July was a consolidation month. Fewer headlines, more foundations.

## Navigation on Base UI

The navigation bar moved from Radix to Base UI. Same behaviour for visitors, a more actively developed primitive underneath.

## Studio v6 and sync-tag invalidation

The Studio was upgraded to v6, and a sync-tag invalidation function now refreshes cached content precisely when it changes. Publish in the Studio, and only the affected pages revalidate.

## Quality

A batch of code quality findings was fixed, duplication and reliability gates were brought back to green, Playwright runs its binary directly, and the README now covers recommended VS Code settings.

Revalidate what changed. Nothing more, nothing less.
