Enhance chapter content and metadata: Update SKILL.md to include requirements for chart axes in all widgets. Implement axis labels, arrowheads, and graduations in the simultaneous graph explorer widget. Update math curriculum JSON to reflect the status change of multiple chapters to live. Add last modified timestamps to chapter templates and generate corresponding metadata for improved site navigation and SEO.

<h2 id="history" class="book-prose__heading">History</h2>
<p>
Variation models grew from early physics and astronomy, where scientists needed formulas for how
one quantity depends on another. The language of proportionality became a bridge between algebra
and real measurements.

<h3 id="why-constant-k" class="book-prose__heading">Why we use a constant \(k\)</h3>
<p>
“Directly proportional” means ratio \(\frac{y}{x}\) stays constant, so \(\frac{y}{x}=k\) and
\(y=kx\). For inverse variation, product \(xy\) stays constant, so \(xy=k\).
