The CRITICAL/HIGH impact badge (and optional NEW pill) was absolutely
positioned top-right, so a long celeste category/title could slide
underneath it and become unreadable. Make the badge an in-flow,
right-aligned fit-content pill on its own line, with the NEW pill as a
flex sibling — impact, title and NEW can no longer overlap at any width.

The Trending section felt sparse (6 + 4 cards). Make it much denser while
keeping the page manageable:
- Lane 1 "Trending Now": select up to 16 category-diverse fresh items.
- Lane 2 "Rising this Quarter": select up to 12 sustained-momentum items.
- Each lane shows the first N cards (9 / 6) and tucks the rest behind a
pure-CSS, no-JS "Show N more" / "Show less" disclosure (checkbox-hack +
general-sibling combinator), scoped per lane via a .trending-lane wrapper.
- New .trending-card--extra (hidden by default, fade-in on reveal) and
.trending-showmore pill styles, with slate-theme variants.
The two lanes remain de-duplicated by URL (verified: 16 + 12 cards, zero
overlap) and lane 2 keeps its sustained signal (bpftrace, OpenTelemetry,
Gateway API, Vault, Argo CD, Ray, ...). Verified the toggle in a real
browser via Playwright: 9->16 cards on click, label flips correctly.
Generator + CSS change; the docs/ CSS edit auto-triggers the 04.1 publisher

Extract lane selection/rendering into reusable helpers (_select_lane,
_render_cards) and add a second momentum lane below "Trending Now":
- "📈 Rising this Quarter — Sustained Momentum": 6-month digest window
with a soft 60d half-life (vs 21d for lane 1), so it favours resources
with sustained relevance rather than just the freshest items.
- De-duplicated against lane 1 by URL, so the two lanes surface different
resources (verified: FinOps / NVIDIA device-plugin / Ruff / vLLM with
real star counts, no overlap with the Trending lane).
- New .trending-section__title--secondary style (divider + lighter weight).
Generator-only change; CI publisher (04.1) regenerates v2-docs.

Rework the V2 'Trending Now' section so it reflects real momentum instead
of pinning evergreen/foundational tools:
- Hybrid ranking: impact_weight x recency_decay (21d half-life) so fresh
items surface and the section rotates between releases (date was shown
but never used to rank before).
- Diversity quota: at most one card per digest category, then backfill —
replaces the old impact-only sort that filled all slots with the 2-3
highest-volume categories.
- Real momentum signal: join each item with the inventory by URL and show
the live GitHub star count (e.g. 38.2k★); fall back to the 1-5 Gemini
score only when no gh_stars. Adds a 🆕 NEW pill for items <= 7 days old.
- Clean titles: strip github.com/owner/ paths and 'domain.tld:' prefixes
(no more 'github.com: Istio' or raw repo slugs).
- Fix star-render bug ('🌟'*stars or 0 printed a literal 0 when stars=0).
Generator-only change; CI publisher (04.1) regenerates v2-docs.

Render a true colour-matrix heatmap on the Topic Map page (distinct from
the size-based Label cloud on index/Tags). One tile per category, grouped
by strategic dimension, with tile warmth (.th-1..6) encoding how many
AI-curated resources it holds. Log scale since counts span ~1..160.
The existing directory grid is preserved below a new "Full Category
Directory" heading. Generator-only change; the publisher regenerates
topic-map.md. CSS adds .topic-heatmap / .topic-heatcell with light + slate
palettes.

The nb-quicknav popovers are positioned via explicit CSS anchor-positioning
pairs (anchor-name on the button + position-anchor on the menu) keyed per
popover id. The two new menus (nb-pop-guide, nb-pop-videos) had no such
pairs, so their popovers opened unanchored (wrong position / "broken").
Add the missing anchor-name/position-anchor pairs and bump the CSS
cache-buster to 2.9.42.

