The Engineering Lab moved beyond the original v1.0.0 foundation with the v1.1 website release.
This stage focused on strengthening the website as a real Engineering Lab rather than leaving it as a minimal portfolio foundation.
The work established the baseline for the later information architecture, visual refinement, content discovery, and deeper documentation work.
From this point onward, development became increasingly iterative: inspect the existing system, make focused improvements, verify them, and preserve each meaningful step through Git checkpoints.
