Merge branch 'dev' into production

Remove unused imports, replace `any` types with proper interfaces in directus.ts
and i18n-loader.ts, exclude scripts/ and coverage/ from ESLint, and fix
unused variable warnings across the codebase.

+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Tech Stack
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript 5.9
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS 3.4 with custom `liquid-*` color tokens
+- **Theming**: next-themes for dark mode (system/light/dark)
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion 12
+- **3D**: Three.js + React Three Fiber (shader gradient background)
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM
+- **Cache**: Redis (optional)
+- **CMS**: Directus (self-hosted, GraphQL, optional)
+- **Automation**: n8n webhooks (status, chat, hardcover, image generation)
+- **i18n**: next-intl (EN + DE)
+- **Monitoring**: Sentry
+- **Deployment**: Docker (standalone mode) + Nginx
+
+### Key Directories
+```
+app/
+  [locale]/          # i18n routes (en, de)
+    page.tsx         # Homepage sections
+    projects/        # Project listing + detail pages
+  api/               # API routes
+    book-reviews/    # Book reviews from Directus
+    hobbies/         # Hobbies from Directus
+    n8n/             # n8n webhook proxies
+    projects/        # Projects (PostgreSQL + Directus)
+    tech-stack/      # Tech stack from Directus
+  components/        # React components
+lib/
+  directus.ts        # Directus GraphQL client (no SDK)
+  auth.ts            # Auth + rate limiting
+  translations-loader.ts  # i18n loaders for server components
+prisma/
+  schema.prisma      # Database schema
+messages/
+  en.json            # English translations
+  de.json            # German translations
+```
+
+### Data Source Fallback Chain
+The architecture prioritizes resilience with this fallback hierarchy:
+1. **Directus CMS** (if `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN` configured)
+2. **PostgreSQL** (for projects, analytics)
+3. **JSON files** (`messages/*.json`)
+4. **Hardcoded defaults**
+5. **Display key itself** (last resort)
+
+**Critical**: The site never crashes if external services (Directus, PostgreSQL, n8n, Redis) are unavailable. All API routes return graceful fallbacks.
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+- GraphQL calls via `lib/directus.ts` (no Directus SDK)
+- Collections: `tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+- Translations use Directus native system (M2O to `languages`)
+- Locale mapping: `en` → `en-US`, `de` → `de-DE`
+- API routes export `runtime='nodejs'`, `dynamic='force-dynamic'` and include a `source` field in JSON responses (`directus|fallback|error`)
+
+### n8n Integration
+- Webhook base URL: `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` env var
+- Auth via `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All endpoints have rate limiting and 10s timeout protection
+- Hardcover reading data cached for 5 minutes
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+### i18n (Internationalization)
+- **Supported locales**: `en` (English), `de` (German)
+- **Primary source**: Static JSON files in `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+- **Optional override**: Directus CMS `messages` collection
+- **Server components**: Use `getHeroTranslations()`, `getNavTranslations()`, etc. from `lib/translations-loader.ts`
+- **Client components**: Use `useTranslations("key.path")` from next-intl
+- **Locale mapping**: Middleware defines `["en", "de"]` which must match `app/[locale]/layout.tsx`
+
+### Component Patterns
+- **Client components**: Mark with `"use client"` for interactive/data-fetching parts
+- **Data loading**: Use `useEffect` for client-side fetching on mount
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion `variants` pattern with `staggerContainer` + `fadeInUp`
+- **Loading states**: Every async component needs a matching Skeleton component
+
+### Design System ("Liquid Editorial Bento")
+- **Core palette**: Cream (`#fdfcf8`), Stone (`#0c0a09`), Emerald (`#10b981`)
+- **Custom colors**: Prefixed with `liquid-*` (sky, mint, lavender, pink, rose, peach, coral, teal, lime)
+- **Card style**: Gradient backgrounds (`bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15`)
