Summary

  • Gate /alternatives/<slug> footer links in pm-venue-section.tsx and perp-venue-section.tsx on loadAlternativeSlugs() membership — kills 14 dead 404s (lighter, manifold, vertex, grvt, ostium, variational, pacifica, aevo, edgex, paradex, extended, myriad, limitless, aster)
  • Pre-resolve every COMPARE_PAIRS entry via getProvider() in compare/page.tsx and skip pairs where either side is unresolved — kills jupiter-vs-raydium from the rendered list + JSON-LD

Test plan

  • CI green
  • Spot check /perps and /pm footers — only resolvable alternatives links visible
  • Spot check /compare — no jupiter-vs-raydium card

…cing (follow-up A) (#741)

Completes PR #732 (sample-health system) by surfacing the computed
dataConfidence/sampleHealth/expectedN to users + machine-readable
consumers. Was dead-code on the data layer until this PR.

UI (ledger-table.tsx):
- Filter rows tagged 'insufficient' out of the sorted ranking.
- 'Low sample' pill on rows with dataConfidence='low' + tooltip
  showing the actual sample-health ratio ('45% of expected').

APIs:
- /api/citable: returns expectedN + dataConfidence per row. When
  bench-wide aggregate is 'insufficient', returns value=null +
  leader=null (refuses to crown a leader from undersized samples).
- /api/stat/[slug]: same treatment + drops 'insufficient' rows
  from the machine-readable ranking array. Per-row sampleHealth +
  dataConfidence exposed for downstream tooling.

Library (citation.ts):
- citationCandidates() drops 'insufficient' rows from the leader
  candidate set.
- fieldValue/leader/headlineSentence return null/'insufficient
  data' when bench-wide is insufficient.
- isInsufficient() helper preserved from main (used by hub cards +
  /api/citable hot path).

Effect: bench pages where YAML declares expected_n now visually
communicate sample confidence; agents/journalists hitting the
citable API can't accidentally quote a leader drawn from 3 data
points; the methodology page's 'n >= 1000' claim becomes honest.

…dCategory (D.2) (#743)

Final cherry-pick from dev-archive — adds 7 new SEO-indexable hub
pages (one per benchmark category) that target long-tail queries
like 'best crypto aggregator benchmarks 2026'.

D.2 was deferred from PR D because the BenchmarkCard ↔ MiniChart ↔
BenchmarkCardData type chain had cascading TS errors. Follow-up A
(citation.ts isInsufficient → InsufficientCheckInput structural
subset) silently fixed those, so this lands cleanly now.

Files:
- src/app/benchmarks/category/[cat]/page.tsx (new) — server route
  that renders BenchmarkGrid pre-filtered to one category + breadcrumb
  + ItemList JSON-LD. generateStaticParams builds the 7 hub routes
  from CATEGORIES. Each page is fully indexable (canonical, OG, etc.).
- src/components/benchmark-grid.tsx (updated) — adds two optional
  props (lockedCategory, allCategories). Backward compatible: when
  unset the grid behaves exactly as before (used on /benchmarks).
  When set (category hub routes), the grid pre-filters and shows the
  full category pill list so users can hop between hubs.

URLs that ship after deploy:
- /benchmarks/category/aggregators
- /benchmarks/category/bridges
- /benchmarks/category/blockchains
- /benchmarks/category/trading
- /benchmarks/category/wallets
- /benchmarks/category/rpcs
- /benchmarks/category/nft-apis

Each renders the canonical bench grid filtered to that category with
its own H1, meta description, and structured data. Sitemap pickup
automatic on next regen.

…dead compare pair

Two SEO regressions feeding 404s into Google's crawl:

1. /products/<slug> for perp/PM venues without an alternatives YAML
   (lighter, manifold, vertex, grvt, ostium, variational, pacifica,
   aevo, edgex, paradex, extended, myriad, limitless, aster) hardcoded
   a /alternatives/<slug> footer link in PmVenueSection and
   PerpVenueSection. Now gated on loadAlternativeSlugs() membership so
   only venues with an actual YAML emit the link.

2. /compare hub rendered jupiter-vs-raydium even though raydium has
   no bench appearances, so /compare/jupiter-vs-raydium 404s
   downstream. Pre-filter COMPARE_PAIRS against getProvider() so dead
   pairs disappear from the list and the JSON-LD ItemList until both
   sides resolve.

Plus a defensive guard in buildAlternativesReverseMap() so the
emitted alt.slug is always a known live YAML, even if the alt list
source ever changes shape.

PR #749 stopped /compare from rendering pairs where either provider
is unresolved (e.g. jupiter-vs-raydium), but the search index built
in buildSearchIndex iterated COMPARE_PAIRS directly. Ahrefs crawls
the embedded JSON and flagged /compare → /compare/jupiter-vs-raydium
as a dead internal link.

Same getProvider() probe as /compare/page.tsx, so the two surfaces
stay in lockstep.
