Project Diary - Day 27 - June 4, 2026

First working session after a 51-day recovery period (April 2 – May 22). Craig returned as a cancer survivor. Session opened with a full orientation review, worklist check, and tar uploads of AI, EXPANDED, and CMDS sites — all vnu clean, zero broken links, zero orphans going in.

Day 26 primary work (bat, jc, sed/awk primer) had never been started — carried directly into Day 27 and completed in full.

Completed This Session

LearnLinux — CMDS/

bat-examples-claude.html — bat command reference, 10 examples, installation for RHEL/Debian/GitHub, themes, Git integration, ripgrep pairing, pipeline use, persistent config. vnu clean.
jc-examples-claude.html — jc JSON converter reference, 10 examples, ps/df/ip/last/passwd/group/lsblk/crontab/systemctl parsers, magic syntax mode, capstone health report script with sgpt AI integration tip. Quick reference table: 15 parsers with key field names. vnu clean.
Both pages added to CMDS index with correct cards and links verified.

LearnLinux — EXPANDED/SED-AWK/ (new directory)

sed-awk-primer-claude.html — practical primer for SysAdmins. Two-column sed vs. awk decision guide, sed section (4 examples: substitution, address ranges, delete/insert/append, pipelines), awk section (4 examples: field extraction, pattern matching, computing sums/counts, reformatting output), pipeline patterns section, and when to upgrade to jc+jq or AI assist. Combined quick reference table: 14 tasks. vnu clean after two fixes (rogue quote in code tag, h4 heading skip).
New SED-AWK/ directory created in EXPANDED.
Page added to EXPANDED index with correct card.

CGI Search Script — CGI-LinuxSearch.cgi

Bug identified: ls -1 DIR/* for EXPANDED, CMDS, and AI sections was outputting bare filenames for files in subdirectories — directory header line consumed the path, leaving filenames without path context.
Fix: replaced ls -1 with find ... -name "*.html" on lines 375, 386, and 397. find always outputs full paths regardless of subdirectory depth.
Tested and confirmed: full paths now display correctly for all results including new EXPANDED/SED-AWK/ subdirectory.
SAVE/SAVED directories removed from filesystem — cleaner than grep filter.

Carry Forward — Still Parked

Nav cleanup on five AI security pages — thin nav, review against site conventions
AI-NEW.html entry point for security series — needs fresh eyes on page structure
Top nav anchor links on CLI deep-dive pages
Update collaboration/lessons-learned.html — Days 11–27 unrecorded
Breadcrumb navigation on content pages — site-wide
Site-wide consistent footer
Cron script audit — chmod 000 old scripts, clean email chaff

Notes

The find vs ls fix is a good example of a bug that only surfaces when directory structure grows. The script worked correctly for flat directories — the new SED-AWK subdirectory exposed it. Any future new subdirectories in CMDS, EXPANDED, or AI will now be handled correctly.
