+# Website maintenance
+
+The new site uses Astro static output. Original Jekyll source remains for reference
+and is not included in the generated website.
+
+## Current scope: academic homepage
+
+The homepage uses a compact biography followed by a linked research map. Its six
+selected publications are grouped into coding-agent evaluation, test oracles,
+AI-system testing, and AIOps. Edit `src/data/research.ts` to update map membership
+and publication groups together. The map describes thematic connections, not a
+timeline or technical dependency graph. Its layout becomes a vertical list on
+small screens; all links work without client-side JavaScript.
+
+The homepage and navigation prioritize academic identity, research, publications,
+service, and biography. Writing and education routes are retained for later work,
+but are not promoted in the academic navigation or homepage. Normal local preview
+should use `npm run dev` (without drafts).
+
+Research summaries and resource links live in `src/data/site.ts`; full citation
+metadata lives in `_bibliography/papers.bib`. Keep quantitative claims scoped to
+the cited paper's evaluation. Service records in `src/data/services.json` preserve
+all 20 original entries across 2021-2025, with an integration test against the
+original source. Add new service records to both the migration baseline and the
+dataset, or explicitly update the migration test when maintaining newer years.
+
+## Run and verify
+
+Use Node 24 LTS (minimum 22.12) and npm.
+
+```sh
+npm ci
+npm run dev
+npm run dev:drafts
+npm run verify
+npm run preview
+```
+
+Use either development command, not both on the same port. Normal development
+hides drafts; `dev:drafts` shows them with a visible editorial banner and noindex.
+Production builds always exclude drafts, including when CONTENT_PREVIEW is set.
+Astro 7 runs the dev server in the background. Use `npx astro dev stop` before
+switching preview modes; `npx astro dev logs` displays its logs.
+
+`verify` runs type checks, the static build, link and migration checks, draft
+isolation checks, and a publishing integration test in a temporary directory.
+The integration test renders both Markdown and MDX without changing local articles.
+
+## Write an article
+
+Create a stable filename under `src/content/writing/`. Its name becomes the URL.
+Use Markdown by default and MDX when an article needs a component.
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: 'A precise article title'
+description: 'What the reader will learn.'
+publishedAt: 2026-09-08
+language: en
+topics: [AI evaluation]
+audience: developers and research readers
+draft: true
+featured: false
+series: Evaluating AI in practice
+order: 3
+---
+```
+
+`series` and `order` are optional, but must be supplied together. Use distinct
+order values within a series. `updatedAt` describes a substantive revision.
+Review facts, references, examples, and resource links. Then set `draft: false`,
+select the publication date, and run `npm run verify`.
+Home shows up to two featured articles; Writing contains all released articles.
+RSS and sitemap use the same publication-date and draft restrictions.
+
+Future-dated posts require a new build on or after their publication date. This
+repository does not schedule future publishing automatically. Articles linked
+from a released article must also be published; broken links fail verification.
+
+The two initial English explainers are editorial drafts prepared during the
+redesign, not existing published work. Review them before release.
+
+## Update research and background
+
+- `_bibliography/papers.bib`: publication records, resource URLs, citation keys.
+- `src/data/site.ts`: profile metadata and three research highlights.
+- `src/data/services.json`: migrated academic service records.
+- `_news/*.md` and `_talks/*.md`: retained announcement and talk sources.
+- `src/pages/about.astro` and `src/pages/teaching.astro`: background and assistantships.
+- `src/pages/education.astro`: learning resource and series placement.
+
+Bibliography keys remain publication anchors. The unused legacy APS string
+declaration was removed; the lightweight parser expects explicit field values
+rather than BibTeX string macros. Existing PDF paths remain unchanged.
+`prepare:assets` copies PDFs, portrait and legacy icon, exports clean BibTeX,
+and generates a PNG social card from `public/social-card.svg`.
+
+## Release and rollback
+
+Review the site and editorial drafts separately. Production builds exclude drafts.
+
+The workflow validates pull requests and uploads an artifact without publishing
+them. Pushes or manual runs on master/main deploy verified `dist/` output using
+GitHub's official upload-pages-artifact and deploy-pages actions. Repository Pages
+settings must use GitHub Actions as the build source; the github-pages environment
+allows the master branch to deploy.
+
+The previous deployed gh-pages commit is
+`5ad5ce2f6b855d3b6ececc9be7090c22e14c2fe6`; the branch is retained for rollback.
+For rollback, prepare a revert PR for the migration, including its workflow, or
+redeploy the retained known-good static artifact through the normal deployment
+process. Avoid force-pushing or resetting shared history. The source baseline for
+this redesign is 5b12a018464201cee4c0b2bf148779c425289b0d. To restore the legacy
+site immediately, switch Pages back to branch publishing from gh-pages at its
+retained commit. Reverting source code alone does not change the Pages build source.
+
+See `_planning/migration-report.md` for retained routes and editorial follow-ups.
