How this site got the way it is, newest first. The entry says what changed; beside a few, a note says why, in the maker’s hand. “Considered options” opens what else was on the table.

   The fall list drops September 1

   Once a session has met, its date leaves the list. The strip always reads forward.

   The session card in the house palette; Bricolage everywhere

   Cream ground, dark text, red accents; the divider rule goes. Arial gives way to Bricolage Grotesque site-wide, matching the flyers.

   The tagline. The fall run extends through December 15.

   The fall schedule, on the homepage

   A plain static list of the fall run near the Next Session box: scannable, and it survives iframe-blocking. The meta description stops saying February.

   Prune the drifted pages

   why, helpful-things, links, materials, and sessions retire behind redirects. Field trips is refreshed as its own home instead of pruned.

   Register is the Luma page

   Register goes to the Luma calendar site-wide; register.html becomes an instant redirect so old links and QR codes keep working. The email list stays its own door.

   RSVP on the hero; the calendar on Details

   The hand-edited Upcoming lists give way to the self-updating Luma embed. An RSVP button on the session box, patched per session.

    The Sessions page leaves the nav

    Kept at its URL, out of the nav. Summer Wende sessions added; the spring flyer comes down.

    The homepage form writes to a sheet

    The dead Kit popup is replaced with a Google Sheets endpoint. The roster of record stays the sheet.

    Elsewhere joins the footer

    A row linking the other four properties on every page, where before there was only an attribution line.
