Changelog 2026-03-06 (Local Hugo Runtime Install + Build Validation)

Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026

Added

Added scripts/install-hugo-local.sh to install pinned Hugo Extended (0.140.2) into ~/.local/bin/hugo without sudo.

Changed

Updated README.md local dev flow to use the no-sudo installer and explicit local Hugo path.
Updated docs/INSTALL-HUGO-LOCAL.md with the runtime-safe installation and verification commands.

Verified

Ran ~/.local/bin/hugo --gc --minify successfully in this runtime.

Why

This removes the recurring hugo: command not found blocker for heartbeat-driven QA/build checks and keeps validation self-serve in constrained runtimes.
