Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Process: Continuously and incrementally writing short design documents
I follow that approach in this open-source repo, and since PRs come from volunteers I've sometimes just updated the docs afterwards myself. But in a work situation you could be strict about it.

I've been programming in Java for 20 years. What would be some advanced java projects?
I made this language. It was a lot of fun, and has been very useful.

Declarative Data Transformations
If you're working in Java I would look at JSLT for the JSON transforms. (Disclaimer: I created JSLT, for a similar use case.)

Seeking a JSON file converter
You could use a transformation language like JSLT to write a transform, then apply it to all files. Not sure if that's suitable for you.

Show HN: Flyde – an open-source visual programming language
What you are describing sounds a lot like C4: https://c4model.com/

Ask HN: How do you document complex software systems?
The C4 model [0] provides a mostly sensible structure and techniques for representing pure software systems across different abstraction levels.
For systems involving software and hardware, or other complex interfacing (both technology and bureaucracy) this starts to delve into the universe of systems engineering. There's a decent assembly of knowledge on that in the SEBoK [1].
As another commenter has already called out too, one of the most valuable sources of information is also _why_ a system is in its current form and _how_ that's changed over time. ADR's [2] really do a good job at nailing this for just about any scale.

A View on Functional Software Architecture
There a various standards for documenting software architecture, like arc42 or C4. While useful and somewhat well-known (there is certainly a correlation here), here architecture documentation can be further simplified, particularly due to the self-similarity of project and component. Following is a small template, that can also serve as a project's and component's README:
- The C4 model for visualising software architecture

Inkscape Cloud Architect
I would suggest that if your architecture diagrams are a bunch of icons provided by AWS/Azure/GCP with lines pointing at each other... you are doing it wrong.
The 'what does this box do for my system' is vastly more important than the 'which in vogue offering from my cloud provider implements it'.
I highly suggest folks take a look at the C4 Model: https://c4model.com/

How to create interactive zoomable software architecture diagrams
We often use abstractions in software engineering to communicate complex architectures and software systems. In this article, we’ll discuss how abstractions are inherently hierarchical and how the C4 model provides a nested structure for defining your software architecture. We’ll then cover how IcePanel allows you to create interactive and zoomable diagrams for your audience to zoom in and out of different levels of technical detail.

Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
You probably want https://c4model.com/ which explains what a C4 architecture diagram is. (See the first footnote in the article.)

Do modern diagramming techniques play a crucial role in software development?
I looked at the book OP is talking about and it seems to be advocating 'C4' (https://c4model.com/). IMO this is the same kind of block diagrams we end up creating organically. I dunno that I'd call this 'modern' or anything special, it's just what everyone already does. I've done hundreds of these and not once has anyone ever mentioned 'C4' or anything being 'modern'.
