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.

tools/build_blog.py converts a Markdown source into the site's scrollspy blog
article (title, header, hero, sidebar nav from ## headings, body). First output:
the new EN post "Where to search for student accommodation in Slovenia", added at
the top of the blog index (newest first), dated 2026-08-03, SEO injected.
MK/SI of this post and the rest of the blog batch (refresh 1-5, split trilingual
posts 2-4, personal essay post 7) still to come.

Add tools/build_listings.py: copies the top 3 cards from each language's News
hub into the homepage "Latest news" block (marker-wrapped), so editing the News
page now updates the homepage. The News hub stays the hand-edited source of truth
(it may hold curated teaser cards without a detail page).
Also: fix the Gallery meta description (was a copy of the FAQ text) and add a
durable gallery override to seo_inject.py; refresh llms.txt / links-for-bots.

- consent.js: self-contained, non-blocking bottom banner in EN/MK/SI,
remembers the choice in localStorage, links to the per-language cookie
policy. Accept -> gtag consent 'update' granted; Decline stays denied.
- Head GA snippet restores a returning visitor's prior "granted" choice
before the first hit; loads /consent.js on every page.
- Re-openable via window.msosOpenConsent() for a "manage cookies" link.
Verified in-browser: shows for new visitors, Accept grants + remembers,
reload keeps consent without re-prompting, Slovene text + /si/ policy link.

- 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 datePublished/dateModified to Article JSON-LD on the 11 dated
articles (curated once from EN, applied to all languages)
- Replace og-default.jpg with the official brand OG image (1200x630)
- Add docs/launch-seo-checklist.md (go-live steps: redirects, Search
Console, analytics, rich-result validation, monitoring)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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/

SEO (all 201 pages, en/mk/si):
- Inject canonical, hreflang (en/mk/sl + x-default), Open Graph, Twitter
cards and Organization JSON-LD via idempotent SEO:START/END block
- Generate multilingual sitemap.xml (xhtml:link alternates) + robots.txt
- Curated meta descriptions for lead-less pages (home, become-a-member,
faq, news hub, my-route); every page now has a description
- Absolute URLs target final domain msosorg.com, not the temp host
- Add reusable tools/seo_inject.py (+ README)
Content fixes:
- Translate about-us and timeline-and-milestones into MK + SI, wire up
their pages, and repair the previously-dead "Who We Are" nav links
across all mk/si pages
- Remove duplicate en/projects/makedonska-studentska-vecer-vo-ljubljana
(unreferenced; already covered by macedonian-student-night-in-ljubljana)
Locale correctness:
- Normalise Slovene pages to <html lang="sl"> (correct ISO 639-1)
- Map sl->si in main.js so the language-switcher highlight and newsletter
i18n keep working on Slovene pages (data-lang="si" still maps to /si/)
MK/SI translations and descriptions are AI-drafted; flag for native review.
