SponsorLogoStrip section heading, the section aria-label, the home-page
section comment, and the NAB-2026 page heading + comment all swap to the
new label. No external API or schema references the old phrase, so this
is a pure copy change.

- FeaturedBentoFromDb: row below the hero is now a 3-up rail on the left
with the Blackmagic 300x600 on the right, aligned with the hero's right
edge. SidebarAdStack skips that 300x600 so the article-feed sidebar
starts with the 300x250 stack instead.
- cleanExcerpt: render-time word-snap for excerpts that were hard-cut at a
byte count (Matrox 50-years showed "Since 1976, the co" mid-word). Used
on the bento hero subhead and the article-feed cards.
- SponsorLogoStrip: now also pulls every tracked_companies.featured=true
brand (Rode, TBC Consoles, Plura, Autocue, Autoscript, Filmcraft,
Lectrosonics, Prompter People, SanDisk, Sennheiser), and logos go from
h-10/h-12 max-w-140 → h-14/h-16 max-w-180 with thicker padding.

Feature 3 — forum auto-linking
Thread + reply bodies in /forum/thread/[id] now wrap company-name
mentions with /manufacturers/<slug> links via a new client-side
LinkifyPlainText component. Loads the directory list once per page
(module-level promise cache), regex-scans each body, preserves
whitespace, caps at 10 links per body to avoid clutter.
CompanyMentionsHover mounted on the page so the same preview card
pops on hover.
Adds /api/public/companies/list — minimal { name, slug } directory
feed, cached 10min.
Feature 4 — /nab-2026 live coverage hub
New page aggregating every directory company with exhibits_nab=true.
Three sections:
- Coverage Partners — active advertisers exhibiting at NAB, larger
tiles with emerald Sponsor border
- Latest from the show floor — last 60 days of articles with NAB
in the title, cinematic grid
- All NAB 2026 exhibitors — alphabetical, capped at 200 with link
to full /manufacturers directory
Every company tile carries data-company-slug for hover previews.
Feature 5b — Sponsor logo strip on homepage
New SponsorLogoStrip server component renders just above the footer
on the homepage, showing logos of every current banner advertiser
with a directory entry + logo. Each links to the manufacturer
profile with the hover-card slug attribute.
Feature 5c — Recent coverage on manufacturer profiles
/manufacturers/[slug] now includes a grid of the 6 most recent
articles matching the company name in the title, with thumbnails.
Renames the existing manufacturer_id-linked block to "Press
releases" since it's a separate data source.