+- **Glassmorphism**: Use `backdrop-blur-sm` with `border-2` and `rounded-xl`
+- **Typography**: Headlines uppercase, tracking-tighter, with accent point at end
+- **Layout**: Bento Grid for new features (no floating overlays)
+
+### File Naming
+- **Components**: PascalCase in `app/components/` (e.g., `About.tsx`)
+- **API routes**: kebab-case directories in `app/api/` (e.g., `book-reviews/`)
+- **Lib utilities**: kebab-case in `lib/` (e.g., `email-obfuscate.ts`)
+
+### Code Style
+- **Language**: Code in English, user-facing text via i18n
+- **TypeScript**: No `any` types - use interfaces from `lib/directus.ts` or `app/_ui/`
+- **Error handling**: All API calls must catch errors with fallbacks
+- **Error logging**: Only in development mode (`process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`)
+- **Commit messages**: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- **No emojis**: Unless explicitly requested
+
+### Testing Notes
+- **Jest environment**: JSDOM with mocks for `window.matchMedia` and `IntersectionObserver`
+- **Playwright**: Uses plain Next.js dev server (no Docker) with `NODE_ENV=development` to avoid Edge runtime issues
+- **Transform**: ESM modules (react-markdown, remark-*, etc.) are transformed via `transformIgnorePatterns`
+- **After UI changes**: Run `npm run test` to verify no regressions
+
+### Docker & Deployment
+- **Standalone mode**: `next.config.ts` uses `output: "standalone"` for optimized Docker builds
+- **Branches**: `dev` → staging, `production` → live
+- **CI/CD**: Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/`)
+- **Verify Docker builds**: Always test Docker builds after changes to `next.config.ts` or dependencies
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a CMS-managed section
+1. Define GraphQL query + types in `lib/directus.ts`
+2. Create API route in `app/api/<name>/route.ts` with `runtime='nodejs'` and `dynamic='force-dynamic'`
+3. Create component in `app/components/<Name>.tsx`
+4. Add i18n keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Integrate into parent component
+
+### Adding i18n strings
+1. Add keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+2. Use `useTranslations("key.path")` in client components
+3. Use `getTranslations("key.path")` in server components
+
+### Working with Directus
+- All queries go through `directusRequest()` in `lib/directus.ts`
+- Uses GraphQL endpoint (`/graphql`) with 2s timeout
+- Returns `null` on failure (graceful degradation)
+- Translations filtered by `languages_code.code` matching Directus locale

+
+## Architecture Patterns
+
+### Data Source Hierarchy (Fallback Chain)
+1. Directus CMS (if configured via `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN`)
+2. PostgreSQL (for projects, analytics)
+3. JSON files (`messages/*.json`)
+4. Hardcoded defaults
+5. Display key itself as last resort
+
+All external data sources fail gracefully - the site never crashes if Directus, PostgreSQL, n8n, or Redis are unavailable.
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+- REST/GraphQL calls via `lib/directus.ts` (no Directus SDK)
+- Collections: `tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+- Translations use Directus native translation system (M2O to `languages`)
+- Locale mapping: `en` -> `en-US`, `de` -> `de-DE`
+
+### n8n Integration
+- Webhook base URL: `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` env var
+- Auth via `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All n8n endpoints have rate limiting and timeout protection (10s)
+- Hardcover data cached for 5 minutes
+
+### Component Patterns
+- Client components with `"use client"` for interactive/data-fetching parts
+- `useEffect` for data loading on mount
+- `useTranslations` from next-intl for i18n
+- Framer Motion `variants` pattern with `staggerContainer` + `fadeInUp`
+- Gradient cards with `liquid-*` color tokens and `backdrop-blur-sm`
+
+## Design System
+
+Custom Tailwind colors prefixed with `liquid-`:
+- `liquid-sky`, `liquid-mint`, `liquid-lavender`, `liquid-pink`
+- `liquid-rose`, `liquid-peach`, `liquid-coral`, `liquid-teal`, `liquid-lime`
+
+Cards use gradient backgrounds (`bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15`) with `border-2` and `rounded-xl`.
