 Syntax rules: Always specify direction (`LR` or `TD`). Wrap labels containing special characters in double quotes: `A["MyClass::method()"]`. One relationship per line. Use subgraphs sparingly (max one level deep). Add a brief sentence before the diagram explaining what it shows.
 
+**Critical mermaid restrictions** — GitHub's renderer is strict. Violating these causes "Unable to render rich display" errors:

+- **No backtick strings** — Do NOT use the backtick/markdown-string syntax inside node labels: `` A["`label`"] `` is invalid. Use plain text or double-quoted strings only: `A["label"]`.
+- **No `\n` in labels** — Do NOT use `\n` escape sequences inside node labels. They are not rendered as newlines and cause lexer errors. Keep labels to a single line. If a label is too long, shorten it or split the node into two nodes.
+- **No special characters unquoted** — Any label containing `@`, `(`, `)`, `:`, `/`, `<`, `>`, or other non-alphanumeric characters must be wrapped in double quotes.
+- **Test mentally before writing** — Before including a diagram, verify each node label is either plain alphanumeric text or a properly double-quoted string with no escape sequences.
