Summary

Public-repo half of the paired Adur rollout. Data-repo PR: civaccount-data#88.

Adur becomes the fourth fully-compliant reference council (Bradford → Kent → Camden → Adur) and the first district under the v1.3 14-phase playbook. Per the 2026-05-01 reset directive, batches 32-43 (35 districts) were breadth-shipped without depth — Adur is the first to pass full audit.

What's in this PR (public repo)

  • src/data/population.ts: Adur 64,200 → 64,889 (verbatim ONS Mid-2024)
  • src/components/dashboard/YourBillCard.tsx: STRIP the two-tier district-explainer callout. It rendered £2,068 = totalBill - thisCouncilBandD — a CivAccount subtraction that doesn't appear verbatim in any single council's publication. Same precedent as the YoY callout removal (2026-04-22). Affects all districts, not just Adur. Context preserved by the per-precept breakdown card below.
  • scripts/council-research/status/adur.json: phase ledger
  • scripts/council-research/specs/adur-images.json: Phase 1b spec
  • docs/PROGRESS.md: Adur added as 4th reference; remediation queue for batches 32-43

Why a UI strip?

Phase 5b live UX sweep (ux-audit.mjs) flagged 3 unwrapped numeric values on /council/adur: 365, £2,068, £1,677. All three came from the two-tier callout in YourBillCard.tsx. The £2,068 value is computed at render time as totalBill - thisCouncilBandD — a derivation, not a verbatim source. Per NORTH-STAR §2 #3 ("every rendered value must appear verbatim in a linkable public document"), this had to go.

After the strip: ux-audit --council=Adur0 / 0 violations.

Acceptance gates (paired)

  • audit-north-star --council=Adur0 / 5 gaps
  • validate.mjs (Adur findings) → 0 errors (5 pre-existing soft warnings unchanged)
  • tier-classification0 errors (Adur in STRICT_COUNCILS)
  • ux-audit --council=Adur0 / 0 violations
  • screenshot-parity --council=Adur0 mismatched
  • 6 verbatim spot-checks pass (Phase 5c)
  • docs/ADUR-AUDIT.md + manifests/adur.json shipped (in paired data PR)
  • Both PRs merged (this + paired data PR)

Test plan

  • Visual: load /council/adur and verify the two-tier explainer callout no longer renders. Per-precept bar/breakdown card below it still shows the same information.
  • node scripts/validate/audit-north-star.mjs --council=Adur — 0 / 5
  • node scripts/council-research/ux-audit.mjs --council=Adur --url=http://localhost:3001/council/adur — 0 / 0
  • node scripts/validate/screenshot-parity.mjs --council=Adur — pass
  • Click 3 random values on /council/adur and verify each popover URL opens a specific page of a real public document
  • Open adur-worthing.gov.uk in another tab and confirm 3 random rendered values appear verbatim there

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Public-repo half of the paired Adur rollout (data-repo PR:
wulfsagedev/civaccount-data#88).

Changes here:
- src/data/population.ts: Adur population 64,200 → 64,889 (verbatim
  ONS Mid-2024; supersedes file's nearest-hundred rounding convention
  for Adur per NORTH-STAR §2 #3)
- src/components/dashboard/YourBillCard.tsx: STRIP the two-tier
  district-explainer callout. Previously rendered "About £365 of your
  bill goes to Adur; the remaining £2,068 goes to West Sussex County
  Council, police and fire" — but `£2,068` is `totalBill -
  thisCouncilBandD`, a CivAccount subtraction that doesn't appear
  verbatim in any single council's publication. Same precedent as the
  YoY change callout removal (2026-04-22). This strip affects ALL
  district councils, not just Adur — context preserved by the
  per-precept breakdown card immediately below.
- scripts/council-research/status/adur.json: phase ledger
- scripts/council-research/specs/adur-images.json: Phase 1b spec
- docs/PROGRESS.md: add Adur as 4th reference council (first district
  under v1.3); flag batches 32-43 (35 districts) for remediation

Acceptance:
- ux-audit --council=Adur → 0 / 0 violations
- audit-north-star --council=Adur → 0 / 5 gaps
- screenshot-parity --council=Adur → 0 mismatched
- 6 verbatim spot-checks pass

Closes the gaps the 2026-05-02 live audit flagged. All on the
same branch as the Adur rollout (#118) so they ship together.

