Automatically builds and deploys the Astro site to GitHub Pages
on push to the main branch. Site will be live at:
https://jimkittridge.github.io/TestGithub/

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
All internal links were hardcoded as root-relative (e.g. /about/) but
GitHub Pages serves from /TestGithub/, causing 404s on every page
except the homepage. Updated astro.config.mjs with correct site/base
and prefixed all links with import.meta.env.BASE_URL.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi

Switches from Netlify OAuth proxy to GitHub PKCE auth flow,
which works on GitHub Pages without a backend server.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Replaces broken PKCE auth (GitHub doesn't support it) with a
Cloudflare Worker that handles the GitHub OAuth flow.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Replace old orange F logo with the new green curved X logo
across header, footer, favicon, and schema metadata.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Green X icon with GETFLEXSPACE wordmark, matching the provided logo.
Removed separate text spans since the SVG includes the text.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
- Separate X icon SVG from text (SVG text doesn't render in img tags)
- Add GETFLEXSPACE as HTML text next to icon in header/footer

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
…arket section

- Gallery now shows main image (object-bottom to show building) with 2 side thumbnails
- Fixed height 280-320px with proper proportions
- Duplicated lead form CTA with featured image above the local market section

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
- Available suites show "Base Rent" with price (e.g. $12.95 / SF NNN)
- Waitlist/unavailable suites show "Pricing: Contact for current rate"
- Added baseRent field to schema, CMS config, and Durham content
- Full-width tile sits between spec grid and CTA buttons

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Replaces the asymmetric layout (big hero image left + 2 small right)
with 3 equal-width images in a row. On mobile, shows only the first
image. "View all photos" button floats at bottom-left.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Ceiling height, power, door, and lease were duplicated: once in
location specs (hero) and again in every suite (cards). Now suites
only have name, size, status, description, and baseRent. The cards
pull shared specs from the location. Added lease to location-level
specs. Removes the need to correct the same values in multiple places.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi
Inline shorthand with required: false may not render in some Decap CMS
versions. Expanded to explicit multi-line YAML format.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01XuSLHhcPRU7hjvZ3cUQWVi

No more retyping — update suite info in the location markdown file
and it flows to both the location page and the homepage automatically.
