Empty Related Articles bug on /articles/<slug> traced to two issues:
- Two rows were imported with category="industry" instead of the canonical
"Industry News", so the category-match query returned zero peers.
- The fallback path was missing — getLegacyRelatedArticles now tops up
with the latest published rows whenever the category match is short.

rewriteLegacyImageUrlsInHtml only swapped URLs that had a mapping in
legacy-image-map.json — anything missing the map was left pointing at
the dead https://www.broadcastbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/ host (404
in browsers, bad for SEO, broken-image icons everywhere).
New stripDeadLegacyImages() pass runs after the rewrite and removes:
- <figure> blocks whose only inner image is a dead WP image
- <a> wrappers around dead images
- Bare <img dead> tags
- Empty <figure> leftovers
…leaving body copy intact and figcaption-less.
cleanLegacyImages() is the one-call helper that pipes both steps.
Applied via rowToArticle so every /news/<slug> render gets it.
Was linking to /news?category=Featured which silently fell back to the
unfiltered /news listing because "Featured" isn't in CATEGORIES and the
filter is tag-based, not category-column-based.
Adds getLegacyFeaturedArticles() that mirrors FeaturedBento's query
(category ILIKE 'featured', featured-flag-first sort) at limit 200, and
a thin /news/featured route that reuses NewsPageClient.
- Homepage / Industry News query filters wp_imported_posts to
ai_rewritten_at IS NOT NULL so raw press releases never surface on
the editorial feed (NewsArticle JSON-LD was already in place).
- New /news-sitemap.xml route emits a Google News sitemap covering
rewritten editorial published in the last 48 hours, with
news:publication + news:publication_date + news:title + keywords.
- robots.ts now points crawlers at both sitemap.xml and
news-sitemap.xml.
After deploy, submit broadcastbeat.com to Google News Publisher Center
to start serving in News.
- layout.tsx: flip robots.index from false→true (and the matching
googleBot block). Drop the manual <meta name="robots"
content="index, follow"> in the JSX head — it was duplicating
(and conflicting with) the metadata-driven tag, so Google was
seeing both "index, follow" AND "noindex, nofollow" and taking
the more restrictive one. Now the metadata block is the single
source of truth.
- sitemap.ts: expand from 5,000 articles to up to 45,000 (catalog
is ~26k; cap leaves room for static + authors + events under
Google's 50k-per-file ceiling). Add /authors/[slug] entries
pulled from bb.author_profiles, and /events/[slug] entries
pulled from bb.events. Drop the duplicate /articles/[slug]
emissions — /news/[slug] is the canonical news URL.
- legacy-source.ts: page through the supabase query in 1,000-row
chunks via Range headers so the 25k cap actually returns the
full catalog (the previous `.limit(25000)` was getting silently
truncated at PostgREST's default 1,000 max_rows).
Phase B (Ollama rewriter) is live; the press-release scrubber +
AI featured-image jobs are running in background to clean the
catalog. User explicitly chose to open SEO now rather than wait
for those jobs to finish.
- searchLegacyArticles() default limit: 50 → 5000. /search page
explicitly passes 5000 too. ilike on title/excerpt/author is fast
enough on the 29k-row archive that returning everything is fine.
- New API route /api/search/suggest?q=...&limit=8 returns the top
matching article titles + category + slug, with a 30-second CDN
cache + 60-second stale-while-revalidate.
- The search input in the Browse bar now debounces (150ms) and
fires that API per keystroke once 2+ chars are typed. Matches
appear in a styled dropdown below the input — click to navigate
directly to /news/<slug>, or press Enter to fall through to the
full /search page. "See all results for …" link in the dropdown
footer.
- Keyboard: Escape closes the dropdown; aria-autocomplete + role
listbox/option for accessibility.

After the AI re-categorization, bb.wp_imported_posts.category holds the
new taxonomy: 'Industry News', 'Show Coverage', 'Cameras & Capture',
'Streaming & IP', 'Audio', 'Live Production', 'Cloud & Workflow',
'Post Production', 'Broadcast Production', 'AI & Automation'.
The map that drives /gear, /technology, /show-coverage, /news page
queries still referenced the OLD taxonomy ('Gear', 'Reviews',
'Technology', 'Streaming') — so /gear and /technology effectively
returned nothing-matched and fell through to the catch-all section,
causing the duplicate-posts-across-sections behaviour the user
reported.
/gear → Cameras & Capture, Audio
/technology → Streaming & IP, Cloud & Workflow, AI & Automation,
Live Production, Post Production, Broadcast Production
/show-coverage→ Show Coverage
/news → Industry News

src/lib/articles/legacy-source.ts
- getLegacyArticleBySlug, getLegacyArticlesBySection, searchLegacyArticles,
getLegacyRecentSlugs, getLegacyRecentSitemapEntries: each now UNIONs
bb.ai_rewritten_articles (status=published) with bb.wp_imported_posts.
Rewrites carry persona attribution (author/avatar/title) via a
persona:ai_personas(slug,name,beat,avatar_url) embed.
- Section routing for rewrites is by category, not tags (rewrites do not
use the WP tag taxonomy — they have category strings written by Claude).
src/app/api/ai/submit/route.ts
- Bearer auth via BB_INGEST_BEARER (preferred) or x-internal-key (legacy)
- Polymorphic payload: accepts native {rawTitle, rawContent, ...} OR the
distribute-rmp shape {title, body, contributor:{...}, attachments,
submission_id, ...}. Distribute attachments + featured image survive in
bb.ai_original_submissions.metadata.
src/app/api/ai/rewrite/route.ts
- Same bearer auth pattern as submit.

