**Site Infrastructure and Redirect Hygiene**
- All short vanity URLs (/1/, /c/, /free/, /h/, /p/, /v/) were reviewed and standardised. Earlier bare meta-refresh stubs were replaced with a consistent minimal redirect template incorporating canonical and noindex directives to improve crawl clarity and SEO hygiene.

**Documentation**

## Version 1.3.1

- 29 new pages have been published this week.

**Chaitali Content Development Cycle**
- [*Chaitali*](/chaitali/) is a structured TSAP content development event conducted from 1 March to 14 April 2026.
- The initiative aims to accelerate content creation while systematically improving existing pages.
- The cycle focuses on expanding articles, refining structure and documentation, correcting inconsistencies, strengthening metadata and internal linking, and enhancing overall site quality within a defined time-bound period.

**Version Management**
- Centralised site version management was introduced by adding a global `tsap_version` variable in `_config.yml`.
- The site footer now dynamically displays the current version using `{{ site.tsap_version }}`, replacing the previously hardcoded version number.

**Clusters**
- Work on the [*Mint*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-mint/) newspaper cluster was completed during this cycle.
- This is now one of the largest clusters on TSAP, containing 59 total articles.
- Work also began on the [*Firstpost*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-firstpost/) cluster with new articles added and organised.

**Header Enhancements**
- A header statistics strip was added below the site tagline.
- The strip displays: Live page count linking to [/newest/](/newest/), Category count linking to [/categories/](/categories/)

**Categories Page Redesign**
- The [/categories/](/categories/) index page was rebuilt.
- The new interface includes: Search box, Three sorting modes (A–Z, Z–A, by count), Live result count, Category descriptions pulled directly from each category page's YAML front matter

**Codespaces Workflow**
- A GitHub Codespaces workflow was introduced to support batch editing across multiple files.
- A Codespace workspace was created and configured for the repository.
- The first batch update used this environment to add the internal link [Sunil Abraham](/sunil/) to the lead sections of several media articles.
- Changes were committed as a [single grouped commit](https://github.com/sunilabrahamindia/sunilabraham/commit/27013b96704dba125e185e4bd210d0edef75b544) and synced back to the repository.
- This establishes a repeatable workflow for future multi-page edits such as internal linking and metadata updates.

**Codespaces Access Issue**
- After several edits (approximately 8–10) made through Codespaces, an error message appeared indicating "secondary limit hit, too many requests."
- Following this, some images and GitHub file pages using the `blob` URL pattern became intermittently inaccessible across devices.
- The issue did not appear to be related to code changes or image locations.
- It remains unclear whether the behaviour was triggered by Codespaces usage or by GitHub request limits.

**Status** ✅ Done

**Status** ✅ Done  
Completion date: 21 March 2026

## Version 1.4

- 54 new pages have been published this week (22 March – 29 March).

**Milestone**
- The Sunil Abraham Project reached 800 published articles with the publication of [«Биометрические ID в Индии становятся инструментом тотальной слежки»](/media/aadhaar-biometric-surveillance-hightech-fm/) (English: Biometric IDs in India Are Becoming a Tool of Total Surveillance).

**Clusters**
- Work was carried out across multiple clusters, including: [*The Wall Street Journal*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-wall-street-journal/), [*HuffPost*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-huffpost/), [*The Independent*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-the-independent/)

**Event Pages: Natural Language–Structured Data Hybrid System**
- A structured event documentation system was designed and built from scratch, combining a natural language, Wikipedia-style narrative lead with a Wikidata-inspired structured data block.
- Each event page follows the permalink structure `/events/YYYY/event-name/` and is categorised as either *Events participated* or *Events organised*, depending on Sunil Abraham's role.

**Page Structure**
- Each event page contains a human-readable lead section followed by a structured data infobox rendered from YAML front matter.
- The infobox is stored in `_includes/event-infobox.html` and pulls property labels dynamically from `_data/properties.yml`, a custom property registry modelled on Wikidata's property system (P1–P6).
- This separation of data, meaning, and presentation ensures consistency across all event pages without hardcoding labels in HTML.

**Infobox Design**
- The infobox renders as a flat two-column table with a blue left accent bar, italic property labels, and Unicode icons per field:
  - 🏷️ instance of  
  - 📅 date  
  - 📍 location  
  - 🎭 role  
  - 🏛️ organiser  
  - 🌐 official website  
- RDFa attributes (`vocab="https://schema.org/"`, `typeof="Event"`, `property=""`) are included on all fields, making event data machine-readable by Google's Knowledge Graph and schema.org validators.
- The heading "Event details" appears above the table, outside the border.

