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.)

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).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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

MK/SI copy is AI-drafted and pending a native proofread.

About Us:
- Replace the appreciation photo with an Apple-style scrolling marquee that
focal-zooms the centred photo (main.js + _about.css); heading now sits above
the carousel; remove the "Have any questions?" FAQ CTA (EN/MK/SI).
Landing hero:
- Turn the flat blue overlay into a Proxify-style radial vignette (light centre
over the CTA, dark edges) and raise the "Become a member" button.
Filter bar (Events & Projects / Blog / News, EN/MK/SI):
- Add a shared Proxify-style rounded pill bar with a trailing search icon that
swaps to a search field and opens a results dropdown (thumbnail + category +
title). New css/pages/_filterbar.css + filter-search.js, layered on top of the
existing filter/pagination JS. Blog category icons preserved.
- Balance the News filter bar spacing between the header and the cards.
Student Welcome Guide:
- Widen the intro paragraphs, constrain the full-bleed disclaimer to a normal
centred width, and add space before the route configurator.

- Reusable "Photos from the event" grid (shows 5 thumbnails + "+N more") that
opens a full-screen lightbox (arrows / keyboard / swipe / Esc); added to the
Meet Student Slovenia 2024 post as the pattern
- New css/components/_lightbox.css + setupLightbox() in main.js (injects one
shared overlay, wires any .js-lightbox grid)
- Mobile polish: gallery albums go single-column on phones, two on tablets;
event-gallery grid 3-up on mobile; lightbox sizing/controls tuned for small
screens
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New multilingual Gallery page (en/mk/si) with 9 event albums and a
keyboard-accessible lightbox (prev/next scoped per album)

- New css/pages/_gallery.css + setupGallery() lightbox in main.js
- "Gallery" link added to the "What We Do" nav (desktop + mobile) site-wide
- Gallery URLs added to sitemap.xml with hreflang
- Landing "Every Student Has a Story": removed backdrop blur on the video
thumbnail, kept the bluish gradient tint
Note: images/original/ (458 MB of raw source photos, gitignored + unused by
the site) moved out of the working tree to reclaim disk.

MSOS Hub page:
- "What you can do here": Porsche-style vertical image cards in a
continuous auto-scrolling marquee with edge fades (real photos placeholders)
- "A glimpse of the space": full-bleed band of 4 connected photos
- "A space we built together": full-bleed image banner with blue gradient overlay
- "Made possible by": partner logo tiles (Cultural Association + Ministry);
processed Ministry + Cultural Association logos from source art
- Copy/spacing polish; removed em-dashes; larger section spacing; deeper
final-CTA gradient so it no longer blends into the footer
Branding / partners:
- Per-language MSOS logos (SVG) in header + footer across all pages
- Partner carousel: added Ministry (wide variant), Cultural Association,
Embassy of North Macedonia, and Spletni Mojster (width-capped); de-duplicated
logos within each marquee group so new logos appear sooner
Footer:
- Build credit line (Spletni Mojster + Kristijan), clean centered text
- Synced MK/SI footers to EN (added missing About us + Timeline links)
Landing page:
- FAQ short CTA already avatar design (FAQ page kept its Email/Viber block)
- Swapped blurry stock video thumbnail for the real team photo
- Removed the intentional hero-background blur
Navigation:
- Mobile menu: use 100dvh so the language selector is reachable with submenus open
- Desktop: dropdown parents no longer navigate to dead "/#" links
Language suggestion banner:
- Dismissible, browser-language based banner suggesting the matching locale;
remembers choice in localStorage and waits for the cookie-consent choice
to avoid overlapping the consent card
Removed stale *.html.bak backup files.
