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).
