Merge plan

Refresh of an existing brand: 64 Drumforge entries were already in the catalog
(15 software, 49 content), and 63 of them were reconciled against the current
storefront. No new entries were created, nothing was deleted, and every
existing id is byte-identical to main.

Discovery was pre-staged (Shopify, 76 products), so the run enriched the
pre-extracted envelopes rather than re-crawling.

⚠️ Read this first: two decisions the automation made against the heuristic

1. Prices were deliberately NOT updated. The merge heuristic auto-resolved
61 price changes under "prefer extracted (default trust)", and those were
reverted before commit. Evidence that the current storefront prices are
promotional rather than list:

  • drumforge.com is currently serving a sticky sitewide promo banner and a
    "Sale" nav section.
  • All 76 SKUs have compare_at_price above price in products.json.
  • Three unrelated Drum Vault products with different prior list prices
    (99, 99, 79) all collapse to an identical, non-round $54.50.
  • 54 of the 61 would-be changes were downward.

Rule 7 of the import contract is "regular prices only, ignore sales", so the
existing prices stand. They are, however, known stale: 49 of 64 match
neither today's price nor today's compare_at_price. Refreshing them
properly is a follow-up that should run when no promotion is live, or should
take compare_at_price as list. Not something this unattended lane should
decide.

2. primaryCategory on Kickforge was reverted (drum-machine
virtual-instrument → back to drum-machine). The change is arguably more
accurate, since the entry's own details open "Kickforge is a virtual instrument
audio plugin", but it would have made Kickforge the only Drumforge instrument
off drum-machine (Bergstrand, Classic, Matt Greiner and Savior all keep it).
A taxonomy move that silently reclassifies an entry is a human call, so main's
value stands. Flip it if you disagree — that is a one-line change.

Buckets

Bucket Count
new 0
updated 63 (of which 9 have field conflicts)
discontinued 0 applied (1 matched, already tagged)
unchanged 0

Auto-resolved by heuristic: 285 fields, of which 271 were applied by the
apply script (it skips type, images, categories, links,
manufacturer by design) and 61 price fields were then reverted by hand as
described above.

What actually changed

Field Files Note
specs 63 refreshed, then boilerplate stripped (see below)
details 62 refreshed from current product pages
description 57 refreshed from current product pages
videos 50 provider: youtube removed per convention; +6 new videos
compatibleWith 11 added host references, all resolve to real software files
formats 1 David Bendeth gains standalone

id, name, url and manufacturer lines: zero changes across the whole
diff. All 63 files are M; nothing added, deleted or renamed.

Auto-resolved — verify these before merging

Every applied field took the extracted value under the default-trust rule.
Note that merge-plan.json records only the incoming value for auto-resolved
fields, not the value being replaced, so the before/after is not readable from
the plan file alone — read the diff.

The description/details rewrites are largely lateral: same facts, different
phrasing. They are the bulk of the diff and the least valuable part of it. Two
representative examples:

  • drumforge-arcus.yaml — "Arcus is an ambient envelope shaping audio
    processing plugin featuring SyncBand ADSR technology…" became "Arcus is an
    ambient envelope shaping plugin built on SyncBand ADSR Technology…"
  • drumforge-cyber-metal-volume-i-…yaml — gained the content-type breakdown
    ("drums, atmospheres, impacts, FX, loops, risers"), a genuine improvement.

Real improvements worth keeping: drumforge-drumshotz-andrew-wade.yaml had a
nonsense spec (48-bit and 24-bit WAV format) now corrected to
48 kHz, 24-bit; 11 packs gained compatibleWith.

Conflicts requiring human review (9, none applied)

Seven are description fields where the incoming text was under half the
length of the existing text, so the short-extraction guard held them back. In
every case the existing description is the richer one and was kept. No
action needed unless you disagree:

drumshotz-carson-slovak-grant-mcfarland-matt-greiner, drumshotz-daniel-braunstein,
drumshotz-joel-wanasek-no-small-time-edition, drumshotz-joel-wanasek-one-liners,
drumshotz-trap, drumshotz-treehouse, and drumshotz-heavy-hitterz (details).

