Phase 4. Vendors the spine-authored hub (lnccbrown/HSSMSpine#48) and rebuilds the landing page around the two guided learning paths requested at the start of this workstream.

  • Two learning paths as grid cardsFit your first model (installation → quickstart → the HSSM tutorial → hierarchical modeling → hierarchical DDM regressions → model comparison, capstone: the scientific workflow) and Bring your own likelihood or model (likelihood kinds → ONNX contract → route table → your route's walkthrough → the low-level API). Every step is a page that exists today, each with a one-line promise of what you can do after it.
  • Landing page restructured: install moves above the fold (it was below a 9-bullet feature list), the two tutorial pointers that were an unheaded paragraph become the path cards, the feature list is rewritten around what you can do rather than what is implemented, and Support/Contributing/License consolidate under Community. Logo, badges, both intro paragraphs, the citation block, and the code example are kept verbatim.
  • /ecosystem/ hub — HSSM previously never mentioned the ecosystem it belongs to (grep-verified: ssm-simulators/LANfactory appeared only in the changelog and one how-to). The hub is vendored from the spine and linked under Home.
  • md_in_html added to markdown_extensions — required for grid cards, a core Python-Markdown extension, no new dependency (attr_list was already enabled and mkdocs-material ships the card CSS).
  • Positioning conflict resolved: the scientific-workflow tutorial claimed to be a "first look into HSSM" while the quickstart routes newcomers to the main tutorial — the path cards would have asserted an order the pages contradicted. It now names itself the capstone and defers to the main tutorial (typo discused fixed while there).

Verified: mkdocs build --strict green, ruff clean, grid cards render as Material's card structure in the built HTML, hub builds and appears in the sidebar.

Closes #1182

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation adds an ecosystem hub, an HDDM migration guide, structured homepage learning paths, updated tutorial positioning, and MkDocs navigation support.

Changes

Documentation navigation and onboarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ecosystem overview content
docs/ecosystem/index.md
Documents package responsibilities, artifact handoffs, ONNX requirements, documentation routing, MLflow tracking, compatibility requirements, and support guidance.
HDDM migration guidance
docs/explanations/coming_from_hddm.md
Documents parameter conversion, data migration, model specification, hierarchy, priors, sampling, result handling, and related tutorials.
Homepage onboarding structure
docs/index.md
Adds installation guidance, learning paths, ecosystem information, capabilities, citation, community links, and license information.
Site wiring and tutorial positioning
mkdocs.yml, docs/tutorials/scientific_workflow_hssm.ipynb
Adds navigation entries, enables md_in_html, and positions the scientific workflow tutorial for users with prior experience.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 4b5be

The PR reorganizes documentation and navigation without changing runtime behavior. One guide still overstates analytical likelihood support and HDDM-prior compatibility, which could mislead users about supported workflows; the change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/ecosystem/index.md`:
- Around line 45-53: Update the closing statement in the ONNX contract section
to describe exported ONNX artifacts produced through the documented LANfactory
export routes, rather than implying raw sbi or BayesFlow models can be loaded
directly. Keep the export step explicit while preserving the surrounding
contract description.
- Around line 74-89: Update the MLflow section to match the package
documentation: describe ssm-simulators as logging model/configuration, sample
and file totals, and configuration artifacts; describe LANfactory as logging
network configuration, metrics, model artifacts, and optional lineage through
--data-generation-experiment-id. Remove claims about config hashes, logged
training-data folders, and run UUIDs in artifact filenames, and add
MLFLOW_ARTIFACT_LOCATION for the shared SQLite-backed setup.

In `@docs/tutorials/scientific_workflow_hssm.ipynb`:
- Line 28: Revise the tutorial scope sentence in the introductory content to
clearly state that advanced features are deferred to the dedicated tutorials in
the documentation, replacing the unclear “shirking conceptually advanced
features” wording while preserving the surrounding readability guidance.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/explanations/coming_from_hddm.md`:
- Around line 67-72: Escape the literal pipe characters in the HSSM formulas
within the Markdown table, including the formulas for per-participant drift and
shared parameter structure, so Markdown treats each formula as a single cell and
markdownlint passes.
- Around line 95-100: Rewrite the “Priors” bullet to separate likelihood support
from prior behavior: state that analytical likelihoods are supported for ddm and
ddm_sdv, while full_ddm only supports blackbox likelihoods, then clarify that
HSSM’s documented default for t is HalfNormal(sigma=2.0) rather than a general
HDDM-derived prior set. Retain the link to specifying custom priors and fixed
parameters.
- Around line 18-21: Update the HDDM parameter-transfer guidance to make the
bounds for a likelihood-specific: identify (0.3, 2.5) as the LAN training bounds
for the approx_differentiable DDM likelihood, state that the analytical DDM
likelihood uses (0.0, inf), and remove the claim that (0.3, 2.5) is HSSM’s
general default or expected posterior range.
