# T01: Reordered technique page sidebar (plugins first), added prominent creator block with genre pills, and implemented per-category badge color system with 6 category-specific color pairs

**Reordered technique page sidebar (plugins first), added prominent creator block with genre pills, and implemented per-category badge color system with 6 category-specific color pairs**

## What Happened

Three changes to TechniquePage.tsx and App.css: (1) Moved Plugins Referenced section to top of sidebar column, before Key Moments. (2) Extracted creator from inline meta row into a dedicated creator-block between title and meta, with larger font-size/weight and genre pills. (3) Added 12 CSS custom properties for 6 category color pairs, 6 .badge--cat-* classes, and dynamic category class derivation in JSX with .badge--category as fallback.

## Verification

TypeScript compilation (tsc --noEmit) passed with zero errors. Vite production build succeeded (47 modules, 811ms). Grep verification confirmed sidebar order (plugins at line 418 before key moments at 432), creator-block placement, 12 new CSS variables, 6 badge--cat-* classes, and dynamic category class in JSX.