**Property Registry**
- `_data/properties.yml` defines six properties with internal IDs (P1–P6) and human-readable labels.
- Page YAML remains human-readable (`event_type`, `location`, etc.), while the infobox resolves labels dynamically via `site.data.properties`.
- This enables site-wide label changes from a single file.

**Query System**
- A dedicated event query interface was built, modelled on the Wikidata Query Service UI.
- It extracts all event pages at Jekyll build time into a JavaScript data array using Liquid, then filters client-side with no backend required.
- Features include tag-chip inputs with autocomplete (event type, location, organiser, role), keyword search, date range filters, sortable table and card views, CSV and JSON export, and URL state syncing via `history.replaceState()` for shareable queries.

**Event Page**
- The first event page created under this system is [Pune Public Policy Festival 2026](/events/2026/pune-public-policy-festival/).

**Relevant Files**
- `_includes/event-infobox.html` — infobox template  
- `_data/properties.yml` — property registry  
- `/events/2026/pune-public-policy-festival.md` — first event page  
- Live page: https://sunilabraham.in/events/2026/pune-public-policy-festival/

**Cluster Audit**
- The Times of India cluster ([*The Times of India*](/clusters/sunil-abraham-times-of-india/)) was rechecked, and additional previously missed articles were identified and added.

**Recent Changes Page**
- Work began on the [Recent Changes](/recent-changes/) page using the GitHub API to display recent edits with filtering and pagination.
- Initial improvements include author mapping and cleaner display of changes.
- Further work is planned to correctly map files to their actual page URLs and improve usability.

- A dedicated documentation page listing all templates with usage examples was created at [/tsap/templates/](/tsap/templates/).

**Template Redesign**
- The `notice.html`, `stub.html`, and `under-construction.html` templates were redesigned for visual consistency with a left border layout, white or near-white background, consistent link colours, and `role="note"` for accessibility.

**Status** ✅ Done  
Completion date: 16 May 2026

## Version 1.7.1

- 31 new pages have been published this week between 17 May 2026 and 23 May 2026.
- TSAP crossed 1,000 published pages with the publication of [Sunil Abraham on Aaron Swartz](/sunil/aaron-swartz/).

**Zenodo Archives**
- Started [Zenodo Archives](/zenodo/), a page listing DOI-backed archival editions and preserved research publications archived on Zenodo.
- The page documents TSAP-related material archived on the open-access research repository operated by CERN and OpenAIRE.
- Archived and preserved TSAP content published on Zenodo will continue to be indexed and linked from this section.

**Authority Control**
- Began work on [Authority Control](/authority-control/).
- Created dedicated authority control pages for [A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel](/amaa/authority-control/), [Centre for Internet and Society](/cis/authority-control/), and [Sunil Abraham](/sunil/authority-control/).

**Dual Deployment Experiment**
- Experimented with simultaneous deployment of the same GitHub repository to both GitHub Pages and Cloudflare Pages, establishing a dual-deployment architecture with https://sunilabraham.in/ remaining the canonical public site and a secondary Cloudflare Pages deployment functioning as a mirror and backup.
- The Cloudflare Pages deployment was configured using the existing Jekyll workflow (`jekyll build`, output directory `_site`) directly from the `main` branch without affecting the GitHub Pages setup, DNS configuration, or custom domain settings.
- Testing confirmed that commits triggered independent deployment pipelines on both platforms simultaneously from the same repository and branch.
- Significant investigation was carried out into preventing indexing of the Cloudflare mirror by search engines.
- The adopted solution used a Cloudflare Pages `_headers` configuration file containing hostname-specific `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive` rules targeting only the Cloudflare deployment.
- A conditional client-side hostname detection system was also implemented so that the Cloudflare deployment displays itself as a mirror while the primary deployment retains the normal subtitle.

**Status** ✅ Done  
Completion date: 23 May 2026

## Version 1.8

- 25 new pages have been published this week between 24 May 2026 and 30 May 2026.

**Print and PDF Output Improvements**
- Began implementing a dedicated print stylesheet for The Sunil Abraham Project (TSAP).
- The new print system removes navigation, headers, footers, utility toolboxes, share bars, navboxes, metadata clutter, animations, and other non-essential interface elements from printed pages.
- The stylesheet preserves readable typography, article structure, tables, images, and core content while providing cleaner document-style rendering suitable for offline reading, archival use, and future TSAP Books and Pandoc-based export workflows.

