Footer now pulls the current year dynamically so legal copy stays accurate without manual edits.
Navigation keeps the changelog entry in the primary menu so release notes stay easy to find.
Outlined the upcoming maintenance window upgrade plan so the team has a clear checklist to follow.

Updated 8 existing lessons with vendor-agnostic playbooks: IDE coding agents, agent memory governance, context engineering (prompt lab), interactive agent environments, enterprise infrastructure, evaluation techniques, small-model agents (RFT decisions), and medical diagnostics adoption.
Added three new lessons: Securing Agent-Initiated Payments with Mandates (advanced), Building Computational Taste Engines (advanced), and AI Control Systems for Scientific Instruments (intermediate).
Regenerated content index and tier summaries; catalog now at 166 lessons with refreshed read times and objectives.
Captured source articles for the newsletter workflow so the agent team can reuse the analysis.
Verified the refreshed advanced lessons locally; broader smoke testing remains on the near-term checklist.

Updated 4 lessons: Advanced Training Environments for Interactive AI Agents (enhanced RL simulations, procedural gen, video bridging), Scaling Data for Embodied AI (fleet/video scaling, sim-to-real), Designing Omniscient AI Companions for Everyday Guidance (wearable integration, ethics; moved to Intermediate), Building Registries for Seamless AI Tool Integration (one-click deployment, IDE-agnostic; generalized protocols)
Added 2 new Intermediate lessons: Integrating Secure Payment Features into AI Interfaces (native checkout, privacy), Advancing Autonomous Coding Agents in IDEs (multi-step automation, pricing)
Added YAML tags to all updated/new lessons for topic sorting (e.g., [rl, agents], [data, embodied-ai])
Synced via generate-content: updated JSONs, index, summaries, sitemap (total: 166 lessons; verified new slugs like /intermediate/integrating-secure-payment-features-into-ai-interfaces)
Lint and type-check passed; no errors post-updates
Vendor-agnostic enhancements; medium dup risks mitigated via updates (no new duplicates)
