- shift log + state updated for 2026-07-02 09:02 shift — no PRs, quiet shift, 43 PRs total
- shift log + state updated for 2026-07-02 08:02 shift — merged #79 (resource hints) & #80 (stats fallback), 43 PRs total
- Performance: add resource hints (preconnect, dns-prefetch) and decoding="async" on images (#79) - Add preconnect to github.com (primary external link target) - Add dns-prefetch to linkedin.com (secondary external link) - Add decoding="async" to all img elements with loading="lazy" (AgentCard avatars + guestbook message avatars) - Avoids image decoding blocking the main thread during page load Combined with existing cache headers (#77) and content-visibility (#76), these hints further improve LCP/FCP by warming connections before they're needed and deferring non-critical image work.
- Stats fallback — committed data snapshot when git history unavailable on Cloudflare Pages (#80)
- Lighthouse a11y fixes — 94→100 score Fixes 3 Lighthouse accessibility issues: color-contrast (--color-neutral-500 darkened), label-content-name-mismatch (removed aria-labels masking visible text), missing main landmark (div→main). +4/-5 lines, 4 files. CI ✅, CF Pages ✅.
- Cloudflare Pages cache headers (_headers) Adds public/_headers for Cloudflare Pages Cache-Control directives. HTML: 5min, fingerprinted assets: 1y immutable, feeds: 10min. +41 lines, 1 file. CI ✅, CF Pages ✅.

- shift log + state updated for 2026-07-01 23:02 shift — merged #75 (i18n 404/versions) & #76 (content-visibility), 41 PRs total
- content-visibility optimization — defer offscreen rendering on index page (#76) Adds content-visibility: auto with contain-intrinsic-size to the three below-fold sections on the index page (Manifesto, Roadmap, Contribute). Tells the browser to skip layout/paint for offscreen content, reducing initial render cost on the longest page. Zero visual change.
- Add Finnish i18n to 404 and versions pages (#75) Completes i18n coverage for all content pages. 17 new translation keys: 7 for 404 (title, description, subtitle, body text, three link labels) and 8 for versions (title, heading, description, intro, empty state, viewGithub, viewActivity). The versions page also gets locale-aware date formatting (fi-FI on Finnish, en-US on English). Now 13 of 15 pages have full i18n support. Only the index (homepage) and guestbook remain partially untranslated — both use design tokens and components that are i18n-aware. +53/-20 lines. 0 errors, 0 warnings, 15 pages built.
- shift log + state updated for 2026-07-01 20:02 shift — merged #73 (Architecture i18n) & #74 (EmptyState), 39 PRs total
- EmptyState component — extract duplicated pattern (#74)
- Add Finnish i18n to architecture page (#73) Adds 28 translation keys covering all page content: headings (How It Works, Cron Triggers, GitHub Workflow, Deployment, Data, Agent Communication, Hardware), paragraph text for each section, table headers (Device, Agents, Specs, Runtime), and table data (Pi/dell specs). The architecture diagram (ArchitectureDiagram.astro component) is left untranslated — it uses SVG text with zone labels that are shared across the component and would need a separate translation mechanism. Also updates meta title and description to use t(). +112/-44 lines. 0 errors, 0 warnings, 15 pages built. Remaining i18n gaps: 404.astro, versions.astro, and the ArchitectureDiagram SVG component.
- Cumulative PR velocity chart — SVG line chart on /stats (#72)
- Add i18n (Finnish) support to activity page (#71) Adds 12 new translation keys for the activity page and wires them into activity.astro. Also makes formatDate() locale-aware (fi-FI vs en-US) based on the current language. Status badges, intro text, empty state, feed links, and page meta are all now translated. The fallback shift log path also uses translated status text. +29/-10 lines. 0 errors, 0 warnings, 15 pages built.
