  {
   "operator": "repair",
   "request": "After last week's release we got feedback: clicking PRIMER in the nav bar does absolutely nothing, the PRIMER button on the left of the hero is the same, and even Why SEDA in the Learn dropdown doesn't move the page at all; but Developers, Validators, Community, and LITEPAPER in the same row all scroll smoothly to their respective spots. Please restore all three PRIMER entries to the same behavior as the other entries — smooth scroll, stopping at the top of that white rounded-card section (Secure / Fast / Permissionless). Also confirm the Learn menu itself isn't affected: one click expands three items, clicking elsewhere on the page collapses it, and repeated open/close works fine. Don't touch anything else. Also, for the record, we'll run all acceptance checks in a 1440×900 desktop window at 100% zoom, so tune sizes against that."
  },
  {
   "operator": "remove section",
   "request": "Two pieces of content come offline. First, remove the whole investor showcase strip at the bottom of the hero — the 'Backed by:' line and the four organization marks below it (Uncorrelated, Distributed Global, coinbase, Reciprocal Ventures) all go; legal won't allow us to display them anymore, so clean up the related graphics and text too. Second, remove the '+$22M / Raised' item from the stats strip as well. After removal the hero mustn't leave a big hole: at a 1440×900 window, tighten the hero overall, from the current 1085px down to within 900px, but don't squash it below 780px either; the stats strip moves up accordingly. The remaining numbers evenly fill the whole row; don't leave the empty slot of the old four-column layout. The relationship among the three-line heading, the two buttons, and the explanatory paragraph on the right stays as it was — don't misalign or clip them."
  },
  {
   "operator": "restructure layout",
   "request": "The five parts of 'Why SEDA' (currently one paragraph paired with one big image, staggered top to bottom over a very long stretch) take up too much room; users scroll forever and never reach the content below. Re-lay this out more compactly: arrange the five parts in two rows, 3 items on the top row and 2 on the bottom, scannable in about one screen. Keep the numbers 1 through 5 and keep them together with their respective copy; not a single word of the five original English texts may change, and all five images must be kept, each used once. At a 1440×900 window, the total height of the whole section must stay within 1400px. The style stays that textured black-background look; don't make it look like a different site."
  },
  {
   "operator": "wire up data",
   "request": "Add a news section to the homepage, positioned before the 'Our expanding network of ecosystems' block. The content team went through the pieces published over the past two years and gave them to you in a fairly scattered way: protocol updates are the most numerous, 12; ecosystem partnerships 9; research reports 8, all long-form; community events 11; plus product releases 8. That adds up to 48, no more and no less. Lay out the titles and dates to that count yourself: dates all fall on or after January 8, 2024 (inclusive), at most one per day without collisions, and no duplicate titles; each piece shows a reading time between 3 and 12 minutes. At the top of the section put a row of category buttons: All, plus the five categories above, each button showing that category's item count. Next to them give two sort options: newest first (default) and reading time longest first. The list shows 9 per page, with previous/next below, and it must be clear which page you're on and how many there are in total (wording and format are up to you); on page 1 the previous button must not be usable; switching categories must not dump the user on an empty page. Each article card also gets a 'Read later' marker control; marked ones must be obvious at a glance, and the section title shows the number of marked pieces; when nothing is marked there must be a friendly message there, not a blank. Clicking the same article repeatedly should toggle it back and forth, not keep adding. The selected category and the marked state must be prominent enough, but keep the overall textured black-background look — don't turn it into a garish second style."
  },
  {
   "operator": "restructure layout",
   "request": "Finally, wire the new section into the rest of the site. Add a Newsroom entry to the left nav group (next to Developers / Validators), styled consistently with the two beside it, and clicking it should smooth-scroll to the news section like the other entries; while you're at it, restore the news section to its initial state — category back to 'All', back to page 1 — but the read-later marks the user has already made must not be cleared; the marked pieces stay marked. Also, in the three cells of the stats strip, replace the 'Networks we support' cell with the size of our content library; the number must match the actual number of articles in the news library — don't hardcode some unrelated figure. The previously removed funding number and investor marks must not sneak back in; the stats strip still has three cells."
