. The documentation package includes:

Changes Made

1. Enhanced src/lib.rs with complete API documentation

  • Added comprehensive module-level documentation explaining architecture and usage patterns
  • Documented all public command structs (AriadneParametersCmd, SidechainParamsCmd, RegistrationStatusCmd)
  • Added detailed documentation for the PartnerChainsSubcommand enum with all 8 command variants
  • Thoroughly documented the main run function with type parameters, arguments, and usage examples
  • Enhanced helper functions (setup_log4rs, print_result) with comprehensive documentation
  • Improved test documentation

2. Created comprehensive README.md

  • Overview of Partner Chains and CLI functionality
  • Detailed descriptions of all core commands with practical usage examples
  • Architecture explanation covering command structure and generic design
  • Dependencies documentation (core, Partner Chains specific, cryptography)
  • Error handling patterns and logging configuration
  • Development guidelines including building, testing, and integration
  • Security considerations and contributing guidelines

3. Added SUMMARY.md documentation index

  • Documentation overview and file descriptions
  • Quality checklist and maintenance guidelines
  • Target audience breakdown (node operators, validators, developers, smart contract developers)
  • Integration information with broader Partner Chains ecosystem

Documentation Quality

  • ✅ All public APIs documented with practical examples
  • ✅ Command usage examples with real-world scenarios
  • ✅ Error cases and edge conditions covered
  • ✅ Type parameters and generic constraints explained
  • ✅ Integration patterns for different user types
  • ✅ Maintenance and contribution guidelines

This documentation serves multiple audiences:

  • Node Operators: Command usage and troubleshooting guides
  • Validators: Registration and committee participation procedures
  • Developers: API integration and extension guidelines
  • Smart Contract Developers: Contract interaction patterns

The documentation follows Rust best practices with rustdoc conventions and provides comprehensive coverage suitable for both end-users and developers integrating with the Partner Chains ecosystem.

Checklist

  • Commit sequence broadly makes sense and commits have useful messages.
  • The size limit of 400 LOC isn't needlessly exceeded (documentation additions)
  • The PR refers to a JIRA ticket (if one exists)
  • New tests are added if needed and existing tests are updated. (N/A - documentation only)
  • New code is documented and existing documentation is updated.
  • Relevant logging and metrics added (N/A - documentation only)
  • Any changes are noted in the changelog.md for affected crate
  • Self-reviewed the diff

Notes

  • No functional code changes were made, only documentation additions and enhancements
  • No new tests required as this is purely documentation work
  • The existing test in the module was enhanced with better documentation
  • Logging and metrics are not applicable as no functional changes were made
  • May need to update changelog.md for the partner-chains-node-commands crate to note documentation improvements

@neotheprogramist let's limit the scope of this PR to just rust docs. I would suggest to drop those markdown files for now. They look very neat but also fall somewhat out of line.

So let's focus on rust-docs for the code.
