-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app).
+# SYSTEM_LAB // Portfolio & The_Forge
 
-## Getting Started
+A high-performance, containerized professional portfolio and R&D lab built with **Next.js 15**, **Tailwind CSS**, and **TypeScript**. This project serves as both a public showcase and a dynamic bridge to a private **Forgejo** instance for real-time development tracking.
 
-First, run the development server:
+## 🏗️ Architecture Summary
+
+- **Infrastructure**: Hosted on a **Hetzner** cloud node.
+- **Containerization**: Fully Dockerized for **linux/amd64** architectures.
+- **CI/CD**: Automated build and deployment via **Woodpecker CI**.
+- **CDN**: Assets and media served via **Bunny CDN** for global performance.
+- **Data Layer**: Dynamic changelog fetching from private repositories via **Forgejo API**.
+
+## 🛠️ Technical Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router).
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS with a monospace "Technical Lab" aesthetic.
+- **Icons**: Lucide React.
+- **Deployment**: Docker Compose with `force-dynamic` runtime environment injection.
+
+## 🚀 Deployment & Build
+
+The project utilizes a specialized build process to ensure compatibility with the production Hetzner node environment:
+
+### Manual Build
 
 ```bash
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
-pnpm dev
-# or
-bun dev
+docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t portfolio:latest .
 ```
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+### Automated Pipeline
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+Deployments are triggered via Git Releases. The Woodpecker pipeline executes the following steps:
+-Build: Compiles the Next.js application for linux/amd64.
+-Push: Uploads the image to a private container registry.
+-Deploy: Re-creates the container on the Hetzner node, injecting the FORGEJO_TOKEN from a secure .env file at runtime.
 
-This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel.
+## 🧪 The_Forge Integration
 
-## Learn More
+"The Forge" is a dynamic project log system that provides a glimpse into active R&D cycles.
+-Metadata: Configured via data/forge.ts for project-specific details.
+-Real-time Logs: Fetched server-side from private changelog.md files.
+-Status: Includes a conditional ACTIVE_STREAM pulse based on commit recency.
+-Performance: Utilizes Next.js data caching with a 1-hour revalidation window.
