New self-contained preferred-source.js (referenced site-wide via
seo_inject GA_LINES):
- small "Add us on Google" text link in the footer (.legal-links) on
every page, trilingual, using the domain deeplink;
- Google's official interactive pill (publisher.js) on the homepage,
News hub and Blog hub only, localized (en/mk/sl).
Lets readers mark MSOS as a preferred source (Top Stories / Discover /
News / AI surfaces). Cache-bust bump included.

- Warmer, accurate trilingual cookie-banner text to lift voluntary
opt-in (EN/MK/SI), keeping Accept and Decline equally one-click
(GDPR-compliant, no dark patterns).
- grant() now grants analytics_storage only; advertising consent stays
denied, matching what the banner discloses (MSOS runs no ads).
- Cache-bust bump so the updated consent.js is fetched.
(Cookie-withdrawal link already present in footer via msosOpenConsent.)

Adds the Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon to every page (injected in
GA_LINES alongside the GA tag). Cookieless and consent-free, so it
counts all visitors regardless of the cookie banner — complements GA4,
which only records consented sessions.

Clears the 3 non-critical Events issues in Search Console
("Missing field endDate/performer/offers") across all /projects/
recap pages. These are free, single-day events, so endDate mirrors
startDate, performer is MSOS (host org), and offers is a zero-price
Offer. Generated centrally in tools/seo_inject.py and re-injected.

Deploy to Production on Develop Push / deploy (push) Successful in 22sDetails
- Brand orange is now the official #FA7850 everywhere: folded the stray
oranges (#F2762E, #E8833A, #ff6b2c) into it and kept a single darker shade
(#E85D2A) for gradient depth + button hover. Added the official brand
--yellow (#FFE16E) token.
- Tablet header gap (769-1024px): the fixed header shrinks 80->60px there but
first-section paddings kept their 80px clearance; pull the first section up
by the 20px delta in that range only (phones untouched). Verified on
interior pages and the full-bleed homepage hero — gap now matches desktop,
no overlap.
- Re-stamped cache-bust (v=f95de694).

- Add :root design tokens in _typography.css (was empty) — brand teal/orange,
ink/text greys, radius + type scale + section rhythm. Visually neutral;
new rules can reference var()s instead of scattered literals.
- a11y: visible :focus-visible ring on header nav + dropdown links (keyboard
users had none).
- Fix synthesized faux-bold: .route-report h1 800 -> 700 (Inter loads 400-700).
- Testimonials column: overflow-y scroll -> auto (no permanent scrollbar gutter).
- Lightbox image radius 6px -> 8px (matches the site rounding scale).
- Consistent card affordance: homepage .news-card now lifts on hover like the
news-hub / blog cards.
- Re-stamped cache-bust (v=1f64b22f).
Deferred (needs a brand decision): unifying the two primary oranges
(#FA7850 vs #F2762E) and the fuller literal->token migration.

- Latest-news row and FAQ grid now go 3 -> 2 -> 1 columns (added a 1024px
tablet step); .news-card drops its brittle fixed 405.33px width and fills a
responsive grid cell. Fixes cramped 3-across cards on 769-1024px.
- Contrast: replace #98A2B3 text color (2.58:1 on white) with the palette
muted #667085 (~4.8:1) across 13 CSS files (31 text-color uses; borders/
backgrounds untouched, verified none on dark backgrounds).
- Re-stamped cache-bust (v=6770822f).
Note: the ~20px-looser header top-gap at 769-1024px is left as a minor,
lower-risk follow-up (would need a coordinated multi-page padding pass).

From the QA audit — high-impact, low-risk fixes:
- SI homepage hero: replace leftover template boilerplate subtitle
("timski nabiralniki"...) and truncated badge with proper Slovene copy
matching EN/MK.
- Footer: .footer-container was a hard width:1280px and got clipped by
overflow-x:clip on 769-1279px screens; now width:100%; max-width:1280px.
- WCAG AA contrast: darken orange text (.article-publish-date, .mm-real-link)
and the Ask-MSOS footer (.msa-foot) which were ~2.6-3:1 on white.
- iOS Safari focus-zoom: bump form/search/assistant inputs to 16px
(.ms-field, .msa-input, .filterbar-search-field).
- Re-stamped cache-bust (v=9ff60d7a).

