# Architecture

> Main modules, runtime flow, and responsibility boundaries

Insight Flow is composed of a backend API, scheduling and collection layers, a frontend management UI, and a Mint docs site.

## Modules

* `backend/`: FastAPI, database models, scheduler, collectors, report generation, and publishing
* `frontend/`: Next.js management interface
* `docs/`: Mint site and design records

## Main Runtime Flow

1. A source defines where content comes from
2. A monitor combines sources, AI routing, destinations, and report type
3. A scheduler or manual action triggers a monitor run
4. The backend collects, filters, summarizes, generates, and publishes output
5. The frontend and API expose management and result views

## Key Constraints

* API prefix is `/api/v1/`
* Schemas live under `backend/app/schemas/`
* Database changes must go through Alembic migrations
* Collector, renderer, and sink extensions should follow the plugin contract
