Collections V3 Implementation Summary

Collections v3 is broadly implemented across the Laravel backend, Inertia pages, moderation flows, AI helpers, saved collections, editorial/community discovery surfaces, and scheduled lifecycle publishing.

Implemented areas:

• public collection pages, profile collection tabs, featured/trending/editorial/community/seasonal discovery routes
• collection studio management for metadata, artworks, collaborators, submissions, discussion, smart rules, layout modules, and editorial ownership
• engagement flows for likes, follows, saves, shares, comments, and submissions
• admin moderation and report handling for collections, collection comments, and collection submissions
• AI-assisted curation endpoints for title, summary, cover, grouping, related works, tags, SEO, and smart-rule explanations
• lifecycle scheduling through published_at, unpublished_at, and the collections:sync-lifecycle command

Gap closure completed during this audit pass:

• added campaign banner metadata support with banner_text and spotlight_style
• exposed event_key, season_key, banner_text, and spotlight_style in collection management payloads and UI
• rendered spotlight banner metadata on the public collection hero
• added focused feature coverage for campaign metadata persistence and rendering

Remaining work should be incremental polish rather than foundational implementation.# Collections v3 Implementation Summary
