Summary

Two follow-ups to the clean URL work in #514 and the worst-case data pass in #566.

Clean manual URLs

/manuals and /manual- returned 404 in production, while every other page answers at its clean URL and redirects from its .html form.

  • One rewrite and one redirect in vercel.json cover manuals.html and every manual-.html, so a new manual needs no config change.
  • build-manuals now runs before clean-urls, so manual pages publish clean links and canonical URLs.
  • header.js adapts manual links like the other pages, also in static previews.
  • The local preview server and test_clean_urls.js accept the :page pattern in rewrites, so the clean URL tests cover the manual pages when they are built.

Manual pages on a 320px phone

The manuals index was 350px wide and the Docker Sandboxes manual 418px wide at 320px, so both scrolled sideways.

  • The index card and the cover print the first 7 characters of the pinned commit, as the A2A manual does. The colophon keeps the full commit (site/build-manuals.js).
  • The manual body wraps a long unbreakable string, such as a socket path or a commit hash, instead of letting it run past the column (manuals/_shared/manual.css).
  • The index pin line wraps as a guard for long subjects and versions (manuals/_shared/web.css).
  • Verified in headless Chromium at 320px, in desktop and mobile emulation: the index and both manuals are 320px wide. At 1280px nothing changes.

break-ui follow-ups

The nine decisions #566 left open, fixed in the direction the owner chose. The worst case entered through the data files only (data.js, projects-data.js, certification-data.js), served by a local dev toggle that is not part of this PR, and every state was rechecked: Demo, Worst case, Empty, One and Huge.

# Decision Fix Where What verifies it
1 toRoman(0) prints "0." Kept, no change
2 Desktop phase modal cut lesson names to one line Two-line clamp in the modal; the narrow modal still shows the whole name; the palette keeps one line and its tooltip site/style.css:818, :1443 Worst-case phase 3 at 1280px shows two lines and an ellipsis; Demo modal screenshot is pixel-identical
3 Catalog status filter had no "In progress" Options come from the statuses in the lessons, sharing one addOption helper with the phase select site/catalog.html:1007, :1010 Worst case lists Complete, In progress, Planned and ?status=in-progress shows the 2 lessons; today's data lists only Complete, since every lesson is complete
4 Glossary terms that start with a digit had no jump button "#" button after Z when the glossary has such a term; one letterSectionId maps it to the group; groups sort by the same alphabet site/glossary.html:1113, :1116 Worst case shows the button and it focuses the "#" group; Demo letter list is unchanged
5 Hardcoded "20 phases" and "523 lessons" The build count sync now also covers about.html, SPONSORS.md (before sponsors.html renders from it) and the home description phrase, with one regex. The catalog intro key holds a {n} placeholder that ui-i18n.js fills with the page's count, the interface translator shields {n}, and the eleven pinned translations moved to the placeholder site/build.js:2501, :2353; site/ui-i18n.js:59; site/ui-strings.json:163; scripts/translate_ui_strings.py:39; docs/i18n.md Changing the counts in SPONSORS.md, about.html, index.html and the catalog intro, then running build.js, restores all four from the data and keeps sponsors.html equal to its rendered source; with the count at 21, the Spanish intro reads "las 21 fases"; test_ui_i18n.js covers the placeholder and reads {n} as any count
6 Doubled root font size scrolled pages sideways Display headings floor at min(Arem, 5A vw), equal to the old floor at 320px with default text, so default rendering does not move; headings break a word longer than the line; route buttons, footer links, breadcrumbs, filters, card heads and the assessment question wrap or shrink; long links and paths break inside a word only when nothing else fits; the home contents list on phones caps its numeral, name and count the same way site/style.css:162, :168, :973; site/index.html:459, :2006; site/certifications.css:241, :725, :969; site/catalog.html:55, :82; site/sponsors.html, site/about.html, site/projects.css, and the heading clamps in the other page styles Pages scrolling sideways with the root font doubled went from 15 to 0 in the 18-page scan (and from 33 to 2 in an extended run over 25 pages at 320, 1280 and 2560px; both left are the generated manual index); default-size screenshots of 18 pages at 320, 1280 and 2560px are pixel-identical except the home "Explore certifications" button at 320px, whose label used to run past its border and now wraps
7 English punctuation and number ranges read backwards in the Arabic UI While a right-to-left language is active, ui-i18n.js gives the element of any untranslated English text lang="en" dir="ltr"; translated chrome keeps the page direction, flex and grid containers are left alone so components still mirror, and switching language removes the marks. The contents numeral is always left to right site/ui-i18n.js:115; site/app.js:159; docs/i18n.md In Arabic, "12-lesson path · 780 minutes" no longer reads "780-12", "doing." no longer reads ".doing", numerals read "IX." and "0.", and catalog rows, glossary entries, the modal, the roadmap and palette results read left to right; switching back to English leaves no marks
8 Header logo clipped at 320px on the certification and project pages Below 481px the chip's GitHub label is visually hidden, as on the other pages, and the logo mark no longer shrinks site/style.css:302, :1518 At 320px the logo shows in full with its mark on the certification, assessment, project and projects pages; the label stays in the accessible name
9 Empty roadmap data said it could not be loaded No phases shows "No phases are published yet." and zero counts; missing or invalid data keeps the load error site/roadmap.js:73, :1217, :1226; site/roadmap.css The Empty state shows the new copy, the One state (invalid graph) keeps the error, and Demo is unchanged

