Claude d43f78b161 av: clone broadcastbeat sources + AV Beat rebrand (Phase 1)
- Replaces the prior Rocket scaffold (saved on pre-bb-clone-rollback branch)
- Domain: broadcastbeat.com -> avbeat.com
- Brand: Broadcast Beat -> AV Beat
- Slug: broadcastbeat -> avbeat (package, identifiers)
- Schema fallback: bb -> av (env var name unchanged)
- Placeholder AV BEAT logo (gold->red gradient) at /assets/logos/av.svg
- All BB/RMP logo references repointed

Outstanding before public DNS swap:
  - Supabase av schema bootstrap (mirror of bb tables)
  - WordPress archive import (avbeat-com -> av.articles)
  - Coolify env vars
  - dev-avbeat.onsethost.com staging deploy + visual review

Pending — avbeat.com tonight's deferred work

The clean placeholder at /assets/images/article-placeholder.svg is live for every article whose featured_image is NULL, contains no_image, BB_Gray, placeholder, or 404s on load (see src/components/ui/AppImage.tsx). That removes the bad UX immediately for ~518 articles.

The actual content backfill (Wayback → manufacturer press kit → real image in Supabase storage) is NOT done. The smoke-test attempt /tmp/bb-image-backfill.py ran on coolify01:

  • Matrox+Amagi smoke article (matrox-video-and-amagi-collaborate-...): Wayback returned no archived snapshot of https://www.avbeat.com/<slug>/, so the og:image extraction path didn't apply. Many of the broken-image articles are recent NAB 2026 posts that have never been crawled by Wayback.
  • Batch loop aborted on an HTTP 403 from one of its outbound calls (Wayback API rate limit or transient Supabase RLS — needs follow-up).

What needs to happen next session:

  1. For each broken article, try multiple sources in order:
    • Wayback Machine snapshot of avbeat.com/<slug>/ (skip if 404).
    • Manufacturer press-kit page based on title keywords (Matrox, Amagi, Telestream, Calrec, AJA, etc. — keep a per-vendor mapping of press kit URLs).
    • Generic image search via the vendor's news page.
  2. Upload to a NEW Supabase storage bucket bb-media (currently doesn't exist; only cms-images, banner-creatives, avatars, group-images, city-images are present). Need to create with public-read.
  3. Update bb.wp_imported_posts.featured_image with the public storage URL.
  4. Smoke-test on the Matrox+Amagi article first per Ryan's instruction.

Banner creatives (P0-2 follow-up)

Adsanity iframe path removed. Banners pruned because they had no local image. Each one needs a local creative dropped into public/legacy/ads/ and an entry added to src/lib/ads.ts:

  • AJA Video 300x250
  • Zixi 300x250
  • Lectrosonics 300x250
  • Opengear 300x250
  • Studio Hero 300x250
  • Magewell 300x250
  • Blackmagic 300x600 (was originally Adsanity ad-210571)

Hardcoded article slugs (P0-4 follow-up)

/articles/[slug] and /news/[slug] now redirect to /news for unknown slugs, so the dead links from NewsTicker.tsx, FeaturedBento.tsx, and ArticleFeed.tsx no longer 404 — they redirect to the news index. But those components still hardcode fake slugs:

  • NewsTicker headlines array (7 hardcoded entries)
  • FeaturedBento hero + rotatingStories (1 + 15 hardcoded entries)
  • ArticleFeed seed entries (~6 hardcoded)

These should be refactored to pull real recent slugs from bb.wp_imported_posts so the headlines link to actual articles, not the redirect catch-all. Out of scope for tonight.

SEO re-enable

src/app/layout.tsx currently sets robots: { index: false, follow: false } sitewide. Flip both to true once:

  • Phase B (PR rewrite system) lands so the index doesn't get filled with raw press releases competing with the source.
  • Phase C (news sitemap at /news/sitemap-news.xml) lands.
  • Google Rich Results Test passes on a sample /news/<slug> URL.
