Headless catalog import

  • Manufacturer: TC-Helicon (tc-helicon, parent music-tribe)
  • Source: https://www.tchelicon.com/ (input URL was https://www.tc-helicon.com/, see below)
  • Tier issue: n/a

The input URL is dead, so the brand was followed to its live domain

https://www.tc-helicon.com/ was handed to the import and does not resolve.
www.tc-helicon.com is NXDOMAIN; the apex zone still exists on Cloudflare
nameservers but publishes no A, AAAA or CNAME record. Every rung of the fetch
ladder failed on it (WebFetch, curl, and playwright-fetch.ts, which correctly
exited without launching a browser). This is not an egress problem: the sibling
Music Tribe domains tcelectronic.com, behringer.com and musictribe.com
all resolve from the same host.

The brand's live site is https://www.tchelicon.com/ (no hyphen), which
serves TC Helicon's own storefront with og:site_name: TC Helicon. The import
was run against that origin. The pipeline already anticipates the product
origin differing from the input domain (the Shopify --base note gives
jhspedals.com → jhspedals.info), and the catalog already carried a
tc-helicon manufacturer record, so the identity was settled rather than
guessed.

The manufacturer record is corrected in this PR. Its url pointed at the
dead www.tc-helicon.com, which this import proved unreachable.

TC Helicon's own announcement page states that the vocal product lines
"will be available on the TC Electronic website" while tchelicon.com
"will focus exclusively on gaming and streaming gear". The storefront still
lists the full vocal range, so everything it lists was imported. No entry was
tagged discontinued: no page carries a lifecycle signal, lifecycleStatus
is null on all 38 products, and the brand split is not a statement about any
individual product.

Counts

  • Discovered: 38
  • Extracted (success): 32
  • Extracted (partial / review): 5
  • Skipped (already in catalog): 0
  • Failed: 1
  • Auto-selected images: 110/161
  • Entries written: 37 (31 hardware, 3 software, 3 accessory)
  • io ports modelled: 143
  • Capability claims: 140
  • Entries carrying translations: 20 (de, es, fr, ja, zh — all approved locales)

Discovery note: the sitemap carries only static pages across locales, so the
38 products came from the paginated listing (/en/products?page=1..4, the
feed's own totalCount: 38). The real product URL is
/en/products/{model-code}; the slug form (/en/products/goxlr) returns
HTTP 200 with the title "Product Not Found", a soft 404 that would have been
imported as a real page had it been trusted on status alone.

Confidence flags

  • tc-helicon-voice-jam-studio — confidence.categories = low,
    confidence.description = low. Its page carries no product data at all:
    brand boilerplate plus four "Key Features" that name no feature, format,
    platform or device. Only the manuals are real. Needs the manual read to
    resolve platforms.

Five entries are partial rather than success: fuse, powerplug-12,
stealth-side-mount, voice-jam-studio, voice-rack-fx. Reasons below.

Data review

  • Mode: slim consistency pass (38 entries). 38 changed entries is at or
    under the 40 threshold, so the deterministic checks cover every entry and a
    single agent read all 38 files in full for internal consistency.
  • Auto-fixes applied: 3
    • mic-mechanic-2: dropped a 9V DC power input spec bullet that
      contradicted both the entry's own battery bullet and its deliberately
      power-free io.
    • perform-v, perform-vg: added distortion for the megaphone effect
      named in both details and specs. Every other effect in that same list
      was already mapped, and GoXLR and VoiceTone X1 in this import map
      megaphone the same way.
  • Deterministic checks: pnpm validate (scoped, --strict-unknown-keys, and
    unscoped), pnpm validate:translations, pnpm build, pnpm assign-ids,
    pnpm identifier-coverage, pnpm staleness-report, pnpm dataset:audit
    all pass. dataset:audit flags 100 entries catalog-wide and none of
    them is in this diff. staleness-report puts these entries in
    neverVerified along with all 16,783 catalog entries, and in neverPriced,
    which is deliberate (see Prices).

Deterministic checks

Check File Rule Detail
io-lint data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr.yaml uniform-position all 8 ports share position Right, check against the panel
io-lint data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr-wh.yaml uniform-position all 8 ports share position Right, check against the panel

Both rows were checked rather than waved through: every GoXLR jack is
genuinely on the single rear panel, verified against the manufacturer's own
rear-panel photography. This is the rule firing correctly on a product that
happens to be the shape it warns about, not an unfilled default.

No prose, spelling or coverage rows. Every product kept at least one image, so
there is no no-images row.

