Use `last_modified_at` rather than `last_updated`. So that the
jekyll-sitemap plugin automatically looks for the standard
`last_modified_at` front matter field to generate the `<lastmod>` tag in
your `sitemap.xml`.
It fixes [#2598](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues/2598)
Also, it preserves backward compatibility, as the updated metadata logic
prioritizes the `page.last_modified_at`, and defaults to
`page.last_updated`.
This change introduces a Dockerfile to the devcontainer configuration
that removes the broken Yarn repository from `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.
This prevents `apt-get update` from failing due to an expired or missing
GPG key for the Yarn repository.
Fixes#3487
Fixes#3488
Updates `QUICKSTART.md` to correctly point to `_data/socials.yml` for
email configuration, as the `email` field is not present in
`_config.yml`.
This pull request introduces several documentation improvements and adds
comprehensive Copilot and agent instruction files to the al-folio
repository. The most significant changes are the addition of
repository-wide and path-specific Copilot instructions, updates to agent
documentation to reference these instructions, and improvements to the
documentation structure and clarity regarding file purposes and
workflows.
**Copilot and Agent Instruction Enhancements:**
- Added a new `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file providing detailed,
repository-wide setup, build, CI/CD, troubleshooting, and file format
guidance for Copilot coding agents.
- Introduced `.github/instructions/bibtex-bibliography.instructions.md`
with specific instructions for editing and validating BibTeX files,
including custom keywords, formatting rules, and integration with
Jekyll-Scholar.
- Updated agent documentation files (`customize.agent.md`,
`docs.agent.md`) to reference the new Copilot instruction files and
explain their purpose and usage for both repository-wide and
path-specific scenarios.

**Documentation Structure and Clarity Improvements:**
- Clarified and reorganized the documentation file list in agent files,
removing references to deprecated or merged files (e.g.,
`MAINTENANCE.md`, `ACCESSIBILITY.md`) and updating descriptions to
reflect current usage.

- Enhanced documentation on the purpose and application of each
documentation file, and added detailed explanations of Copilot
instruction files and their role in project development.
**Workflow and Validation Updates:**
- Updated references and descriptions for GitHub Actions workflows in
agent documentation to include the Copilot environment setup and clarify
pre-commit and CI/CD requirements.

- Corrected references for accessibility guidance, now directing users
to `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` instead of the removed `ACCESSIBILITY.md`.
These changes collectively improve the onboarding experience for both
human contributors and AI agents, ensuring consistent adherence to
project conventions and reducing errors.

Partially fixes issue #3256 by updating SASS syntax in main SCSS files.
To fully address the issue, FontAwesome should be updated to `v7.x` and
Tabler to `v3.30` or higher (see Tabler fix
[here](https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons/pull/1256)), where the
SCSS has been fixed.

Fixes#2787 as an alternative to #2969. It was getting too cumbersome to
have 2 different data sources for CV and also a lot of different layout
files, so I decided to unify them all.
Main changes:
- synchronized the information inside RenderCV (`_data/cv.yml`) and
JSONResume (`assets/json/resume.json`)
- unified layout files for CV information
- added the option to set the "data source" in the CV page

💡 **What:** Moved the regex definition `/Cited by (\d+[,\d]*)/` from the
method scope to a class-level constant `CITED_BY_REGEX`.
🎯 **Why:** To improve code cleanliness and avoid potential re-definition
of the regex object in every method call (or loop), adhering to best
practices.
📊 **Measured Improvement:**
* **Baseline:** The regex was defined as a literal inside the `render`
method, which is called for each tag usage.
* **Optimization:** The regex is now defined once as a constant.
* **Note:** Performance benchmarks were not possible in the current
environment due to missing Ruby runtime. However, this is a standard
Ruby optimization that improves maintainability and theoretically avoids
object allocation overhead in older Ruby versions or complex scenarios.
Modern Ruby optimizes literals well, but the constant approach is
cleaner and DRYer.

## Description
This PR makes the URLs for external services used on the repository page
configurable in `_config.yml`. This allows users to self-host these
services for better reliability, privacy, and customization.
## Changes
- Added `external_services` configuration section in `_config.yml` with:
- `github_readme_stats_url` (default:
`https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app`)
- `github_profile_trophy_url` (default:
`https://github-profile-trophy.vercel.app`)
- Updated repository template files to use configurable URLs:
- `_includes/repository/repo_user.liquid`
- `_includes/repository/repo.liquid`
- `_includes/repository/repo_trophies.liquid`
- Added documentation in `CUSTOMIZE.md` explaining:
- Why self-hosting is recommended (default services may have
availability issues)
- How to configure custom service URLs
- Links to the service repositories for deployment instructions
## Resolves
Resolves#3388 - This makes it possible to configure self-hosted
versions of these services, giving users full control over the external
services used for displaying GitHub statistics and trophies.
## Testing
- Verified that default configuration still works with original service
URLs
- Confirmed that URLs are properly interpolated in all template files
- Documentation clearly explains the configuration options