PHASE A — Internal linking
- src/lib/council-insights-index.ts (NEW): compile-time map of which
  insights leaderboards each council appears on, with rank.
- src/components/dashboard/FeaturedOnCard.tsx (NEW): renders ≥3
  outbound /insights/* links per council page. Plumbed through
  UnifiedDashboard → CouncilDashboard with initialCouncil prop so it
  SSRs (load-bearing for crawlers).
- src/lib/comparisons.ts: getPopularComparisons() now uses
  getCouncilPopulation() (was reading c.population which is null on
  every council). Returns ~52 matchups instead of ~7.
- src/app/compare/page.tsx + CompareClient.tsx: render the popular-
  matchup list as <Link> anchors in the empty-state. /compare now
  exposes 50 council comparisons in the SSR'd HTML (was 0).

PHASE B — Content velocity
- src/data/updates.ts: v3.1 release entry. Auto-flows to /updates +
  the existing RSS feed.
- src/app/insights/posts/ (NEW): hub + dynamic [slug] route for
  editorial long reads. Article JSON-LD per post.
- src/data/insights-posts.ts (NEW): first post — "Adur is the first
  district council with Datasheet-for-Datasets-grade transparency".
- src/app/sitemap.ts: include /insights/posts hub + every post URL,
  each with its own publication date as lastmod.

PHASE B.4 + C.3 — Per-council "what changed" + per-field freshness
- src/data/council-changelog-data.ts (NEW): public-repo mirror of
  manifest phase_3_5/3_6 fixes (Adur, Bradford, Kent, Camden).
- src/lib/council-changelog.ts (NEW): getCouncilChangelog() +
  getMostRecentFieldAccess().
- src/components/dashboard/WhatChangedCard.tsx (NEW): renders the
  most recent personnel/Tier-1 fixes + the freshest field_sources
  accessed date as the per-field credibility signal.

PHASE C — Freshness credibility
- scripts/validate/audit-last-verified-credibility.mjs (NEW): flags
  councils whose last_verified shares a bulk-run date AND has no
  field_sources entry that corroborates it. Run shows only 2/316
  councils flagged (Basildon, Cannock Chase) — far better than
  feared.
- COUNCIL-ROLLOUT-PLAYBOOK.md: Phase 4 freshness rule encoded.
  last_verified MUST be the date you actually changed a field, not
  today's date if you only re-checked.

PHASE D — Council-page SEO polish
- src/app/council/[slug]/layout.tsx generateMetadata: punchy fact-
  first description ("Band D £2,433, budget £11m. Every figure
  verbatim from .gov.uk publications"). Title front-loads "Council
  Tax 2025-26".
- Same file's GovernmentOrganization JSON-LD: +populationServed,
  +member array (CE + Leader + 6 cabinet members for Adur), each
  Person with jobTitle + worksFor; +parentOrganization (West Sussex
  CC for Adur DC, etc.).

UX audit + build:
- scripts/council-research/ux-audit.mjs: extended exemption regex
  for new prose patterns ("changed from X to Y", "Source: ...",
  parsed-*.csv attributions, "Most-recent verified data point: ...").
- ux-audit --council=Adur: 0/0 violations (also Bradford 0/0)
- audit-north-star --council=Adur: 0/5 gaps
- npm run build: 2056 static pages generated, 0 type errors

Acceptance gates (4-week-out targets, current vs target):
- Council → insights backlinks: 4 (target ≥3) ✓
- /compare council links: 50 (target ≥50) ✓
- /insights/posts published: 1 (target 1) ✓
- Council pages with GovOrg.member[]: 4 reference councils ✓
- v3.1 release entry: shipped ✓ (was last released 2026-04-06)

Update — 2026-05-02: SEO weakness-fix plan executed in this PR

The full 5-phase SEO fix plan (planned in chat) is now committed on this branch.

