Session log — Overview page session-logs cleanup

26 May 2026, evening · Docs site · Hasmukh with Claude · auto-published from the local journal entry. A polished narrative version can be requested in any future Claude session.

Summary

Hasmukh reported that the Session logs section on documentation.mobilearn.africa/overview/ looked broken. Investigation showed three distinct rendering glitches in the most recent entries that the page had picked up over the last few days of publishing. All three were repaired against the docs_pm database in two passes, and the live page was reconfirmed clean.

Decisions

1. Fix the rendering glitches in place on the docs_pm.pm_content row for /overview/ rather than rewriting the publishing pipeline. The cause was already-published text, not a recurring template bug, so a one-off content repair was the right scope.
2. Flatten the small inline bullet lists ("hyphen-space" segments) into flowing prose rather than turning them into nested ul/li markup. Matches the prose style used by every older entry on the page.
3. Convert markdown-style backticks to proper code tags. PageMotor does not process markdown in stored content, so backticks were rendering as literal characters.

Changes made

• Edited the stored content for the /overview/ page on the documentation site (docs_pm database, pm_content row id 27) twice:
• First pass: turned three backtick-wrapped snippets into code tags (display:none, #about, /fcp-part-1-refresher-2026), removed six lone hyphens that were appearing after the em-dash at the start of recent entries (26 May connector-line entry, 25 May broadcast-captions entry, 23 May lesson-completion gate, both 23 May date-time checks, and the 22 May progress-report entry), and added a line break between the opening unordered list and the first list item so the new entry no longer sat flush against the list opener.
• Second pass: caught two more backtick pairs that were missed in the first sweep (gh auth login, hasmukhgajjar).
• Saved a snapshot of the page content before each pass to /tmp on the server in case rollback was needed.

Follow-ups

• None. The visible glitches are gone and the live page reads cleanly from top to bottom. Future entries should avoid markdown backticks and the "em-dash then hyphen mini-bullets" pattern, since PageMotor stores HTML verbatim.