Render a weighted "popular labels" cloud at the top of tags.md: every
label is listed alphabetically and sized/coloured by how many resources
carry it (log scale, 6 levels) so the most-used tags read biggest and
warmest. Each label anchors to its section below for jump-to-filter.
- v2_optimizer: emit .v2-tag-heatmap block in _generate_global_tag_index
- v2_elite.css: .v2-heat-1..6 size + warmth ramp (light + slate)

Addresses the OpenShift 'lío' (ocp3 deprecated · openshift overview · ocp4
current 29-link page) and groups the Kubernetes distributions:
- OpenShift is now a nested submenu inside the Kubernetes menu (OpenShift ▸ →
OpenShift 4 (current) · Overview · OpenShift 3 (legacy)), so the substantial
ocp4 page is finally reachable. Reuses the AWS nested-submenu mechanism.
- Distros/platforms grouped at the end of the Kubernetes menu: Managed K8s ·
OpenShift ▸ · Rancher · Distros & Alternatives (kubernetes-alternatives moved
here and relabeled). Rancher was already present.
- Switched the 2-column Kubernetes menu from CSS multicol to a deterministic
column-major grid (11 rows × 2 cols) with overflow:visible / max-height:none,
eliminating the sub-pixel balancing remainder that left a faint scrollbar.
Verified in Chrome 148 (Playwright + screenshot): menu renders as a clean 2-col
card with NO scrollbar at viewport heights 768–1080; the OpenShift submenu opens
to the side, stays on-screen, and keeps the parent open. Cache-bust ?v=2.9.38.
V2-only.

The Kubernetes dropdown was the only menu tall enough (22 items) to need a
scrollbar (overflow-y on an anchor-positioned popover), which made it open/behave
unreliably compared to the others. Two fixes:
- The Kubernetes menu now uses a 2-column layout (column-count:2), halving its
height (~731px → ~353px) so it shows in full WITHOUT a scrollbar at any
realistic viewport. Multicol is column-major, so reading order is preserved.
- Removed flip-block from the menu position-try fallbacks (kept flip-inline):
the quick-nav is a sticky top bar, so a tall menu flipped above would shoot
off the top of the screen. Menus now always open downward.
Verified in Chrome 148 (Playwright): Kubernetes menu opens with no scrollbar and
stays fully on-screen at viewport heights 700–1080; all 11 menus + the nested
AWS submenu still open correctly; bar stays one row to 1280px. Cache-bust
?v=2.9.37. V2-only.

Full category-driven reorganization of the quick-nav per the agreed taxonomy:
one direct pill (Topic Map) + 11 thematic dropdowns that group related topics
together so every destination has a sensible home.
Digest · Kubernetes (Overview · Docker · Tools · Helm · kubectl · all
kubernetes-* · Managed · OpenShift · Rancher) · Delivery (GitOps · CI/CD ·
DevOps · Argo · Flux · Tekton · Jenkins · …) · IaC (Terraform · IaC · Ansible
· Pulumi · Crossplane · Kustomize) · Cloud (AWS ▸ nested submenu · Azure · GCP
· Serverless · FinOps · Edge · …) · Network · Security · Observability & SRE ·
AI & Data · Dev & Platform · More
- Docker now lives inside Kubernetes; CI/CD + GitOps + DevOps share Delivery;
Terraform + IaC share the IaC menu (as requested).
- AWS is a NESTED submenu inside Cloud (Cloud → AWS ▸ → 8 AWS pages), built with
nested Popover API + explicit anchor() side-positioning (position-area's
horizontal axis isn't honored when the anchor is inside another popover;
left:anchor(right)/top:anchor(top) fixes it). Submenu keeps the parent open;
flip-inline fallback near the right edge.
- Pages may appear in more than one menu where it aids discovery.
- Menus get max-height:82vh + overflow-y for the tall Kubernetes menu.
Verified in Chrome 148 (Playwright): all 11 menus open below + fit viewport; the
AWS submenu opens to the side with the parent kept open; bar stays one row to
1280px. Cache-bust ?v=2.9.36. V2-only.

Data-driven expansion (ranked by per-page link count + relevance):
- New 📊 Digest menu: Tech & Cloud Digest + Industry & Geo Digest (was a single
pill; now pairs both editions).
- New 🧰 K8s menu: Kubernetes Tools (144 links) · Helm · Managed K8s · OpenShift
· Tutorials — the Kubernetes ecosystem, which the portal is centered on.
- ☁️ Cloud += Serverless · FinOps.
- 🌐 Network += Service Mesh (the category alongside Istio; Istio emoji → ⛵).
- ⚙️ Ops += IaC · Developer Portals.
- ⋯ More += Technical Tags (1355 links) · Demos (102).
38 destinations total across 6 direct pills + 7 Popover menus. Added explicit
anchor pairs for the two new menus. Chip font trimmed to 0.62rem + tighter
gap/padding so all 13 bar chips still fit one row down to ~1280px. Verified in
Chrome 148 via Playwright: all 7 menus open below their button, stay on-screen
(right-edge flip), and close on Esc. Cache-bust ?v=2.9.33. V2-only.

