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.

Headless catalog import
tc-helicon, parentmusic-tribe)https://www.tchelicon.com/(input URL washttps://www.tc-helicon.com/, see below)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.comis NXDOMAIN; the apex zone still exists on Cloudflarenameservers but publishes no A, AAAA or CNAME record. Every rung of the fetch
ladder failed on it (WebFetch, curl, and
playwright-fetch.ts, which correctlyexited without launching a browser). This is not an egress problem: the sibling
Music Tribe domains
tcelectronic.com,behringer.comandmusictribe.comall resolve from the same host.
The brand's live site is
https://www.tchelicon.com/(no hyphen), whichserves TC Helicon's own storefront with
og:site_name: TC Helicon. The importwas run against that origin. The pipeline already anticipates the product
origin differing from the input domain (the Shopify
--basenote givesjhspedals.com→jhspedals.info), and the catalog already carried atc-heliconmanufacturer record, so the identity was settled rather thanguessed.
The manufacturer record is corrected in this PR. Its
urlpointed at thedead
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,lifecycleStatusis
nullon all 38 products, and the brand split is not a statement about anyindividual product.
Counts
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, thefeed's own
totalCount: 38). The real product URL is/en/products/{model-code}; the slug form (/en/products/goxlr) returnsHTTP 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

staleness-reportputs these entries inneverVerifiedalong with all 16,783 catalog entries, and inneverPriced,which is deliberate (see Prices).
Deterministic checks
data/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr.yamldata/hardware/tc-helicon-goxlr-wh.yamlBoth 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-imagesrow.Judgement calls a reviewer should check
Switch-3andSwitch-6are filed ashardware, notaccessory.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's13 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,
Rightedge, passiveso no power port. This differs from how the catalog currently files its
other footswitches, so it is a deliberate call, not an oversight.
voice-rack-fxwas re-typed software → hardware. The import brief hadit 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: thepage names connector kinds with no port counts and states no power inlet,
so every port would be invented. Needs
/io-enrichagainst the manual.Status stays
partialfor that reason.type: line, inputs aretype: mic.Measured against the corpus on pedals, vocal processors and multi-effects
with microphones excluded:
line75,mic3. The two actual microphones(
mp-60,mp-85) keeptype: micon their XLR output, because amicrophone's output genuinely is mic level. A first pass that counted
microphones alongside processors appeared to show the opposite.
mic-mechanic-2has 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 thecatalog's battery-only rule.
harmony-singer-2is 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.
detunefor "doubler" / "doubling" is this import's reading of amarketing name, applied consistently across
voicetone-d1,duplicator,perform-v,perform-vg,play-acousticandvoicelive-3-extreme. Ifthe 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/detailsonly.concurrently with distinct model codes and product URLs, so each is its own
entry with no
supersedesbetween them. A reviewer who prefers oneentry per unit can fold the white versions into a
variantsarray.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
partialfor 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-12serves another product's manual. The linked quick-startguide is
QSG_TE_0709-AGI_POWERPLUG 9-12, i.e. TC Electronic model0709-AGI. Its
detailsalso names "Mic Mechanic" among the units this 12Vsupply 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 fourimages are
Image_TH_0509-AAC_GoXLR-AR10-BK_*: registered under thisproduct's own model code (
0509-AAC) but named for a GoXLR AR10 part. Theyare 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

carry
language: null, and GoXLR-WH's Japanese and Chinese guides are bothtagged
language: "en". Locales were resolved from the_JP/_CN/_ES/_FR/_DEfilename suffix in those cases, consistently across the import.rather than extracted:
creatorStory,communityInsight,triberName,sustainability(repairability/recyclable/carbonFootprint) andvideoTestimonials, complete with Unsplash stock photography and a quotereading "This mixer changed everything for my podcast" on vocal pedals.
Prices
No entry carries a price, deliberately. The storefront feed reports
price: 0with an emptypriceDisplayfor all 38 products, so there is noprice 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-2andvoicelive-3-extreme) were dropped manually.dropSiteChromestructurally cannot catch these: it keys on a URL appearingacross three or more distinct products, and the site serves each banner under
its own product's model code, so the spread heuristic never fires.
siteChromeDroppedwas0.The manufacturer logo was not uploaded. The only logo the site offers
(
tchelicon_44bbdef772.png) is a 282x30 wordmark, and the image quality gaterejected it: "shortest side 30px < 48px". The homepage
og:imageis 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
The two
errorrows and the one escalation are the deadtc-helicon.com:robots.txt could not be fetched because the host does not resolve, and
playwright-fetch.tsrefused to launch for the same reason.www.tchelicon.com/robots.txtallows/and disallows/api/,/_next/and
/admin/, with noCrawl-delay. Every product page is under/en/products/, so nothing was dropped. No/api/path was fetched at anypoint, 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 readsas "no robots.txt, everything allowed".
URLs considered: 2under-reports this run. The ledger records therobots.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 honestAureoCatalogBot/1.0User-Agent onevery request and no retry-with-identity-stripped anywhere); the ledger is
simply thinner than the traffic.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to SINGING, a printed bookThe site files it under

Two tooling issues this import surfaced
Both are in the racks repo, so neither is part of this PR.

variants. The catalog declarestranslationson all fourcollections, 48 entries already used it, and this repo's own rule requires
a locale-specific manual to live there rather than in
links, so acorrectly 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
translationsare the result.pnpm validate-urls --changed-only --base mainverifies nothing on agreenfield import.
getChangedFilesrequires--baseto match^[a-f0-9]{7,40}$, so the literalmainis rejected and returns an emptylist; and it runs
git diff <sha> HEAD, which cannot see this import'sfiles because nothing is committed until the final phase. Both failure
modes are silent. The 182 URLs in this diff were checked directly instead
