📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SEO context support is added across rendering layers: author reputation and post payout are threaded into renderPostBody/markdown pipeline to determine external link rel attributes; multiple UI components also add rel="nofollow ugc noopener" to external links.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
SEO Context Type & Exports packages/render-helper/src/types/seo-context.interface.ts, packages/render-helper/src/types/index.ts, packages/render-helper/src/index.ts	Adds SeoContext interface (authorReputation, postPayout) and re-exports it from render-helper public types.
Render-helper public API & pipeline packages/render-helper/src/markdown-2-html.ts, packages/render-helper/src/index.ts, packages/render-helper/package.json, packages/render-helper/CHANGELOG.md	Extends markdown2Html signature to accept optional seoContext, threads it through cache keys and exports; package version bumped and changelog updated.
Markdown traversal & link handling packages/render-helper/src/methods/traverse.method.ts, packages/render-helper/src/methods/a.method.ts, packages/render-helper/src/methods/markdown-to-html.method.ts	Propagates seoContext through traversal and markdown-to-HTML; a.method uses seoContext to decide external rel ("noopener" for high-quality content else "nofollow ugc noopener").
Render-helper tests packages/render-helper/src/methods/a.method.spec.ts, packages/render-helper/src/markdown-2-html.spec.ts, packages/render-helper/src/methods/traverse.method.spec.ts	Updates/adds tests to assert new rel attribute behavior and reputation/payout-based rules.
Renderer components (props & forwarding) apps/web/src/features/post-renderer/components/ecency-renderer.tsx, apps/web/src/features/shared/post-content-renderer.tsx	Adds optional seoContext prop to EcencyRenderer and PostContentRenderer and forwards it to renderPostBody with parent domain.
Entry page render paths apps/web/src/app/(dynamicPages)/entry/.../_components/entry-page-content-ssr.tsx, .../entry-page-cross-post-body.tsx, .../entry-page-static-body.tsx, .../redditbot/route.ts	Builds SeoContext (authorReputation via accountReputation(), postPayout) and passes it into renderPostBody calls; applies HTML-escaping for meta values in redditbot route.
External link attribute additions in UI apps/web/src/app/(dynamicPages)/profile/.../profile-card/index.tsx, apps/web/src/app/witnesses/_components/witness-card.tsx, apps/web/src/app/witnesses/_components/witnesses-list.tsx, apps/web/src/features/shared/hiveposh/index.tsx, apps/web/src/app/(dynamicPages)/entry/.../entry-page-content-ssr.tsx	Adds rel="nofollow ugc noopener" (or rel="nofollow noopener" in one entry) to external anchors/Link elements that open externally; minor label text change in witness card.

Poem

🐰 A hop through markup, a nibble of code,
Reputation and payout now lighten the road.
Links wear small tags — follow or not,
Render-helper guides each anchor we spot.
Hooray — quality hops forward, carrot in hand!