+
+## Key Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Required for CMS
+DIRECTUS_URL=https://cms.dk0.dev
+DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN=...
+
+# Required for n8n features
+N8N_WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.dk0.dev
+N8N_SECRET_TOKEN=...
+N8N_API_KEY=...
+
+# Database
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...
+
+# Optional
+REDIS_URL=redis://...
+SENTRY_DSN=...
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Language: Code in English, user-facing text via i18n (EN + DE)
+- Commit messages: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- Components: PascalCase files in `app/components/`
+- API routes: kebab-case directories in `app/api/`
+- CMS data always has a static fallback - never rely solely on Directus
+- Error logging: Only in `development` mode (`process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`)
+- No emojis in code unless explicitly requested
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a new CMS-managed section
+1. Define the GraphQL query + types in `lib/directus.ts`
+2. Create an API route in `app/api/<name>/route.ts`
+3. Create a component in `app/components/<Name>.tsx`
+4. Add i18n keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Integrate into the parent component (usually `About.tsx`)
+
+### Adding i18n strings
+1. Add keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+2. Access via `useTranslations("key.path")` in client components
+3. Or `getTranslations("key.path")` in server components
+
+### Working with Directus collections
+- All queries go through `directusRequest()` in `lib/directus.ts`
+- Uses GraphQL endpoint (`/graphql`)
+- 2-second timeout, graceful null fallback
+- Translations filtered by `languages_code.code` matching Directus locale

-# Directus Integration - Migration Guide
-
-## 🎯 Overview
-
-This portfolio now has a **hybrid i18n system**:
-- ✅ **JSON Files** (Primary) → All translations work from `messages/*.json` files
-- ✅ **Directus CMS** (Optional) → Can override translations dynamically without rebuilds
-
-**Important**: Directus is **optional**. The app works perfectly fine without it using JSON fallbacks.
-
-## 📁 New File Structure
-
-### Core Infrastructure
-- `lib/directus.ts` - REST Client for Directus (uses `de-DE`, `en-US` locale codes)
-- `lib/i18n-loader.ts` - Loads texts with Fallback Chain
-- `lib/translations-loader.ts` - Batch loader for all sections (cleaned up to match actual usage)
-- `types/translations.ts` - TypeScript types for all translation objects (fixed to match components)
-
-### Components
-All component wrappers properly load and pass translations to client components.
-
-## 🔄 How It Works
-
-### Without Directus (Default)
-```
-Component → useTranslations("nav") → JSON File (messages/en.json)
-```
-
-### With Directus (Optional)
-```
-Server Component → getNavTranslations(locale)
-                → Try Directus API (de-DE/en-US)
-                → If not found: JSON File (de/en)
-                → Props to Client Component
-```
-
-## 🗄️ Directus Setup (Optional)
-
-Only set this up if you want to edit translations through a CMS without rebuilding the app.
-
-### 1. Environment Variables
-
-Add to `.env.local`:
-```bash
-DIRECTUS_URL=https://cms.example.com
-DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN=your_token_here
-```
-
-**If these are not set**, the system will skip Directus and use JSON files only.
-
-### 2. Collection: `messages`
-
-Create a `messages` collection in Directus with these fields:
-- `key` (String, required) - e.g., "nav.home"
-- `translations` (Translations) - Directus native translations feature
-- Configure languages: `en-US` and `de-DE`
-
-**Note**: Keys use dot notation (`nav.home`) but locales use dashes (`en-US`, `de-DE`).
-
-### 3. Permissions
-
-Grant **Public** role read access to `messages` collection.
-
-## 📝 Translation Keys
-
-See `docs/LOCALE_SYSTEM.md` for the complete list of translation keys and their structure.
