Template — do not publish (S5 placeholder)
This page is a placeholder used to verify content hub infrastructure during Session 5. It is not real content.

What this is
This MDX file is a placeholder. It exists for one reason: to confirm that the content hub built in Session 5 actually works end-to-end. Every plumbing question — does Zod validate, does the catch-all route resolve, do the four JSON-LD types emit, does the canonical override correctly point at this URL — gets answered by rendering this file and checking the output.
Why it stays on-voice
Placeholder content is still content. If a casual visitor stumbled across this URL during pre-launch, the worst outcome would be reading something that broke the founder voice we care about (PRD §9). Lorem ipsum would do exactly that. A short on-voice stub is cheaper than a credibility hit.
What gets verified
The plumbing this file proves out:
- Frontmatter validates against the Zod schema in
lib/content.ts. - The catch-all at
app/guides/[...slug]/page.tsxresolves a global guide. - The per-guide canonical override points at
/guides/_template, not/. - Article, BreadcrumbList, Speakable, and FAQPage JSON-LD all emit.
- The sitemap dynamically includes this URL with the correct
lastmod.
What does NOT get verified here
Design polish (Session 6), real content (Session 8), and indexability (Session 7)
are explicitly out of scope. This file ships under INDEXABLE=false and stays
unstyled. The _ prefix on the slug is the placeholder marker.
When this file disappears
Session 8 ships the first real flagship at content/guides/singapore/h1b1-visa.mdx.
Around that time, this template and its Singapore counterpart get deleted or
replaced. If you find yourself reading this in production, something has gone
sideways — please report it.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this guide exist?
It exists to verify that the Session 5 content hub renders MDX, validates frontmatter, emits the right schema markup, and routes correctly. It is not real content. It will be deleted or replaced when the H-1B1 flagship lands in Session 8.
Should I link to it from anywhere?
No. The leading underscore in the slug is the convention for placeholders that should never be linked from anything user-facing. The site's robots.txt also disallows crawlers while INDEXABLE=false.
