Reorganizing Editorial Desk category navigation and management

Generating dynamic categories from public articles while safely managing Channel assignments

Activity period:

Purpose

Editorial reports needed thematic discovery without exposing internal Channels publicly, while administrators still needed to manage the relationship between Channels and categories.

Implementation

Manageable categories and Channel assignments were added to the database, with Control Center supporting category editing and required selection for Channels. Public tabs are generated from categories represented by published articles, begin with All, and show used feeds instead of Channel names. Category, cursor, locale validation, and redirects share one implementation.

Managed categories are linked to channels, and public News uses categories as navigation.

What was confirmed

Verification results

Full verification passed with 284 database assertions, 107 TypeScript tests, 67 Web tests, and 38 Swift tests.

Fixtures for three categories and responsive screens in both languages confirmed the flow from management through public filtering.

Basis for completion

The work was complete when category management, Channel assignment, public tabs, and query transitions were implemented and verified as one vertical slice.
