Status

Phase 2/3 — Build and seed integration are now being hardened toward production readiness.

Confirmed:

• Launch page scope: Home, Products, Product Detail, Support, Downloads, FAQ, About, Dealers, News
• Support priority: FAQ, Warranty, Contact
• Stack: Next.js
• CMS: Payload
• Localized Payload schema implemented for products, downloads, news, support, dealers, media, files, videos, and product reviews
• Legacy seed pipeline implemented for products, downloads, videos, and reviews
• Product detail pages support local HTML templates plus CMS-managed downloads, videos, and reviews
• Downloads center is connected to CMS-managed download metadata
• Admin cache clearing revalidates primary frontend pages and dynamic product/news/download detail routes
• Dealer page supports separate dealer and experience-store records
• Seed/fallback content is being narrowed so existing CMS content remains authoritative
• Brand line: "A refined way to experience music."
• Homepage kept intentionally simple; hero = lifestyle scene; featured products = 4
• No pricing anywhere on site
• Legacy URLs handled via 301 redirects

Pending:

• Full editorial QA for CMS-entered content, media ownership, and bilingual copy
• Performance pass with production hosting cache behavior
• Launch deadline and deployment target confirmation
