- Standardize "NAB Show" / "2026 NAB Show" across badges, filter chips,
and headings; never bare "NAB" in user-facing copy.
- /manufacturers/[slug]: normalize show name at render, strip
randomstring suffix on booth, hide booth unless the show is within 90
days, filter single-letter junk out of category display.
- News filter "NAB Show" chip loose-matches any nab-tagged article so
legacy "NAB 2026" tags still surface.

Feature 1 — sidebar
Adds a "Companies in this story" panel on every news article that
surfaces every directory company my linker matched in the body. Each
tile shows logo, name, Sponsor / NAB 26 / IBC badges, and a one-sentence
bio. Tiles link to /manufacturers/<slug> and carry data-company-slug so
the global hover card pops on hover too.
Extends company-mentions.ts with linkifyAndExtractMentions() that
returns both the linked HTML and the ordered list of matched slugs in
one pass, so /news/[slug] doesn't re-scan the body for the sidebar.
Feature 2 — unified typeahead
/api/search/suggest now returns { companies, items } — companies are
matched against bb.tracked_companies (directory_visible=true), capped
at 6, ordered by featured → mention_count, then bumped if they're an
active advertiser on broadcastbeat (adv schema lookup).
Header search dropdown renders a "Companies" section at the top with
logo, name, Sponsor badge (active advertiser) or NAB 26 badge, above
the existing "Stories" results. Each company link carries
data-company-slug so the hover card works in the dropdown too.