Judgement calls a reviewer should check

  1. Switch-3 and Switch-6 are filed as hardware, not accessory.
    Both pages state a 1/4-inch TRS jack the host cable plugs into
    ("BOSS-style 1/4-inch TRS footswitch jacks", "a single TRS cable run to the
    host pedal"), which is ADR-0019 question 1. The accessory schema cannot
    record io, which is precisely the defect ADR-0019 names for the catalog's
    13 existing footswitches ("structurally barred from the setup graph they
    belong in"). The io shape follows one-control-minimal-series-aux-switch,
    the corpus precedent: expression-typed, output flow, Right edge, passive
    so no power port. This differs from how the catalog currently files its
    other footswitches
    , so it is a deliberate call, not an oversight.
  2. voice-rack-fx was re-typed software → hardware. The import brief had
    it as an app; the page describes "one 19-inch unit", a "front panel", and
    "the back panel has ... XLR and 1/4-inch I/O, S/PDIF, MIDI, USB", plus
    "clean preamps" and "converters". It deliberately carries no io: the
    page names connector kinds with no port counts and states no power inlet,
    so every port would be invented. Needs /io-enrich against the manual.
    Status stays partial for that reason.
  3. XLR outputs on the processors are type: line, inputs are type: mic.
    Measured against the corpus on pedals, vocal processors and multi-effects
    with microphones excluded: line 75, mic 3. The two actual microphones
    (mp-60, mp-85) keep type: mic on their XLR output, because a
    microphone's output genuinely is mic level. A first pass that counted
    microphones alongside processors appeared to show the opposite.
  4. mic-mechanic-2 has no power input, on purpose. Its page says
    "Battery-Powered" and names no DC supply, unlike its siblings which spell
    out a 9V supply. An earlier pass had carried a barrel jack across from
    those siblings; it was removed and the battery recorded in specs, per the
    catalog's battery-only rule.
    harmony-singer-2 is the opposite case and keeps both: its page states
    "Battery-Powered" in the tagline and "powered by a standard 9V supply
    ... runs on the same power brick as the rest of your rig" in the body, so
    the battery bullet, the 9V bullet and the barrel port are all page-backed.
  5. detune for "doubler" / "doubling" is this import's reading of a
    marketing name, applied consistently across voicetone-d1, duplicator,
    perform-v, perform-vg, play-acoustic and voicelive-3-extreme. If
    the catalog models a vocal doubler differently, it is one pass to change.
    "Megaphone", "transducer", "BodyRez" and "Smart Sense" have no vocabulary
    value and are left in specs/details only.
  6. GoXLR / GoXLR-WH and GoXLR Mini / Mini-WH are colourway pairs, sold
    concurrently with distinct model codes and product URLs, so each is its own
    entry with no supersedes between them. A reviewer who prefers one
    entry per unit can fold the white versions into a variants array.

Manufacturer-data problems found on the source

These are defects in TC Helicon's own pages, recorded so nobody re-derives them:

  • fuse: the page copy describes a different product. Its prose claims
    "One XLR input with phantom power for any condenser microphone" and a
    rack-style broadcast interface. FUSE has neither an XLR nor phantom power —
    its quick-start guide lists four jacks (USB, CONSOLE, HEADPHONE/HEADSET,
    AUXILIARY MIC) and the maker's own panel photos agree. That paragraph was
    discarded and the entry built from the quick-start guide; status partial
    for that reason alone.
  • voicetone-h1: the tagline contradicts the body. The site calls it
    "Realistic Guitar Controlled Vocal Harmony", but every body paragraph
    describes key-set harmony ("Tell the pedal what key your song is in") and no
    guitar input appears anywhere on the page. The entry follows the body copy
    and has no guitar io. The real H1 is a key/scale pedal, so the tagline looks
    recycled from Harmony Singer.
  • powerplug-12 serves another product's manual. The linked quick-start
    guide is QSG_TE_0709-AGI_POWERPLUG 9-12, i.e. TC Electronic model
    0709-AGI. Its details also names "Mic Mechanic" among the units this 12V
    supply serves, while Mic Mechanic 2 is a 9V/battery pedal, so that mention
    probably belongs to the PowerPlug 9. Left as written, flagged here.
  • stealth-side-mount: image filenames name a different product. All four
    images are Image_TH_0509-AAC_GoXLR-AR10-BK_*: registered under this
    product's own model code (0509-AAC) but named for a GoXLR AR10 part. They
    are unique to this entry, so the authoritative key matches while the name
    points elsewhere. Kept rather than dropped, because the model-code match
    is real evidence and dropping guarantees no image, but worth one look.
    The entry also describes a mount for the Aston Stealth microphone, a sibling
    Music Tribe brand, under manufacturer: tc-helicon; the url is a genuine
    tchelicon.com product page, so the attribution is believed correct.
  • Four manual links return HTTP 500 and were dropped. All on
    cdn.mediavalet.com (Music Tribe's DAM), verified twice and with a
    Referer: the VoiceLive 3 Extreme French manual and the VoiceLive Play
    English, Spanish and French manuals. A broken manual link is worse than
    none. VoiceLive Play consequently keeps only its quick-start guide and the
    VoiceSupport 2 packages. The other 178 URLs in this diff were checked and
    resolve.
  • Locale codes in the feed are unreliable. Several quick-start guides
    carry language: null, and GoXLR-WH's Japanese and Chinese guides are both
    tagged language: "en". Locales were resolved from the _JP/_CN/_ES/
    _FR/_DE filename suffix in those cases, consistently across the import.
  • Every product page carries the same template filler, which was excluded
    rather than extracted: creatorStory, communityInsight, triberName,
    sustainability (repairability/recyclable/carbonFootprint) and
    videoTestimonials, complete with Unsplash stock photography and a quote
    reading "This mixer changed everything for my podcast" on vocal pedals.

