Update and organize documentation

- Renamed all uppercase markdown files to lowercase for consistency
  - ARCHITECTURE.md -> architecture.md
  - DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md -> developer-guide.md
  - TIMESTAMP_EVENTS_GUIDE.md -> timestamp-events-guide.md
  - SERIALIZATION_NOTES.txt -> serialization-notes.txt

- Removed all Raft references from documentation
  - Updated build-fixes-summary.md
  - Updated testing-guide.md
  - Updated test-infrastructure.md
  - Updated simulation-builder-framework.md

- Created index.md for easy documentation navigation
  - Organized docs by category (Architecture, Testing, GUI Decoupling, etc.)
  - Added quick links for different user types
  - Included documentation standards and contribution guidelines

All documentation is now consistent and up-to-date with the current codebase.

-### 4. Fixed Failing Test
-- Fixed `VSRaftProtocolTest.testClientBehavior` which was expecting behavior that doesn't exist
-- The test was expecting `getTime()` to be called in `onClientStart()`, but the Raft protocol's client start method is empty

 ## Results
 - ✅ `mvn clean package` now builds successfully
 - ✅ All 141 unit tests pass

+# DS-Sim Documentation Index
+
+Welcome to the DS-Sim (Distributed Systems Simulator) documentation. This index provides easy navigation to all available documentation.
+
+## Architecture & Design
+
+- [**architecture.md**](architecture.md) - System architecture overview with component diagrams and design patterns
+- [**architecture-diagrams.puml**](architecture-diagrams.puml) - PlantUML source for architecture diagrams
+- [**developer-guide.md**](developer-guide.md) - Comprehensive guide for developers working with DS-Sim
+
+## Testing
+
+- [**testing-guide.md**](testing-guide.md) - Complete testing guide including unit tests and protocol simulations
+- [**test-infrastructure.md**](test-infrastructure.md) - Details about the headless testing infrastructure
+- [**message-count-verification.md**](message-count-verification.md) - Guide to message counting and verification in tests
+
+## GUI Decoupling Project
+
+- [**gui-decoupling-summary.md**](gui-decoupling-summary.md) - Overview of the GUI decoupling initiative
+- [**gui-decoupling-plan.md**](gui-decoupling-plan.md) - Original plan for decoupling GUI from core logic
+- [**gui-decoupling-status.md**](gui-decoupling-status.md) - Current status of GUI decoupling implementation
+- [**decoupling-implementation-guide.md**](decoupling-implementation-guide.md) - Implementation details and patterns
+
+## Features & Frameworks
+
+- [**simulation-builder-framework.md**](simulation-builder-framework.md) - Programmatic simulation creation without GUI
+- [**timestamp-events-guide.md**](timestamp-events-guide.md) - Guide to implementing timestamp-triggered events
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+- [**build-fixes-summary.md**](build-fixes-summary.md) - Summary of build fixes and Maven configuration
+- [**serialization-notes.txt**](serialization-notes.txt) - Notes on DS-Sim's custom serialization format
+
+## Quick Links
+
+### For New Users
+1. Start with [architecture.md](architecture.md) to understand the system
+2. Read [developer-guide.md](developer-guide.md) for development setup
+3. Check [testing-guide.md](testing-guide.md) to run and write tests
+
+### For Contributors
+1. Review [gui-decoupling-summary.md](gui-decoupling-summary.md) for recent architectural changes
+2. See [test-infrastructure.md](test-infrastructure.md) for headless testing patterns
+3. Use [simulation-builder-framework.md](simulation-builder-framework.md) to create test simulations
+
+### For Protocol Developers
+1. Study [developer-guide.md](developer-guide.md) for protocol implementation patterns
+2. Learn about [timestamp-events-guide.md](timestamp-events-guide.md) for event handling
+3. Follow [testing-guide.md](testing-guide.md) to test your protocol
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+- All documentation files use lowercase names with hyphens (e.g., `developer-guide.md`)
+- Markdown files should include clear headings and code examples
+- Technical diagrams use PlantUML format for maintainability
+- Each document should be self-contained but reference related docs
+
+## Contributing to Documentation
+
+When adding new documentation:
+1. Use lowercase filenames with `.md` extension
+2. Add an entry to this index with a brief description
+3. Include the document in the appropriate section
+4. Ensure cross-references to other docs are accurate
