Product Description

Every marketing URL on connect.dimagi.com renders the same home.html, which carries one hardcoded <head>. app.js corrects it in the browser, but link unfurlers (LinkedIn, Slack, X, iMessage) never run JavaScript. Sharing a page today gives every link the home page's title, description, and image:

title      Connect by Dimagi
og:image   .../images/field-photos/join-hero.jpg   ← 404s, missing /static/
canonical  https://connect.dimagi.com/

Head tags are now per-route and rendered server-side. The broken og:image path is fixed and the five blog posts carry their own covers.

Three posts also link back to their original dimagi.com post; since dimagi.com now 301s those URLs to Connect, those links just send the reader back to the page they're already on. Those lines are removed.

Technical Summary

prelogin/route_meta.py is the single source of truth for title, description, canonical, og:type and image. HomeView resolves the request path against it; home.html renders the tags and serializes the same table into a json_script block that app.js parses for in-page navigation, replacing its own copy (about 100 lines). An unknown path canonicalizes to /, matching what the router renders.

Cache-buster bumped to v=8. route_meta.py added to ruff's per-file-ignores for E501, since its title/description strings have to stay on one line to stay greppable against the rendered <head>.

This promotes dimagi-internal/connect-labs#1424, already verified and deployed on labs, into this repo per docs/prelogin-marketing-site.md (labs is staging; this repo is the source of truth for connect.dimagi.com).

Safety Assurance

New tests cover the server-rendered head, the unknown-path fallback, and that every referenced image is a real static file (TestRouteMeta in commcare_connect/prelogin/tests/test_views.py). ruff check and ruff format --check pass on the changed Python files, and node --check passes on app.js. I could not run the full pytest suite locally in this environment (no Docker/PostGIS available) — please confirm CI is green before merging.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Every marketing URL renders the same home.html, and until now that template
carried one hardcoded <head>. app.js corrected it in the browser, but link
unfurlers (LinkedIn, Slack, X, iMessage) and non-rendering crawlers never run
JavaScript, so every shared page previewed as the home page: home title, home
description, home image.

prelogin/route_meta.py becomes the single source of truth for title,
description, canonical, og:type, and social image. HomeView resolves the
request path against it and home.html renders the tags from that. The same
table is serialized into a json_script block that app.js parses for in-page
navigation, so the client no longer keeps its own copy and the two cannot
drift. That deletes about 100 lines of duplicated table from app.js.

Fixes two things along the way. The site-wide og:image pointed at
/images/field-photos/join-hero.jpg, which 404s: it was missing the /static/
prefix, so every share of this site had a broken preview image. It now goes
through {% static %}, and the five blog posts carry their own covers.
applyRouteMeta also never touched og:image at all, so a post shared after an
in-page navigation still showed the home photo.

An unknown path canonicalizes to "/" rather than to itself, matching what the
router actually renders. Also drops three blog posts' back-links to their
dimagi.com originals, which now 301 to this same page.

Asset cache-buster bumped to v=8. route_meta.py added to ruff's E501
per-file-ignores, like the other files holding long content strings.

Promotes dimagi-internal/connect-labs#1424 from labs to production.

Walkthrough

The change centralizes marketing route metadata in route_meta.py. HomeView renders route-specific server-side head metadata and provides the route table to app.js. The client parses this table and updates title and social metadata during routing. Tests cover normalization, fallbacks, blog metadata, static images, and client table injection. Asset versions and the Ruff configuration were updated.

no-unused-vars requires an ignored caught error to be named exactly `_`
(see eslint.config.js). Rename the JSON.parse guard's catch binding.

npm audit fix, no direct-dependency or config changes: browserslist,
brace-expansion, dompurify, fast-uri, js-yaml, nanoid, and
postcss-selector-parser all move to patched versions already permitted by
existing semver ranges. Verified `npm audit` reports 0 vulnerabilities and
the production webpack build still succeeds.

uv lock --upgrade-package for the 15 packages pip-audit flagged (aiohttp,
click, certifi, cryptography, djangorestframework, h2, idna, jwcrypto,
pillow, pyjwt, requests, setuptools, sqlparse, tablib, weasyprint). All
satisfied by existing pyproject.toml lower-bound constraints, so no
pyproject.toml changes; none of these are imported directly by app code
(only pulled in transitively by allauth, requests, boto3, etc).

3.18.0 changes the validation error shape for list-serializer bulk updates
(a list of per-item error dicts becomes something TestWorkAreaBulkUpdateView
no longer recognizes) and broke 4 pytest cases in CI. 3.17.2 already carries
the pip-audit fix for CVE-2026-73228/73229, so pin there instead of 3.18.0
and cap until someone adapts the affected call sites/tests on purpose.

this includes a lot of changes to dependencies that I suspect are unnecessary (given that it doesn't use most of the changed libraries). can you try to limit the changes to just the pages, and not any of the dependency files (the lockfiles and pyproject). The tests are also unnecessary, but no real fight if you or claude want to leave them

The pip-audit/npm-audit dependency updates (djangorestframework cap,
transitive Python/JS bumps) got swept into this branch but aren't used
by the marketing page changes. Per Cal's review, dropping pyproject.toml/
uv.lock/package-lock.json back to main's state and keeping only the
prelogin page changes plus the ruff per-file-ignores addition for
route_meta.py.

@calellowitz me (and Claude) did the following:

  • Reverted the three unrelated dependency-bump commits' file changes: uv.lock and package-lock.json are back to main's state,
    and the djangorestframework<3.18 version cap in pyproject.toml is removed.
  • Kept the [tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores] addition for route_meta.py in pyproject.toml, since that's actually needed for
    the feature (long title/description strings).
  • Left the tests in test_views.py.
  • Verified ruff check, ruff format --check, and eslint all pass on the remaining changes; couldn't run the full pytest suite
    locally (no Docker/PostGIS here, same limitation noted in the original PR description).
  • Pushed the commit (cacf955) to the fork remote — the PR diff now shows only the 8 page-related files, no lockfiles.

Can you review again?
