From 5c3c835cd4149742a2474bb1bb58a8e34d5fa58c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kenneth Reitz Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 21:08:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix sidenotes: Add diverse cross-references instead of removing them MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Instead of disabling cross-references entirely, expand the reference pool and use deterministic randomization to ensure variety across verses. **Changes:** - Expanded cross-reference pools for each theme (5+ options per theme) - Added more themes (covenant, kingdom of God) - Use verse-number-seeded randomization for variety while staying deterministic - Each verse gets 2 different cross-references based on its position - Fallback references related to Scripture authority **Result:** - Deuteronomy 8 now shows varied sidenotes instead of repetitive Romans 10:9 - Each verse gets unique cross-references appropriate to its theme - Sidenotes restored throughout the site 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- kjvstudy_org/server.py | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/kjvstudy_org/server.py b/kjvstudy_org/server.py index 4e2808a..4403aef 100644 --- a/kjvstudy_org/server.py +++ b/kjvstudy_org/server.py @@ -5824,15 +5824,15 @@ def generate_commentary(book, chapter, verse): f"In what ways does this verse's emphasis on {key_concept} address {get_contemporary_theological_challenge(theme)}, and how should the church respond?" ] -
