The row of grey chips under the name mixed the council, a GIAS governance term, the age range and provision, with no labels. Parents could not tell what "Wandsworth" or "Nursery" meant, and selective, faith and fees were missing or buried in the details. The header now prints one fact line (phase pill · ages · type · pupils), then flags only for what applies, in a fixed order: who can apply or what it costs (Fee-paying, Selective, Girls'/Boys' school, the religious character as recorded), then what the school offers (Nursery class, Sixth form). Flags carry no hue: they are facts, not verdicts. The council joins the address unless the address already names it. The details keep headteacher, website, phone, academy trust (hidden when it has the school's own name) and capacity; county, constituency and religious character leave the header. The proposed-to-close strip is unchanged. lib/schoolFacts holds the type label and the flags so the search rows can print the same words. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SchoolCompare frontend and CMS
Next.js App Router with React, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Chart.js, Leaflet and Payload CMS. It serves school search, comparisons, rankings, school/place detail pages and editorial content across England.
Start with the repository overview, architecture and development checks.

Do not introduce a shared app/layout.tsx: public pages and Payload have separate
root layouts. Keep root metadata files outside the route groups.
Data and state
Server pages fetch initial data directly from FASTAPI_URL. Browser fetches use
/api by default, forwarded by app/(frontend)/api/[...path]/route.ts.
FASTAPI_URL must include /api. See .env.example for CMS and API settings.
State uses React hooks/context, URL search parameters and localStorage for the comparison basket. SWR is not installed. Maps use dynamic Leaflet wrappers. Revalidation intervals are configured in fetch wrappers and pages; they vary by resource. Backend reloads do not automatically invalidate every Next.js cache.
Commands
npm ci
npm run typecheck
npm test -- --runInBand
npm run build
test:watch and test:coverage are also available. There is no lint script.
A running application needs the backend/data environment described in the
development guide.
After CMS field or editor changes, run npm run generate:importmap. Keep
payload-types.ts generated from the CMS schema rather than editing it by hand.
The build must work without a database connection; avoid module-scope CMS queries
and DB-backed generateStaticParams functions.
See publishing for CMS operations and deployment for staging and production promotion.