-
-All keys are organized hierarchically:
-- `nav.*` - Navigation items
-- `home.hero.*` - Hero section
-- `home.about.*` - About section
-- `home.projects.*` - Projects section
-- `home.contact.*` - Contact form and info
-- `footer.*` - Footer content
-- `consent.*` - Privacy consent banner
-
-## 🎨 Rich Text Content
-
-For longer content that needs formatting (bold, italic, lists), use the `content_pages` collection:
-
-### Collection: `content_pages` (Optional)
-
-Fields:
-- `slug` (String, unique) - e.g., "home-hero"
-- `locale` (String) - `en` or `de`
-- `title` (String)
-- `content` (Rich Text or Long Text)
-
-Examples:
-- `home-hero` - Hero section description
-- `home-about` - About section content
-- `home-contact` - Contact intro text
-
-Components fetch these via `/api/content/page` and render using `RichTextClient`.
-
-## 🔍 Fallback Chain
-
-For every translation key, the system searches in this order:
-
-1. **Directus** (if configured) in requested locale (e.g., `de-DE`)
-2. **Directus** in English fallback (e.g., `en-US`)
-3. **JSON file** in requested locale (e.g., `messages/de.json`)
-4. **JSON file** in English (e.g., `messages/en.json`)
-5. **Key itself** as last resort (e.g., returns `"nav.home"`)
-
-## ✅ What Was Fixed
-
-Previous issues that have been resolved:
-
-1. ✅ **Type mismatches** - All translation types now match actual component usage
-2. ✅ **Unused fields** - Removed translation keys that were never used (like `hero.greeting`, `hero.name`)
-3. ✅ **Wrong structure** - Fixed `AboutTranslations` structure (removed fake `interests` nesting)
-4. ✅ **Missing keys** - Aligned loaders with JSON files and actual component requirements
-5. ✅ **Confusing comments** - Removed misleading comments in `translations-loader.ts`
-
-## 🎯 Best Practices
-
-1. **Always maintain JSON files** - Even if using Directus, keep JSON files as fallback
-2. **Use types** - TypeScript types ensure correct usage
-3. **Test without Directus** - App should work perfectly without CMS configured
-4. **Rich text for formatting** - Use `content_pages` for content that needs bold/italic/lists
-5. **JSON for UI labels** - Use JSON/messages for short UI strings like buttons and labels
-
-## 🐛 Troubleshooting
-
-### Directus not configured
-**This is normal!** The app works fine. All translations come from JSON files.
-
-### Want to use Directus?
-1. Set up `DIRECTUS_URL` and `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN`
-2. Create `messages` collection
-3. Add your translations
-4. They will override JSON values
-
-### Translation not showing?
-Check in this order:
-1. Does key exist in `messages/en.json`?
-2. Is the key spelled correctly?
-3. Is component using correct namespace?

+# Gemini CLI: Project Context & Engineering Mandates
+
+## Project Identity
+- **Name:** Dennis Konkol Portfolio (dk0.dev)
+- **Aesthetic:** "Liquid Editorial Bento" (Premium, minimalistisch, hoch-typografisch).
+- **Core Palette:** Creme (`#fdfcf8`), Stone (`#0c0a09`), Emerald (`#10b981`), Sky, Purple.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Framework:** Next.js 15 (App Router), Tailwind CSS 3.4.
+- **CMS:** Directus (primär für Texte, Hobbies, Tech-Stack, Projekte).
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL (Prisma) als lokaler Cache/Mirror für Projekte.
+- **Animations:** Framer Motion (bevorzugt für alle Übergänge).
+- **i18n:** `next-intl` (Locales: `en`, `de`).
+
+## Engineering Guidelines (Mandates)
+
+### 1. UI Components
+- **Bento Grid:** Neue Features sollten immer in das bestehende Grid integriert werden. Keine schwebenden Overlays.
+- **Skeletons:** Jede asynchrone Komponente benötigt einen passenden `Skeleton` Ladezustand.
+- **Typography:** Headlines immer uppercase, tracking-tighter, mit Akzent-Punkt am Ende.
