+- **EDUCATION IS THE BIGGEST GAP.** George has said teaching and retraining
+  will be a large part of what evig does, and today `/workshops` renders
+  **"0 Workshops · Aktuell sind keine Workshops geplant"** while `/blog`
+  renders nothing at all. The page is DB-driven; the only workshop rows in
+  version control are 6 seeds in `001-unified-auth.sql` whose categories are
+  legacy strings matching none of the 10 canonical ids, written in formal
+  "Sie" against the site's informal "du", and **no `workshop_instances` are
+  seeded anywhere except `e2e-seed.ts`** — without instances there are no
+  dates and registration is impossible. Meanwhile the 43-entry open-source
+  registry (1029 lines, real, indexed) is the largest teaching asset evig
+  owns; #388 moved it and the Linux page into Lernen, which is a signpost,
+  not a fix. Seeding real workshops in the `retraining` category is the
+  single highest-value content job left.

   `/space`, `/about/finances`, `/about/impact`, `/about/press`,
   `/transparenz/kennzahlen`. Behaviourally identical to not existing; they

-- **`/vision` is now in the nav** (#381), but "Über uns" is overloaded at
-  8 items, mixing identity, division pages, trust pages and a Zürich subsidy
-  programme.
-- **"Dienstleistungen" splits pillars 3 and 5 across a Hardware/Software axis**
-  that maps to neither, and lists `Hardware-Recycling` as a peer of
-  `Reparatur` — recycling is a consequence, not a service headline.
-- **Pillar 4 is buried**: `src/config/workshops.ts` already defines a
-  `retraining` category with real strings, rendered as one of ten equal filter
-  chips. No landing page, no nav entry, absent from `workshops.meta`.
