Problem

A journey view repeats the same call many times. The census journey has about 270 steps, mostly repeated Project and LibRootSearch calls. The diagram is unreadable.

Reproduce

n/a: found while recording os-sdlc journeys (step 7).

Approach

Required work:

Collapse consecutive identical steps in the journey view, with a repeat count — check: present count in plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/system_model/writer/journey_file.rb

Acceptance criteria

Given a journey with three identical consecutive calls, when the view is written, then it holds one step marked with a count of 3.
Given a journey with no repeats, when the view is written, then it is unchanged.

Origin

Trigger: system-model steps 7 and 8 (os-sdlc journeys, commit 8c28fd4f; course check in docs/system-design-format/README.md section 6)
Improvised this session: none
Chain: unreadable census diagram ← Writer emits one view step per recorded call ← DESIGN (plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/system_model/writer/journey_file.rb)
Root candidate: none found; searched journey, journey_file, Writer, pattern-landscape
Where: plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/system_model/writer/journey_file.rb
