The lone "▍ The Disclosure Bureau" glyph read as a stray vertical bar next
to small mono text — easy to lose against the navbar links. The brand
needed visible weight without inventing a logotype from scratch.
- BrandMark (new) — small inline SVG-free mark: three rounded gold bars
at decreasing heights (100% / 70% / 45%), suggesting a redaction edge
or a stack of classified-page tabs. Each bar lifts 1px on hover, so the
mark gets a subtle physical response without animation libraries.
- Wordmark switched to font-display font-semibold (was display regular)
and bumped to 19/20px so it carries the row.
- On desktop a tiny "CLASSIFIED · PUBLIC RECORD" microline in #5a6678
monospace sits beneath the wordmark; it disappears on mobile to keep
the row tight inside the drawer.
- Used in SiteHeader (every page) and inside the MobileNav drawer
header — replaces the previous bare-text label there too.
Verified at desktop 1440 and mobile 600 widths.

The mobile audit caught the primary nav overflowing past the viewport edge
("Programs" was clipped on the right at 390px), and sub-pages on mobile had
no access to the entity hub at all because BureauNav doesn't carry it.
- New MobileNav (client) — hamburger button that opens a right-side slide-in
panel containing the full primary nav, locale toggle and auth pill. ESC,
backdrop click, link click, and the close button all dismiss; body scroll
locks while open; focus jumps to the close button so screen readers
announce the dialog and keyboard users can dismiss in one keystroke.
- SiteHeader — hide desktop nav <md, show hamburger <md. Brand and trigger
are the only two elements in the row on mobile, so the overflow stops.
- BureauNav — same treatment: keep the breadcrumb pills, hide the desktop
right cluster <md, surface the hamburger <md. Means a case-file reader on
mobile can now jump to /sightings, /witnesses etc without going home
first.
- MobileNav imports LocaleToggleClient directly (not the server-component
LocaleToggle wrapper, which would fail Next.js's "client cannot import
server" rule and break the build).
Verified live at 390×844: drawer opens with all 7 links stacked + toggle +
Sign in; main nav row no longer overflows.

Visual audit found several issues in the navbar / header layer; this pass
addresses the cluster.
- AuthBar: localize sign in/out + dev-disabled message; switch matrix-green
(#00ff9c) to gold (#e0c080) to match the magazine palette.
- NavLink (new): client component reading usePathname to mark the active
section with aria-current="page" and a gold underline+fill, so the user
knows where they are inside the entity hub.
- Locale toggle: bump font to 12px, widen the pill, lift the active state's
contrast. Hard reload on switch (window.location.reload) instead of
router.refresh — that is what makes the <title>, <html lang> and og:locale
actually update on toggle (router.refresh kept stale layout metadata).
- Root layout: convert static `export const metadata` to generateMetadata()
so title/description/OG/twitter all read the cookie per request. Drop the
duplicate floating LocaleToggle at bottom-left; the navbar carries it now.
- BureauNav: drop the cyan-on-home / gold-on-bureau split (palette mismatch
with SiteHeader); single gold tone; localize "home"/"case files" + aria
labels; mount AuthBar inside the bar so sub-pages get a sign-in surface.
- Pages using BureauNav: drop the standalone <AuthBar /> below it (now
duplicated). Affected: /bureau, /c/[slug], /h/[hypothesisId], /jobs/[id].
- Lift nav-link rest text from #9aa6b8 to #cbd2dd for WCAG-AA on near-black.
Verified live: title/lang/og:locale switch with cookie; active link gold
indicator on /sightings; "Entrar"/"Sign in" localizes; no double AuthBar.

