Thanks for putting this up! A few feedback notes to feed claudio:
For (2), these both look a bit weirdly off center to me: 
|
- Run bundle install in the jekyll/builder container so pinned gem versions resolve (fixes GemNotFound on the :latest image) - Widen page-intro and jobs-copy max-width so intro paragraphs fill the column on large screens instead of wrapping short - Capitalize "Bitcoin" in prose on projects.html and team bios - Our Work copy edits: "and the Consensus Cleanup", reworded Events and Residency descriptions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The :latest image drifted to Ruby 3.4 + Bundler 2.6.9, which downgrades to the lockfile's Bundler 2.1.4 and crashes on Ruby 3.4. Pinning to the 4.1.x-era image restores a compatible Ruby/Bundler while bundle install fetches the exact locked gem versions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 4.1.0 image's RubyGems is too old for the lockfile's modern deps (ffi 1.17.0). The latest image has a new enough RubyGems; bumping BUNDLED WITH to 2.6.9 stops it from downgrading to Bundler 2.1.4, which crashes on Ruby 3.4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without bundle exec the container's global jekyll 4.4.1 loads, activating public_suffix 7.0.5 and conflicting with the bundled 5.1.1. bundle exec uses the locked jekyll 4.1.1 and matching dependencies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ruby 3.4 removed these from the default gems, but Jekyll 4.1.1 requires csv (and base64/logger), causing a LoadError in the container. Declaring them in the Gemfile makes bundle install provide them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
liquid requires bigdecimal, which Ruby 3.4 also removed from default gems. Adding bigdecimal and ostruct keeps the bundled dependency tree loadable under Ruby 3.4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Replace Jobs hero with the Chrysler Building sunset panorama and the About photo with a NYC sunset skyline (web-optimized JPGs) - Add "Our team has worked on" publications list to the Research page with matching styling Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A few review notes from claude about cleanups we need:
CSS breakage from the restructure
- projects.html:7 / research.html:7 — adding <div class="page-intro"> as the first child of .projects-container means the .projects-row:first-child rules (_sass/main.scss:133 plus several mobile overrides) no longer match anything. The first row on both pages loses its white top rule and padding on desktop, and the mobile first-row overrides stop applying. Switching to :first-of-type or an explicit class fixes it.
- about.html:30 — deleting the street-address block left id="first-row" on the email row, so the address-specific styling (main.scss:328: no top border, heavy white bottom border, 2rem padding) now mis-renders the contact list with a double divider. Remove the id or the rule.
- projects.html:24 — the .section-lead inside .page-intro never gets its margin-bottom: 0 because the nested .page-intro p rule wins on specificity, so lead-paragraph spacing is inconsistent with the same class used elsewhere on the page.
Blog removal fallout
- _config.yml:33 — jekyll-feed is still enabled with zero posts, so /feed.xml publishes as a permanently empty feed for existing RSS subscribers, and all old blog/post URLs now hard-404 with no redirects. Worth dropping the plugin and deciding whether the old URLs deserve redirects.
- _sass/main.scss — roughly 250 lines of now-dead CSS (.blog-*, .post-*, .author-*, jobs listing classes) plus orphaned _data/authors.yml (which still contains a placeholder test bio), _data/jobs.yml, and a dozen blog-era images. Cleaner to delete these in the same change.

I think this would look a bit better with the main paragraph, rather than underneath this list? What do you think?

Formatting here still looks slightly off to me, but if you think it looks fine then happy to just leave it!

If we remove <div class="contact-row" id="first-row"> we won't have the thicker line randomly below our email address

Small patch to move some photos around: photo-swap.patch (can just ask claude to apply it!) |
