VERSION v0.96 — 2026-04-15 [rebuild_pass26.py — mobile auth Sign In/Sign Out fix]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.95:
- Firestore block rendering working correctly on generated pages.
- Forum index deployed with working search, online counts, title bar.
FIXED:
- Item 1: Mobile hamburger menu now shows "Sign In" (not logged in),
"Sign Out" (member), "Admin" + "Sign Out" (admin). Fixed double-brace
bug in auth_script_html() that produced invalid JS on all generated
pages. Fixed text on all 11 static/forum pages. Removed duplicate
mob_admin block from static pages.
- Item 2: Forum index magnifying glass 🔍 now far-right on Total members
line. Moved button outside inner div to be direct flex child of
forum-online-bar (justify-content:space-between).
- Item 3: Forum index mobile title bar: "Sign In" button right-aligned on
same line as "ERBfirsts Forum". JS updates to "Sign Out" when logged in.
- Item 6: Layout Editor v4.4 → v4.5. Save button is now gray when clean,
gold when dirty (unsaved changes). dirty class added/removed at
markDirty(), saveBook() success, loadBook(), and _reloadBlocksForMode().
- Item 7: Version log updated. Entries added for pass24, pass25, pass26.

================================================================================

VERSION v0.95a — 2026-04-13 [rebuild_pass24.py — hamburger on static pages]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.94:
- Auth/login working correctly on generated book pages.
FIXED:
- Mobile hamburger menu added to all static and forum pages
(erb-dj, erb-feast, erb-signatures, erb-sell, erb-erblinks, erb-misc,

VERSION v0.95 — 2026-04-13 [rebuild_pass23.py — Firestore block rendering]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.94:
- All auth/login fixes working: Google sign-in completes, redirects to
originating page, nav switches to Admin after login.
FIXED:
- Generator now reads block layout data from Firestore books/{bookId} at
build time. Books with saved editor data render identifier and photos
sections from Firestore blocks. All other books fall back to hardcoded
data unchanged. Phase 1: text, image, label_image, photo, dj block types.
- Layout Editor v2.6: added Copy Blocks button (copies blocks JSON to
clipboard for debugging and data inspection).
- Firestore rules: books collection read access changed to public (allows
generator to fetch without credentials).

================================================================================
VERSION v0.94 — 2026-04-12 [rebuild_pass23.py — auth domain + returnUrl nav fix]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.93:
- Google sign-in redirect not completing: getRedirectResult returning null
due to cross-origin storage issue between erbfirsts.com and
erbfirsts-d5f0b.firebaseapp.com. Auth session never established after
Google redirect, onAuthStateChanged fired with null user. Nav stayed on
My Account instead of switching to Admin.
- Generated pages missing returnUrl onclick on My Account nav link, so
returnUrl always defaulted to https://erbfirsts.com regardless of
originating page.
- DeployERBFirsts BAT closing on Step 2 when filename had Windows duplicate
suffix e.g. (4) — parentheses in filename broke cmd pipe parsing.
FIXED:
- authDomain changed from erbfirsts-d5f0b.firebaseapp.com to erbfirsts.com
on all pages (15 static/forum + all 80 generated). Auth redirect now
stays on erbfirsts.com domain via Firebase Hosting /__/auth/handler,
resolving cross-origin storage issue. Sign-in completes correctly,
Admin nav updates after login.
- returnUrl onclick added to nav-account-link on all generated pages
(cover pages + detail pages) in nav_html(). returnUrl now correctly
encodes originating page URL.
- DeployERBFirsts v22: strip (N) duplicate suffix and -vX.Y version suffix
moved to top of ROUTEFILE before any echo/pipe commands.
- erb-forum-login.html footer changed from forum category links to
standard site footer (Home / Tarzan / MPV / Other)

VERSION v0.93 — 2026-04-12 [rebuild_pass22.py — nav layout editor link]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.92:
- Page Layout Editor nav link had href="#" (placeholder) on all pages
FIXED:
- nav_html() updated: Page Layout Editor now links to erb-layout-editor.html
target="_blank" on all generator-produced pages (covers + detail pages)
- Full regeneration of all 80 cover/detail pages
================================================================================
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.92 — 2026-04-11 [erb-rebuild_pass22.py — generator renamed]
================================================================================
FIXED:
- Generator renamed to erb-rebuild_pass22.py so BAT can accept it as a
single file deploy or in a zip. BAT strips erb- prefix when saving to
project root. All unnecessary BAT complexity reverted.
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.91 — 2026-04-11 [rebuild_pass22.py — auto-run verification on expand]
================================================================================

immediately on expand — no separate Run button needed
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.90 — 2026-04-11 [rebuild_pass22.py — embed verification in Claude Chats]
================================================================================

