Deploy to Production on Develop Push / deploy (push) Successful in 20sDetails
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).

A privacy-friendly help widget that answers visitor questions from the
site's own content and links to the full page — runs 100% in the browser,
no API, no server, no per-token cost.
- tools/build_search_index.py: parses every EN/MK/SI page into ~720
heading-level chunks per language -> assistant/index-<lang>.json
(lazy-loaded only when the chat is opened; gzips to ~80 KB).
- assistant.js: dependency-free BM25 search + multilingual stopword
filtering + a curated short-answer layer for common questions, plus an
accessible chat widget (role=dialog, keyboard, aria). CSP-safe (self only).
- assistant.css: scoped .msa-* styles in the site's teal palette;
responsive (full-screen panel on mobile).
- Injected on 208 pages (blog WIP excluded; picks it up when that lands).
Verified in a headless browser across EN/MK/SI: curated answers, search
fallback with correct ranking (rare terms win), correct deep links,
Cyrillic + Slovene diacritics, and zero console errors. Curated MK/SI
answers are machine-drafted — proofread before launch.

Site-wide health pass (excludes in-progress blog work). Verified with a
local server + headless browser: Timeline, homepage and gallery pages load
with zero console errors and no layout distortion.
Render bugs
- Timeline page (en/mk/si): fix ../../../ paths that overshot the site root,
so the main stylesheet and hero image load again.
- Meet Student Slovenia 2023 (en/mk/si): remove a <figure> referencing
event3-photo-11.png, an image that was never uploaded (broken image).
Performance
- Add intrinsic width/height to 1039 raster <img> tags to prevent layout
shift (CLS); 450 SVGs correctly skipped. Add a global
`img { max-width:100%; height:auto }` safety net so aspect ratio is
preserved and images never overflow.
- Preload the homepage hero (LCP) image on en/mk/si.
- Load Font Awesome non-blocking (media=print/onload swap) with a <noscript>
fallback, on 225 pages.
Accessibility
- Add aria-label to 57 unlabeled newsletter email inputs.
- Add an sr-only <h1> to the three "My Route" pages (had no h1).
- Add an .sr-only utility class.
SEO
- Add meta descriptions to legal/msos-hub/support pages (en/mk/si).
Note: MK/SI meta descriptions are machine-drafted and should be proofread
by a native speaker before considering them final.

- gtag.js injected on all 201 pages via tools/seo_inject.py + on 404.html
- Consent Mode v2 defaults all storage to 'denied' (EEA-safe: tag loads,
no tracking cookies until a consent banner grants analytics_storage)

- Add branded 1200x630 og-default.jpg; article pages use their hero as
og:image, others use the default
- Wire the existing (previously unlinked) favicon set into every page
- Add branded 404.html with root-absolute paths + noindex
- Emit Article + localized BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on all article pages
- Convert 74 heavy served photos to WebP (28MB -> 8.5MB, -70%), rewrite
references, add loading=lazy/decoding=async to below-fold images and
fetchpriority=high to heroes (protect LCP)
- Stop tracking images/original/ (458MB of unused source masters; kept on
disk, gitignored) and ignore .playwright-mcp/
