Month: 2024-12. Focused work in the Foam3 repository (kgrgreer/foam3) on standardizing internal linking and improving how links are represented and resolved in client-side code. Implemented an internal link system by adding an InternalLink type to represent internal links (nano services or menu items) and extended the String property accordingly. This reduces client-side domain handling and provides a clear guideline for link formatting to support consistent client-side resolution and navigation. Key commits: 2a03a8f8b763ae4d5078924f2fd30603a26c4e4f (Add InternalLink type); 10b49c653448432232d3d32295ba3c696816fce5 (Update src/foam/core/types.js).