================================================================================
FIXED:
- erb-forum-login.html: set browserSessionPersistence so login session clears
when browser tab/window is closed — prevents next user seeing prior
user's account and posting under their identity
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.88 — 2026-04-11 [rebuild_pass22.py — nav visibility + returnUrl]
================================================================================
FIXED:
- erb-forum-index.html: sessionStorage script wrapped in DOMContentLoaded
so nav-last-item visibility is set correctly after element exists in DOM
- erb-forum-login.html: after login redirects to returnUrl parameter if
present, otherwise falls back to forum index
- All pages: My Account link passes current page URL as returnUrl so user
returns to originating page after login
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.87 — 2026-04-11 [rebuild_pass22.py — fix login redirect]
================================================================================
FIXED:
- erb-forum-login.html: after Google login, redirect now uses absolute URL
https://erbfirsts.com/forum/erb-forum-index.html instead of relative URL
which was keeping users on erbfirsts-d5f0b.web.app (old cached version)
================================================================================
================================================================================

================================================================================
FIXED:
- erb-verify.html: column header rename had incorrectly renamed JS variable
EXPECTED to "FIREBASE VALUE" (with space) — invalid identifier, crashed
script silently. Restored JS variable to EXPECTED; HTML header stays
"Firebase Value"
================================================================================

================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.47: Footer green bar full viewport width on all main site
pages. Spine images on detail pages stretched to full content width.
FIXED:
- erb-style.css: footer restored to padding:4px with max-width:var(--content-width)
and margin:0 auto — green bar now constrained to content width, matching
forum pages (same fix as v0.26 which was incorrectly reverted)
- rebuild_pass22.py: spine images now use spine-wrap class instead of
full-img-wrap — .spine-wrap img uses width:auto;max-height:500px so
spine images display at natural proportions, not stretched to full width
- All generated pages rebuilt with both fixes
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.47 — 2026-04-07 [index.html exact rebuild]
================================================================================

FIXED:
- index.html: rebuilt from live source with exactly 2 changes only:
1. visibility:hidden on nav-last-item (matches all other pages)
2. sessionStorage auth script appended before </body>
All other content byte-for-byte identical to working v0.23 source

================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.45: Bookshelf on Home page appearing large at bottom of page
instead of in right column. Caused by footer CSS change during forum build.
FIXED:
- erb-style.css: footer padding restored to 2rem 1.5rem, max-width and
margin:0 auto removed — these were causing the home-layout grid to
render incorrectly, pushing the aside/bookshelf out of position
- Forum pages have their own inline footer style so unaffected
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.45 — 2026-04-07 [index.html properly rebuilt]

old nav without nav-last-item or Admin/My Account.
FIXED:
- rebuild_pass21.py: html{overflow-y:scroll} added to CSS — permanent
- Auth script: sessionStorage caching added to all pages
On load: reads sessionStorage instantly — no Firebase wait, no flicker
Firebase confirms in background — only updates DOM if role changed
Sign-out: clears sessionStorage so My Account shows correctly
- erb-versionlog.html: nav rebuilt to current correct structure
- All static + forum pages: new sessionStorage auth applied
================================================================================
================================================================================

VERSION v0.26 — 2026-04-06 [rebuild_pass16.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.25: Footer green bar too wide (full viewport width) and too
much padding (2rem top/bottom) on all pages. Forum page footer also had
wrong color and excess padding.
FIXED:
- erb-style.css: footer padding reduced from 2rem to 4px
- erb-style.css: footer max-width set to var(--content-width) with margin auto
— green bar now constrained to content width, not full viewport
- erb-forum-index.html: footer inline style updated to match global footer
(same dark green #2d4a2d, 4px padding, content-width constrained)
- All generated pages rebuilt with updated CSS
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.25 — 2026-04-06 [rebuild_pass16.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.24: Forum nav link on all generator-built pages still pointed
to old phpbb2 forum. Misc dropdown in generator had old items (ERB Interview,
Tour of Ekstrom Library) not matching live site. erb-forum-index.html logo
shifted left due to wrong header structure (erb-title vs logo-nav-wrap).
FIXED:
- rebuild_pass16.py: Forum nav link updated from phpbb2 to
{prefix}/forum/erb-forum-index.html — works correctly for both
root-level cover pages (.) and subfolder detail pages (..)
- rebuild_pass16.py: Misc dropdown corrected to match live site:
For Sale, Links - ERB Related, Media Files, Mystery Inscription, Version Log
- rebuild_pass16.py: pre-existing bug fixed in build_other_detail —
prev_lk_pn_bot / next_lk_pn_bot variables were missing (NameError)
- erb-forum-index.html: header fixed — logo-nav-wrap replaces erb-title,
forum-nav-wrap moved inside logo-nav-wrap, <a> wrapper removed from logo
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.24 — 2026-04-06 [no generator — forum build Pass 1]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.23: Forum nav item still linked to old phpBB2 forum at
erbfirsts.com/phpbb2/. New forum build not yet started.
FIXED:
- Forum Pass 1: static shell pages created for new Firebase-based forum
erb-forum-index.html — forum index with 6 categories, stats bar,
who's-online strip, Login to Post prompt, responsive layout
erb-forum.css — forum-specific styles extending erb-style.css
Both files use erb-forum-* naming convention for BAT routing
- DeployERBFirsts_17.bat: two additions for forum support
Added: if not exist "%PUBDIR% orum" mkdir "%PUBDIR% orum"
Added: erb-forum routing rule — ^erb-forum prefix routes to public orum\
STILL TO DO:
- Update main site nav Forum link from phpbb2 to forum/erb-forum-index.html
(deferred until forum is fully built and live)
- Forum Pass 2: category/topics listing page
- Forum Pass 3: topic/post page with reply composer + file attachments
- Forum Pass 4: Google login (Firebase Auth)
- Forum Pass 5: Admin panel + configurable settings
- Forum Pass 6: Moderation queue + ban/view-only controls

================================================================================

Buy/Sell box still on home page. Old ERB Interview and Library Tour pages
separate with no modern styling.
FIXED:
- erb-misc.html rebuilt as "Media Files" page with:
HTML5 video player for ERB_library_visit.mp4 (960x720 display)

Description text from original pages preserved
- index.html: removed For Sale / Buy ERB box from sidebar
- All modern static pages: Misc dropdown updated —
removed "ERB Interview" and "Tour of Ekstrom Library"
added "Media Files" after "Links — ERB Related"
- DeployERBFirsts.bat: added public/media/ folder creation
added .mp3/.mp4/.wmv routing to public/media/
retained ROUTING debug lines and rename try/catch fix
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.22 — 2026-04-05 [no generator changes — static pages only]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.21: F.E.A.S.T. report pages were old Word-exported HTML with
no site styling. Monthly prior report links broken (wrong extensions).
erb-feast.html section order wrong. No sort functionality.
FIXED:
- All 12 x 2005 monthly FEAST reports rebuilt as clean modern HTML with:
site fonts (Playfair Display + Source Serif 4), mustard header color (#eec400),
sticky column header, N/A for Auto-Biography date, $0 values → blank,
typo fixed (City ofGold → City of Gold)
- All 19 x 2003/2004 monthly FEAST reports rebuilt with same styling
- erb-feast.html section reorder: title → subtitle → meta line → table →
Prior Reports box → intro paragraph → footnotes → footer
- erb-feast.html: "below" → "above" in intro paragraph
- erb-feast.html: all 2005 monthly links fixed from .htm → .html
- erb-feast.html: all 2004 monthly links fixed from .htm → .html
- erb-feast.html: Prior Reports links open in new tab (target=_blank)
- erb-feast.html: compact meta line — Total left, FINAL REPORT center,
REPORT DATE right, all on one line
- erb-feast.html: sticky logo/nav (position:sticky on .erb-header)
- erb-feast.html: sticky table header rows offset by nav height via window.load
- erb-feast.html: sortable columns — click to sort asc/desc/default series order;
# column always shows sequential row number; ▲/▼ sort indicators
- erb-feast.html: sort click scrolls page to table header position below nav
- DeployERBFirsts.bat: rename fix — try/catch suppresses red error when
ERBFirsts-*.zip already exists in Downloads
- DeployERBFirsts.bat: ROUTING/EXT-CHECK/AFTER-CLEAN debug lines added to
diagnose why erb-feast.html was not being deployed from zip
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.21 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.20: Research pages (erb-dj, erb-feast, erb-signatures) still had
old nav missing Version Log in Misc dropdown.
FIXED:
- Nav updated on all 3 Research pages with correct Misc dropdown
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.20 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.19: Version number still showing on home page. Static pages
(erb-misc, erb-sell, erb-erblinks, erb-inscription, home) had outdated nav
missing Version Log in Misc dropdown.
FIXED:
- Version number removed from home page footer
- All static pages nav updated with correct Misc dropdown including Version Log
- Consistent nav across all page types (home, covers, detail, static)
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.19 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.18: Version number showing on cover pages and home; home showing
stale version. Version number should only appear on Version Log page.
FIXED:
- Removed version number from all cover pages (Tarzan, MPV, Other)
- Removed version number from all static pages except home and version log
- Version log page now shows current version number next to heading
- Home page updated to v0.19
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.18 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.17: Reprint anchor working but landing slightly too high (194px).
FIXED:
- scroll-margin-top reduced from 194px to 150px on reprints anchor
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.17 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.16: Reprint anchor landing 1/3 into Burt covers (consistent across
all books). Bottom nav scroll working. Anchor structure correct but insufficient
upward offset.
FIXED:
- Reprint anchor: added scroll-margin-top:194px to <a id="reprints"> element
(calculated from h2+h3+hr+spacing+1/3 image height = ~194px total offset)
- Version number and log updated
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.16 — 2026-04-02 [rebuild_pass15.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.15: Reprint button scroll approach wrong. Version log inaccurate.
FIXED:
- Reprint anchor: replaced scroll-margin approach with classic invisible offset
anchor: <a id="reprints" style="display:block;height:0;visibility:hidden;"></a>
placed immediately before <h2>Reprint Editions</h2>. Bulletproof HTML.
- Version log: completely rewritten with accurate entries for every version,
correct version numbers, generator script filename for each version,
what was fixed and what remained broken
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.15 — 2026-04-01 [rebuild_pass14.py — modified]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.14: Reprint button now lower than before (80px too much).
Version log had all entries incorrectly renamed to v0.11.
FIXED:
- scroll-margin-top reduced to 8px (nav scrolls away so minimal offset needed)
- Version log txt and HTML files updated (though log entries were still inaccurate)
STILL BROKEN:
- Reprint button still unreliable — scroll-margin-top approach fundamentally wrong
for this use case
- Version log entries were all labeled v0.11 (corrupted by blanket regex replacement
in an earlier session)
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.14 — 2026-04-01 [rebuild_pass14.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.13: Reprint button barely showing bottom of A.L. Burt text —
scroll-margin-top:10px not enough offset. Bottom nav landing in middle of page.
FIXED:
- scroll-margin-top on h2#reprints increased to 80px
- Bottom nav scroll: investigated — issue was scroll saving 'bottom' but
scrollHeight not reached due to timing; confirmed pn-bottom class working
and JS saving/restoring correctly
STILL BROKEN:
- Reprint button still not landing at "Reprint Editions" heading — scroll-margin-top
unreliable across browsers (80px overshoots because nav is not fixed/sticky)
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.13 — 2026-04-01 [rebuild_pass13.py]
================================================================================
RESULTS FROM v0.12: Acorn caption still below wrong photo. Reprint button still
not landing at "Reprint Editions" heading. Scroll position not working for
bottom nav arrows.
FIXED:
- ext_side_cap support added to Tarzan renderer: renders styled italic caption
in text box below ext_side image
- t1: ext_side_cap set with acorn caption text; ext_side_maxw reduced to 200px;
caption key removed from ident_paras copyright page item (was wrong location)
- Reprint section: id="reprints" moved from wrapper div to <h2> element directly;
scroll-margin-top:10px added — clicking button now scrolls to heading
- Scroll position save/restore: clicking top pn-left/pn-right saves window.scrollY
to sessionStorage; restored on page load
- Bottom nav: pn-bottom class added to bottom bar links; JS saves 'bottom' string;
on load restores to document.body.scrollHeight
STILL BROKEN:
- Reprint button landing just below "Reprint Editions" heading — scroll-margin-top
value needs adjustment
- Bottom nav scroll: landing in middle of page not at true bottom
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.12 — 2026-04-01 [rebuild_pass12.py]
================================================================================

above image. Acorn caption still wrong photo. t1_ext3 appearing twice.
FIXED:

standalone <p> suppressed when layout=row active
- t1 ident_imgs=None: cleared old ident_imgs entry that was causing t1_ext3 duplicate
- caption key added to ident_paras renderer: renders styled italic box below image
- t1: Acorn caption moved to caption key on the ext_side item (t1ext2.jpg);
removed from ident_paras copyright page item where it was wrongly placed
STILL BROKEN:
- Acorn caption still appearing below copyright page photo not below acorn spine photo
(ext_side and ident_paras are different rendering paths — caption key was added
to ident_paras renderer but ext_side doesn't use that path)
- Reprint button scrolling to middle of A.L. Burt text not to "Reprint Editions" heading
================================================================================
================================================================================
VERSION v0.11 — 2026-04-01 [rebuild_pass11.py]

- t1 OLD ENGLISH/GOTHIC: layout:row applied — each label now beside its photo
- t1: Acorn caption moved to caption key on copyright page photo item
- t24: extra= field cleared (removed duplicate label caption)

- Acorn caption still below wrong photo (copyright page not spine photo)
- t1 ident_imgs still set causing t1_ext3 to render twice

FIXED:

- display:inline-block;vertical-align:top added to ident_paras and ident_imgs
image renderers — photos now display side by side