A four-angle review (reuse, simplification, efficiency, altitude) ran on the diff; its fixes are in the last commit. header.js loads the changed ui-i18n.js under a new version key.

Left for later: the generated manual index still scrolls sideways at 320px (with or without larger text) and has its own stylesheet; the "4 core paths · 6 career routes" eyebrow describes static page content and keeps its literal key; Persian now shows the catalog count in Latin digits.

Test plan

  • Full Vercel build order run locally, including build-manuals and clean-urls: manuals.html and manual-*.html publish clean canonicals and links
  • node --test site/test_clean_urls.js site/test_static_preview_routes.js site/test_manuals.js site/test_asset_cache.js site/test_sponsors.js with the manual pages built
  • Site, agent API, route, and negotiation tests; python3 scripts/test_agent_readiness.py
  • Preview: /manuals and /manual-docker-sandboxes-101 answer 200, and the .html forms redirect with 308
  • The twelve listed site test files: 150 of 150 pass with the gitignored generated manual pages moved aside, as in a clean checkout (with them present, "shared site asset families use the expected cache keys" fails because those pages carry no ?v= key); all 217 site tests pass in the same layout
  • scripts/test_agent_api.js, test_agent_wire.js, test_seo_routes.js, test_agent_negotiation.js (47 of 47); python3 scripts/test_agent_readiness.py; python3 scripts/test_translate_ui_strings.py (14 of 14)
  • break-ui scan, 288 page loads over five data states, 1280, 320 and 2560px, doubled root font, dark mode and Arabic: pages scrolling sideways 15 to 0, SVG label overflows 0, JavaScript errors 0
  • Default-size screenshots of 18 pages at 320, 1280 and 2560px compared with the branch base: only the intended changes differ
  • build.js restores edited counts in SPONSORS.md, about.html, index.html and the catalog intro, and sponsors.html still equals its rendered source
  • Preview in Arabic: catalog, glossary, learning paths, roadmap, the phase modal and the palette read left to right for English text

/manuals and /manual-<id> returned 404, while every other page has a clean URL and a permanent redirect from its .html form.

- vercel.json: one rewrite and one redirect cover manuals.html and every manual-<id>.html, so a new manual needs no config change. The manuals pages join the revalidated page headers.
- Build order: build-manuals now runs before clean-urls, so manual links and canonical URLs are published without .html.
- header.js adapts manual links like the other pages, including in static previews.
- serve-agent-site.js and test_clean_urls.js accept the :page pattern in rewrites, so the clean URL tests cover the manual pages when they are built.

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update numeric UI translations and text direction handling, add extensionless manual-page routes, and adjust responsive layouts across the site. They also update catalog status filters, glossary navigation, sponsor count synchronization, and the empty-roadmap state.

