sidebar accordion: opening a topic auto-unfolds its branch and folds the others back (active-branch-open logic + syncNavAccordion on navigation); caret ~2x larger (18px)
nav/ToC refinements: sidebar article-parents now visually identical to leaf items (weight 300, same indent); larger/clearer fold caret; front Contents tree fully unfolded by default; file-tree connector lines linking subtopics to parents
home/nav polish: click article-parent row to open (caret-only toggle); drop confusing written/total counts; article-parents get the green dot + match leaf styling; Latest updates moved below Contents; sources show title (id demoted to end), with a frontmatter-title fallback for the flaky /v1/sources
nav/tree: move fold indicator to the right + de-emphasize article-parents to read as normal entries; acronyms get an instant styled tooltip (replacing slow native title) + define SDPO/TDPO
fix: render article-with-children nodes (topics/x.md + topics/x/sub.md) as linked expandable branches in sidebar+Contents; linkify inline-code topic-path cross-refs; correct rollup counts for a node that is both an article and a parent
nav+home: render arbitrary-depth topic hierarchy β sub-categories nest in the sidebar (collapsed by default beyond level 2) and in the Contents tree (rollups recurse). Was flattening 3+ level paths.
sources: coverage facet β show how many sources are woven into articles vs orphaned (never cited), with a 'not yet cited' filter to surface the integration backlog
figures: resolve relative image src to the dataset (so  renders), light matte for legibility in dark mode, applied in article + book views
topic layout: drop right rail β Contents + Open questions as collapsibles at top, Open questions + Sources-cited references at bottom; add figure/SVG rendering support
landing: Contents tree β full topic hierarchy with rollup word + reference counts at each level (root total, per-category rollup, per-article), collapsible; replaces the flat map