Prices

No entry carries a price, deliberately. The storefront feed reports
price: 0 with an empty priceDisplay for all 38 products, so there is no
price data to import. Per this repo's rule a zero amount is a positive claim
that a product is free, which suppresses purchase links and distorts the
G.A.S. spend ratio, so absent prices are correct here.

Images

110 of 161 candidate images were auto-selected (quality gate plus the top-3
cap) and 110 uploaded to R2. Every one of the 37 products kept at least
one image.

Four site web-banner images (desktop and mobile crops on goxlr-mini,
harmony-singer-2 and voicelive-3-extreme) were dropped manually.
dropSiteChrome structurally cannot catch these: it keys on a URL appearing
across three or more distinct products, and the site serves each banner under
its own product's model code, so the spread heuristic never fires.
siteChromeDropped was 0.

The manufacturer logo was not uploaded. The only logo the site offers
(tchelicon_44bbdef772.png) is a 282x30 wordmark, and the image quality gate
rejected it: "shortest side 30px < 48px". The homepage og:image is a generic
"Empower Tribe" hero rather than a brand mark, and no logo was previously
served for this manufacturer, so nothing was overwritten and no better source
exists on the site. The manufacturer remains without a logo, as before this
import.

Robots

Metric Value
Hosts crawled 2
robots.txt: ok 1 (rules fetched and applied)
robots.txt: error 2 (transport failure, allowed and flagged)
URLs considered 2
Dropped by robots 0 (0.0%)
Browser escalations 1

The two error rows and the one escalation are the dead tc-helicon.com:
robots.txt could not be fetched because the host does not resolve, and
playwright-fetch.ts refused to launch for the same reason.

www.tchelicon.com/robots.txt allows / and disallows /api/, /_next/
and /admin/, with no Crawl-delay. Every product page is under
/en/products/, so nothing was dropped. No /api/ path was fetched at any
point
, which also meant the site's image-proxy URLs were excluded from image
candidates. The two asset hosts (cdn-media.empowertribe.com,
cdn.mediavalet.com) return 404 and 400 for robots.txt, which RFC 9309 reads
as "no robots.txt, everything allowed".

URLs considered: 2 under-reports this run. The ledger records the
robots.txt loads and the two gate decisions, but the 38 product-page fetches
went through a one-off deterministic extractor that does not call the
recorder, so the per-fetch rows are absent. The crawl itself was compliant
(robots was loaded and evaluated for the origin before any product request,
against CRAWLER_TOKEN, with the honest AureoCatalogBot/1.0 User-Agent on
every request and no retry-with-identity-stripped anywhere); the ledger is
simply thinner than the traffic.

Deferred (1 URL)

Reason Count Note
out-of-scope 1 THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to SINGING, a printed book

The site files it under voice-processors--merchandise--books. The catalog has
no category for a book and no collection axis it fits, so it was not forced
into accessory.

Machine-readable list at
scripts/catalog-import/data/tc-helicon/deferred.json. Run
/catalog-import-followup tc-helicon to import these after any blockers are
resolved.

Two tooling issues this import surfaced

Both are in the racks repo, so neither is part of this PR.