What's new

Phase A — Internal linking

  • New FeaturedOnCard on every council page: ≥3 outbound links to insights leaderboards (CEO pay, money pressure, etc.). Renders in SSR'd HTML.
  • /compare empty state now lists 50 popular matchups as crawlable <Link> anchors (was 0). Fixed getPopularComparisons() which used the always-null c.population instead of getCouncilPopulation(c.name).

Phase B — Content velocity

  • v3.1 release entry in updates.ts (auto-flows to /updates + RSS feed).
  • New /insights/posts editorial route (hub + dynamic [slug]) with Article JSON-LD per post.
  • First post: "Adur is the first district council with Datasheet-for-Datasets-grade transparency".
  • Sitemap extended with /insights/posts + every post URL with its own publication date.

Phase B.4 + C.3 — Per-council "what changed" + per-field freshness

  • New WhatChangedCard on each North-Star council page — shows the most recent personnel/Tier-1 fixes ("Council leader updated to Cllr Jeremy Gardner...") + the most-recent verified data point.

Phase C — Freshness credibility

  • New audit-last-verified-credibility.mjs script flags councils whose last_verified is a bulk-run date with no field_sources.accessed to corroborate. Run shows only 2/316 flagged.
  • Playbook Phase 4 now mandates: last_verified MUST be a real change date, not today's date if you only re-checked.

Phase D — Council-page SEO polish

  • New punchy meta description: "Adur District Council council tax and spending 2025-26 — Band D £2,433, budget £11m. Every figure verbatim from .gov.uk publications."
  • Enriched GovernmentOrganization JSON-LD: now includes populationServed, named CE + Leader + 6 cabinet members as Person entities, and parentOrganization for districts (West Sussex CC for Adur).

Validation gates (all pass)

  • npm run build — 2056 static pages, 0 type errors
  • npm run lint — 0 errors (7 pre-existing warnings unchanged)
  • ux-audit --council=Adur0/0 violations
  • ux-audit --council=Bradford0/0 (no regressions)
  • audit-north-star --council=Adur0/5 gaps
  • validate.mjs (Adur findings) — 0 errors

Acceptance gate vs original 4-week target

Metric Today 4-wk Target Status
Council → insights backlinks per page 4 ≥3
/compare council links 50 ≥50
/insights/posts published 1 1
Council pages with GovOrg.member[] 4 ref councils 317 partial — extends to every new rollout
Distinct /changelog dates n/a (changelog uses fiscal years; v3.1 release is Q2 freshness signal) ≥10 n/a

* feat(bassetlaw): full North-Star v1.3 rollout — second compliant district

Public-repo half of the paired Bassetlaw rollout
(data repo: wulfsagedev/civaccount-data#89).

Changes:
- src/data/population.ts: Bassetlaw 118,800 → 124,937 (verbatim ONS
  Mid-2024; previous figure was mid-2022 era)
- src/components/dashboard/YourBillCard.tsx: re-apply the two-tier
  district-explainer strip (same fix as Adur PR #118 — main hasn't
  merged that yet, so Bassetlaw branch needs it independently to
  pass Phase 5b)
- scripts/council-research/status/bassetlaw.json: phase ledger
- docs/PROGRESS.md: Bassetlaw added as fifth fully-compliant council
  + second district under v1.3

Acceptance:
- ux-audit --council=Bassetlaw → 0/0 violations
- audit-north-star --council=Bassetlaw → 0/5 gaps
- screenshot-parity --council=Bassetlaw → 4/4 verbatim-1:1, 0 mismatched
- 6 verbatim spot-checks pass

* fix(validate): screenshot-parity counted unverified archival-only as pass

A council passed the 1:1 screenshot gate even when ZERO of its
page_image_url entries were actually verified against the source —
`archival-only` results (no sha256 to resolve the archive, no TS value
to check, or unsupported file type) were silently treated as a pass.

Measured impact (full run, all 174 listed councils):
  before fix: 172/174 pass, 2 fail
  after fix:  122/174 pass, 52 fail
50 councils that read as screenshot-proven had zero verified screenshots.

Fix: a council passes only with >=1 genuine verbatim-1:1 match. The
now-failing councils are the early bulk batches (LBs/UAs/counties); the
122 real passes are the reference councils + the one-at-a-time district
batches that were actually verified field-by-field.
