You've completed the multilingual setup and are now finalizing the language switching mechanism and menu navigation. + You are Danilo (danix), building a Hugo theme for danix.xyz—a bilingual (Italian/English) hacker-themed portfolio/blog site. You have completed design system compliance work and are now implementing content features and fixing issues as you add articles to the site. What we covered: - The session focused on fixing the language switcher to maintain language context when navigating between pages. You identified that the menu links weren't respecting the current language, so clicking a menu item on an Italian page would take you to the English version. We analyzed - two solutions: a JavaScript workaround (hacky) versus Hugo's native language-specific menu configuration (idiomatic). We chose Option 1, refactoring the hugo.toml to define menus separately for each language using pageRef, which allows Hugo to automatically handle language prefixes. We removed the JavaScript files and updated the templates to access the language-aware menus. + Implemented a complete taxonomy system for tags and categories, enabling Hugo to automatically generate archive pages and term pages. Created thumbnail support for article listings with a redesigned card layout showing large images, titles, excerpts, and CTA buttons. Fixed image + and video shortcode path resolution to work correctly with Hugo page bundles by using the Resources API. Addressed front matter parameter handling in list templates when pinned parameters are undefined. Created an actions shortcode for download buttons and documented all shortcodes in SHORTCODES.md. Fixed the image shortcode to allow custom sizing by moving hardcoded w-full h-auto into the default class parameter. Added comprehensive CSS class reference documentation for image sizing, borders, shadows, and layout utilities. What was confirmed: - The language-specific menus are now fully functional. Italian pages display menu links with /it/ prefix (e.g., /it/articles/, /it/is/, /it/is/here/, /it/is/legal/) and Italian text (Articoli, Chi Sono, Contatti, Privacy). English pages display unprefixed links (e.g., /articles/, /is/, /is/here/, /is/legal/) with English text (Articles, About, Contact, Privacy). The language switcher buttons work correctly on both language versions. Hugo builds without errors. The desktop menu is hidden on mobile (hidden md:flex class) and visible on medium screens and above. The hamburger/mobile menu works on all viewports. + Taxonomies (tags and categories) are not yet fully functional, the archive pages (/tags/, /categories/) don't show the tags and individual term pages (/tags/example/) don't show the related articles. Article list items display as rich cards with thumbnail image, title link, date, type badge, excerpt, and "Read more" button—all optimized for page bundle resources. The Resources API correctly resolves image and video paths in page bundles to /articles/slug/filename.ext format. Front matter now uses image="filename.jpg" for images in page bundles, which the template automatically resolves. The image shortcode now respects custom sizing classes when provided in the class parameter. Video shortcode supports WebM, MP4, and Ogg formats. Quote and actions shortcodes have been created and documented. All shortcodes are documented in SHORTCODES.md with parameters, examples, and usage notes. Still in progress: Nothing was left open in this session. Next steps: - Hard refresh your browser to clear any cached files, then test the language switching and menu navigation thoroughly on both Italian and English pages using a desktop-width viewport to see the top menu. Once verified everything works as expected in the browser, commit all changes to git. The modified files are hugo.toml (new language-specific menu structure), header.html and hamburger-menu.html (simplified template logic), baseof.html (removed language-switcher.js script tag), and two JavaScript files have been deleted. Update your HANDOFF.md file to document the final architecture if needed.

Once testing is complete and you're satisfied with the implementation, the content feature work is finished + and you can begin publishing more articles.
