split into two paragraphs, dropped the remaining dash, and corrected the schooling detail: gestalterische bms (not vorbildung/foundation year) came before architecture studies at ost and hslu.
the peek column only exists for images (a side-by-side thumbnail makes sense there, not for text) — but the mouseenter handler routed ALL rows through the locked/peek branch once something was locked, so on about (all text rows, locked by default on load) hovering dossier.md/openbureau.md/rapport.md while cv.md was locked did nothing at all. rows without data-img now always drive the main preview directly on hover, lock or not.
dropped the weight-of-a-material-vs-weight-of-a-social-crisis parallel and the sciences-meet-and-must-become-real ending — too directly translated from the english original, reads try-hard in german. keeps the same facts and the core point about architecture sitting between disciplines, phrased more plainly.
grid-column:3 + justify-self:end put name and tags in the same cell but grid stacks co-located items instead of placing them side by side, so the tag wrapped to a second line. wrapped both in a flex row (justify-content:space-between) inside that grid cell instead.
new categories taxonomy, multi-value per project. shown inline in each ls row as [tag] after the slug, muted like the other row metadata and inverting with it on hover/select. reuses the existing shared taxonomy template, so /categories/ and /categories/<tag>/ come for free as browsable archives in the same shell style already used for schools/degrees/semesters.\n\nassigned by medium: design for anything with plans/models, film for the two video projects, photo for the trieste study trip, text alongside design for translation (collage + accompanying theoretical text).
clicking the already-locked row navigated (the old second-click-to-open flow), which meant there was no way back to the unlocked hover-browsing state once something got locked. row clicks now toggle lock/unlock uniformly everywhere; the preview image is the one dedicated way to actually open a project, on the index same as project pages.
the peek column only makes sense as an alternative to disturbing an existing lock — with nothing locked, hover had stopped updating anything at all, leaving whatever was last locked stuck on screen while browsing other rows. now: locked -> hover drives the peek column only; unlocked -> hover drives the main preview directly, same as before locking existed.
rapport: trimmed the competitor-positioning paragraph and the tools-i-wanted framing, just the feature list and the free/self-hostable facts now.\n\ndossier: reflects that it left the rhino plugin behind and is now its own standalone desktop app (own geometry kernel, own rust/wasm rendering engine, own file format), instead of the old rhino-vs-open-source-cad justification.\n\nopenbureau: reframed as the platform the other two are built on rather than just a collection point for finished tools, and named as still taking shape.
plans and photos have wildly different natural aspect ratios (a 46x31in A0 detail plan next to a 3:2 photo), so the peek box was jumping size on every hover. now uses the same aspect-ratio:3/2 + object-fit:cover treatment as the portfolio-index preview it already mirrors in position/width — stays a fixed size regardless of what is hovered.
plan-full-ground-floor and plan-intervention-detail now come from the actual Vectorworks plan PDFs (GRUNDRISS-100.pdf, 1_20.pdf) rather than the typst-export renders — crisper linework, smaller files despite higher resolution. added plan-intervention-near.webp (from 100-NAH.pdf) as a third, medium-detail view between the full floor plan and the 1:20 intervention detail.
replaces the last commits attempt (hover updating the main preview directly) with what was actually asked for: the main preview now stays on the locked file, untouched by hover; a separate 18rem-wide column to the left of the file list — same width and spot as .proj-info on the right — shows whichever OTHER image is under the mouse while something is locked, and disappears again once the mouse leaves the list or lands back on the locked row itself.\n\npositioned via plain absolute positioning against .filebrowser (not scroll-tracked — it scrolls together with the list naturally), sitting inside the padding .proj-layout already reserves to keep the file list anchored. only enabled above 1300px, with a safety margin over the ~1168px point where that reserved space stops being wide enough; caught and fixed a bug in the same pass where .proj-peek had no display:none fallback below that breakpoint and would otherwise render as a bare block in-flow.