P0-2 (Adsanity iframe path removed):
- AdImage.tsx: deleted the iframe branch and the ADSANITY_CAMPAIGN_MAP
fallback. AdImage now renders local images only; banners without a
src render nothing.
- ads.ts: removed Ad.adsanity_id from the interface. Pruned AJA, Zixi,
Lectrosonics, Opengear, Studio Hero, Magewell 300x250 and Blackmagic
300x600 — they relied on ads.broadcastbeat.com which does not resolve.
Surviving live banners: LiveU 728x90, LiveU PAYG 300x250, Telycam 300x250.
- SidebarAdStack: key no longer references the removed field.
- No banner_analytics rows reference ads.broadcastbeat.com.
Phase A (SEO baseline):
- robots.ts: fallback base URL now broadcastbeat.com (was rocket staging URL).
- sitemap.ts: fallback base URL now broadcastbeat.com (was bb-staging).
- news/[slug]/page.tsx and articles/[slug]/page.tsx: same fallback fix.
JSON-LD now uses ISO 8601 for datePublished, absolute image URL via
SITE_URL prefix, and publisher.logo points at /assets/images/logo.png
instead of the 404-ing /legacy/site/broadcastbeat-logo.png.
- layout.tsx: removed the /en /es /pt /fr /de /zh /ja /ar /hi hreflang
alternates - those routes 404 today; Phase D will reinstate. Replaced
rocket.new Organization schema URL with broadcastbeat.com. Set
robots index/follow=false until Phase B-D land and Rich Results passes.
Featured-image fallback hardening:
- legacy-source: rowToArticle now treats BB_Gray, no_image and placeholder
URLs as null and falls back to the new placeholder so dead images do not
leak through to the page.
- public/assets/images/article-placeholder.svg: new clean dark gradient
with BroadcastBeat wordmark, NOT no_image.png style.

P0-3 (category page crash):
- Add src/app/error.tsx and src/app/global-error.tsx so any future render
error shows a real ref id instead of the bare client-exception toast.
- NewsPageClient: null-guard every field accessed during search/category/
sort filtering and article render (title, excerpt, author, tags,
category, date, image, alt). The user-visible link
/news?category=live-production now also hydrates filter state from
?category= and ?search= search-params, so the dropdown actually filters.
P0-4 (/articles/[slug] 404s):
- /articles/[slug] and /news/[slug]: on slug miss, redirect("/news")
instead of notFound(). Dead links from the hardcoded NewsTicker /
FeaturedBento / ArticleFeed arrays now land on the news index instead
of dead-ending on 404.
- legacy-source: add searchLegacyArticles() (title/excerpt/author ilike).
P0-5 (header search):
- Header: wire Enter on the desktop and mobile search inputs and make
both search icons clickable buttons. Submits to /search?q=<query>.
- New /search route: server component that runs searchLegacyArticles
and renders results in the same card style as /news.

Eliminates 72 hardcoded rocket.new image refs in one shot. Section pages
(/gear, /technology, /show-coverage, /news) now render from
bb.wp_imported_posts via getLegacyArticlesBySection(section), which maps
each non-news section to a curated tag set (e.g. gear -> Audio, Cameras,
lighting, Blackmagic Design, monitoring; technology -> AI, Streaming,
OTT, IP, Cloud, AV; show-coverage -> NAB, IBC, BroadcastAsia).
Also:
- src/lib/articles/types.ts: Article interface lifted out of the deleted
seed file. Type-only consumers (NewsArticleDetailClient,
ArticleDetailClient, legacy-source) re-imported from here.
- /news (client component) now wrapped: server fetches articles from DB
and passes to NewsPageClient. Filter UI unchanged.
- generateStaticParams on /news/[slug] and /articles/[slug] no longer
references seed slugs; pre-renders 50 most-recent imported slugs and
relies on dynamicParams + revalidate=3600 for the rest.
- sitemap.ts now sources article URLs from
getLegacyRecentSitemapEntries() (up to 5000 most-recent imported posts).
Default BASE_URL fallback updated from the rocket.new placeholder to
bb-staging.onsethost.com.
- src/app/api/ai/article-suggestions/route.ts now pulls candidates from
the DB (top 100 recent news) and resolves AI-returned slugs via DB
lookup if not in the candidate window.
Inline rocket.new image refs in homepage components (ArticleFeed,
FeaturedBento) are unchanged in this commit; those are inline seed
arrays in the components, not imports of sampleArticles.
- new src/lib/articles/legacy-source.ts: server-side Supabase reader
(bb schema, anon key, RLS public_read policy) that maps imported rows
to the existing Article shape, applies rewriteLegacyImageUrl for the
featured image and rewriteLegacyImageUrlsInHtml across the body.
- both [slug]/page.tsx routes now: try seed sampleArticles first; on
miss fall back to getLegacyArticleBySlug. Related articles match via
same-category recent posts when imported.
- generateStaticParams pre-renders seed slugs + 50 most recent imported
posts. dynamicParams=true means anything else server-renders on first
request and ISR caches it for 1h (revalidate=3600). Avoids a 4577-page
build.
- Hardcoded builtwithrocket.new URLs in JSON-LD replaced with
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL.
