Oct 1, 2024In Oct 2024, in IllinoisRef/mechref, completed targeted UI cleanup to improve maintainability and reduce duplication, with no user-facing feature changes. Removed the redundant Bearings SubSubSection component from contact and rolling pages and added a cross-page content cue in the work and energy page to mirror content from the potential energy subsection. These changes streamline the component tree and set the stage for future refactors.
