- Header: replaces AvBeatLogo across all 3 breakpoints (full / no-tagline / iconOnly).
- Footer: replaces AvBeatLogo full variant.
- AnimatedLogo: new iconOnly prop hides the wordmark+tagline span entirely for the mobile breakpoint.
Existing AvBeatLogo file kept on disk for now (unimported, can be deleted later) so we have a quick rollback target if anyone wants the static A+V monogram back.

- New AvBeatLogo inline-SVG component (rounded-square emblem with
forward-leaning AV monogram + horizontal beam detail) at
src/components/AvBeatLogo.tsx, three variants (full/wordmark/icon).
- Header.tsx now uses the responsive AV BEAT logo lockup in the
top-left, links to /, full lockup on desktop (emblem+wordmark+tagline),
emblem+wordmark on tablet, emblem-only on mobile.
- Removed DualSpeedTicker (the 'RECENT FORUM POSTS' ticker strip);
the news ticker / glow chrome does not match the new aesthetic and the
forum row was the explicit removal target.
- Tailwind theme + globals.css now expose the AV BEAT 2026 palette as
semantic tokens: --brand-blue (#1D4ED8), --brand-blue-bright (#38BDF8),
--brand-navy (#0F172A), --brand-bg (#F8FAFC), --brand-surface, --brand-border,
--brand-text, --brand-text-muted. Legacy --color-* aliases re-point to the
new tokens so any inline-styled component re-themes for free.
- Site-wide hex sweep migrates 2,769 hardcoded color literals across 144
files from the old dark-broadcast palette to the new tokens (orange
-> blue, dark-brown -> white surface / navy text, cream -> navy).
- Layout body class flipped from 'bb-neon' to 'bg-brand-bg text-brand-text'
so the dark glow chrome no longer leaks through the new light theme.
Two compounding bugs caused 0 clicks since May 22:
1. lib/ads.ts exported ADS_728X90 / ADS_300X250 / FIXED_300X600 as
IIFE-evaluated module constants. They captured the FALLBACK array
at module-load time, before the centralized RMP banner cache
populates. Every render that referenced them got FALLBACK banners
whose click_url was the direct advertiser URL — bypassing the
centralized click logger entirely. 300x250s escaped because every
page reads them via rotateAll() at render time.
2. Even when the new RMP-cache banners did render, click_url pointed
at www.RMP.com/<property>/<slug>, which logs to adv.banner_clicks.
The RMP analytics dashboard reads bb.ad_clicks. Repointed click
URLs at advertising.RMP.com/r/<campaign_id> so all clicks land in
the single table the dashboard queries.
Files: lib/ads.ts (remove broken IIFE exports + repoint click_url),
SidebarAdStack, Header, Footer, and 9 pages (reading-list, forum,
forum/thread, search, gear, technology, authors, show-coverage x2).

The Featured-story card's right edge wasn't lining up with any of the
ad banners below or beside it on the homepage. Two root causes:
1. Pages I redesigned (/about, /about/contact, /about/team,
/about/advertise, /show-coverage/[slug]) used `max-w-6xl px-6`
(1152px / 24px-pad). Every other page uses `max-w-container
px-4` (1200px / 16px-pad). Pages didn't line up with the
header leaderboard or with each other.
2. ArticleFeed used a flexible 12-col grid where lg:col-span-4
ends up ~280px wide (depending on container) — so the 300x250
image inside the sidebar didn't extend to the column's right
edge, leaving a visual gap relative to the full-width Featured
card above.
Fix:
- All redesigned pages now use `max-w-container mx-auto px-4`.
- ArticleFeed switches to `lg:grid-cols-[1fr,300px]` so the sidebar
column is *exactly* 300px wide. The 300x250 ads fill that column
flush, so their right edge meets the container's right padding
edge — same x-position as the Featured card's right edge above.
Also linkified the "Relevant Media Properties" copyright string in
Footer.tsx → opens https://www.relevantmediaproperties.com/ in a new
tab.

