✅ Completed Features
🎨 Sidebar & Component Unification (Feb 2026)
- Universal Navigation Card (
nav-card.html) - Single unified navigation engine handling flat pages with active TOCs, nested library documentation trees, category accordions (tools), and section chapters/subsections. - Universal Metadata Card (
list-card.html) - Fully editable key-value and page-parameter card configured viahugo.yaml(fields,items,header,icon). - Centralized Sidebar Orchestration (
composites/sidebar.html) - 100% layout-driven sidebar resolution configured inhugo.yamlwith zero hardcoded partials. - Consolidated Card Library - Removed 5 redundant legacy cards (
pages-nav-card,library-nav-card,tools-nav-card,section-card,section-meta-card) into 9 clean, non-overlapping components. - Sticky Sidebar Collision Fix - Fixed nested
position: stickybug causing cards to slide behind each other.
🖼️ Responsive Image Engine & Fallbacks (Feb 2026)
- Automated Responsive Picture Partial (
picture.html) - Generates WebPsrcsetat 480w, 768w, 1200w with lazy loading and async decoding. - Multi-Tier Fallback Mechanism - Missing images seamlessly fall back to default brand assets at build time; runtime
onerrorhandlers prevent broken link icons. - Author Bundle Avatars - Native page-bundle resolution for author profile images.
