docs: add technical summary to MVVM pattern analysis
- Add concise technical summary section for supervisor presentation
- Include clear research question and direct answer (NO to MVVM)
- Provide evidence-based analysis with domain mismatch details
- Add pattern prerequisites comparison table
- Include authoritative evidence from MVVM creator
- Document current architecture strengths
- Provide clear recommendation and research impact assessment
- Structure content for 10-minute technical presentation

**Research Conclusion**: After comprehensive analysis including authoritative source research and detailed application evaluation, **MVVM does not fit this application's domain and requirements**. The current **Three-Level Architecture Pattern** is more appropriate for this CLI-based deployment automation tool.

## 📊 Technical Summary
14
+
15
+
### Research Question
16
+
17
+
Should we adopt the MVVM architectural pattern for the Torrust Tracker Deploy Rust application?
18
+
19
+
### Answer: **NO** - MVVM is not suitable for this application
20
+
21
+
### Key Findings
22
+
23
+
#### 1. **Domain Mismatch**
24
+
25
+
-**MVVM is designed for**: Interactive applications with complex UIs, data binding, and reactive user interfaces
26
+
-**Our application is**: CLI-based deployment automation tool with procedural workflows
- MVVM adds complexity without providing any benefits for CLI applications
43
+
44
+
#### 4. **Current Architecture Strength**
45
+
46
+
-**Three-Level Architecture** (Commands → Steps → Remote Actions) is optimal for deployment automation
47
+
- Excellent separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability
48
+
- Perfect domain alignment with deployment workflows
49
+
50
+
### Recommendation
51
+
52
+
**Maintain current Three-Level Architecture** - no changes needed. MVVM would introduce unnecessary complexity and abstractions that provide no value for deployment automation tools.
53
+
54
+
### Research Impact
55
+
56
+
-**Development**: Continue with current architectural approach
57
+
-**Documentation**: Formalize current pattern as "Three-Level Deployment Architecture"
58
+
-**Future**: Monitor for domain changes, but MVVM remains inappropriate even as application grows
