Pull request overview
Adds a top-nav news link that anchors to the landing page “Recent activity” section and introduces a “N NEW” nav chip for news entries (mirroring the existing blog chip). This is implemented via a generated files/news-meta.json (from the site builder) and a new news-counter.js that tracks “last seen” via localStorage.
Changes:
- Added
newsnav links across hand-authored pages + anchored landing section viaid="news". - Introduced
site/files/news-counter.jsand wired it into pages that already load the blog chip logic. - Extended
site/blog/build_blog.pyto emitfiles/news-meta.json, and added a new_newsannouncement entry.

Fixed in 23ed407 — build_blog.py:16 docstring now says § 06. Same pre-existing stale comment in site/files/forge.js:497 (the actual renderer for the news feed) bumped at the same time.
- index.html: add id="news" to § 06 "Recent activity" so the nav link anchor-jumps there. Add `news` link to forge-nav__links before `docs`. Wire `files/news-counter.js`. - downloads.html, daspkg.html, playground/index.html, blog/template.html: same `news` nav link (anchors to index.html#news from non-landing pages). downloads + blog/template also pick up the counter script (matching the existing scope of blog-counter.js — daspkg and playground are skipped for both, preserving the prior pattern). - files/news-counter.js: new — mirrors blog-counter.js. Reuses `.forge-blog-chip` CSS class. Matches nav anchors by `link.hash === "#news"` so the same script works from any page. Marks seen via localStorage["daslang:news:lastSeen"] on landing-with-#news-hash AND on nav-link click; clears chips on click. - blog/build_blog.py: emit `files/news-meta.json` alongside `news.json` / `blog.json`. Same shape as blog.json (newest_date, baseline_date, items). - .gitignore: list `files/news-meta.json` as a build artifact. - _news/2026-05-27-0-6-3-is-just-around-the-corner-in-the.md: new entry announcing 0.6.3 + dasImgui's imgui_playwright addition.

Summary
newslink in the top nav (beforedocs) on every hand-authored page — anchor-jumps to § 06 "Recent activity" on the landing.files/news-meta.jsonand a newfiles/news-counter.js.
