Hi Sir, I have started working on TZD-260024 and completed the initial setup. I added the research content collection, created sample research articles, and implemented the Research listing page with dynamic article rendering. The basic structure for the Research & White Papers section is now in place. I am currently working on the research detail page, navigation integration, search, filters, and the remaining requirements.

Today I completed the Research detail page with Markdown-based content rendering and integrated the Research section into the website navigation. I added featured research article support on the listing page, implemented the related research articles section, and fixed article display issues. I also synced the branch with the latest main branch changes, resolved merge conflicts, cleaned up unused code, and verified that the project builds successfully.

Implemented reusable research components to improve the presentation and reusability of research content across the application. Added Statistic Block, Research Quote, Data Card, Callout Box, Timeline, and Graph Placeholder components, and migrated the sample research article from Markdown to MDX to support component-based content. Expanded the article into a long-form research page for validating layouts and reusable components, and verified that the project builds successfully without errors or warnings.
