The rendering split is dictated by CI building with no database.
/blog, /blog/rss.xml and /content-sitemap.xml have no dynamic params, so
Next prerenders them at build time and the build fails on a missing
Payload secret — caught here, not on staging. They are force-dynamic
instead: one indexed query against Postgres on the same Docker network,
and a newly published post appears immediately rather than waiting on a
revalidation. /blog/[slug] keeps ISR, because with no
generateStaticParams there is nothing to prerender; it is generated on
first request and cached, which is exactly what the collection's
afterChange hook exists to invalidate.
RichText takes `converters`, not `blocks`, in Payload 3.88, and the
default converters must be spread or every paragraph and heading loses
its renderer and the body comes out empty.
BlogPosting references the Person and Organization by @id rather than
repeating them, so every post and the About page resolve to one author
entity instead of declaring several people with the same name.
/sitemap.xml is proxied from FastAPI, which knows nothing about Payload,
so the Next-owned URLs get their own sitemap and robots.txt lists both.

The site had no author, no statement of why it exists and nobody
accountable for its numbers, which is most of why it reads as machine
generated.
The page states plainly that its author is not an education expert. The
credibility claim is lived experience — a parent going through primary
admissions — plus stated provenance for every figure, which is true and
cannot be undermined by someone noticing there is no teaching
qualification behind it. First name only: the Person JSON-LD carries no
familyName, worksFor or affiliation, and a test asserts it stays that
way.
The footer gains a fourth column, with a tablet breakpoint so four
columns pair up rather than crushing before the 768px collapse. The nav
is deliberately untouched — its mobile tab bar already carries four
items.
public/brand/tudor.jpg is NOT in this commit. The page references it and
will show a broken image until the photograph is supplied; a stock
portrait would defeat the entire point of the work.

Payload's admin panel ships its own root layout rendering html/body.
Next allows multiple root layouts only when no app/layout.tsx exists, so
the site's routes move into their own group. Route groups are invisible
to routing: every public URL is unchanged, verified against the build's
route table.
The metadata file conventions deliberately stay at the app/ root. Moving
them into the group renamed /icon.png to /icon-4usi79.png (likewise
apple-icon and opengraph-image) and dropped /robots.txt altogether,
which would have broken the /icon.png cache-control rule, the
outputFileTracingIncludes entry for the share card, and robots.txt.
darkThemeSafety reads app/globals.css off disk rather than importing it,
so it needed its own path fix — a grep for import specifiers misses it,
and it fails as an unrunnable suite rather than a failed assertion.
