Change history
• Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Stop waiting for removed GitHub checks
Set the git-temporal profile's required remote checks to none because Ruff, compilation, and the full test suite run locally before release and the five former GitHub check jobs no longer exist. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Make Classifieds the top-level marketplace
Replaced the top-level Garage Sales label with Classifieds, added `/classifieds` while preserving the legacy garage-sales route, and presented verified garage sales as the first listing type inside the county-based Classifieds section. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Reserve GitHub Actions for production releases
Removed the feature-branch and pull-request Actions workflow; the only remaining GitHub-hosted workflow is the optimized deployment triggered by a push to `production`, while Ruff, compile, unit, and contract checks remain local release gates. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Normalize the Confluence Culture Council project row
Removed the generic `river` class from project-list rows so Confluence Culture Council uses the same unobstructed flat row as every other project instead of inheriting the homepage river-circle artwork. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Give the homepage story visual rhythm
Reused the exact infographic icon in each matching story section and alternated left/right layouts with navy, cream, warm, and green treatments so the long narrative no longer reads as one wall of text. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Let the infographic continue beneath the drawer rail
Removed the desktop-only right padding that exposed a clipped blank strip below the fixed drawer controls. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Keep the paddleboat moving on desktop
Extended the right-to-left riverboat route to desktop and kept the paddle wheel visibly turning throughout the crossing. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Return every matching explorer record
Kept county place search on the complete owned dataset with no ranking, top-result cap, or silent truncation. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Keep Google Maps outbound-only
Removed the live map layer and retained Google Maps only as a directions/search action from each first-party place detail page. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Aggregate public place facts into Kentucky West
Added more than 120 source-backed local place records from county tourism and chamber sources, with original descriptions, addresses where published, internal detail pages, and source links. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Polish the county discovery experience
Added a responsive full-width atlas layout, strong category navigation, flat search results, source gateways, and internal detail-page storytelling across all four county explorer categories. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Build four first-party explorer pages per county
Added Shop Nearby, Eat Local, Coffee & Conversation, and Things to Do routes for all eight counties, along with an internal detail route for every owned place record. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Make directory cards fully tappable
Added a full-card internal detail target while preserving independent website and social controls above it. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Use Healthcare as the public label
Replaced the public Health & Care wording with Healthcare throughout the infographic, county focus, and navigation surfaces. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Add Churches to the connected story
Added a Churches icon to the infographic, a dedicated homepage explanation and call to action, and matching county navigation. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Add the traveling airplane
Added a small reduced-motion-safe airplane that crosses the top of the infographic from left to right. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Correct the riverboat route
Rebuilt the paddleboat motion so it enters from beyond the right edge and exits beyond the left edge on tablet without jumping or flying. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Set the background video to 40 percent
Set the video element itself to the operator-selected 40% opacity and reduced the surfaces above it so the motion remains clearly visible in the background. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Ingest the complete Kentucky charity-register scope
Added all 54 current register rows whose mailing ZIP maps to the eight Jackson Purchase counties, including Kentucky West Inc. in Ballard County with its registered facts and source page. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Keep infographic focus on the homepage
Changed every infographic item to open its own full homepage story section with a relevant call to action instead of immediately forcing county selection. • Past Completed · 2026-08-31 — Retire the superseded embedded-map direction
Replaced the earlier embedded Google Maps concept with first-party county lists and internal details after the operator explicitly chose not to use a live map layer. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Deepen the digital front porch story
Preserved the established home infographic while expanding it from nine to twelve linked doors with dedicated Tourism, Arts/Entertainment/Music, and Events paths that retain the visitor's focus through county selection. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Deepen the digital front porch story
Added a gently animated Kentucky riverboat, a porch neighbor playing a banjo, floating music notes, direct county-porch parity, footer parity, accessible descriptions, and reduced-motion-safe animation. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Name Kentucky West in the home promise
Changed the home hero headline to “Kentucky West is Your digital front porch.” while preserving the established visual emphasis on “digital front porch.” • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Complete the local responsive correction pass