Changes

UI localization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Numeric translation placeholders
site/ui-strings.json, scripts/translate_ui_strings.py, scripts/test_translate_ui_strings.py, site/ui-i18n.js, site/test_ui_i18n.js, docs/i18n.md, site/header.js
UI translation strings use {n} for counts. Token protection and runtime lookup support numeric templates, preserve source numbers and whitespace, and include related tests and documentation.
Right-to-left text direction
site/ui-i18n.js, site/app.js
The runtime applies English and left-to-right marks to eligible untranslated Latin text in right-to-left languages. The phase-list Roman numeral explicitly uses left-to-right direction.

Manual-page publishing and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manual route generation and handling
vercel.json, site/header.js, scripts/serve-agent-site.js, site/test_clean_urls.js
The build and route configuration add manual-page rewrites and redirects, include manual routes in cache rules, and support parameterized rewrite sources.
Manual content presentation
site/build-manuals.js, manuals/_shared/manual.css, manuals/_shared/web.css
Manual content can wrap long text. Manual index pins display seven characters of each commit hash.

Responsive layout and text wrapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Viewport-aware typography
site/style.css, site/about.html, site/blogs.css, site/contact.html, site/developer.html, site/privacy.html, site/sponsors.html, site/glossary.html, site/index.html, site/learning-paths.css, site/lesson.html, site/projects.css, site/roadmap.css, site/catalog.html, site/certifications.css
Heading and display-text minimum sizes now use viewport-relative limits across shared styles and site pages.
Wrapping and flexible page layouts
site/about.html, site/certifications.css, site/catalog.html, site/index.html, site/intelligence-check.css, site/projects.css, site/style.css, site/sponsors.html
Text and controls can wrap within available space. Several grid tracks and shared interface elements gain layout safeguards for narrow viewports.

Site content and navigation behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Catalog status filters
site/catalog.html
The status filter uses statuses found in lesson data, defaults missing statuses to planned, and labels known statuses.
Glossary letter navigation
site/glossary.html
Alphabet navigation, letter groups, and section IDs use shared letter data, including a # entry for other terms.
Sponsor count synchronization
site/build.js
The build updates lesson, phase, and output counts in the root sponsor content, then generates the sponsors page.
Empty roadmap state
site/roadmap.js, site/roadmap.css
An empty phase list displays an empty-roadmap message and stats. Invalid phase data still follows the data-error path.

The desktop phase modal cut every lesson name to one line, so long
names that differ near the end looked alike. Names now wrap and clamp
at two lines, and the title tooltip still carries the full name. The
narrow modal keeps showing the whole name, and the search palette keeps
one line.
The status filter offered Complete and Planned whatever the data held,
so In progress was missing when ROADMAP.md marks a lesson in progress,
and Planned returned nothing when every lesson is complete. The options
now come from the statuses present in the lessons, in workflow order,
with unknown statuses listed by name after them.
Terms that start with a digit or a non-Latin letter land in the #
group, which had no button in the letter list and no way to jump to it.
A # button now follows Z when the glossary has such a term, and it
jumps to the group like the letter buttons do.
On the certification, project and assessment pages the GitHub chip
carries a visible GitHub label, which pushed the logo into its ellipsis
and shrank the logo mark to nothing at 320px. Below 481px the label is
now visually hidden, as on the other pages where the chip shows only the
star count, and the logo mark no longer shrinks.
With no phases in the data the roadmap said the data could not be
loaded and asked for a rebuild. An empty phase list now says that no
phases are published yet and sets the summary counts to zero. Missing
or invalid data keeps the load error, and both messages share a padded
style.
build.js already rewrote "N lessons" and "N phases" in a few pages,
which left gaps. The sponsors page, rendered from SPONSORS.md, and the
about page kept 523 and 20 by hand, and the home description phrase
"523 free, open-source lessons" never matched. The count sync now
covers about.html and SPONSORS.md, runs before sponsors.html is
rendered from it so the page and its source agree, matches counts
across line breaks, and takes the home phrase.

The catalog intro is a translation key, so a new phase would rewrite
its English text and orphan eleven pinned translations. The key now
holds a {n} placeholder: ui-i18n.js matches the page text with any
number in that place and carries the number into the translation, the
interface translator shields {n} like a file name, and test_ui_i18n.js
reads {n} as any count when it checks for orphaned keys.
With the root font size doubled, 15 of the 18 scanned pages scrolled
sideways at 320px or 1280px, and the home aside, display headings and
route buttons spilled out of their boxes even with today's data.

