v1.7.0

Central author profiles — define authors once in config/authors.ts with name, role, bio, avatar, and URL. Blog posts reference authors by ID (authors: [janedoe]) instead of repeating inline objects. Inline fields override the config profile when both exist

Blog cover visuals — new coverImage and coverColor frontmatter fields for blog posts. Use coverImage for a full-bleed photo, coverColor for a brand color with pattern overlay, or omit both to use the default category gradient

Author bio cards — blog articles now show a bio card at the bottom of the page with the author's name, role, bio, and avatar. The author name at the top of each article links down to the bio card

Search branding — the search dialog now displays "Powered by Trellis Docs" in the footer

Title case small words — sidebar labels and breadcrumbs no longer capitalize small words like "and", "of", "the", "in", "for", "to", "a", "an", "is", "by", "on", "at", "or", "as"

Blog header alignment — date and read time now align to the same baseline as the author name instead of being vertically centered with the entire author block
