Grows the quick-nav bar to 25 destinations:
- New networking cluster (after cloud): 🌐 Networking · 🕸️ Istio · 🔗 K8s Net
- DevSecOps joins the security cluster: 🔐 Security · 🛡️ DevSecOps
Short labels as usual (K8s Net for Kubernetes Networking). Template-only change
to docs/overrides/main.html; reuses the existing .nb-quicknav pill styling, no
CSS change, no page regeneration, V2-only. All target pages verified and
mkdocs build -f v2-mkdocs.yml passes with all 25 links rendering.

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 the principal topic flagships to the slim quick-nav bar so the most
relevant destinations across all of Nubenetes are reachable in one click from
any page:
- Cloud-native pillars: Kubernetes, Docker, GitOps, Terraform,
K8s Security, Observability
- Ops disciplines: SRE, DevOps
- Data/messaging: Message Queue
- AI/ML: MLOps (next to the existing AI & MCP hub)
Layout groups discovery/meta hubs (Topic Map, Intelligence Digest, Video Hub),
then the pillar + ops + messaging topics, then the AI hubs (AI & MCP, MLOps) and
Methodology, with V1 Archive muted at the far right — 16 curated destinations
total, still under the 18-tab overflow line the bar was designed to avoid.
Reuses the existing .nb-quicknav__link styling (flex-wrap handles density on
narrow viewports); template-only, no CSS change, no page regeneration, V2-only.

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.

Two fixes following the tabs removal:
1) Nav was a FLAT list of 18 section labels with no expand/indent, because
navigation.sections rendered them as non-collapsible group labels and
navigation.prune stripped inactive children. Disabled both → the left
sidebar is now a proper COLLAPSIBLE, nested, indented tree (14 toggles,
chevrons, collapsed by default). No size penalty (88213 vs 88516 bytes).
2) Home had a single H2, so its right-hand 'On this page' TOC was empty. Added
'## Explore the Ecosystem' (badge cards) and '## Trending Now' (digest) to
join the existing '## The Cloud Native Universe We Track' — the home's right
TOC now lists three real sections.
Net effect: both side columns are now useful on every page, incl. the home —
left = full collapsible directory, right = per-page section map.

18 top-level sections overflowed the horizontal tab bar on a laptop (~3300px of
labels vs ~1400px viewport), forcing horizontal scroll to reach the right-side
dimensions, and left the sidebar nearly empty on top-level pages like the home.
Disabling navigation.tabs (+ .sticky) moves the sections into the standard
vertical left sidebar: it handles 18 collapsed sections via normal vertical
scroll, stays populated on every page (incl. the home), and nothing clips.
Verified: the home nav goes from 23 rendered links (mostly the tab bar) to the
full 178-link tree, with 0 tab elements. Theme-only change (the optimizer's nav
sync only rewrites the nav: block, so this is preserved).

Adds a second JSON-LD block per page (a schema.org CollectionPage tied to the
existing WebSite/Organization @graph) carrying the page name, description, URL,
and datePublished / dateModified fed by the git-revision-date plugin's raw ISO
dates. Enables richer search results (article/collection rich snippets) with
real freshness dates. Template-only change (docs/overrides/main.html), applied
at build time; the homepage is skipped (it is already the WebSite entity).
Verified: every content page emits a valid CollectionPage with both dates
(e.g. Kubernetes datePublished=2026-05-18 dateModified=2026-06-20); the home
carries only the WebSite+Organization graph.
