Commons Polish, Cross-Links, and the Build Retrospective

Timeline

1. 1

   Start

   Documentation request

   Zeb asked for a full technical + narrative retrospective of the Community build

2. 2

   +20m

   Retrospective published

   Timeline, real stats, six bugs, honest gaps, comparison table, published as a Claude Artifact

3. 3

   +35m

   Home dashboard polish

   Arc History panel fixed to a constant height with an invisible-scrollbar internal list, no longer stretching to match its tallest row sibling

4. 4

   +45m

   Settings ↔ Commons cross-links

   Added a Commons link from Settings' Integrations card, and a Back to ForgeKit OS link from Commons Profile

5. 5

   +55m

   Settings scrollbar regression fixed

   Folded the new Commons link into the existing Integrations row instead of its own Section card, removing the extra vertical space that had reintroduced a page scrollbar

6. 6

   +70m

   Mission photo cropping fixed

   aging-in-place.jpg and food-support.jpg were cropping through people's heads under object-cover's default center-center behavior; added per-slug objectPosition overrides for the two affected photos only

7. 7

   +90m

   Comparison corrected and republished

   Zeb asked for the comparison to be against the ENTIRE Alloy build (Orient through Bank, 9 days, 25 sessions), not just the same-day Bank-phase sessions — corrected with real git history and republished to the same artifact URL

What shipped

• Full technical + narrative retrospective of the Alloy Community Contributor Experience build, published as a Claude Artifact

• Cross-navigation links: Settings → Commons, Commons Profile → back to ForgeKit OS

• Fixed object-position cropping on 2 of 6 Mission card photos (aging-in-place, food-support) where object-cover's default center crop cut through people's heads
