Branch	`owen/init-accounting-guide`
Commit	`ce809d3` — Add accounting & financial statements study guide
Base	`main` @ `61f8519` — Initialize repository (empty root commit)
Deployed to	not yet — Pages builds after merge to `main`

14 topics in topics/, nav_order 2–15, each with why it matters → core concepts → mental model → interview Q&A with answer keys → verified YouTube watch list → further reading. Topic 14 carries the 🎯 Frequent badge.
Site files: _config.yml, Gemfile, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, index.md, .gitignore.
Every page scoped to ≤10 min (badges run 6–10 min).

Build: clean JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build (Jekyll 4.4.1, just-the-docs 0.12.0). 15 HTML pages generated. Remaining output is Sass deprecation warnings from the upstream theme, not site content.
Internal links: 342/342 resolve in built HTML, validated after baseurl resolution. This surfaced a real defect — 7 ../topics/... links on the home page resolved outside /accounting-guide and would have 404’d in production. Fixed to topics/....
External links: 49/49 return HTTP 200 (Khan Academy, Wall Street Prep, Investopedia, YouTube). Two repaired during review: a malformed video ID in topic 03, and a dead Investopedia slug in topic 08.
Structure: 14 permalinks, nav_order sequence, required sections, badge vs. home-page table consistency, and front matter all verified programmatically.

main did not exist on the remote (the repo had no commits at all), so it was initialized with an empty root commit to give the PR a base. No site content is on main. main was never force-pushed.
The feature branch was rebased onto main and force-pushed once with --force-with-lease to establish shared history. main is untouched.
Gemfile.lock is gitignored, matching the sibling guides, so Pages resolves gems from Gemfile at build time.
Intentionally uncommitted: OPENCODE_TASK.md, REFERENCE_*.txt, _ref/.
https://cliffweng.github.io/accounting-guide/ currently 404s — expected, as the site is not deployed until this PR merges.
Git identity was unset, so a repo-local identity (Cliff Weng, 7596956+cliffweng@users.noreply.github.com) was configured for this repository only. Global config untouched.
Ruby 3.3.8 was installed system-wide via apt in the dev sandbox to run the build; gems are vendored into the gitignored vendor/.