**Utility Bar Redesign**
- Redesigned and simplified the TSAP top utility bar.
- Replaced the earlier social-share-focused layout with a cleaner utility-oriented interface featuring a compact search box, RSS feed access, and PDF/print support.
- Existing sticky-header spacing and mobile responsiveness were preserved.

**TSAP Documentation**
- Published [VS Code Workflow](/tsap/vscode/), a guide to using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for maintaining The Sunil Abraham Project.
- The guide covers Git workflow, shortcuts, and practical editing practices.

**Dark Mode Foundation**
- Implemented an experimental manual dark mode foundation for The Sunil Abraham Project.
- The system uses a hidden class-based architecture (`tsap-dark-mode`) rather than automatic system-wide activation.
- Initial implementation includes foundational dark styling for surfaces, typography, links, tables, breadcrumbs, and the footer.
- The public site remains in stable light mode by default.
- Dark mode can be enabled selectively through URL parameters and persistent local storage for testing and incremental refinement.
- The architecture supports gradual page-by-page and component-level dark mode development without disrupting the primary public experience.

**NotebookLM Experiment**
- Created and curated the public-facing [Essays on Dalits, Religion and Liberation Notebook](https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/05af378a-8138-41d1-aed7-a99a227da945).
- The notebook was developed using Google's NotebookLM platform and is based on the collected writings, essays, and archival materials of A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel.
- It serves as an experimental research and public-access tool supporting contextual exploration, thematic synthesis, and conversational engagement with Ayrookuzhiel's work on Dalit liberation, religion, caste, and social transformation.

## Version 1.9

- 16 new pages have been published this week between 31 May 2026 and 6 June 2026.

**Preservation**
- Preserved the TSAP GitHub repository in [Software Heritage](https://www.softwareheritage.org/), creating an independently archived copy of the repository and its Git history.
- This preservation milestone has been documented on the [Preservation](/tsap/preservation/) page.

**Automatic Last Updated Dates**
- Implemented [Automatic Last Updated Dates](/tsap/automatic-last-updated-dates-documentation/), a Git-based system that generates page modification dates from repository history and displays them automatically through the Page Data component.
- The system uses a Python script to create a structured YAML data file, eliminating the need for manual maintenance of `last_updated` fields while remaining compatible with GitHub Pages and static-site workflows.

**Release History**
- Established a formal release history for TSAP by creating and publishing the retrospective GitHub release TSAP Version 1.0.
- The release is anchored to a historical repository snapshot from 1 January 2026 through the Git tag `v1.0`, providing a preserved and verifiable reference point within the project's development history.

**Homepage Automation**
- Automated the "From the Newest Pages" section on the homepage.
- Replaced the manually maintained list with a metadata-driven system based on the `homepage_featured: true` parameter.
- Featured pages are now automatically sorted by creation date, with the five most recent pages displayed on the homepage.

**GitHub Issues**
- Began using the [TSAP GitHub Issues Tracker](/tsap/issues/) for tracking bugs, investigations, maintenance tasks, and feature development.
- GitHub Issues now serves as a centralised and version-controlled location for documenting, investigating, and resolving project-related work.

**Broken Links Checker**
- Implemented a [Broken Links Checker](/tsap/broken-links-checker-documentation/), a sitemap-driven maintenance system that identifies internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist.
- The system compares repository links against URLs published in the live sitemap and generates a structured YAML report for integration with the Maintenance dashboard.
- Using the sitemap as the authoritative source significantly reduces false positives while remaining compatible with GitHub Pages and static-site workflows.

**TSAP Tools Used**
- Created the [TSAP Tools](/tsap/tools/) page documenting the software, services, platforms, and technologies used in the operation and maintenance of The Sunil Abraham Project.

**Top Utility Bar**
- Replaced the previous floating utility box with a top-left hamburger drawer integrated into the fixed top bar.
- Search functionality remains accessible from the right side of the interface while utility controls are housed within the drawer.
- The implementation includes responsive sizing, keyboard support, ARIA states, and backdrop-close functionality.
- The feature remains experimental and may undergo further refinement.

**A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel**
- Started the chapter-by-chapter digital edition of *Swami Anand Thirth: Untouchability, Gandhian Solution on Trial* by Rev. A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel.
- Work included creating a dedicated Swami Anand Thirth category, publishing standalone full-text pages for the original Preface and Introduction, integrating the material into site navigation, and documenting significant textual differences between the 1987 edition and the version preserved in *Essays on Dalits, Religion and Liberation* (2006).

