We rewrote the generateMeta() utility to sanitize descriptions, enforce fallbacks, and ensure Prismic content never slips in empty tags again. A sneaky misuse of ?? was letting blank strings block fallback descriptions — now patched with a safer trim() || pattern.
A cache-busting query param (?v=timestamp) was temporarily added to force social scrapers to behave during debugging. The Breadcrumbs system and crumb builder also got reviewed for static vs dynamic routes — including /astra/entries/[uid] — making routing smarter across the board.
The final hurdle was crawler cache and platform quirks, but with enough persistence (and yelling at Facebook), the correct images + descriptions are now live. For real. Finally.
