Quick guide for future sessions of Codex and Claude Code on this repo.

Project snapshot

• Personal site built with Jekyll.
• Branch policy: work on main (legacy branches removed).
• Deploy model: push to origin/main (GitHub Pages site repo).

Runtime and tooling

• Use Bundler 2.5.4 (lockfile is pinned to it).
• Local serve command:
  • bundle _2.5.4_ install
  • bundle _2.5.4_ exec jekyll serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000
• Ruby 4 compatibility gems in Gemfile are intentional: logger, csv, base64, bigdecimal.
  • Do not remove unless Ruby/Jekyll stack is intentionally changed.

Active site surface

• Content pages:
  • index.md, research.md, courses.md, cv.md, resources.md, contact.md
• Layouts in use:
  • _layouts/default.html, _layouts/home.html, _layouts/page.html, _layouts/research.html, _layouts/contact.html
• Includes in use:
  • _includes/head.html, _includes/header.html, _includes/footer.html, _includes/contact.html
• Data:
  • _data/settings.yml (menu, social, contacts)

Recent UI/theme contracts (important)

• Header/mobile behavior:
  • Mobile (<768px) header is intentionally centered (name, subtitle, nav, toggle).
  • Navigation wraps on mobile to avoid clipping.
  • Home image is centered when stacked (<md) and right-aligned on desktop (>=md).
  • Main files: _includes/header.html, _layouts/home.html, assets/css/main.css.
• Dark mode is implemented client-side (no plugin):
  • Root attribute contract: html[data-theme="light" | "dark"].
  • Persistence key: localStorage["rgriva-theme"].
  • Toggle button contract: #theme-toggle in _includes/header.html.
  • Script: assets/js/theme-toggle.js (updates theme, aria attrs, icon/label, persistence, and system-change behavior when no explicit user choice exists).
  • Early theme bootstrap to prevent flash lives in _includes/head.html.
• Color system:
  • Theme tokens live in assets/css/main.css under :root and html[data-theme="dark"].
  • Keep dark palette conservative and preserve purple brand accents.
  • Border colors are normalized through .border-top/.border-bottom overrides.

Guardrails

• Keep Google Analytics working:
  • ID is in _config.yml as google_analytics.
  • Script is rendered in _includes/head.html.
• Keep Google site verification file unless explicitly requested:
  • googlec71560e67d5288f9.html
• Preserve current public URLs unless user asks for URL changes.

Repo hygiene

• Ignore/build artifacts are already configured in .gitignore (_site, vendor, .bundle, etc.).
• QR_code.pdf and QR_code.png are intentionally ignored.
• Before deleting files, check references with rg.

Local env gotcha

• On this machine there are multiple Rubies; default /usr/bin/ruby may fail with Bundler 2.5.4.
• If needed, prefix commands with Homebrew Ruby:
  • PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH" bundle _2.5.4_ ...
