Typed references (@tbl-, @fig-, @sec-, @lst-, @eq-) and label
definitions ({#tbl-...}, {#fig-...}) were all rendering in generic
blue because overlapping decorations overrode the typed colors.
Fix by collecting typed matches first and excluding them from
generic/structural buckets. Also fix label-definition regexes to
match labels with trailing attributes (e.g. {#fig-foo fig-env=...}).
Change footnote colors from invisible slate-gray to distinct pink/rose
for clear visual separation from other reference types.
Remove all 27 individual color-override settings (mlsysbook.color*)
since only the preset picker (subtle/balanced/vivid) is needed.
Remove redundant ml_ prefix from ml_workflow chapter files and update all
Quarto config references. Consolidate custom scripts into native binder
subcommands and archive obsolete tooling.
- Add Python value resolver that executes QMD code blocks and resolves
inline `{python} var` references to their actual values
- Display resolved values as ghost text, hover tooltips, and CodeLens
- Unwrap IPython.display.Markdown objects (.data) and display_value dicts
for readable output instead of object reprs
- Suppress matplotlib plot windows during resolution (Agg backend)
- Split inline Python highlighting into keyword + variable decorations
- Disable callout/div body and table region background highlights by
default (too noisy); fence markers and cross-references still colored
- Add settings: showInlinePythonValues, showInlinePythonCodeLens,
highlightCalloutBackground, highlightTables (default: false)
- Completed full standardization of 150+ calculation headers across all 16 Volume 1 chapters.
- Replaced legacy 'Why:' blocks with the 'Goal/Show/How' documentation pattern.
- Finalized P.I.C.O. class refactors for complex cells in frameworks and serving.
- Verified header consistency across introduction, ml_systems, training, and optimizations.
- Performed minor stabilization in book/vscode-ext logic.
