- UI: Add /zxdb hub cards for Entries and Releases; implement Releases browser
with URL‑synced filters (q, year, sort, DL language/machine, file/scheme/source/case, demo)
and a paginated table (Entry ID, Title, Release #, Year).
- API: Add GET /api/zxdb/releases/search (Zod‑validated, Node runtime) supporting
title, year, sort, and downloads‑based filters; return paged JSON.
- Repo: Rewrite searchReleases to Drizzle QB; correct ORDER BY on releases.release_year;
implement EXISTS on downloads using explicit "from downloads as d"; return JSON‑safe rows.
- Schema: Align Drizzle models with ZXDB for releases/downloads; add lookups
availabletypes, currencies, roletypes, and roles relation.
- API (lookups): Add GET /api/zxdb/{availabletypes,currencies,roletypes} for dropdowns.
- Stability: JSON‑clone SSR payloads before passing to Client Components to avoid
RowDataPacket serialization errors.

Why
- Reduce time-to-first-content on ZXDB index pages by eliminating the initial client-side fetch and enabling incremental static regeneration.
What
- Main Explorer (/zxdb):
- Server-renders first page of results and lookup lists (genres, languages, machinetypes) and passes them as initial props.
- Keeps client interactivity for subsequent searches/filters.
- Labels index (/zxdb/labels):
- Server-renders first page of empty search and passes as initial props to skip the first fetch.
- Category lists:
- Genres (/zxdb/genres), Languages (/zxdb/languages), Machine Types (/zxdb/machinetypes) now server-render their lists and export revalidate=3600.
- Refactored list components to accept server-provided items; removed on-mount fetching.
- Links & prefetch:
- Replaced remaining anchors with Next Link to enable prefetch where applicable.
Tech details
- Added revalidate=3600 to the index pages for ISR.
- Updated ZxdbExplorer to accept initial results and initial filter lists; skips first client fetch when initial props are present.
- Updated LabelsSearch to accept initial payload and skip first fetch in default state.
- Updated GenreList, LanguageList, MachineTypeList to be presentational components receiving items from server pages.
Notes
- Low-churn list APIs already emit Cache-Control for CDN; list pages now render instantly from server.
- Further polish (breadcrumbs, facet counts UI) can build on this foundation without reintroducing initial network waits.

Context
- Housekeeping commit to capture all current ZXDB Explorer work before index-page performance optimizations.
Includes
- Server-rendered entry detail page with ISR and parallelized DB queries.
- Node runtime for ZXDB API routes and params validation updates for Next 15.
- ZXDB repository extensions (facets, label queries, category queries).
- Cross-linking and Link-based prefetch across ZXDB UI.
- Cache headers on low-churn list APIs.
Notes
- Follow-up commit will focus specifically on speeding up index pages via SSR initial data and ISR.

This sanity commit wires up the initial ZXDB integration and a minimal UI to explore it.
Key changes:
- Add Zod-based env parsing (`src/env.ts`) validating `ZXDB_URL` as a mysql:// URL (t3.gg style).
- Configure Drizzle ORM with mysql2 connection pool (`src/server/db.ts`) driven by `ZXDB_URL`.
- Define minimal ZXDB schema models (`src/server/schema/zxdb.ts`): `entries` and helper `search_by_titles`.
- Implement repository search with pagination using helper table (`src/server/repo/zxdb.ts`).
- Expose Next.js API route `GET /api/zxdb/search` with Zod query validation and Node runtime (`src/app/api/zxdb/search/route.ts`).
- Create new app section “ZXDB Explorer” at `/zxdb` with search UI, results table, and pagination (`src/app/zxdb/*`).
- Add navbar link to ZXDB (`src/components/Navbar.tsx`).
- Update example.env with readonly-role notes and example `ZXDB_URL`.
- Add drizzle-kit config scaffold (`drizzle.config.ts`).
- Update package.json deps: drizzle-orm, mysql2, zod; devDeps: drizzle-kit. Lockfile updated.
- Extend .gitignore to exclude large ZXDB structure dump.
Notes:
- Ensure ZXDB data and helper tables are loaded (see `ZXDB/scripts/ZXDB_help_search.sql`).
- This commit provides structure-only browsing; future work can enrich schema (authors, labels, publishers) and UI filters.
