## [2026-01-28] Correction: Kafka JSON Structure
- **Action**: Corrected `docs/kafka_format.md` based on user feedback.
- **Details**:
  - **Shifted Parsing Responsibility**: Clarified that the upstream service performs the raw parsing.
  - **Structured Arrays**: Introduced `device_list`, `fault_list`, and `control_list` arrays in the JSON schema.
  - **Flattened Logic**: Backend no longer parses `udp_raw` for list items but iterates over the provided JSON arrays.
  - **Updated Examples**: Provided clear examples of nested JSON objects for devices and faults.