Two fixes to the hybrid quick-nav shipped in v2.9.31:
1. Popover menus did not visibly open on click. Root cause: the menus used
`position-area: bottom span-inline-end`, which mixes a physical keyword
(bottom) with a logical one (span-inline-end) — invalid, so it computed to
`none` and the menu fell back to its static position on top of the button.
Additionally the popover's implicit anchor was not resolving. Fixed by using
a valid all-physical `position-area: bottom span-right` and declaring explicit
anchor-name / position-anchor pairs per button↔menu, so each menu reliably
drops below its trigger and auto-flips (span-left) near the right edge.
Verified in Chrome 148 via Playwright: all five menus open on real click,
render below the button, stay within the viewport, and close on Escape.
2. The bar wrapped to a second row at common widths. Reduced the chip font
~1pt (0.7rem → 0.64rem) and trimmed the column-gap/padding so all 7 pills +
5 menus fit a single row down to 1280px viewports.
Bumps v2_elite.css cache-bust to ?v=2.9.32. V2-only, template/CSS only.

Collapses the 25-destination quick-nav from 3 wrapped rows to a single slim row
that stays one row regardless of how many destinations are added.
Structure:
- 7 direct one-click pills for the most-used flagships: Topic Map, Digest,
Kubernetes, Docker, GitOps, Terraform, AI & MCP.
- 5 category menus for the long tail, built with the native HTML Popover API +
CSS Anchor Positioning (Baseline 2026), zero JS:
☁️ Cloud (AWS · Azure · GCP) · 🌐 Network (Networking · Istio · K8s Net)
· 🔐 Security (K8s Security · DevSecOps)
· ⚙️ Ops (CI/CD · Observability · SRE · DevOps)
· ⋯ More (Videos · Ansible · Messaging · MLOps · Methodology · V1 Archive)
Why this design: keeps the hot paths at one click (the project's whole value),
while the rarely-used clusters fold away — so the bar never grows past one row.
Popover API gives free Esc / click-outside dismissal and focus management and
works identically on touch and desktop; menus drop below their button via
position-area with flip fallbacks, animate in via @starting-style, and rotate
their caret using :has(). prefers-reduced-motion honored. All 25 destinations
preserved. Bumps v2_elite.css cache-bust to ?v=2.9.31. V2-only.

Expands the quick-nav bar to 21 destinations and restyles it as a modern,
centered chip bar. Adds CI/CD, Terraform-adjacent Ansible, and the three
hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), and reorders every tab into related category
clusters with short labels (even where the page title is long):
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)
Visual upgrade (CSS, modern Chrome):
- Pill chips instead of plain text links — more scannable.
- Chip background/border/glow derived from the theme accent via color-mix()
(in srgb), so the bar restyles automatically with the palette.
- Centered wrapping rows (justify-content: center) — balanced across 2-3 rows
at 21 items vs a ragged last row when left-aligned; the repeated ☁️ visually
groups the three cloud providers.
- Hover lift (translateY) + accent glow; :focus-visible outline for a11y;
prefers-reduced-motion honored.
- Logical properties (margin-inline / padding-inline); mobile collapses to a
single horizontal-scroll row with the scrollbar hidden.
Bumps v2_elite.css cache-bust to ?v=2.9.29. V2-only; no page regeneration.

Adds a thin horizontal bar below the header (on every page) with 6 curated
one-click destinations: Topic Map, Intelligence Digest, Video Hub, AI & MCP,
Methodology, V1 Archive. Implemented by overriding Material's [3g
H H H H H H H H H H
block
(empty since navigation.tabs is disabled) + .nb-quicknav CSS — so it gives the
persistent cross-page shortcuts that previously only existed as badge cards on
the home, WITHOUT the 18-tab overflow and WITHOUT collapsing the full left
navigation tree. Template/CSS only (no page regeneration); V2-only (V1 uses the
stock theme). Cache-bust v2_elite.css?v=2.9.27.