- Display type: every heading clamp with a floor of 1.5rem or more, and
  the base h1 to h3, now floors at min(Arem, 5A vw). Both values match
  at 320px with default text, so nothing moves at default size; with
  larger text, display type stops at its 320px size relative to the
  viewport. Headings also break a word that is longer than the line.
- The home contents list on phones caps its numeral, name and count
  the same way.
- Masthead and course route buttons, footer links, breadcrumbs, project
  filters, the catalog search and filters, certification card heads and
  the certification grids on phones wrap or shrink instead of
  overflowing, and the assessment question card no longer grows to its
  longest word.
- Long links, file paths and the thought experiment question break
  inside a word only when nothing else fits.

At default text size the one visible change is the home "Explore
certifications" button at 320px, whose label ran past its border and
now wraps.
In the Arabic interface English text took the page direction, so
sentence punctuation landed on the left ("doing." read ".doing"),
Roman numerals read ".IX", and "12-lesson path · 780 minutes" read
"780-12". The data and lesson text are English, so they now read as
English inside the right-to-left chrome.

- While a right-to-left language is active, ui-i18n.js gives the
  element of any eligible English text that the dictionary did not
  translate lang="en" dir="ltr". That covers the curriculum data the
  pages render (contents, phase modal, catalog rows, glossary entries,
  roadmap inspector, search palette) and English copy that has no
  translation key, such as the learning paths content. Translated
  chrome keeps the page direction, flex and grid containers are left
  alone so component layout still mirrors, and switching language
  removes the marks.
- Lesson names, phase titles and descriptions, palette results and
  glossary terms carry lang="en" dir="ltr" in their markup, and the
  contents numeral is always left to right, so "0." reads correctly.
- Catalog status options share an addOption helper with the phase
  select, are collected in the existing row loop, and sort
  alphabetically, which is already workflow order.
- Glossary groups sort by the alphabet array, so # comes last from
  one source.
- The roadmap empty state reuses renderHeroStats and escapes its
  message.
- syncCounts uses one lookahead regex and SPONSORS_SOURCE_PATH.
- ui-i18n.js decides an element's direction from all of its text
  nodes in one place, skips text inside an existing English island,
  and needs no sweep on language change. The {n} lookup collects
  numbers in one pass, and the orphaned-key test reuses the exported
  NUMBER pattern.
- Lesson names, phase titles and descriptions, palette results and
  glossary terms go back to dir="auto". A phase such as "Model
  Context Protocol (MCP)" is also a translation key, and a fixed
  lang="en" dir="ltr" would hold its Arabic translation left to
  right. The runtime marks the untranslated ones.
- Seven heading clamps whose floor could never bind are written as
  min(). The wrap rules for the sponsors page, the about page and the
  assessment question sit on their containers, and the hidden GitHub
  label matches the other visually hidden rules.
- header.js loads the changed ui-i18n.js under a new version key.
On a 320px phone the manuals index was 350px wide and the Docker Sandboxes manual 418px wide, so both scrolled sideways.

- The index card and the cover print the first 7 characters of the pinned commit, as the A2A manual does. The colophon keeps the full commit.
- The manual body wraps a long unbreakable string, such as a socket path or a commit hash, instead of letting it run past the column. Code spans already did.
- The index pin line wraps as a guard for long subjects and versions.

Comment thread site/ui-i18n.js Outdated
markDirection set lang="en" dir="ltr" on the parent of untranslated English text, so a translated child inside that parent inherited English and left-to-right.

- An element whose whole text is untranslated English is still marked as one block, so English paragraphs keep their left alignment on right-to-left pages.
- In a mixed element, only the untranslated English text nodes are wrapped in a <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">, and translated children stay outside.
- When a translated child appears later inside a marked block, the mark is removed and the English text is wrapped again.
- Switching away from a right-to-left language removes every mark and wrapper.
- UI_I18N_VERSION is bumped so browsers load the new ui-i18n.js.
