Bug Fixes

Fixed GitHub Notebook Rendering Error (metadata.widgets issue)
A user reported that 2 of the Jupyter Notebooks failed to render on GitHub with the following message:

“There was an error rendering your Notebook: the 'state' key is missing from 'metadata.widgets'. Add 'state' to each, or remove 'metadata.widgets'.”

Cause:
Google Colab automatically injects a metadata.widgets block into .ipynb files.
GitHub’s notebook renderer does not support this widget metadata, leading to a rendering failure.

Resolution:
The invalid widget metadata was manually removed from the affected notebook.

Steps performed:

  1. Opened the .ipynb file in VS Code as raw JSON
    (Right-click → Reopen Editor With → Text Editor)
  2. Searched for all occurrences of "widgets" inside the metadata.
  3. Deleted the entire "widgets" block, including all nested content and its trailing comma.
  4. Saved the file and reopened it in Notebook mode.
  5. Committed and pushed the cleaned notebook back to GitHub.

Result:
The notebook now renders correctly on GitHub with no errors.

Performance Improvements

  • Optimized Markdown rendering for improved readability on GitHub and mobile devices.
