Summary

Template-level frontend overhaul of argand-archive (propagates to all instances, e.g. trumpswarcrimes.com) + a scheduled auto-update pipeline. Implements the design/plan in docs/superpowers/.

Frontend fixes (all template-level so they reach every instance)

Middle-mouse scroll (overflow-x: clip); content-page centering + ToC; search Ctrl+F→Ctrl+K; browse Apply-hide + facet overflow; single header search bar (drops redundant link+magnifier); per-visit random home entry; footer column merge + Tor/I2P; collapsible-month timeline + rail (drops Most Active); self-contained SVG choropleth map (replaces CSP-blocked Leaflet/OSM tiles); theme system-preference regression tests.

Auto-update pipeline

.forgejo/workflows/template-sync.yml (nightly sync → auto-merge PR) + deploy-on-main.yml; hardened sync-from-template.sh (port fix + conflict-proof preserve).

Pre-existing bug fixed (was blocking CI)

Implemented the missing news-pipeline/lib/openseeker-client.mjs that corroborate.mjs imported but was never written (dormant-by-default client for the OpenSeeker local research CLI; paren-safe URL extraction; deterministic jobId attribution). pnpm test is now 291/291 green (was 8 failing).

Verification

check 0 errors · components 37/37 · full vitest 291/291 · e2e 20✓/2 skip (axe 0 WCAG violations) · pa11y 12/12 · Lighthouse perf+budgets pass.

Rollout (bootstrap)

Merge to main.
On each existing instance (trumpswarcrimes.com first): run bash scripts/sync-from-template.sh once + bash scripts/deploy.sh (an instance cant auto-update to the version containing the auto-updater).
Per-instance: branch protection on main requiring the ci check + secrets FORGEJO_TOKEN / DEPLOY_*.
Nightly auto-update is then self-sustaining.

Verify-on-deploy (non-fatal)

The auto-merge call uses merge_when_checks_succeed:true (confirmed supported on Forgejo 14.0.5/gitea-1.22). If it ever fails, the sync PR simply stays open for manual merge.
The OpenSeeker client was coded from reading the OpenSeeker source (no live instance); the CLI invocation + artifact paths should be validated against a live OpenSeeker deployment. It is dormant unless OPENSEEKER_HOME+OPENSEEKER_CLI are set, so it is inert by default.

random home entry, about padding/ToC, browse facet overflow + auto-apply,

sticky rail (drop Most Active), self-contained SVG choropleth map, footer
merge + Tor/I2P, middle-mouse scroll. Plus scheduled per-instance template
sync -> PR -> auto-merge + deploy on green CI.

feat(footer): merge Behind/Project columns; render Tor/I2P/mirrors from resilience config 766960b975

- Merges footer-behind + footer-project nav placements into a single de-duplicated
  "The Project" column at the component level (propagates to all instances)
- Adds conditional Mirrors & access block driven by config.resilience (torOnion,
  i2p, mirrors[]) — renders only when at least one field is set
- Adds i2p field to resilienceSchema (52-char base32 .b32.i2p regex)
- Switches .site-footer__inner grid from repeat(3, 1fr) to auto-fit/minmax so the
  layout adapts to 2 or 3 columns without a fixed hardcode
- Adds footer.access / footer.tor / footer.i2p i18n keys to all 6 locale files
  (ar/es/fr/ru/zh-Hans translated; en authoritative)
- Updates e2e Tier 0 test: was toBe(3), now toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(2) with a