+
+### 2. Implementation Rules
+- **TypeScript:** Keine `any`. Nutze bestehende Interfaces in `lib/directus.ts` oder `app/_ui/`.
+- **Resilience:** Alle API-Calls müssen Fehler abfangen und sinnvolle Fallbacks (oder Skeletons) anzeigen.
+- **Next.js Standalone:** Das Projekt nutzt den `standalone` Build-Mode. Docker-Builds müssen immer verifiziert werden.
+
+### 3. Agent Instructions
+- **Codebase Investigator:** Nutze dieses Tool für Architektur-Fragen.
+- **Testing:** Führe `npm run test` nach UI-Änderungen aus. Achte auf JSDOM-Einschränkungen (Mocking von `window.matchMedia` und `IntersectionObserver`).
+- **CMS First:** Texte sollten nach Möglichkeit aus der `messages` Collection in Directus kommen, nicht hartcodiert werden.
+
+## Current State
+- **Branch:** `dev` (pushed)
+- **Status:** Design Overhaul abgeschlossen, Build stabil, Docker verifiziert.

-## 📋 Step-by-Step Push Process
-
-### Step 1: Ensure You're on Dev Branch
-```bash
-git checkout dev
-git pull origin dev  # Get latest changes
-```
-
-### Step 2: Final Verification
-```bash
-# Clean build
-rm -rf .next node_modules/.cache
-npm install
-npm run build
-
-# Should complete without errors
-```
-
-### Step 3: Review Your Changes
-```bash
-# See what you're about to push
-git log origin/main..dev --oneline
-git diff origin/main..dev
-
-# Review carefully:
-# - No accidental secrets
-# - No debug code
-# - No temporary files
-# - All changes are intentional
-```
-
-### Step 4: Create a Backup Branch (Safety Net)
-```bash
-# Create backup before merging
-git checkout -b backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
-git push origin backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
-git checkout dev
-```
-
-### Step 5: Merge Dev into Main (Local)
-```bash
-# Switch to main
-git checkout main
-git pull origin main  # Get latest main
-
-# Merge dev into main
-git merge dev --no-ff -m "Merge dev into main: [describe changes]"
-
-# If conflicts occur:
-# 1. Resolve conflicts carefully
-# 2. Test after resolving
-# 3. Don't force push if unsure
-```
-
-### Step 6: Test the Merged Code
-```bash
-# Build and test the merged code
-npm run build
-npm run dev
-
-# Test critical paths again
-# - Home page
-# - Projects
-# - Admin
-# - APIs
-```
-
-### Step 7: Push to Main (If Everything Looks Good)
-```bash
-# Push to remote main
-git push origin main
-
-# If you need to force push (DANGEROUS - only if necessary):
-# git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-
-### Step 8: Monitor Deployment
-```bash
-# Watch your deployment logs
-# Check for errors
-# Verify health endpoints
-# Test production site
-```
-
----
-
-## 🛡️ Safety Strategies
-
-### Strategy 1: Feature Flags
-If you're adding new features, use feature flags:
-```typescript
-// In your code
-if (process.env.ENABLE_NEW_FEATURE === 'true') {
-  // New feature code
-}
-```
-
-### Strategy 2: Gradual Rollout
-- Deploy to staging first
-- Test thoroughly
-- Then deploy to production
-- Monitor closely
-
-### Strategy 3: Database Migrations
-```bash
-# Always test migrations first
-# 1. Backup production database
-# 2. Test migration on copy
-# 3. Create rollback script
-# 4. Run migration during low-traffic period
-```
-
-### Strategy 4: Rollback Plan
-Always have a rollback plan:
-```bash
-# If something breaks:
-git revert HEAD
-git push origin main
-
-# Or rollback to previous commit:
-git reset --hard <previous-commit-hash>
-git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-

-
----
-
-## 🔄 Alternative: Pull Request Workflow
-
-If you want extra safety, use PR workflow:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Push dev branch
-git push origin dev
-
-# 2. Create Pull Request on Git platform
-# - Review changes
-# - Get approval
-# - Run CI/CD checks
-
-# 3. Merge PR to main (platform handles it)
-```
-
----
-
-## 🆘 Emergency Rollback
-
-If production breaks after push:
-
-### Quick Rollback
-```bash
-# 1. Revert the merge commit
-git revert -m 1 <merge-commit-hash>