Stops deploys being served stale from browser cache — the recurring "changes
do not show up until a hard refresh" problem.
- New tools/cache_bust.py stamps a global content hash onto every local
<link>/<script> CSS/JS ref AND the @import lines in css/main.css (so partial
edits bust too). External (https://) refs are untouched. Deterministic and
idempotent: same content -> same stamp, any asset edit -> new stamp sitewide.
- Wired as the final step of tools/build_site.py so every build/deploy stamps.
- Initial stamp applied across 259 pages + main.css (v=64a53dd6).

Replace event-placeholder.svg with real .webp photos across all 2025-2026
event/project pages (EN/MK/SI), updating OG/Twitter/JSON-LD image refs,
inline article images, and content/events/*.md. Also Latinize EN/SI titles
(e.g. "Kafanska večer") and drop empty "In numbers" TOC sections.

- New Press & media page in all three languages: press-enquiries contact,
a 6-way logo download grid (EN/SI/MK x colour/white), an "MSOS at a glance"
fact sheet (full legal name + preferred name), and a grouped coverage list
(media, universities & institutions, official records, reference, government)
with 29 verified third-party links, each described in EN/MK/SL.
- Styling in css/pages/_press.css (imported by main.css), on the site's tokens.
- Footer: added a "Press & media" link to the Organisation column on every page
(all languages, relative paths correct for each page depth).
- SEO/sitemap refreshed so the new pages carry NGO schema + hreflang.
MK/SI copy is AI-drafted and pending a native proofread.

Generative Engine Optimization pass so AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini,
Perplexity, AI Overviews) can confidently identify and cite MSOS.
Schema (tools/seo_inject.py, propagated to all 231 pages):
- FAQPage JSON-LD parsed from the /faq/ Q&A blocks (33 Q&A x EN/MK/SI)
- Organization upgraded to NGO with entity-disambiguation fields:
alternateName (all spellings), description, areaServed Slovenia,
knowsLanguage, and foundingDate 2023-03-05
- Event JSON-LD on all 9 /projects/ recap pages (date + real location)
Autonomous for future content (no code edits to add a project):
- Event/Article dates auto-read from the English page's publish date;
event city auto-detected from the body (Slovenian-city whitelist).
ARTICLE_DATES/PROJECT_LOCATIONS are now optional overrides only.
(Auto-detect corrected Paint & Wine to Nova Gorica.)
- build_listings.py: auto-date fallback so undated new content still lists
- pre-commit hook now runs seo_inject.py --all --sitemap first, then
listings/botlinks, and re-stages changed pages (idempotent)
Docs: docs/geo-offsite-worklist.md - copy-paste-ready off-site plan
(Wikidata, Wikipedia fixes, directories, Google Business, AI-visibility tests).

- Rework the About Us hero so the eyebrow, title and description are overlaid on
the auto-rotating team images (centred, white, text-shadowed) exactly like the
landing hero, instead of sitting in a separate white band above them. Remove the
old page-header band and move its text into the hero. All three languages.
- Rename the "Who We Are" menu item from "Our team" to "About Us"
(MK "За нас", SI "O nas") across all pages; footer "About us" link unchanged.

Previously /llms.txt and /links-for-bots/ existed but were not linked anywhere,
so users/bots couldn't find them. Following Proxify's pattern, add a "For bots"
footer column (all 225 pages, EN/MK/SI) linking to category link lists and an
AI summary page.
build_botlinks.py now also generates:
/links-for-bots/blog|guide|projects/ per-section link lists (EN/MK/SI)
/links-for-bots/about-msos/ "Hey AI, learn about us" summary
/links-for-bots/ hub + /llms.txt

Build full articles for "Learning Slovene", "Study in North Macedonia
(government scholarship)" and "Ad futura scholarship" in all three languages,
split from the trilingual Markdown sources (no machine translation). Dates
registered in ARTICLE_DATES and SEO re-injected per page. Blog index cards for
these already existed and now point to real content instead of stubs.
Hero images are placeholders pending topical photos.

- Footer disclaimer on every page (informative-only, verify with official sources)
- "Good to know" callout across all Student Welcome Guide pages, pointing to
the "Was this page helpful?" box for reporting errors
- "Website content & liability" disclaimer card on the Official information page
All three languages (EN/MK/SI).

New posts (Ad futura scholarship, learning Slovene, welcome days,
study in North Macedonia) across EN/MK/SI, plus blog index and _blog.css
updates. (Also carries the site-wide nav reorder and the illustrative-image
caption tag on the bank-account post.)
