+**Date:** 2026-04-16 | **Status:** ✅ MERGED TO MASTER | **Total Commits:** 12
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Objectives Achieved
+
+### ✅ Article Card Component
+- **Component:** `.card` with semantic structure (image, title, excerpt, badge, button)
+- **Features:**
+ - Responsive image handling with proper aspect ratios
+ - Lazy loading support via `loading="lazy"`
+ - Hover effects: lift animation, glow effect, shadow expansion
+ - Dark/light mode support with CSS variables
+ - WCAG AA accessible (proper semantic HTML, alt text)
+ - Tested at all breakpoints (320px, 768px, 1060px+)
+
+### ✅ Navigation Header
+- **Component:** Header with logo, language switcher, theme toggle
+- **Features:**
+ - Logo respects current language context (IT → `/it/`, EN → `//`)
+ - Language switcher dropdown with smooth transitions
+ - Theme toggle (dark ↔ light) with instant visual feedback
+ - Responsive design (hamburger on mobile, full nav on desktop)
+ - Keyboard accessible (Tab, Enter, Escape)
+ - Alpine.js powered for interactivity
+
+### ✅ Hamburger Menu (Mobile)
+- **Component:** Full-screen overlay menu with slide-in animation
+- **Features:**
+ - Alpine.js event dispatcher for menu state management
+ - Prevents menu flicker on navigation
+ - X-cloak directive prevents visual flashing on page load
+ - Mobile-first design (visible only < 768px)
+ - Smooth animations (GPU-accelerated)
+ - Keyboard accessible (Escape to close)
+
+### ✅ Breadcrumb Navigation
+- **Component:** Hierarchical navigation showing content path
+- **Features:**
+ - Multilingual support (IT uses `/it/` subdir, EN uses `/`)
+ - Semantic HTML5 `<nav>` and `<ol>` elements
+ - Language-aware links maintain context when clicked
+ - Proper styling and hover states
+ - Renders correctly on all article pages
+ - Fixed Hugo layout lookup issue (was using `_default/single.html`, now properly targets `articles/single.html`)
+
+### ✅ Responsive Design Verified
+- ✅ Mobile (320px): Hamburger menu active, single-column layout
+- ✅ Tablet (768px): Transition zone, navigation adjusts
+- ✅ Desktop (1060px+): Full header nav visible, hamburger hidden
+- ✅ All interactions tested on multiple screen sizes
+
+### ✅ Dark/Light Mode Support
+- ✅ All navigation elements styled for both themes
+- ✅ Contrast verified (WCAG AA baseline maintained)
+- ✅ Instant theme switch with no layout shift
+- ✅ Proper color variables used (no hard-coded colors)

+
+## 📝 Key Bug Fixes
+
+### Breadcrumb Rendering Issue (RESOLVED)
+**Problem:** Breadcrumb partial existed but produced zero HTML output.
+**Root Cause:** Hugo layout lookup was using `layouts/_default/single.html` instead of `layouts/articles/single.html`.
+**Solution:** Added breadcrumb partial call to the actual layout file being used.
+
+### Logo Link Regression (RESOLVED)
+**Problem:** Header logo link was hardcoded to `/`, breaking Italian navigation.
+**Root Cause:** Language context not respected in header template.
+**Solution:** Updated logo link to use `.Params.Lang` → `/it/` for Italian, `/` for English.