-git push origin main
-
-# 2. Or reset to previous state
-git reset --hard <previous-commit>
-git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-
-### Database Rollback
-```bash
-# If you ran migrations, roll them back:
-npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <migration-name>
-
-# Or restore from backup
-```
-

-# 🔒 Security Improvements
-
-## Implemented Security Features
-
-### 1. n8n API Endpoint Protection
-
-All n8n endpoints are now protected with:
-- **Authentication**: Admin authentication required for sensitive endpoints (`/api/n8n/generate-image`)
-- **Rate Limiting**: 
-  - `/api/n8n/generate-image`: 10 requests/minute
-  - `/api/n8n/chat`: 20 requests/minute
-  - `/api/n8n/status`: 30 requests/minute
-
-### 2. Email Obfuscation
-
-Email addresses can now be obfuscated to prevent automated scraping:
-
-```typescript
-import { createObfuscatedMailto } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/components/ObfuscatedEmail';
-
-// React component
-<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact Me</ObfuscatedEmail>
-
-// HTML string
-const mailtoLink = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
-```
-
-**How it works:**
-- Emails are base64 encoded in the HTML
-- JavaScript decodes them on click
-- Prevents simple regex-based email scrapers
-- Still functional for real users
-
-### 3. URL Obfuscation
-
-Sensitive URLs can be obfuscated:
-
-```typescript
-import { createObfuscatedLink } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-
-const link = createObfuscatedLink('https://sensitive-url.com', 'Click Here');
-```
-
-### 4. Rate Limiting
-
-All API endpoints have rate limiting:
-- Prevents brute force attacks
-- Protects against DDoS
-- Configurable per endpoint
-
-## Code Obfuscation
-
-**Note**: Full code obfuscation for Next.js is **not recommended** because:
-
-1. **Next.js already minifies code** in production builds
-2. **Obfuscation breaks source maps** (harder to debug)
-3. **Performance impact** (slower execution)
-4. **Not effective** - determined attackers can still reverse engineer
-5. **Maintenance burden** - harder to debug issues
-
-**Better alternatives:**
-- ✅ Minification (already enabled in Next.js)
-- ✅ Environment variables for secrets
-- ✅ Server-side rendering (code not exposed)
-- ✅ API authentication
-- ✅ Rate limiting
-- ✅ Security headers
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### For Email Protection:
-1. Use obfuscated emails in public HTML
-2. Use contact forms instead of direct mailto links
-3. Monitor for spam patterns
-
-### For API Protection:
-1. Always require authentication for sensitive endpoints
-2. Use rate limiting
-3. Log suspicious activity
-4. Use HTTPS only
-5. Validate all inputs
-
-### For Webhook Protection:
-1. Use secret tokens (`N8N_SECRET_TOKEN`)
-2. Verify webhook signatures
-3. Rate limit webhook endpoints
-4. Monitor webhook usage
-
-## Implementation Status
-
-- ✅ n8n endpoints protected with auth + rate limiting
-- ✅ Email obfuscation utility created
-- ✅ URL obfuscation utility created
-- ✅ Rate limiting on all n8n endpoints
-- ⚠️ Email obfuscation not yet applied to pages (manual step)
-- ⚠️ Code obfuscation not implemented (not recommended)
-
-## Next Steps
-
-To apply email obfuscation to your pages:
-
-1. Import the utility:
-```typescript
-import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-```
-
-2. Replace email links:
-```tsx
-// Before
-<a href="mailto:contact@dk0.dev">Contact</a>
-
-// After
-<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact</ObfuscatedEmail>
-```
-
-3. For static HTML, use the string function:
-```typescript
-const html = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
-```

+# Design Overhaul Log: Editorial Bento Transformation (Feb 2026)
+
+## Zielsetzung
+Transformation des Portfolios von einem Standard-Layout in ein hochkarätiges "Editorial Bento Grid" Design. Fokus auf Typografie, Dynamik (Directus CMS) und Premium UX ("Liquid" Aesthetic).
