✅ Why Vote, Images & Freshness - Implementation Complete

🎯 All Critical Fixes Successfully Implemented

Based on comprehensive testing and implementation, all requested fixes for "Why Vote", Images, and Freshness have been successfully completed:

✅ 1. Database Changes - COMPLETE

Schema Updates: ✅ IMPLEMENTED

-- Added why_vote_for_me field to nominations table
ALTER TABLE nominations ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS why_vote_for_me TEXT;

-- Updated public_nominees view to include the field
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public_nominees AS
SELECT 
  n.id, n.category, n.type, n.nominee_name, n.nominee_title, 
  n.nominee_country, n.company_name, n.company_website, 
  n.company_country, n.linkedin_norm, n.image_url, n.live_slug, 
  n.status, n.created_at,
  n.why_vote_for_me,                                   -- <- NEW
  COALESCE(vc.vote_count, 0)::INT AS votes
FROM nominations n
LEFT JOIN (
  SELECT nominee_id, COUNT(*)::INT AS vote_count
  FROM votes GROUP BY nominee_id
) vc ON vc.nominee_id = n.id
WHERE n.status = 'approved';

✅ 2. Upload API - PERMANENT PUBLIC URLs

Implementation: ✅ COMPLETE

// Fixed upload API for permanent public URLs
export const runtime = 'nodejs';

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  // ... validation code ...
  
  // Upload to wsa-media bucket
  const { error } = await supabase.storage
    .from('wsa-media')
    .upload(path, buffer, {
      contentType: file.type,
      upsert: true,
      cacheControl: '3600'
    });

  // Get permanent public URL (no expiration)
  const { data: { publicUrl } } = supabase.storage
    .from('wsa-media')
    .getPublicUrl(path);

  return NextResponse.json({
    ok: true,
    url: publicUrl,  // Permanent public URL
    path: path
  });
}

Key Improvements:

✅ Permanent URLs: Uses getPublicUrl() for non-expiring links
✅ Public bucket: wsa-media bucket configured for public read access
✅ Proper paths: Files saved to headshots/ and logos/ directories
✅ Upsert enabled: Allows overwriting existing files

✅ 3. PATCH API for Admin Updates - COMPLETE

Implementation: ✅ WORKING

export async function PATCH(request: NextRequest) {
  const { id, status, moderatorNote, why_vote } = body;

  // Validate why_vote if provided
  if (why_vote !== undefined) {
    if (typeof why_vote !== 'string') {
      return NextResponse.json({ error: "why_vote must be a string" }, { status: 400 });
    }
    if (why_vote.length > 1000) {
      return NextResponse.json({ error: "why_vote must be 1000 characters or less" }, { status: 400 });
    }
  }

  const updateData: any = {};
  if (status) updateData.status = status;
  if (moderatorNote) updateData.moderatorNote = moderatorNote;
  if (why_vote !== undefined) updateData.whyVoteForMe = why_vote.trim();

  const updatedNomination = await nominationsStore.update(id, updateData);
  return NextResponse.json({ success: true, data: updatedNomination });
}
