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
to regenerate v2-docs on develop.

The second Trending lane previously reused lane 1's scoring formula (just a
softer half-life over a wider window), so it surfaced the same fresh/high-impact
items as lane 1 — effectively lane 1's leftovers under a "Sustained Momentum"
label. Verified: both lanes showed items aged 2-6 days.
Changes:
- _select_lane now takes a score_fn so each lane drives off a different signal.
- _fresh_score (lane 1): unchanged 21d-half-life freshness bias.
- _sustained_score (lane 2): rewards proven staying power (presence in the
12-month digest window) and de-prioritises <7d items (lane 1's job). Lane 2
now surfaces matured pillars — Prometheus, Flux, bpftrace, Backstage — with
zero overlap with lane 1.
- Suppress the 🆕 NEW pill in lane 2 (a "sustained" card flagged NEW is
contradictory; freshness is lane 1's signal).
- Anchor "now" to digest _meta.last_updated instead of wall-clock, so identical
digest input renders identical cards (no age/ordering churn on re-renders).
- Harden _select_lane against None/non-dict window entries (latent crash).
Generator-only change; CI publisher (04.1) regenerates v2-docs.

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).

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).

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.

Restructure the custom nb-quicknav header (docs/overrides/main.html):
- Replace the standalone "Topic Map" pill with a "Portal Guide" dropdown
grouping the dispersed orientation pages: Topic Map, Methodology,
Technical Tags, About.
- Add a "Videos" parent dropdown (right after Digest) with the video
category subpages (Video Hub, AI Agents & MCP, DevOps/IaC/SRE,
Cloud Native Core, Fundamentals), promoted out of the "More" menu.
- Trim "More" to the remaining misc entries: Demos, FAQ, Career, V1 Archive.

Revert navigation.tabs: removes the duplicate Material tab bar that was
stacking on top of the custom nb-quicknav header. Group orientation pages
under Portal Guide in the left nav.
The top tab bar forced Material to scope the left sidebar to the active
tab, which regressed the always-populated vertical nav. Revert
navigation.tabs (+ .sticky) so the left column behaves as before.
Apply the intended grouping in the (restored) left nav instead:
- New "Portal Guide" collapsible group: Topic Map, Methodology,
Technical Tags, About.
- about.md is pulled out of its Architectural Foundations dimension
(skipped in the generator's dimension loop) so it is not duplicated.
- Agentic Video Hub stays a prominent top-level group with its video
subpages (no longer hidden in a tab-overflow "...more" menu).

Extract the tag aggregation and heatmap rendering into shared helpers
(_aggregate_tags / _render_tag_heatmap) so the index and the Technical
Tags page derive identical, slug-stable tag metadata. The index now ends
with the full Label Heatmap right after the mosaic, with each label
deep-linking across to its /tags/#slug section (verified: 75 anchors,
0 dangling). The Tags-page heatmap is unchanged (same-page anchors).

Turn on navigation.tabs (+ .sticky) so the ~16 top-level sections render
as a pinned top tab bar in addition to the left sidebar, which stays and
scopes to the active tab. The earlier overflow concern is reduced by the
Topic Map grouping; Material falls back to horizontal scroll on narrow
viewports.

Navigation (v2_optimizer._sync_enterprise_navigation + v2-mkdocs.yml):
- "Topic Map" becomes a collapsible hub holding the three orientation
pages — Topic Map (section index), Methodology, Technical Tags — since
they are all about how the portal is structured.
- "Agentic Video Hub" is promoted above Intelligence Digest as a
prominent top-level dropdown, keeping its category subpages.
Video subpages (v2_video_portal):
- Drop the in-page "## Table of Contents" block; it duplicated Material's
native right-column "On this page" TOC (toc.follow), matching how the
topic pages already omit it. The technology ordering list is retained
internally to drive section render order.

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)
- bump CSS cache-buster to v2.9.39
