February 21, 2026 — Paradigm Threat

Retrospective: the two days before the February 22 timeline announcement saw intensive structural work.

• Media refactor — Copy all images to local media/; relink markdown to relative paths; convert to root-relative /media/
• New AI-generated images — Images appended to articles
• Content restructure — Merge events/ + articles/ into flat content/ with decimal numbering (00–11 chapters, 3-digit zero-padded items)
• Media directory rename — Decimal chapter prefix (00-XX-slug); update all content/ references
• Merge — Media 00.overview + 00.project-objective; timeline-synchronization image
• Events.json — media[] arrays; populate-media script

What This Enabled

The flat content structure with consistent numbering, root-relative media paths, and events.json media arrays set up the timeline for the PDF/DOCX export pipeline and the interactive browser that would go live the next day.