User: "quero que o usuário possa escolher o idioma na navbar, e então leia
o site todo em seu idioma."
The locale infrastructure already existed (cookie + getLocale() + every
page renders bilingual). The toggle only lived as a subtle floating
control bottom-left. This surfaces it in the navbars where users expect
it, and confirms whole-site language switching.
locale-toggle-client.tsx
- New variant="navbar": gold-amber pill matching the magazine theme
(PT | EN, active = solid gold). Retro green variant kept for the
floating fallback.
- Guard: clicking the already-active language is a no-op.
- aria-pressed on each button for a11y.
locale-toggle.tsx: LocaleToggle gains variant passthrough.
site-header.tsx: <LocaleToggle variant="navbar"> added to the main nav
(homepage + /sightings /witnesses /objects /locations /operations
/documents).
bureau-nav.tsx: optional `locale` prop renders the same toggle pushed
to the right (ml-auto) on /bureau, /c/[slug], /h/[id], /jobs/[id].
All four callers now pass locale (getLocale added to h + jobs pages).
Cookie-based: switching sets `locale` cookie + router.refresh(); the
server re-renders every component through getLocale(), so the entire
page — headers, hero, summaries, case narratives, entity cards — flips
language in one click. The floating bottom-left toggle stays as a global
fallback for pages without a navbar (/d, /e, /search, /graph).
Also this session: Sun-Tzu smoke succeeded on the refreshed
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN — brief B-0001 written for the green fireballs
("bolas de fogo verdes confinadas ao corredor nuclear... cor espectral
e trajetória quase horizontal que os próprios analistas consideraram
irreconciliáveis com meteoros naturais", 3 pillars). Bulk entity
enrichment resumed in the background.

User explicit: "1 bilhão de entusiastas pelo mundo ovni" — site is for the
UFO-curious public, not for skeptics. The 8-detective scaffolding becomes
invisible plumbing; the reader sees stories about what was observed.
Reader-facing changes:
New homepage (web/app/page.tsx)
- SiteHeader: magazine-style top nav (no detective tiles)
- HeroBanner: full-bleed editorial opener with declassified-page art
background, display-serif headline, live stats row (122 docs,
2047 events, 1861 witnesses, 867 craft catalogued)
- FeaturedCase: cover-story treatment of the most recent case_report,
uses a real document page as hero image, links to /c/[slug]
- PortalGrid: 6 thematic doorways into the archive — Sightings,
Witnesses, Craft, Hot spots, Programs, Documents — each tile shows
a real entity count and short editorial blurb
- GreatestHits: top 9 most-cited events from the corpus
(Kenneth Arnold 1947, Mantell 1948, …) as a magazine grid
- Doc list kept but reframed as "the primary record"
New sub-pages (5)
- /sightings → events (2047), magazine grid
- /witnesses → people (1861), compact table
- /objects → uap_objects (867), magazine grid
- /locations → locations (1757), compact table
- /operations → organizations (1596), compact table
- /documents → full doc list with thumbnails (mirrors homepage section
for direct deep-link)
All share <EntityListPage> shell with per-page i18n + JSON-LD ItemList
Stripped detective surfacing
- /jobs/[id]: "Sherlock Holmes / Dr. Watson" → "Investigation in progress"
- chat-bubble: detective-named card → neutral "Investigação em andamento"
- quick-launch: 7-kind detective dropdown → single "investigar um caso"
input (kind=case_report hardcoded)
- /bureau: rewritten as the case-file library (no artefact dumps)
Typography + design
- Fraunces variable serif loaded for display headings
(`.font-display` class)
- Gold-amber accent (#e0c080) unified as the brand colour
- Asymmetric magazine grids (1+2+3 column, generous whitespace)
- Hover micro-interactions (image scale on featured case, translateX
on portal arrows)
SEO + GEO
- layout.tsx metadataBase + title.template + per-route Metadata exports
- Organization JSON-LD on root layout
- WebSite + SearchAction JSON-LD on homepage
- CollectionPage + ItemList JSON-LD on every entity list page
- openGraph + twitter cards, pt-BR primary + en-US alternate
- ai:purpose meta tag for Generative Engine Optimization — declares
the site as a citation-linked primary-source archive
- robots: index + follow with large image preview
The detectives themselves remain alive in the backend (runtime, DB, audit
log), but the reader never sees "Holmes / Sun-Tzu / Watson" in the UI. The
next phase will reorient case-writer to write as a single best-seller voice
synthesising all the internal sources.
