Replace unstyled content flash with pulsing gray placeholder shapes
while the deferred Tailwind stylesheet loads. Uses a 'loading' class
on <html> that critical CSS uses to show skeleton / hide content,
removed by the stylesheet's onload handler.
Includes noscript fallback to bypass skeleton when JS is disabled.

Widget: add noLabels to prevent month abbreviations from squishing
together in the narrow sidebar. Both widget and section: use lighter
boxColorDark (#44403c / surface-700) so empty grid cells are visible
against the surface-800 sidebar/section backgrounds in dark mode.

The ai-usage widget was empty on blog listing pages (/notes/, /photos/)
because sidebar.njk (the third sidebar dispatcher) was missing the
widget registration. Also adds the "zap" lightning bolt icon to icon.njk
which was referenced but never defined.

Article title links now have explicit text color instead of inheriting
the global amber link color. Default article left-border changed from
amber to neutral surface tone. Card hover border toned down to neutral.

PagefindUI in the ~300px sidebar caused 218+ results to expand inline,

Add shared save-later.js module and per-item save buttons to
blogroll, podroll, listening, and news pages. Buttons are hidden
by default and only visible when logged in. Posts to the readlater
plugin API at /readlater/save.
Alpine.js component that lets visitors click any image inside
article content to view it fullscreen with keyboard navigation
(arrow keys, Escape to close) and prev/next buttons.
When markdown images use full https:// URLs, the template was prepending
site.url again, causing double-domain in structured data
(e.g., https://rmendes.net/https://rmendes.net/media/...).
Now checks if postImage starts with 'http' and skips the prefix.
Add a reusable fullwidth layout (layouts/fullwidth.njk) for rich HTML
content that needs the full container width without sidebar or prose
constraints. Add the interactive architecture explorer as a static
asset served via passthrough copy at /interactive/architecture.html.
- layouts/fullwidth.njk: site header + footer only, no sidebar
- interactive/architecture.html: tabbed architecture guide
- eleventy.config.js: passthrough copy for interactive/ directory
Interests are now grouped by category (matching skills pattern).
Updated cv-interests.njk to iterate categories, cv.js fallback to {},
and cv.njk hasCvData check to include interests.
CV page hero now checks cvPageConfig.identity before falling back to
site.author, matching the homepage hero pattern. Social links use the
shared socialIcon macro.
