… Lab Establishes the public information architecture: About (who I am), Systems (what I build), Research (how I think), Lab (what I explore). - Add /about — a single authored page, no CMS/database. Content is grounded only in facts already established elsewhere in the repo (name, role, tagline, the site's own four-domain structure); nothing invented. - Rename /projects to /systems: src/lib/projects.ts -> src/lib/systems.ts, Project -> System, getAllProjects() -> getAllSystems(). Slugs and content unchanged. /projects and /projects/:slug now permanently redirect (308) to /systems and /systems/:slug via next.config.ts's redirects() — the old route files are gone, not left as 404s. - Rename the "Protocol Engineering Lab" Systems entry to "Protocol Engineering Notes" — it collided with the site's own Lab section; underlying content and slug are unchanged. - Add /lab and /lab/[id] as real, addressable routes over the existing experiment registry (src/lib/experiments/registry.ts) — no experiment metadata duplicated, no experiment internals touched. /lab/[id] resolves through getExperiment() (already existed, previously unused outside the homepage) and renders the registry's Component directly; a disabled experiment 404s, matching the registry's own enabled-flag intent. - Update primary navigation to About / Systems / Research / Lab; GitHub removed from primary nav (kept in the footer alongside LinkedIn, X, and email, extracted to a shared src/lib/site.ts#socialLinks export so the footer and /about can't drift apart). - Rewrite sitemap.ts to cover the full IA (home, about, systems + every slug, research + every published D1 article, lab + every enabled experiment) and exclude /projects and every /research/write* route. Requires force-dynamic, the same way /research/page.tsx already does: D1 is only reachable at real request time, not during `next build`. Research's D1/repository/authoring architecture, Systems' static-data model, and Lab's registry+component model are all preserved as-is — only routing and navigation changed.

Transforms / from Hero + embedded Lab into a full projection of the site's
information architecture: Hero -> About -> Systems -> Research -> Lab ->
footer, following "person -> work -> thinking -> exploration."
- Hero now leads with the name (TOMÁS ARAÚJO) as the h1, instead of never
stating it — positioning statement and tech-territory line are the same
existing copy, just reordered under the name. CTAs retarget to /systems
and /lab (the #lab anchor no longer exists once Lab moves off the
homepage). The right-column visual slot (currently SystemMap) is
commented as where the eventual personal photo belongs — no image
invented or placeholder added.
- Four new preview sections, each reading directly from its domain's
existing source, no homepage-specific data files:
- AboutPreview — a short editorial excerpt, not a copy of /about.
- SystemsPreview — getAllSystems(), all 5 as a compact name+tagline
list, so no single system dominates.
- ResearchPreview — the same repository /research reads
(getResearchRepository().getPublishedArticles()), sliced to the
latest 3, showing date/category/reading-time per item.
- LabPreview — the same experiment registry /lab reads, filtered by
`enabled` and capped at 3 so the homepage stays curated regardless of
how large the registry grows. No longer interactive here — the
accordion that used to occupy this spot now lives at /lab and
/lab/[id], which are real destinations as of the IA restructuring.
- Deleted src/components/lab/protocol-lab.tsx: the homepage no longer
imports it, and nothing else did either (verified before removing).
- Added export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" to page.tsx — without it,
`next build` prerenders / once using Research's MDX fallback (the only
thing reachable at build time), and a newly published D1 article would
never appear on the homepage without a redeploy.
- siteConfig.description rewritten to name the actual technical territory
instead of calling the site "a blog."
Shared SectionIntro/SectionLink components give the four previews one
consistent rhythm (role eyebrow, heading, closing "-> /path" link) while
each section's body stays specific to its own domain's data shape.

Summary
Two-phase feature work, each its own commit:
feat(ia)— establishes the public information architecture:/about(new),/projects→/systems(renamed, with permanent redirects),/lab+/lab/[id](new, over the existing experiment registry), nav updated, sitemap rewritten to cover the full IA and exclude authoring routes. Research's D1/repository/authoring architecture, Systems' static-data model, and Lab's registry+component model are all preserved as-is.feat(home)— rebuilds/from Hero + embedded Lab into a full curated preview of all four sections (Hero → About → Systems → Research → Lab), each preview reading directly from its domain's existing data source (no homepage-specific content duplication).See each commit message for full detail.
