v0.9.80 — /environment/ hero loads first

Excludes the /environment/ hero background from WP Rocket's CSS-background LazyLoad and preloads it per breakpoint (900px WebP on mobile, full-size on desktop). Mobile PSI was 74-79 with LCP 4.4-5.6s, of which ~2.5s was the lazy-load delay.

v0.9.79 — /projects/ FAQ copy

Drops the self-sourcing clause and the stacked disclaimer from the /projects/ hub FAQ answer, per operator feedback.

v0.9.78 — project card hover fixes

The gallery container was cropping the hover shadow to a hard edge; it now overflows visibly on /projects/. The photo's rounded top corners no longer square off while the card moves.

v0.9.77 — clickable project cards with hover state

On /projects/, the whole project card now links to its project page (previously only the image). Hover lifts the card, deepens the shadow, zooms the photo slightly and nudges a new 'View project →' cue. Respects reduced-motion.

Adds bullion-ops-project-tiles and bullion-ops-project-faq-css to the WP Rocket RUCSS inline exclusions.

v0.9.76 — /projects/ FAQ, Develin Creek resource update

Adds In Summary + FAQ (with FAQPage schema) to the /projects/ hub page, via the existing [qmines_project_faq] shortcode.

Updates the Develin Creek summary and FAQ from the superseded 4.13Mt @ 1.37% CuEq to the 23 Feb 2026 estimate: 4.70Mt @ 0.94% Cu and 1.0% Zn, 90% Indicated.

v0.9.75 — Competent Person sub-headings render at the right size

Styles h4 inside the announcement body.

The Competent Person sub-statements are demoted to h4 by the pipeline so they nest under their parent heading, but nothing styled h4, so they fell back to the theme's 24px default and rendered larger than the heading above them. Seven published pages were affected, back to 18 August.

Fixed in CSS rather than by undoing the demotion, so the heading outline stays correct.

v0.9.74 — hero images fixed at source

Hero images are now fixed at source instead of being overridden at render time.

• /environmental/ was downloading the hero twice — a 628 KB JPEG preloaded at high priority that was never painted, plus the 442 KB WebP that was. Only the WebP loads now.
• /research/ hero re-encoded from 354 KB to 156 KB at the same 2560x1440.

The WebP background map is empty but retained for any hero that genuinely cannot be repointed in Elementor.

v0.9.73 — title box follows the widget typography

The two-line title box now follows the widget's own typography settings instead of a hard-coded 18px, so changing the title size in Elementor no longer risks clipping.

Supersedes v0.9.72.

v0.9.72 — card corners, hover overlay, spacing, alignment

Four fixes to the research cards, three of them regressions from v0.9.69:

• Corner radius restored. The 10px radius was still set but the card had stopped clipping the image to it.
• Hover buttons back over the image. They had dropped into a grey band below the thumbnail.
• Tighter spacing between the title and the company/date line.
• Title and company/date now share a left edge.

Supersedes v0.9.70 and v0.9.71.

v0.9.70 — two-line card titles

Card titles are capped at two lines instead of three. Three left the grey caption band too deep on cards with short titles.

Supersedes v0.9.69 — install this one rather than both.