  1. gen-yaml-from-extracted.ts silently dropped every translations
    block.
    The field was absent from all four ORDER arrays and from the
    generator body — the same both-layers bug the file's own test comments
    record for variants. The catalog declares translations on all four
    collections, 48 entries already used it, and this repo's own rule requires
    a locale-specific manual to live there rather than in links, so a
    correctly routed Japanese quick-start guide was being written nowhere at
    all. Fixed, with tests covering both layers; the 20 entries in this PR that
    carry translations are the result.
  2. pnpm validate-urls --changed-only --base main verifies nothing on a
    greenfield import.
    getChangedFiles requires --base to match
    ^[a-f0-9]{7,40}$, so the literal main is rejected and returns an empty
    list; and it runs git diff <sha> HEAD, which cannot see this import's
    files because nothing is committed until the final phase. Both failure
    modes are silent. The 182 URLs in this diff were checked directly instead
    (178 resolve, 4 dropped as above).

Resume / debug

Per-product extraction state lives at
scripts/catalog-import/data/tc-helicon/import-state.json in the racks repo
until the tier-runner cleans it up. The readable text of every page used is at
scripts/catalog-import/data/tc-helicon/pages/{slug}.txt, so a price or spec
can be verified offline without refetching.

Auto-merge gate: batched human review (10 PRs at a time).

Inline comments:
Review comments at @data/accessories/tc-helicon-stealth-side-mount.yaml:
- Line 3: Update the manufacturer attribution for the Stealth Side Mount entry
from tc-helicon to Aston’s existing manufacturer slug so catalog searches and
listings identify Aston as the maker.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-ditto-mic-looper.yaml:
- Line 17: Update the Ditto Mic Looper’s details and description to distinguish
the LOOP footswitch from the separate STOP footswitch. Describe LOOP as handling
recording, overdubbing, and playback, and STOP as stopping or clearing the loop;
do not imply LOOP stops playback.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-go-vocal.yaml:
- Line 25: Update the Go Vocal details and specs to remove the bus-powered claim
and state that the device requires one 9 V battery; keep the power requirement
consistent in both entries.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr-mini-wh.yaml:
- Line 2: Move each white-finish record into the corresponding black product’s
variants array: update data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr-mini-wh.yaml at lines 2-2
to add the white finish to the GoXLR Mini entry’s variants, and
data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr-wh.yaml at lines 2-2 to add it to the GoXLR
entry’s variants. Remove the duplicate top-level product records; do not
represent these cosmetic differences as versions.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-harmony-singer-2.yaml:
- Around line 64-71: Add a separate micro-USB I/O entry to the Harmony Singer 2
`io` list for firmware updates; keep the existing power input entry unchanged
and represent the USB port as its own physical connection.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-harmony-v60.yaml:
- Line 116: Remove the `Internal Speaker` entry identified by `EBshYWlI` from
the hardware `io` list, keeping the speaker documented in `description` and
`specs`.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-mic-mechanic-2.yaml:
- Line 38: Update the Mic Mechanic 2 hardware entry: replace the inaccurate
battery-powered spec with wording that reflects both 9 V DC supply and
four-AA-battery operation, and add a barrel power-input entry to `io` with
`maxConnections: 1` and `position: Right`.

Review comments at @data/hardware/tc-helicon-voicelive-play.yaml:
- Around line 56-63: Update the VoiceLive Play I/O records to match the
documented physical jacks: remove the MIDI input and add separate entries for
left and right XLR outputs, Switch-3 input, aux input, headphone output, and
USB. Correct the MIDI claim in the device’s details and specs to state that it
has no 5-pin MIDI input, and keep one entry per physical jack.

/resolve-catalog-pr started

Polling CodeRabbit, max 4 cycles. Will not merge or enable auto-merge.

Cycle 1 of /resolve-catalog-pr.

Drop the Internal Speaker io entry on
harmony-v60 (not a physical jack).

Align capabilities with declared
categories so the derive-capabilities
floor test passes.

Cycle 1

Reviewed SHA cb03b0fe. 8 unresolved CodeRabbit threads, all Major/Minor (no nits outstanding).

Every finding was validated against the saved source page text this import crawled
(scripts/catalog-import/data/tc-helicon/pages/*.txt) before being applied or declined.

Applied (1)

  • data/hardware/tc-helicon-harmony-v60.yaml:116 — removed the Internal Speaker io entry. Not a physical jack, same class as the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and storage-slot exclusions, and no other entry in data/ models a built-in driver as a port.