Audited the primary routes at narrow mobile, tablet, and desktop widths; eliminated page-level horizontal overflow, kept long county names intact, contained all nine home-infographic links clear of the fixed launcher, aligned the mobile drawer below the 78-pixel header without clipping its rail, and added Garage Sales to the keyboard-accessible top-level drawer. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Expand County Resources to record-level entries
Replaced broad resource rollups across all eight counties with specific government offices and services, bank and credit-union branches, libraries and public programs, clinics, pharmacies, dentists, hospitals, health departments, and emergency-medical resources; retained a general page only when it is itself the provider’s official record or the most specific maintained public source. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Verify local business leads independently
Converted six Jackson Purchase discovery leads into explicitly non-sponsored local business records only after confirming each name, location, and category through the business’s own official site; rejected a seventh lead whose official site reports that it permanently closed, and published no Nextdoor descriptions or unsupported claims. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Separate complete county homes from verified Deal Guides
Kept each selected county page as the complete platform home for places, businesses, services, representation, garage sales, projects, maps, and resources; narrowed Deal Guides to a separate verified-offer model with terms, redemption instructions, source links, verification dates, active-date checks, and truthful empty states until real offers exist. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Complete the Christian church contact directory
Expanded all 37 Christian church records with clearly labeled pastoral and office contact paths, direct local source links, and denomination or regional-body links; current names and contact details are published only when an official source supports them, while unresolved offices remain explicit confirmation paths. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Connect every home infographic concept
Completed the nine-concept home infographic with Government and the other core topics, invisible non-circular hit areas, visible explanation navigation, accessible concept-to-explanation relationships, and focus-preserving county links from every explanation. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Replace school-district rollups with school records
Replaced district-homepage shortcuts with 74 individual school, preschool, alternative-program, and career-technical records across all eight counties, using specific official HTTPS pages or official school documents and omitting facilities without a verifiable standalone source. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add site policies and complete the social icon set
Added public Privacy, Terms, and Refund Policy pages with sitewide footer links, sitemap coverage, and an inline Twitter/X icon that follows the same accessible SVG method as the other directory social links. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county motor-vehicle paths
Added official county-clerk title and registration resources, Kentucky driver-licensing office discovery, and driver-services guidance to every county guide. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Make the right hero panel a living porch menu
Expanded the animated right hero panel into the menu scene itself with multiple neighbors, walking and seated/standing movement, a shared table, barbecue pit, background cars, and nine linked platform concepts. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county golf and attraction discovery
Added source-backed golf and visitor attractions to every county guide, preserving explicit gaps where no official conventional golf-course source could be verified instead of fabricating a listing. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Complete the eight county resident-guide foundation
Added source-backed Kentucky resources, tourism, chambers, city governments, local customs, county orientation, history, notable people, education, school boards, community sports, kids’ resources, child care, and elder care to all eight county homes. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Flatten the county desktop experience
Removed desktop card containers, rounded shells, shadows, and excess nested borders from the county hero, locator, switcher, resource groups, and discovery content so the page reads as one continuous interface. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Preserve topic focus through county navigation
Added a validated nine-topic navigation state that carries the visitor’s selected context from the home infographic through county selection, county switching, and the matching county section while always retaining an “All county topics” escape. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county-specific porch navigation
Added a compact interactive porch menu to every selected county hero with direct links to that county’s government, businesses, education, employment, college aid, organizations, health, arts, events, community life, motor vehicles, resources, projects, and deals. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Separate county arts from current events
Added distinct, source-backed Arts & Entertainment and Events sections to every county guide so permanent cultural places remain separate from official calendars and time-sensitive event discovery. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Remove the Resident Guide horizontal scroller
Replaced the sideways Resident Guide strip with a wrapping full-width index that adapts from an auto-fit desktop grid to two mobile columns and one narrow-phone column without horizontal scrolling. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Send search results to their actual content
Changed researched place results from empty Deal Guide destinations to the matching county discovery section, while sponsored businesses now open their internal Kentucky West profile pages. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Bring sponsored full listings inside Kentucky West