the scroll-triggered mini-preview from the last commit solved the wrong problem — it never showed in practice (images are generally as tall or taller than the short project texts, so the gap it needed never opened), and wasnt what was actually wanted: the existing left-column preview pane should keep responding to hover even once a file is locked, only reverting to the locked file once the mouse leaves the list. lock now only gates the is-selected styling, the ● locked indicator, and the click-to-navigate semantics on the portfolio index — not what the pane displays.
the locked image now gets a small pinned copy (18rem, same width as the text column) that appears once the real preview scrolls out of view and disappears again once the text runs out — fixed-position + scroll-driven rather than CSS sticky, since the filebrowser box is only ever as tall as its own content, not the much taller text next to it.\n\nalso scoped the existing click-outside-unfreezes-the-lock listener to clicks inside .filebrowser only, since with listings now starting locked, a click to read or select a word in the text would otherwise silently kill the sticky preview.\n\nportfolio index: rows there are real links (href + data-img together), so a single click used to jump straight into the project — the only way to preview a different one first was hovering, which does nothing for touch and is now also blocked while something is locked. first click on a different project now just previews it (like hover used to); a second click on the same row, or clicking the preview image itself, opens it.
same end state as clicking the first row by hand — hovering other rows no longer steals the preview until you actually click one. clicking a different row still jumps straight to it and relocks there; clicking the locked row again releases it back to hover-browsing. games are excluded (nothing to browse), matched via the game-embed class rather than page context so it stays correct no matter which page a game was launched from.
the .. row has no image/video/text of its own, so the preview fell through to the blank-everything branch — most noticeable on video projects, where the video would stop and vanish. now non-preview rows just leave whatever was last shown in place.
new video project (Basic Lecture MAA, FS26) mirrors the-shadow-over-emmen exactly: video + thumbnail, no body text, no images list. video re-encoded to ~1.7Mbps h264/aac (matches shadow.mp4 bitrate), thumbnail is a representative frame.\n\nhotel national: swapped the typst-export images for the original higher-res photos/plans from hotel-national-images/, credited co-author Tamara Grabovska in the text.
new: hotel national (MA studio, 2026), translation (MA collage collab. with Tim Schwander + Jérôme Arnold, 2026), utopie der koexistenz (BA thesis, Kantonsspital Baden, 2025) — text sourced from portfolio-2026.typ, translated EN<->DE, images pulled from the higher-res portfolio-export folder and converted to webp.
Generalized the doom launcher into launchGame(name) keyed by archive.org identifier; each cds into a fake .<name> folder and runs <name>.sh, same as doom.
cds into a fake .doom folder (breadcrumb + file listing match every other page); .. is a real link back to wherever you typed doom from, so leaving is just normal pjax navigation.
about now lists cv.md, openbureau.md, rapport.md, dossier.md side by side. the standalone /openbureau/ page, its layout, and its home-menu entry are gone; internal links repointed to /about/. also switch the info-panel text to justified (with hyphenation, per earlier request) instead of ragged-right.
Self-hosted, subset to exactly the glyphs the site uses (fonttools --unicodes), so the pair is smaller (6.4+6.3KB) than the curly-slab files they replace despite covering en+de plus shell/tree symbols.
kgva can now be edited through openbureau-core instead of Decap: a small Node CMS
(git subtree at cms/core) with a schema-driven editor at /admin, file-based login
(no Supabase/Postgres), Markdown on disk. cms/kgva.config.js models the content
(portfolio/pages/sections); docker-compose builds the core image (Hugo 0.163.3,
no VITE_SUPABASE_URL → local-auth admin) and mounts the repo as the site. seed an
admin via cms/seed-admin.mjs; deploy/provision-lxc.sh + ADMIN.md updated.
Verified DB-less end-to-end on real content (staged): local login → schema-driven
editor → 42 entries (de/en) → stats → create/preview/cleanup; unknown frontmatter
(image galleries) preserved on save. The LIVE static site (CT130 timer→hugo→nginx)
is unaffected — hugo ignores cms/; the CMS is dormant until provisioned.