The in-page filter widget (v2_filter.js) auto-injects wherever the page has
<ul><li> items. Topic Map lists category links (with counts) and Methodology
lists legend rows — neither carries .md-tag maturity tags, so the tag pills
filtered to zero and the 'X of Y resources' counter mis-counted categories as
resources. Added both pages to the widget's h1-based skip-list. Bumped
v2_filter.js?v=2.9.19.

generator, the committed page, and update the CSS selector

Declutter the V2 landing page into a curated entry point and move the
full category directory and reference legends to dedicated pages.
Home (index):
- Move "Trending Now / Digest" above the signature YouTube mosaic (fix
inverted altitude: fresh, dynamic content first).
- Replace the ~130-link "Strategic Dimensions" dump with a "Topic Map"
badge card + a slim reference footer (Topic Map · Methodology · Videos).
- Frame the mosaic with a "The Cloud Native Universe We Track" heading.
New generated pages:
- topic-map.md — full category directory by dimension in a responsive
multi-column CSS grid, with per-category resource counts.
- methodology.md — Maturity Taxonomy + Technical Impact legend tables
(moved out of the home).
Mosaic (kept as brand signature, reinforced):
- Surface the per-group category labels that were hidden in title=.
- loading="lazy" on the ~150 channel logos (LCP/perf win).
about.md videos:
- youtube-nocookie.com + loading="lazy" + responsive aspect-ratio wrapper.
Config & cleanup:
- Disable navigation.expand (169-entry nav stayed fully open); the Topic
Map page now serves as the full directory.
- Branded 404 page with clear ways back (Home / Topic Map / V1 Archive).
- Hoist repeated inline styles (hero badge row) into CSS classes.

Fix: the per-page resource search box with maturity tag-pills stopped
appearing after navigation.instant was enabled (DOMContentLoaded fires only
on first SPA load). Reworked v2_filter.js to init via Material's document$
observable with a DOMContentLoaded fallback, guard double-injection, bind the
clickable-tag delegation once, and add a no-results state. Cache-bust ?v=2.9.12.
Change: removed the duplicated Markdown "## Table of Contents" from all 156 V2
content pages and from v2_optimizer.py — it forced hundreds of links of scroll
on large pages. Replaced by Material's native sticky "On this page" TOC
(removed toc.integrate, added toc.follow). tags.md keeps its TOC (it is an index).

The four logo hero cards use a 100px <img>; the Intelligence Digest card
uses an emoji <div class=hero-badge-icon> that was only ~32px tall, so it
rendered shorter. Give .hero-badge-icon a 100px flex-centered box (and
matching 12px bottom margin) so all five cards are the same height.
Cache-bust bumped to ?v=2.9.7.

Removed `content-visibility: auto` on broad <ul>/<ol> selectors and
.v2-tag-section. On the slate (dark) theme it produced black flashes
while scrolling and made link lists below the index mosaic appear
collapsed/broken due to intrinsic-size mismatch causing scrollbar jumps.
The tags page already uses collapsed <details> (native render skipping),
so the optimization was redundant and harmful.
Bumped CSS cache-bust to ?v=2.9.2.

1. geo_region inference: _infer_geo_from_url() infers Americas/Europe/España/Asia-Pacific
from URL TLD (.es .de .fr .uk .jp .cn etc.) as fallback when geo_region field is empty.
Industry digest now shows real content instead of empty categories.
2. Last-updated badge: trending section header now shows "Updated Jun 19, 2026" pill
derived from news_digest.json mtime — gives readers confidence in freshness.
3. Search boost: tech-digest and industry-digest pages now have search.boost: 2
frontmatter so they rank higher in MkDocs Material site search.
4. RSS feed (src/rss_generator.py): generates v2-docs/feed.xml with top-20 curated
picks from 3-month digest. Runs after news_digest in publisher. Autodiscovery
<link rel="alternate"> added to v2-mkdocs.yml extra_head.
5. Weekly cron (09.weekly_digest.yml): runs every Monday 06:00 UTC, generates digest
with Gemini, renders digest pages, commits, then triggers publisher.
