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.