Two are name fields, held back because name is on the identity blacklist.
Both incoming values are legitimate W130 hygiene fixes (dash-separated category
descriptors), so these are worth applying by hand:

  • data/content/drumforge-drumshotz-lance-prenc-warehouse-kit.yaml
    • existing: Drumshotz Lance Prenc - Warehouse Kit
    • extracted: Drumshotz Lance Prenc Warehouse Kit
  • data/content/drumforge-inferno-production-sample-pack.yaml
    • existing: Inferno - Production Sample Pack
    • extracted: Inferno

Data review

  • Mode: sampled (63 changed entries, 31 deep-read across both collections),
    plus deterministic checks over all 63.
  • Four analysis agents ran: schema/data quality, filename & ID integrity,
    translation audit, structural conventions.
  • Auto-fixes applied this run:
    • Removed 57 boilerplate specs lines across 15 software files
      OS-requirement lines restating platforms, supported-DAW lists, and
      licence/user-manual lines. Baseline for comparison: 9% of sampled
      non-Drumforge software entries carry these patterns, against 100% of
      Drumforge's before this cleanup. RAM, disk-space and Apple Silicon lines
      were kept, being real specs.
    • Fixed a W126 warning this PR would otherwise have introduced. Adding
      standalone to David Bendeth's formats made its pre-existing specs line
      - VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone formats a full restatement, tripping the
      rule for the first time. The line is gone; the formats addition stays.
    • Restored 10 video title values the merge had dropped. provider: youtube was correctly removed (catalog CLAUDE.md: "Omit for YouTube") and
      is now applied uniformly across all 42 affected video entries rather than
      half the brand.
    • Normalised 27 second-person/vendor-voice specs lines, e.g. "For use
      with your favorite triggering program or in any DAW" → "For use with any
      triggering program or DAW" (10 files), and rewrote Kickforge's seven lines
      of marketing copy into neutral spec voice. Also repaired regressions the
      refresh had introduced: a lost kHz unit, - 2 four tom set, and
      Title-Cased sample counts.
  • Remaining notes, not fixed here:
    • Pre-existing duplicate. drumforge-drumforge-djent-grooves-vol-1.yaml
      and drumforge-drumforge-djent-metal-grooves-vol-1.yaml are both named
      "Djent Grooves: Vol. 1" and share one URL; the former is already tagged
      discontinued: true and is the single Drumforge entry this PR does not
      touch. The survivor should be the -metal- one (its stem matches the live
      URL handle). Deleting the other needs a human: this command cannot delete
      YAML, and dropping an id is breaking for any setup referencing it.
    • Two content entries advertising TCI files (drum-vault-tom-arsenal,
      drumshotz-treehouse) could take
      compatibleWith: [steven-slate-audio-slate-trigger] as
      drum-vault-eyal-levi now does. Left off because their pages do not name
      the host outright.
    • No Drumforge entry carries identifiers, and none carries translations.
      Both are pre-existing and normal for the brand's neighbours.
  • pnpm validate: PASS, zero warnings catalog-wide.
  • pnpm build: PASS, 12,661 products.
  • All 63 canonical URLs verified against the live product list.
    (validate-urls --changed-only --base main reports 0 files at this point in
    the pipeline, since nothing is committed yet, so it was checked directly.)

Bundles excluded (13)

Per import rule 11, bundles and suites are commercial SKUs rather than
installable products and get no entries: the three Mixing bundles, five
producer/artist bundles, three Drumshotz bundles, Mega MIDI Grooves and
No Small Time. Envelopes retained under
scripts/catalog-import/data/drumforge/skipped-bundles/.

    • Added or expanded compatibility references for supported samplers, triggering programs, and DAWs.
    • Replaced outdated purchase, download, support, update, and licensing statements with product-focused information.
    • Added or refined product video references and metadata.
  • Catalog Maintenance
    • Imported updated catalog content while preserving existing product identifiers.

Refresh 63 existing Drumforge entries against the
current storefront: descriptions, details, specs
and videos, plus compatibleWith on 11 packs and
the standalone format on David Bendeth.

boilerplate from specs. Prices left untouched: a
sitewide promotion is live, so current prices are
promotional rather than list.

No new entries, no deletions, all IDs preserved.

This catalog refresh passes the stated validation and build checks, but one product description overstates DAW compatibility by including Serum presets that require Xfer Records Serum; this bounded metadata issue should be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Use US spelling in the changeset, and separate
the WAV and Serum compatibility claims on Cyber
Metal Volume II: the 30 presets require Serum,
so "all usable in any DAW" was wrong.