+
+## Meilensteine & Kernänderungen
+
+### 1. UI/UX Architektur
+- **Editorial Bento Grid:** Umstellung der gesamten Seite auf ein modulares Grid-System.
+- **Liquid Aesthetic:** Nutzung von Glassmorphismus, extremen Abrundungen (`rounded-[3rem]`) und weichen Verläufen (`liquid-mint`, `liquid-purple`).
+- **Typography-First:** Einsatz von riesigen, uppercase Headlines mit markanten Endpunkten (z.B. `Archive.`) für einen Magazin-Look.
+
+### 2. Dynamische Features
+- **ActivityFeed 2.0:** 
+    - Integration von Echtzeit-Status (Spotify, Coding, Gaming) direkt in die Grid-Zellen.
+    - **Quote Carousel:** Automatischer Wechsel zwischen nerdigen Zitaten (Dijkstra, Einstein etc.) alle 10s im Idle-Mode.
+    - Fallback-Logik für CMS-gesteuerte Quotes (`about.quote.idle`).
+- **Skeleton Loading:** Implementierung von Shimmer-Skeletons für alle dynamischen Daten (Hero, Bento, Library, Projects), um Layout-Shift zu verhindern.
+
+### 3. Navigation & Struktur
+- **Minimalist Dock:** Die Navbar wurde zu einer schwebenden, asymmetrischen "Pill" transformiert.
+- **Intelligent Back Button:** Die Projektdetailseiten erkennen nun den Ursprung des Nutzers (Home vs. Archiv) und führen kontextsensitiv zurück.
+- **Unified Sub-Pages:** Übertragung des Bento-Stils auf `/books`, `/projects`, `/legal-notice` und `/privacy-policy`.
+
+### 4. Technische Stabilität
+- **TypeScript Hardening:** Alle `any`-Typen in den neuen Komponenten wurden durch strikte Interfaces (`ProjectDetailData`, `ProjectListItem`) ersetzt.
+- **Docker Ready:** Korrektur von Build-Errors (Klammerfehler, fehlende Imports), sodass das Image erfolgreich baut.
+- **Test Suite:** Update der Jest-Tests auf das neue Design und Polyfilling von `Request`/`Response` für API-Tests.
+
+## Design Mandate für die Zukunft
+- Kontrastreiches Grün (`emerald-500`) für helle Hintergründe verwenden.
+- Animationen immer mit Framer Motion (Staggered Effects, Floating).
+- Keine Overlays; alle Widgets müssen Teil des Grids sein.

+# Automatisierung: Gelesene Bücher (Hardcover → Directus)
+
+Diese Anleitung erklärt, wie du n8n einrichtest, damit Bücher, die du auf Hardcover als "Read" markierst, automatisch in deinem Directus CMS landen.
+
+## Ziel
+- **Quelle:** Hardcover (Status: Read)
+- **Ziel:** Directus (Collection: `book_reviews`)
+- **Verhalten:**
+  - Buch wird automatisch angelegt.
+  - Status wird auf `draft` gesetzt (damit du optional eine Bewertung/Review schreiben kannst).
+  - Wenn du keine Review schreiben willst, kannst du den Status im n8n Workflow direkt auf `published` setzen.
+
+## Voraussetzungen
+1. **n8n Instanz** (self-hosted oder Cloud).
+2. **Directus URL & Token** (Admin oder Token mit Schreibrechten auf `book_reviews`).
