Merged
Conversation
The catalog endpoint was behind auth middleware, causing 404/redirect responses for unauthenticated callers (ideaplaces.com product pages).

Root Cause
The
/api/catalogendpoint was not listed in the middleware'sPUBLIC_PATHSarray. Unauthenticated requests (from ideaplaces.com product pages) were redirected to/login, causing the caller to receive a non-JSON redirect response interpreted as a 404/error.Fix
Added
/api/catalogto thePUBLIC_PATHSarray insrc/middleware.ts. This endpoint serves public product catalog data consumed by the ideaplaces.com website and should be accessible without authentication.Alert Reference
