The navigation plan shipped on Pagefind. Prerequisite chips were the higher-leverage fix.

Six phases of navigation work shipped on the learning hub in July. Pagefind — site-wide search — closed the programme. Prerequisite chips, one phase earlier, delivered more navigability per line of code by firing at orientation time rather than recovery time.

The highest-leverage navigation fix was a conditional on a frontmatter field

conventions.md ranked the N1 prerequisite chip as the single highest-value navigability fix before any phase of the learning-hub navigation plan shipped. After a scroll-spy TOC, hub track sections, and site-wide Pagefind search, the ranking holds.

Three words and an arrow: the learning spec's highest-value navigability fix

Seven phases of navigation work shipped across the learning hub. The spec rated P5 — a row of prerequisite chips at the chapter head — highest-value for navigability. It was the only phase designed to answer a question the reader didn’t know they had.