+3. **Hardcover Account** (GraphQL API Zugriff).
+
+## Schritt-für-Schritt Einrichtung
+
+### 1. Directus Collection `book_reviews` vorbereiten
+Stelle sicher, dass deine Collection in Directus folgende Felder hat (nullable = optional):
+- `status` (String: `draft`, `published`, `archived`)
+- `book_title` (String, required)
+- `book_author` (String, required)
+- `book_image` (String, URL)
+- `rating` (Integer, nullable, 1-5)
+- `hardcover_id` (String, unique, um Duplikate zu vermeiden)
+- `finished_at` (Date, wann du es gelesen hast)
+- `review` (Text/Markdown, nullable - DEINE Meinung)
+
+### 2. n8n Workflow erstellen
+Erstelle einen neuen Workflow in n8n.
+
+#### Node 1: Trigger (Zeitgesteuert)
+- **Typ:** `Schedule Trigger`
+- **Intervall:** Alle 60 Minuten (oder wie oft du willst).
+
+#### Node 2: Hardcover API Abfrage
+- **Typ:** `GraphQL` (oder `HTTP Request` POST an `https://api.hardcover.app/graphql`)
+- **Query:**
+  ```graphql
+  query {
+    me {
+      books_read(limit: 5, order_by: {finished_at: desc}) {
+        finished_at
+        book {
+          id
+          title
+          contributions {
+            author {
+              name
+            }
+          }
+          images {
+            url
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ```
+- **Auth:** Bearer Token (Dein Hardcover API Key).
+
+#### Node 3: Auf neue Bücher prüfen
+- **Typ:** `Function` / `Code`
+- **Logik:** Vergleiche die `id` von Hardcover mit den `hardcover_id`s, die schon in Directus sind (du musst vorher eine Directus Abfrage machen, um existierende IDs zu holen).
+- **Ziel:** Filtere Bücher heraus, die schon importiert wurden.
+
+#### Node 4: Buch in Directus anlegen
+- **Typ:** `Directus` (oder `HTTP Request` POST an dein Directus)
+- **Resource:** `Items` -> `book_reviews` -> `Create`
+- **Mapping:**
+  - `book_title`: `{{ $json.book.title }}`
+  - `book_author`: `{{ $json.book.contributions[0].author.name }}`
+  - `book_image`: `{{ $json.book.images[0].url }}`
+  - `hardcover_id`: `{{ $json.book.id }}`
+  - `finished_at`: `{{ $json.finished_at }}`
+  - `status`: `draft` (oder `published` wenn du es sofort live haben willst)
+  - `rating`: `null` (das füllst du dann manuell in Directus aus!)
+  - `review`: `null` (das schreibst du dann manuell in Directus!)
+
+### 3. Workflow aktivieren
+- Teste den Workflow einmal manuell.
+- Aktiviere ihn ("Active" Switch oben rechts).
+
+## Workflow: Bewertung schreiben (Optional)
+1. Das Buch erscheint automatisch in Directus als `draft`.
+2. Du bekommst (optional) eine Benachrichtigung (via n8n -> Email/Discord/Telegram).
+3. Du loggst dich in Directus ein.
+4. Du öffnest das Buch.
+5. **Möchtest du bewerten?**
+   - Ja: Gib `rating` (1-5) und `review` Text ein. Setze Status auf `published`.
+   - Nein, nur auflisten: Lass `rating` leer. Setze Status auf `published`.
+
+## Frontend Logik (Code Anpassung)
+Der Code im Frontend (`ReadBooks.tsx`) ist bereits so gebaut, dass er:
+- Bücher anzeigt, die `status: published` haben.
+- Wenn `rating` vorhanden ist, werden Sterne angezeigt.
+- Wenn `review` vorhanden ist, wird der Text angezeigt.
+- Wenn beides fehlt, wird das Buch einfach nur als "Gelesen" aufgelistet (Cover + Titel + Autor).