Replaced Wix “Full Listing” exits with internal `/directory/listings/{slug}` pages that preserve the imported image, description, county, category, and organization links inside the Kentucky West experience. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Optically center Welcome against the logo artwork
Shifted the visible Welcome glyphs to the optical center of the visible KY West mark and versioned the stylesheet URL so the running browser receives the corrected alignment. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Rough in county classifieds
Added three clearly labeled demonstration classifieds to every county using typed, county-scoped listing records and a flat mobile layout designed to move behind a future PostgreSQL repository without changing the template contract. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Mirror infographic concepts in the footer
Rebuilt the footer Explore menu around the same nine concepts and destinations used by the home infographic, while retaining direct paths to Deal Guides, Garage Sales, and Get Involved. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add public utilities by service availability
Added county-level utility discovery through Kentucky PSC service-area maps, its county-and-type Utility Master, and Jackson Purchase Energy's published footprint, with address confirmation replacing countywide coverage claims. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county media and communications
Added Media & Communications to all eight county guides with regional radio and television outlets, Kentucky and FCC broadband maps, and address-level Spectrum, AT&T, and WK&T availability checks for internet, telephone, and cable services. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Make content quality visible through the work
Removed public-copy claims about trust, honesty, integrity, and reliability; KW content now demonstrates quality through identified sources, clear scope, and useful detail, with the rule preserved in repository policy. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county organizations and nonprofits
Added a distinct source-backed Organizations & Nonprofits section to all eight county guides, using regional organizations whose published service areas include the Jackson Purchase, and linked it directly from every county infographic and navigation menu. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add college, university, and scholarship resources
Added official WKCTC, Murray State, KHEAA, and UK Paducah program and aid gateways to every county, with the WKCTC Community Scholarship Program limited to McCracken because its published eligibility is local. • Past Completed · 2026-08-30 — Add county employment paths
Added source-backed local job boards, Kentucky Focus Career, and West Kentucky Career Center resources to every county; Employment now appears as a linked ninth home-infographic concept and as a direct county-infographic destination. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Corrected the TE-style platform drawer boundary so the panel begins immediately below the sticky header on desktop and mobile, with responsive header-height offsets, usable viewport-limited scrolling, and no content hidden behind the header. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Vertically centered the responsive “Welcome” label against the header logo on desktop and mobile. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Increased “Welcome” to approximately 70% of the responsive header-logo height. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Moved “Your digital front porch” directly below the footer logo, left copyright as the only bottom-line copy, and replaced visible Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube text with accessible TE-26.2-style SVG controls. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added “Welcome” beside the header logo and prevented mobile horizontal page drift while preserving vertical scrolling and pinch-to-zoom. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Corrected the change-timeline contract: every actionable request, including small refinements and corrective actions, now receives its own ordered queue item and its own completed changelog entry without bundling or omission. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added an accessible, HTMX-powered search panel to the page drawer. It searches counties, sourced local content, sponsored businesses, projects, county resources, and verified current garage sales; returns direct navigable results; protects private and pending sale data; focuses the input on open; and provides clear short-query and empty states on desktop and mobile. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Expanded the Community Directory beyond sponsors with one maintained chamber or official business-discovery gateway for every Jackson Purchase county, Kentucky state registration verification, and an owner correction/listing path. Existing imported listings remain first, explicitly sponsored, and visually separate; external directory records are neither copied nor represented as Kentucky West sponsorship or ranking. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added a source-backed Health & Wellness directory for every Jackson Purchase county. Each selected county now includes regional or local hospital care, doctors or primary-care offices, dental care, and public-health or medical services through official health-system, practice, health-department, or Kentucky Dental Association links in the existing flat county-reference layout. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Completed the mobile hierarchy flattening contract: the county hero loses its outer card border, radius, and shadow; the selected-county locator becomes a full-width borderless section; Deal Guide cards become simple divided rows; and resource groups lose nested container borders and side padding. Added regression coverage for these mobile-specific rules. