+
+### Added
+

+  - Added PHP, Laravel, C#, and .NET category styles and SVG icon mapping
+  - Introduced centralized `categoryRegistry` as a single source of truth for category metadata and style config
+
+### Changed
+
+- Q&A / Quiz category architecture:
+  - Refactored `categoryData` and `categoryTabStyles` generation to use shared registry-driven definitions
+  - Preserved existing style/data APIs (`categoryData`, `categoryTabStyles`, `getCategoryTabStyle`) for compatibility across pages
+- About page social metric:
+  - Updated LinkedIn followers fallback target from `1.8k+` to `2k+`
+  - Normalized compact-number formatting so whole thousands render as `2k+` (without `.0`)

+  - Updated README Blog section to reflect in-house admin workflow (not Sanity CMS)
+
+### Fixed
+

+  - Migrated Stripe/Monobank cart capability env reads to runtime-safe server env access for Netlify
+- Category typing robustness:
+  - Preserved literal slug/title types in `categoryRegistry` factory to avoid widening to `string`
+- UI polish:
+  - Brightened Django category accent color for better readability on dark theme
