The XKCD-password-generator project follows a modular, pipeline-oriented architecture, primarily driven by its CLI interface. The CLI Interface & Orchestrator serves as the central control, initiating the process by parsing arguments and coordinating subsequent steps. It first engages the User Interaction & Configuration component for input validation and interactive prompts. Simultaneously, the Wordlist Management component handles the crucial task of loading and preparing wordlists. Both the validated configuration and the processed wordlists are then consumed by the Password Generation Core, which encapsulates all the complex logic for selecting words, applying various transformations (like casing), and assembling the final password. Finally, the generated passwords, along with any verbose reports from wordlist processing, are passed to the Output & Reporting component for display to the user. This clear separation of concerns facilitates maintainability and allows for a straightforward data and control flow, ideal for visual representation.
