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.

- Enrich each page's meta description with its top-ranked resource names
(long-tail keywords) instead of a pure template — e.g. 'Top Kubernetes
resources for 2026, AI-ranked: Helm, kube-prometheus and more — curated Cloud
Native tools, guides and references.' URL/path-like and emoji-laden titles are
filtered out; pages whose top links are all URL-like fall back to the clean
template. Capped at ~160 chars on a word boundary.
- Enable git-revision creation dates (enable_creation_date: true) so every page
footer shows both 'Created' and 'Last update' — an age/freshness signal.
Verified locally: descriptions are clean, tool-named, 126-151 chars; the footer
renders both dates. Pages pick up the new front-matter on the next Publisher run.

Every V2 page previously fell back to the identical global site_description
(duplicate meta descriptions = SEO penalty across ~140 pages). The generator now
emits a unique description: front-matter per page — derived from the page title
and its strategic dimension — which Material renders as <meta name=description>
and og:description. Topic Map and Methodology get tailored descriptions too.
Also add v2-docs/robots.txt (deployed at the site root) allowing full crawl and
referencing both the V2 (root) and V1 (/v1/) sitemaps.
Verified locally: each built page now carries a distinct meta description, and
robots.txt lands in the build output. The ~140 generated pages pick up their
front-matter on the next V2 Publisher run.
Note: the 12 redirect-stub pages (chef->ansible, react->javascript, ...) were
left as-is — they already 0s meta-refresh redirect with canonical pointing at
the target, which is better SEO than noindex (and the redirects plugin would
overwrite any front-matter anyway).

The Technical Tags Index TOC was a flat 80-entry numbered list that buried the
8 meaningful maturity tags under a long tail of one-resource 'X Content'
language tags, with colliding anchors (C / C# / C++ all -> #c-content) and a
'1 resources' grammar bug.
- Group the TOC: 'Maturity and Quality' as a clean numbered list; 'Technical
Domains' and 'Language and Format' as compact, count-sorted inline pill rows.
- Precompute unique, explicit heading anchors ({#slug}) shared by the TOC and
the section headers (c-sharp-content, c-plus-plus-content, dedup counter),
fixing the collisions.
- Correct singular/plural ('1 resource').
- Filter non-language language values (En, Not Applicable, Multi-Language,
Polyglot, ...) so they no longer create meaningless tag buckets.
Validated: 0 markdownlint errors on the regenerated tags.md.

- Add a Database Architecture diagram (YAML + SQLite coexistence: inventory.sql
source-of-truth, in-memory SQLite, inventory.yaml mirror, schema) in 6.1.3,
inside a collapsible <details>.
- Add a full Data Lifecycle diagram (discovery -> ingestion -> maintenance/
enrichment -> render -> deploy + GC) in 6.3, inside a collapsible <details>.
- Fix mermaid text overflow in the Division-of-Labor, Agentic Data Flow, Debate
Protocol and Deployment Lifecycle diagrams by wrapping long node labels with
<br/>; remove a duplicate Z-->B edge.
- Add a 'V2 Home Restructure and SEO (v2.9.16-v2.9.20)' section documenting the
Topic Map & Methodology pages, per-page last-updated dates, JSON-LD, branded
404, privacy-friendly embeds and deterministic generated artifacts.