- Footer bottom: replace the plain "Broadcast Beat" text wordmark
with the same logo image used in the top-left header (so footer
matches header brand mark).
- Move the site-wide search input out of the top sticky row and
into the Browse bar that sits below the 728x90 leaderboard. Top
row is now just logo / reading-list / notification bell.
- Browse bar redesign for personality + alignment:
* 48px tall, dark navy gradient with a 2px accent-blue bottom
border and a horizontal sheen across the top edge
* Search input (pill shape, focus-glow ring) sits flush left
* Menu items (Events ▾, Newsletter, Forum, About ▾) are now
right-aligned via flex justify-between
* Each menu item is uppercase + tracked, hover lights an
accent-blue underline that scales in from the left
* EventsDropdown and AboutDropdown buttons now use the same
.bb-browse-item class — fixes the vertical alignment issue
where they were rendering at the old 60px nav-link-bb height
while the new bar is 48px.

Two unrelated tidy-ups, bundled:
- src/components/AskBBAI.tsx: remove the "12,847 indexed" subtitle next
to the Ask BB AI floating-action button (placeholder/mock text from
the original mockup; the real index count isn't wired in).
- src/components/Footer.tsx: the footer-bottom logo was sourcing an
image from img.rocket.new — a third-party CDN unrelated to BB
(artifact from the initial rocket.new export). Replace with a plain
text wordmark Link to /home-page. No third-party image, same UX.

Replace the four accent-family hex codes site-wide with the teal palette
(keeps the dark theme; only swaps the accent family, not the dark base):
#3b82f6 (accent primary CTA) → #5B7C8D (teal) [839×]
#2563eb (accent-dark / hover) → #4A6473 (darker teal) [44×]
#60a5fa (info link, lighter) → #8FB0C3 (mid teal) [68×]
#1e3a5f (accent-muted bg) → #2F4F5F (navy) [44×]
tailwind.config.js tokens updated to match (accent/accent-dark/accent-muted).
Sweep also covers tailwind.css. 108 files touched. The dark base (#0d0d0d,
#111, #161616, #1a1a1a etc.) is intentionally untouched.

Banner spec from Ryan:
- 728x90 header (every page): pool is now LiveU only; rotates when more
728x90 entries are added to ads.ts.
- 728x90 below main menu on article pages: removed (was the article-top
AdSlot stub).
- 728x90 footer (every page): replaces the old 300x250 rocket.new
placeholder in Footer.tsx. Rotates from the same ADS_728X90 pool.
- 300x250 sidebar: now renders EVERY entry in ADS_300X250 stacked
vertically, shuffled per page-view. Pool: AJA, Zixi, Telycam, LiveU,
Lectrosonics, Opengear, Studio Hero, Magewell. Adding more entries to
ads.ts auto-grows the stack.
- 300x600 fixed slot: Blackmagic (Adsanity ad-210571), top of sidebar,
never rotated.
Implementation:
- ads.ts: Ad interface now allows either src (local image) or adsanity_id
(iframe). New rotateAll() returns ALL ads of a size shuffled; pickAds
kept for ArticleBody bounded slots.
- AdImage.tsx: dropped the legacy ADSANITY_CAMPAIGN_MAP label fallback —
ads.ts is now the single source of truth, so Telycam (no adsanity_id)
renders its local GIF instead of the iframe.
- SidebarAdStack.tsx: rotateAll(300x250) instead of pickAds with a
count cap. count prop removed; callers updated.
- NewsArticleDetailClient.tsx: removed article-top 728x90 stub.
- Footer.tsx: 728x90 AdImage in place of the 300x250 placeholder.
- LeaderboardAd.tsx: deleted (was unused after the earlier home-page
cleanup).
- PENDING_ads.md: rewritten — Adsanity IDs to verify (Studio Hero,
Blackmagic) and optional local-file upgrades.

- Remove duplicate 728x90 LeaderboardAd below news ticker (per Ryan)
