summary
A production bug where straight versus curly apostrophes breaks author hyperlinks on app but not web leads to a small project that proves a systemic fix: create a schema, centralize transforms/augmentations/rendering, and ship an Apollo GraphQL server returning full JSON plus a shared UI rendering library. A five‑person team works six months, about ten affected authors surface, one upstream pull request fixes the regression across clients, and future byline bugs become one‑place fixes instead of repeated work.