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added a real `/garage-sales` community board with all-eight-county filtering, private submissions, address-publication consent, verification-only publication, source and verification display, automatic end-date expiration, spam trapping, and a truthful empty state instead of fake sale data. Added a flat responsive interface, navigation, sitemap coverage, and tests proving pending and expired sales stay off the public board. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Refocused the animated home infographic on Kentucky West’s purpose rather than county labels. The central porch now connects eight illustrated concepts—Place, People, Projects, Stories, Resources, Contribution, Discovery, and Renewal—while geography remains one signal among the larger community system. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Changed the public-facing home promise to “Your digital front porch” and replaced the static right hero illustration with an accessible, lightweight animated SVG story. Eight named county signals now converge on a shared navy-and-gold porch through moving connection paths, neighbors, landscape, river, and signal elements; the motion stops for reduced-motion users and the 50% overlays keep the background video visible. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Completed the eight-county Deal Guide content-depth pass while retaining three focused cards per county. Each guide now includes a precise local anchor backed by an identified regional or official source, avoids unsupported current-access or price claims, and directs readers to confirm changeable conditions before visiting. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added current, source-linked government representation for every Jackson Purchase county: judge/executive, commissioners or magistrates, clerk, sheriff, property valuation administrator, jailer, county attorney, county-seat mayor, and police chief when official sources agree. The selected county Deal Guide presents this as a flat mobile-friendly reference with verification dates, source links, and explicit notes where names remain intentionally unpublished. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Completed the selected-county reference directory across all eight Jackson Purchase counties: schools, county and municipal government links, curated Christian churches, banks and credit unions, and public resources now render from source-linked county data. Added an all-county completeness contract so none of the five requested resource groups can silently disappear. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Replaced Community Directory text links with TE-26.2-style inline SVG Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and website icons. Each compact touch target retains a descriptive accessible label, keyboard focus treatment, and the original destination. Set the home hero copy, artwork, landscape shapes, and porch-card overlay backgrounds to 50% opacity without changing the background video's brightness. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added an ordered operator-request queue and a TE-inspired page-drawer change timeline contract: unfinished requests remain above the present-time line in received order, while validated repository history is sourced from the durable changelog below it. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Made pending queue work an explicit continuation condition: completing or reporting one item no longer pauses later ordered work unless the operator pauses, cancels, redirects, or must resolve a real blocker. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Added researched Deal Guides for all eight Jackson Purchase counties with 24 source-linked local ideas, colorful county identities, county-detail previews, an eight-guide home entry point, and the community idea “Follow people. Meet in places.” Added keyless Google Maps discovery plus optional live Places search constrained by authoritative county geometry and governed by attribution and no-persistence rules. Reviewed and rejected ConnectNeighbors as a content source because its relevant Kentucky indexes currently contain no usable neighborhood records. 30 Aug Completed · 2026-08-30
Defined the next county-directory expansion: garage sales, schools, government, Christian churches, banks, public resources, and broader businesses remain county-scoped and source-backed, while the existing imported directory retains explicit sponsored placement. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Reframed county selection as an engaging zoom from the Jackson Purchase overview into a shared eight-county detail experience. Every selected county now has its own headline, hero narrative, feature highlight, directory invitation, and compact upper-right locator built from the same authoritative Kentucky DGI geometry; responsive, accessible county switching preserves the established navy/gold/video design and existing navigation behavior. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Replaced the superseded hand-drawn county paths with repository-localized GeoJSON polygons from the Kentucky Division of Geographic Information County Information layer. The compact header map and full `/counties` map now derive from the same uniformly projected authoritative geometry, preserve multipart Fulton County and true shared boundaries, and carry an explicit Kentucky DGI source credit. Hardened the logo-to-map interaction as one pointer-safe hover/focus region with cancellable delayed close, pinning, dismissal, and viewport-safe mobile top-layer behavior. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Made the active increment checklist durable: later requirements append unless explicitly cancelled, and release remains gated on every non-cancelled geometry, interaction, mobile, theme, video-compositing, selection, drawer, removal, test, documentation, and browser-verification item. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Replaced the superseded center-divider rail with a TE-style far-right launcher and attached platform drawer. The five existing KW areas now support closed, open, active-toggle close, seamless content switching, Escape/outside dismissal, direct drawer navigation, focus return, reduced motion, and a mobile launcher capped at 10vw beneath the county popover layer. