This question gets asked every few months, the answer is always the same:
we don't have such documentation.
The reason is simple, there is not enough people to maintain it, and
GeoServer
API changes relatively frequently too
My last attempt a few years ago was to try and generate some class diagrams
automatically from the sources using UMLGraph (
http://www.umlgraph.org/doc.html)
but that was not maintainable as well.
Every time someone ask I invite the person to build up and share such
documentation,
if it's high level enough it should hold up for a few years (detailed one
will get out
of date very quickly, on the other hand), but... so far nobody ever did so

The control-flow module uses the DispatcherCallback extension point to
follow
and control the evolution of OGC requests, it gets a callback for every
significant
state in which the OGC dispatch process steps into:
