A record of changes

Those who keep to the dark will find the halls changed. The cards and panels across the site now hold light: readouts framed in kyber-cyan, the rank ladder cut like the faces of a holocron, the High Command set in warm gold. What was flat has been given depth, and what was plain now carries a quiet charge.

The parchment reading mode is untouched. Those who prefer ink on vellum will find it as it always was; the new light is for the dark alone.

The site has gained a small set of further flourishes for those who would notice them. The sigil knows things; the cursor may, on request, leave a quiet trail of its own; the footer no longer says only one thing. There may also be a reward for visitors of older protocols.

Most of these are off by default, or visible only to those who look. Nothing imposes itself.

Several small features have been added for those who would use them. The Daily Reading recognises some passages with a little more attention; certain readings now offer a brief commentary for those who want to read further. The page also keeps a memory of passages you have marked, held privately in your browser.

The Trial of Knowledge now remembers your best result.

The workshop has gained a fourth instrument: a personal commonplace book, for keeping passages of your own choosing.

The site now observes a small number of dates in the year. You will know them when they come.

A threshold exists for those who arrive looking for one. It is not on any map of the site.

A Tools page has been added to the footer. It holds a small workshop of three instruments for the keepers, intended for those crafting characters and worldbuilding alongside the Order.

The site now quietly recognises certain accomplishments. A small gold notice may appear from time to time. Most are private to your browser.

This Updates page itself was added so members may see what is new at a glance.

The Assembly now lives at librariansassembly.org. The old web address still works and redirects here automatically, so no existing link is broken.

HTTPS is enforced; the site has been hardened in the background. Visitors will not notice the difference.

The Path page no longer lists requirements next to each rank. The descriptions stand on their own; the requirements remain documented elsewhere for those who need them.

A further layer was added to the page for the curious. The Order keeps record of its failures alongside its successes; some part of that record is now visible to those who would look for it.

Several quiet additions across the site:

• Pages now fade in softly between transitions
• The Charter has gained a small set of scholarly footnotes
• The topbar shows your current section on long pages
• The Daily Reading recognises consecutive visits
• The homepage now offers a passage from the Charter on each visit, alongside the Daily Reading
• A second palette is available for those who prefer parchment over ink
• In-universe terms now define themselves on hover or tap

A separate welcome.html page was added as a curated first impression for newcomers, intended for sharing in recruitment posts and DMs. It is deliberately not linked from the rest of the site, so it can serve as a gentler entrance for those who have not yet seen the Order.

Site-wide search has been added. A magnifying glass icon in the topbar opens it. Searches happen instantly in the browser, with no server involved.

Direct links can now be made to specific articles of the Charter, specific Pursuits of the Order, and specific sections of the Petition. Useful for sharing a particular passage rather than a whole page.

The site is now properly indexed for search engines and link previews.

The site was restructured from a single long-scroll homepage into a deliberate gateway and nine focused pages. Each major concept now has its own home: the Order, the Path, High Command, the Charter, Petition, the Oath, Voices, the Daily Reading.

The Charter has its own quiet layer for those who would read between the lines. The homepage holds two crystals; one of them is hidden, until it is not.
