Testing Link Post Flow

Quick verification checklist

1. Check post status in dashboard

Open: http://localhost:4000/dashboard
Find "Cow" post
Status should show "published" (green badge)
Should also show "Link" badge (blue)
If status is "draft", click "Publish"

2. Test API-v1 is returning the new fields

Run this in a terminal (with a valid JWT token from the app):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" http://localhost:3200/blog-posts

Expected response should include for the Cow post:

{
  "id": "52d09d04-1b01-459b-bb54-4f59c303912a",
  "title": "Cow",
  "contentType": "link",  // NEW FIELD
  "externalUrl": "https://yourfamilyfarmer.com/blog/...",  // NEW FIELD
  "status": "published",
  ...
}

If contentType and externalUrl are missing, api-v1 wasn't restarted after the code changes.

3. Android app checklist

For the Android app to show the link post:

Post status is published (not draft)
api-v1 is running with the updated code (returns contentType, externalUrl)
Android app was rebuilt after the BlogPost model was changed (added contentType, externalUrl fields)
Android app opened the "Blogs" tab

4. If still not working

Check logcat from Android Studio:

adb logcat | grep -i "blog"

Look for:

"Successfully fetched N blog posts"
Any deserialization errors (would mean the model doesn't match the API response)
"Blog post not found" or 404 errors

5. Quick debug: Check what the API returns

Without auth, check if the post exists:

# From blog-editor backend (may need auth token):
curl http://localhost:5001/api/posts/slug/cow-1770673121207

# From api-v1 (needs auth):
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" http://localhost:3200/blog-posts/slug/cow-1770673121207

Should return the full post with content_type: "link" and external_url: "https://...".
