Build Process Watcher

Default Mode Setup

Generate Mermaid diagrams and SVG charts locally, at the end of the build:

- name: Build Process Monitoring
  uses: cdsap/build-process-watcher@0.3.0
 
- name: Build project
  run: ./gradlew clean build

Output: Check GitHub Actions artifacts for Mermaid diagrams, SVG charts, and log files

Remote Mode Setup

Enable live dashboard with real-time monitoring:

- name: Build Process Monitoring
  uses: cdsap/build-process-watcher@0.3.0
  with:
    remote_monitoring: 'true'
    
- name: Build project
  run: ./gradlew clean build

Output: Dashboard URL will be displayed in the action output (data available for 3 hours)

Two Monitoring Modes