**Infrastructure**
- Migrated DNS management for `sunilabraham.in` from BigRock DNS to Cloudflare DNS while retaining BigRock as the domain registrar.
- The migration included DNS auditing, record verification, restoration of omitted records discovered during import, nameserver deployment, and activation testing.
- The result is that DNS authority now resides with Cloudflare while registration and renewal responsibilities remain with BigRock.
- Implemented custom-domain email support for `sunilabraham.in` using Cloudflare Email Routing.
- The deployment included DNS configuration, inbound and outbound mail testing, and verification across multiple providers and devices.
- The configuration provides custom-domain email capability without requiring a separate email-hosting service.

**Biography Portal**
- Started the [Biography Portal](/tsap/biography/).
- The portal documents TSAP's work on creating biographies of individuals whose lives and contributions are relevant to the project's areas of interest.

**Status** ✅ Done  
Completion date: 7 June 2026 (morning)

## Version 1.9.1

- 16 new pages have been published this week between 7 June 2026 and 13 June 2026.

**Pages Index System**
- Implemented a Pages Index system using a generated `/pages.json` file, creating a machine-readable catalogue of content published on The Sunil Abraham Project.
- The system uses a Python script (`scripts/generate_pages_json.py`) to scan repository content, extract selected metadata, and generate a structured JSON index containing page titles, descriptions, creation dates, authors, categories, sources, and canonical URLs.
- Only pages containing a `created` field are included in the index.
- The generated file is published at [/pages.json](/pages.json) and currently indexes more than one thousand pages.
- The index serves as a retrieval layer for external tools and bots, enabling rapid content discovery without requiring direct access to Jekyll internals or repository files.

**Cryptographic Signing**
- Implemented a cryptographic signing and verification system for The Sunil Abraham Project using OpenPGP.
- The system provides authenticity, integrity, and long-term verifiability for selected institutional documents.
- TSAP now maintains a public cryptographic signing policy covering signing scope, identity management, verification procedures, and signed records.
- Signatures are currently issued using the OpenPGP key of Tito Dutta acting on behalf of TSAP.
- A register of signed documents has been established, including the [Foundational Principles](/tsap/foundational-principles/) adopted on 31 May 2026 and cryptographically signed on 10 June 2026.

**TSAPBot**
- Implemented a private Telegram-based AI assistant (TSAPBot) for project administration, content discovery, and retrieval.
- The bot combines conversational AI capabilities with a retrieval layer powered by `/pages.json`.
- Current functionality includes content search, newest-page discovery, on-this-day page lookup, random page selection, index statistics, and index refresh operations.
- The bot also supports conversation memory, multilingual responses, and project-specific guidance through structured prompts and known facts.
- By combining AI assistance with retrieval from project-owned data, TSAPBot serves as both a private assistant and a lightweight interface for exploring and maintaining the project.

**Footer Improvements**
- Reorganised and simplified the TSAP footer to improve usability, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.
- Navigation links were grouped into logical sections covering project information, site navigation, and digital preservation.
- Footer-specific styling was moved into the footer include, making the component self-contained and easier to maintain.
- Added direct access to archived versions of pages through the Wayback Machine, Archive.today, and Ghost Archive, along with additional accessibility-related improvements.

**Keyboard Shortcuts**
- Added a keyboard shortcut for the Newest Pages section.
- `Alt + Shift + W` now opens [/newest/](/newest/).

## Version 2.0

This report covers the period between 14 June 2026 and 16 June 2026. During this period, 8 new pages were published. With this report, the Project completes **Version 2.0**.

**Page ID System**
- Implemented a permanent Page ID system across The Sunil Abraham Project (TSAP). Each eligible page now receives a stable identifier in the format `TSAP-0001`, `TSAP-0002`, and so forth, stored as `page_id` in front matter. On 16 June 2026, identifiers were assigned to 1,069 existing pages through a repository-wide migration. The system establishes a foundation for future structured-data workflows, JSON exports, internal reference systems, maintenance tooling, and potential knowledge-graph applications while ensuring that identifiers remain permanent and are never reused.

**Family Data System**
- Initiated a structured Family Data system through the creation of `_data/family.yml`. The system serves as a central repository for family and biographical relationship data already documented within TSAP, allowing information to be maintained in one location and reused across multiple pages, infoboxes, timelines, navigation aids, and future visualisations. This represents an initial step towards modelling relationships as structured data rather than solely as prose.

**Version 2.0 Milestone**
- The Sunil Abraham Project reached **Version 2.0** on Wednesday, 17 June 2026.

**Reporting Schedule**
- As Version 2.0 was completed and reported mid-week, there will be **no weekly report on Sunday, 21 June 2026**.
- The regular weekly reporting cycle will resume on **Sunday, 28 June 2026**.
