+
+### Changed
+- **Quick-nav redesign — centered category-grouped pill chips**: Grew the quick-nav bar to 21 destinations and restyled it as a modern, centered chip bar. Added CI/CD, Ansible, and the three hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), and reordered every tab into related category clusters with short labels: discovery (Topic Map · Digest · Videos) → platform (Kubernetes · Docker) → delivery (GitOps · CI/CD) → IaC (Terraform · Ansible) → cloud (AWS · Azure · GCP) → security → ops (Observability · SRE · DevOps) → data (Messaging) → AI/ML (AI & MCP · MLOps) → Methodology → V1 Archive (muted). Chip background/border/glow are derived from the theme accent via `color-mix(in srgb, …)` (Chrome 111+) so the bar restyles automatically with the palette; rows are centered (`justify-content: center`) for a balanced multi-row layout, with hover lift, `:focus-visible` outline, `prefers-reduced-motion` support, and a mobile single-row horizontal scroll. Touches `docs/overrides/main.html` + `docs/static/v2_elite.css` (cache-bust `?v=2.9.29`); V2-only, no page regeneration.
