v0.9.41-betaMay 3, 2026The Atrium
The front door of TEO has been rebuilt. /observatory is no longer a flat dashboard — it opens into a layered foyer that braids time of day, the editorial week, and your personal arrival. A threshold ribbon greets you with the current phase, the centerpiece becomes a live Constellation Altar during Observatory Hours (and the Telescope otherwise), and a Hall of Doors leads to every other room of the site. Underneath, an AI Reception Note welcomes you in TEO voice, the Hall Ledger speaks the week aloud, and Recents tiles surface the latest nodes, lectures, and lectios.
- New/observatory rebuilt as The Atrium — an illuminated bento foyer with a threshold band, a centerpiece, a Hall of Doors, a Ledger, a Reception Note, and Recents tiles.
- NewTime-aware threshold ribbon — the page shifts its glyph, greeting, and tone with the phase of the day.
- NewLive Constellation Altar — during Observatory Hours, the centerpiece becomes that weekend's constellation; outside Hours it falls back to the Telescope.
- NewReception Note — a personal arrival paragraph written in TEO voice by your concierge, cached per visitor per day.
- NewHall Ledger — a voiced weekly paragraph with a drop-cap and a gentle fade-in, narrating the observatory's current week.
- ImprovedRecent Nodes, Recent Videos, and Recent Lectios tiles surface the latest observatory activity at a glance.
- ImprovedOrnament pass across the atrium — sepia dot dividers, observer avatars, refined TagBadges, and stronger contrast in daylight.
- FixedRecents now respect publish status, the Reception Note no longer flickers on first paint, and channel names render again on video tiles.
