<!-- TBI header · 2026-08-09 (v3): hero-background / logo-scale / comment-bubble block moved
into the theme as tbi-overrides.css §17 — verified live before removal here.
Earlier: removed the Ahrefs tag (no longer used) and the "hide first image in post content" block (matched 0 elements — the banner script's ad-free wrapper became .main-content's first child, so figure:first-child can never match; duplicate heroes were also fixed in the posts themselves). -->

TBI — Site Footer Code Injection · updated 2026-08-02
=====================================================================
Contains: meta-bubble icons · single-post date merge · drop-cap and
legacy-byline tagging · pastel tag pills · image sizing · Disqus ad
hider · TBI banner system.
2026-08-02 — removed "top-callout + duplicate-hero cleanup". The eyebrows
and body bylines it hid are now fixed in the posts themselves, and its
image fallback was hiding real lead photos rather than duplicates.
2026-06-29 — homepage grid moved into the theme (grid-posts.hbs,
tbi-grid.js, tbi-overrides.css §1/§7/§8), taking the Featured fetch and
repaint, the grid equalizer and the Featured/Latest toggle with it.
Don't remove the .tbi-legacy-byline tagging — CSS §4 hides that class and
the banner system skips it when counting paragraphs for ad placement.
2026-08-08 — inlined the reader-presence tracker that was loading from
events.thebolditalic.com. Same behaviour; it was costing one Vercel edge
request per story pageview (~81% of all edge usage). Leave the hosted file
in place for a week — cached copies in readers' browsers still point at it.
2026-08-09 — rewrote the excerpt tidy script. The old one appended a period after a
closing quote or bracket, and after deliberate colons. Also repaired 1,425 excerpts
in the archive itself, so the script rarely has to act now.
Fuller history: TBI-footer-injection-maintainers-notes.md
