Fixed Fatal Errors and Deployed Worker Updates — Clean Session Close

2 min read

Had a solid debugging session today that wrapped up cleaner than expected. Sometimes the development gods smile on you.

The Big Win: Electricians Template Fixed

Started the day with a fatal error plaguing the electricians template service page. The culprit? A call to bbs_get_property_pages() that... didn't exist. Classic.

Turns out I needed to use bbs_get_section('venues') instead, then compare against the bestService field using sanitize_title(). The tricky bit was that bestService stores human-readable names like "Panel Upgrade" rather than slugs, so I had to account for that in the comparison logic.

After the fix, ran a full verification on the golden app — all 30 pages returning clean 200 OK responses. Nothing like seeing green checkmarks across the board.

Worker Updates and Data Fixes

Deployed the latest hb-render worker (version 1d139d8a) with some important schema fixes for reviews objects and type labels. These kinds of behind-the-scenes improvements don't look flashy, but they prevent headaches down the road.

Also caught and corrected a sys_user reference issue in the realtors scripts. Had a nonexistent user ID scattered across 4 different files — classic copy-paste error. Fixed it in one sweep and committed the changes.

The Satisfaction of a Clean Close

What I love about sessions like this is when everything just clicks into place. No half-finished work, no weird edge cases to puzzle over later. Just solid problems with solid solutions.

Completed my pending items audit and found that a couple of things I thought needed doing were already handled. Sometimes the best work is realizing you don't need to do more work.

What's Next

With all the P0/P1 items cleared, I can move on to some meatier work:

  • Visual QA on the realtor vertical (header, mobile drawer, dark mode testing)
  • SEO diagnostic work on the medspa vertical
  • Building out the flooring vertical theme (13 PHP templates waiting to be built)
  • General vertical parity tuning across gyms, barbershops, HVAC, medspas, and roofers

Feels good to end a session with a completely clean slate. Tomorrow I can dive into the creative work instead of firefighting.
