Renders a Mermaid diagram from the provided code.

PROACTIVELY USE DIAGRAMS when they would better convey information than prose alone. The diagrams produced by this tool are shown to the user.

You should create diagrams WITHOUT being explicitly asked in these scenarios:

- When explaining system architecture or component relationships
- When describing workflows, data flows, or user journeys
- When explaining algorithms or complex processes
- When illustrating class hierarchies or entity relationships
- When showing state transitions or event sequences

Diagrams are especially valuable for visualizing:

- Application architecture and dependencies
- API interactions and data flow
- Component hierarchies and relationships
- State machines and transitions
- Sequence and timing of operations
- Decision trees and conditional logic

# Citations

- **Always include `citations` to as many nodes and edges as possible to make diagram elements clickable, linking to code locations.**
- Do not add wrong citation and if needed read the file again to validate the code links.
- Keys: node IDs (e.g., `"api"`) or edge labels (e.g., `"authenticate(token)"`)
- Values: file:// URIs with optional line range (e.g., `file:///src/api.ts#L10-L50`)

# Examples

Flowchart with clickable nodes:

```json
{
  "code": "flowchart LR\n    api[API Layer] --> svc[Service Layer]\n    svc --> db[(Database)]",
  "citations": {
    "api": "file:///src/api/routes.ts#L1-L100",
    "svc": "file:///src/services/index.ts#L10-L50",
    "db": "file:///src/models/schema.ts"
  }
}
```

Sequence diagram with clickable actors AND messages:

```json
{
  "code": "sequenceDiagram\n    Client->>Server: authenticate(token)\n    Server->>DB: validate_token()",
  "citations": {
    "Client": "file:///src/client/index.ts",
    "Server": "file:///src/server/handler.ts",
    "authenticate(token)": "file:///src/server/auth.ts#L25-L40",
    "validate_token()": "file:///src/db/tokens.ts#L10-L30"
  }
}
```

# Styling

- When defining custom classDefs, always define fill color, stroke color, and text color ("fill", "stroke", "color") explicitly
- IMPORTANT!!! Use DARK fill colors (close to #000) with light stroke and text colors (close to #fff)

# Output Format

Return:

1. The Mermaid diagram code in a ```mermaid code block
2. Citations mapping node IDs to file:// URIs

DO NOT override with custom colors or other styles. DO NOT use HTML tags in node labels.
