+# Zem Project Architecture
+
+## Overview
+`Zem` is a unified data pipeline framework that leverages the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** architecture to orchestrate data processing tasks across multiple domains. It integrates with **ZenML** for pipeline visualization and tracking.
+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. MCP Servers (`src/xfmr_zem/server.py`)
+- **Base Class**: `ZemServer` extends `FastMCP`.
+- **Role**: Encapsulates specific domain logic (e.g., NeMo Curator, DataJuicer) as callable tools.
+- **Constraints**: 
+    - Must disable the startup banner (`show_banner=False`) to ensure clean JSON-RPC communication over stdio.
+    - Tools should return dictionary results or standard MCP content structures.
+
+### 2. Pipeline Client (`src/xfmr_zem/client.py`)
+- **Role**: Acts as the orchestrator.
+- **Functionality**:
+    - Reads YAML configurations (`pipeline.yaml`, `server.yaml`).
+    - Dynamically constructs a ZenML pipeline based on the configuration steps.
+    - Manages the lifecycle of MCP server subprocesses.
+
+### 3. ZenML Wrapper (`src/xfmr_zem/zenml_wrapper.py`)
+- **Role**: Bridges ZenML steps with MCP tool execution.
+- **Functionality**:
+    - `mcp_generic_step`: A generic ZenML step that executes a specific tool on a target MCP server.
+    - Implements robust manual subprocess communication for JSON-RPC over stdio (bypassing `mcp` library async issues).
+
+## Configuration (`*.yaml`)
+- **Pipeline Config**: Defines the sequence of steps (`server.tool`).
+- **Server Config**: Maps logical server names to their implementation paths (Python scripts).
+
+## Implemented Servers
+
+- **NeMo Curator Server** (`src/xfmr_zem/servers/nemo_curator/server.py`):
+    - Tools: `pii_removal`, `normalize`, `quality_filter`.
+- **DataJuicer Server** (`src/xfmr_zem/servers/data_juicer/server.py`):
+    - Tools: `clean_content`, `refining_filter`, `clean_html`, `clean_links`, `fix_unicode`, `whitespace_normalization`, `text_length_filter`, `language_filter`, `document_simhash_dedup`.
+- **Profiler Server** (`src/xfmr_zem/servers/profiler/server.py`):
+    - Tools: `profile_data` (Generates stats: word counts, null ratios, uniqueness).
+- **LLM-Curation Server** (`src/xfmr_zem/servers/llm/server.py`):
+    - Tools: `mask_pii`, `classify_domain`.
+    - Providers: **Ollama** (local default), **OpenAI**.
+- **Sinks Server** (`src/xfmr_zem/servers/sinks/server.py`):
+    - Tools: `to_huggingface`, `to_vector_db`.
+
+## Orchestration & Concurrency
+
+### 1. Sequential (Default)
+Uses the standard ZenML local orchestrator. Steps are executed one-by-one.
+
+### 2. Parallel Local (Optimized)
+Uses the custom `ParallelLocalOrchestrator` (`src/xfmr_zem/orchestrators/parallel_local.py`).
+- **Capability**: Executes independent DAG branches (trees) concurrently using multi-threading.
+- **Setup**: `uv run zenml stack set parallel_stack`.
+
+## Environment & Constraints
+
+### 🔴 Port Usage (CRITICAL)
+- **Allowed Port Range**: **8871 - 8879** (Environment restrictions)
+- **ZenML Dashboard**: `uv run zenml up --port 8871`
+
+### 🟢 Python Environment
+- Use `uv run` to execute scripts in the correct environment.
+- **PYTHONPATH**: When using the custom parallel orchestrator, you MUST include `src` in your path: `export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/src`.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Added
+- **Parallel Orchestration**: New `ParallelLocalOrchestrator` allowing true concurrent execution of independent DAG branches.
+- **Dynamic Project Bootstrapping**: `zem init` command to create standalone project structures with sample agents.
+- **Adaptive Caching**: Step-level cache control (`cache: true/false`) in pipeline YAML.
+- **Cloud & Parquet Support**: Native loading from S3, GCS, and HTTP; high-performance Parquet IO.
+- **Frontier LLM Integration**: `llm` server with Ollama and OpenAI support for smart curation (PII masking, classification).
+- **Data Sinks**: Seamless export to Hugging Face Hub and Vector Databases (Pinecone, Milvus).
+- **Enhanced Observability**: 
+  - `zem preview --diff` to compare artifact versions.
+  - `zem preview --sample` for random data sampling.
+  - `zem dashboard` shortcut for ZenML visualization.
+- **Improved Validation**: Pydantic v2 schemas for robust pipeline configuration.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed broken flavor icons in ZenML Dashboard.
+- Improved server path resolution to handle both internal and project-local servers.
+- Fixed f-string escaping and path joining in project bootstrap logic.
+- Standardized tool registration to avoid "multiple values for argument 'name'" errors.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-01-26
+
+### Added
+- Initial foundation with ZenML + MCP integration.
+- Bridge servers for NeMo Curator and DataJuicer.
+- Basic CLI with `run`, `list-tools`, and `preview`.
+- Support for sequential pipelines.
