Pages — Thin Routing Wrappers

Every .astro file here is a thin routing wrapper: imports a template, passes slug + locale. Zero user-facing text. Enforced by pnpm check:text.

STRUCTURE

pages/
├── index.astro              # German homepage (/)
├── [locale]/index.astro    # English homepage (/en/)
├── [slug].astro             # CMS catch-all (pages + legal) — EXCEPTION
├── [locale]/[slug].astro    # English CMS catch-all — EXCEPTION
├── preview/[...path].astro  # SSR Directus preview — EXCEPTION (prerender = false)
├── robots.txt.ts            # API route, non-prerendered
├── 404.astro 500.astro     # Error pages
├── blog/ news/ podcast/ glossar/ webinare/ autoren/ bayern/  # German dynamic routes
├── [locale]/blog/ [locale]/news/ ...  # English dynamic routes
└── *.astro                  # ~40 German static pages (platform, chatbot, faq, etc.)

ROUTING MODEL

German (default): root paths, no prefix — /blog, /glossar, /preise
English: /en/ prefix — /en/blog, /en/glossary, /en/pricing
Physical file duplication: German at root, English under [locale]/
[locale] pages call getStaticPaths() generating only non-default locales (LOCALES.filter(l => l !== DEFAULT_LOCALE) → ["en"])
middleware.ts derives Astro.locals.locale from URL path; global components read it

THREE EXCEPTIONS TO THIN-WRAPPER RULE

[slug].astro / [locale]/[slug].astro — CMS catch-all. Fetches Directus pages collection directly, renders through PageShell/PageMain. Not a thin wrapper.
preview/[...path].astro — SSR preview route (prerender = false). Validates DIRECTUS_PREVIEW_TOKEN, resolves collection/locale from path, renders inline.
robots.txt.ts — API route, non-prerendered, generates robots.txt based on hostname.

WHERE TO LOOK

Task	Location
Add a static page (code-owned)	Create `<slug>.astro` + `[locale]/<slug>.astro` (thin wrappers) + template + `.i18n.ts`
Add a CMS page	Add row in Directus `pages` collection — catch-all resolves it automatically
Dynamic route static paths	`src/utils/paths.ts` — `getStaticPathsDe` / `getStaticPathsEn` / multi-collection variants
Change segment mapping	`src/utils/i18n.ts` `PATH_SEGMENT_MAP` (glossar→glossary, autoren→authors, etc.)

CONVENTIONS

Page files import ONE template from src/components/templates/ and pass slug + locale.
Static pages: 2 files per page (German root + English [locale]/), both thin wrappers.
Dynamic routes: getStaticPathsDe() for German, getStaticPathsEn() for English — both fetch from Directus.
Campaign routes (bayern/, bavaria/): hard-coded slugs in getStaticPaths.
// text-ok on a line allowlists a specific text exception (only for operational text like preview banners).