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Removed the logo-to-map hover dead zone with a pointer-safe bridge, a cancellable 320 ms close delay, and explicit pinned click/tap state while retaining focus, Escape, and outside-click behavior. Lifted the sticky header and viewport-safe mobile panel above page content without modal layering or overflow clipping; moved the mobile platform rail to a safe-area-aware fixed right-edge control with expanded touch targets below the popover layer; and versioned the interaction assets so production cannot retain the earlier cached behavior. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Corrected the county logo popover's focus/click race so a pointer or tap activation remains open until Escape or outside dismissal instead of immediately toggling closed. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Established Kentucky navy and gold as the cohesive site foundation; added the accessible inline-SVG County-by-County experience at `/counties`, eight linked/selected regions, database-backed county stories, favicon-mark header popover, and a TE-inspired platform launcher for existing KW destinations, while lowering only the concrete header and hero overlay alphas so the unchanged background video reads more vividly. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Fixed the verified production compositing defect that left the healthy background video visually buried: kept the video element unchanged and substantially reduced only the sticky-header, hero-copy, hero-artwork, illustration-shape, and porch-card alpha values. Added focused CSS contract coverage and made separated live-frame comparison the acceptance proof for perceptible motion through the full hero. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Corrected the video-backed hero after the dark treatment and brightness adjustment were rejected: restored the intended light cream, field, river, and paper surfaces while retaining enough translucency for one continuous video scene through the sticky header, both hero columns, and the “Tonight on the Porch” card. The video remains at its original source brightness; only surface alpha may control visibility, and this separation is durable repository policy. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Hardened the TE-26.2-aligned deployment boundary: the production workflow now uses the exact production-push-only trigger shape with no manual dispatch, feature, `main`, pull-request, or wildcard trigger. Added a regression test and owning policy/deployment documentation so ordinary branch validation cannot be mistaken for or expanded into production deployment. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Refined the video-backed arrival into one continuous scene with a sticky translucent header, dark readable translucency across both hero columns and the “Tonight on the Porch” card, and a 25% brightness lift on the background video while preserving reduced-motion behavior and the existing layout. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Built the first Kentucky West digital-front-porch prototype with a warm, responsive arrival experience, project hubs, Talent DNA onboarding, contribution tree, and HTMX directory filtering. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Added async SQLite models and seed data for all eight Jackson Purchase counties, the complete initial business directory, and five founding projects. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Added repository-specific CI, exact-SHA production promotion, systemd, NGINX, hardpoint provisioning, and health verification contracts. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Corrected the production boundary to the new Cloudflare-managed subdomain `kywest.redstartmedia.com`. The existing Kentucky West domain, its DNS, and Bluehost are explicitly out of scope. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Provisioned the new Cloudflare DNS record, isolated Let's Encrypt certificate, NGINX ingress, runtime environment, and service hardpoint for `kywest.redstartmedia.com`; removed the inactive incorrect domain configuration created during the initial assumption. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Consolidated the operator's durable product and deployment record: the supplied brief produced the current effective prototype; Cloudflare is the only DNS provider; existing Kentucky West DNS is untouched during prototype work; `kywest.redstartmedia.com` is the prototype host; and `KYWest.org` is the eventual production domain but documentation-only until separately authorized. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Rebased the first-release production contract on the current checked-in TE-26.2 operational pattern: persistent exact-SHA checkout, root-owned `0600` environment, systemd/Uvicorn Unix-socket runtime, app-only restart, private and public health gates, immutable routine NGINX ingress, and deployed-SHA proof, all with KW-specific names and paths. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Corrected the git-temporal local validator to use the repository virtual environment so the release shell does not depend on a global `python` command. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Reconciled and verified the pre-release server hardpoint: Cloudflare DNS, TLS ingress, checked-in NGINX and systemd files, deployer-owned application root, production environment ownership and mode, and the server's Python provisioning tool all match the KW-26 contract. 29 Aug Completed · 2026-08-29
Ported the live Wix Community Directory into the prototype with the source KY West identity, full header and footer navigation, all 23 visible listings and their exact public descriptions, original listing graphics, County and Industry filters, social/website/full-listing links, and the Join the Directory invitation. Added the source KY West silhouette as a transparent, deterministic `#12345B` favicon and brought the Wix background video local as a subtle fixed layer with reduced-motion protection. The FastAPI, async SQLite, HTMX filtering, and exact-SHA production deployment contract remain intact; the Wix source and the documentation-only eventual domain remain untouched.