Declined (7), each with a reply on its thread

  • tc-helicon-stealth-side-mount.yaml:3 — re-attribute to Aston: the saved page is a TC Helicon page and names Aston only as compatibility.
  • tc-helicon-ditto-mic-looper.yaml:17 — separate STOP footswitch: page says "One footswitch records, overdubs, plays, and stops your loop."
  • tc-helicon-go-vocal.yaml:25 — 9 V battery: page says "bus-powered operation"; entry already states that in specs.
  • tc-helicon-goxlr-mini-wh.yaml:2 — collapse white finishes into variants: inverts the convention cited; distinct model numbers and SKUs require top-level entries.
  • tc-helicon-harmony-singer-2.yaml:71 — micro-USB port: not mentioned anywhere in the saved page text.
  • tc-helicon-mic-mechanic-2.yaml:38 — DC power input: page says "Battery-Powered" only; entry already complies via specs.
  • tc-helicon-voicelive-play.yaml:63 — remove MIDI, add six jacks: page explicitly says "MIDI in"; the claimed replacements have zero matches.

Also fixed (CI, in scope)

The validate check was red on a cause introduced by this PR, not by CodeRabbit:
scripts/__tests__/derive-capabilities.test.ts requires every entry's capabilities to
cover the floor its categories imply. Six entries fell below it. Resolved per entry against
each product's own page text rather than by blanket-adding the capability:

  • added pitch-shift to duplicator (octave-up/down voices) and voicetone-h1 (diatonic harmony voices)
  • removed the mis-assigned pitch category from critical-mass, voicetone-c1 and voicetone-d1 (unison doubling and pitch correction, no transposition)
  • removed the mis-assigned lo-fi category from voicetone-x1 (analogue-voiced gain, no bit-depth or sample-rate reduction)

Local gate: green — lint, test (699 passed), typecheck, validate,
validate:translations, generate:schemas diff, format:check, id-immutability,
build 0, and validate-urls --changed-only (178 URLs, 0 broken).

Pushed 053503d62.

/resolve-catalog-pr final: halted-ci-unrelated

Cycles: 1. Applied: 1. Declined with a reply: 7. Plus 6 in-scope CI fixes.

CodeRabbit: all 8 threads handled and resolved, 0 unresolved. No re-review arrived on
053503d62 within the 8-minute budget, so the second cycle had nothing to process.

CI state: validate passes, audit fails. Both are required contexts
(ruleset 11289515), so the PR is unmergeable until audit is dealt with.

The audit failure is not caused by this PR.

Evidence it is repo-wide rather than PR-specific:

  • this PR changes no dependency files (git diff main...HEAD -- package.json pnpm-lock.yaml is empty), so its lockfile is main's;
  • pnpm audit --audit-level=high reproduces the same single advisory against that lockfile locally;
  • the last Validate run on main (347c2988f, 2026-10-03) had audit green, so the advisory was published after it, which is the time-based failure mode validate.yml documents in its own comment above the audit job: "pnpm audit goes red when an advisory is published upstream, with no change to this repo."

The fix is a dependency bump (source-map-js >=1.2.2, reachable via a pnpm.overrides
entry or a vitest/vite update). That touches package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml, which
are outside this PR's diff, so this pass left them alone rather than widening an import PR
into a dependency PR.

What a human needs to do: land the source-map-js bump on main (it unblocks every open
catalog PR, not just this one), then re-run audit here. Nothing else is outstanding.

Work done this run (pushed as 053503d62)

Applied, 1 of 8 CodeRabbit findings:

  • tc-helicon-harmony-v60.yaml — removed the Internal Speaker io entry (not a physical jack).

Declined, 7, each with a reply on its own thread. Every one was checked against the saved
source page text this import crawled, and each was declined because that text either
contradicted the finding or never mentioned it: the Aston re-attribution, the Ditto STOP
footswitch, the Go Vocal 9 V battery, the GoXLR white-finish variants collapse, the Harmony
Singer 2 micro-USB port, the Mic Mechanic 2 DC input, and the VoiceLive Play I/O rebuild.

In-scope CI fix: derive-capabilities.test.ts requires each entry's capabilities to cover
the floor its categories imply, and six entries fell below it. Resolved per entry against
each product's own page text: pitch-shift added to duplicator and voicetone-h1, and the
mis-assigned pitch / lo-fi categories removed from critical-mass, voicetone-c1,
voicetone-d1 and voicetone-x1.

Local gate green throughout: lint, test (699 passed), typecheck, validate,
validate:translations, generate:schemas diff, format:check, id-immutability, build 0,
validate-urls --changed-only (178 URLs, 0 broken, 1 redirect on the manufacturer homepage).

Left for human batched merge — NOT auto-merged.
