Smoke Test Article: Build Verification Only

By Matt Moffat MLIBF CeMAP CeRER | Managing Director | Mortgage One Published 4 May 2026

This article exists only to verify that the build pipeline works. It will be deleted before the news section goes live.

What This Verifies

The smoke test confirms that the content collection schema accepts the frontmatter, the article router generates the right URL, the layout renders the header and footer, the compliance wrapper applies the regulatory text from the central constants file, and the internal linking map can be referenced from frontmatter.

How to Remove

Delete this file from /content/news/, commit, and push. Vercel will rebuild and the article will no longer appear in the news index, the sitemap, or the RSS feed.

Sample Body

This paragraph mimics typical article body length so visual balance can be checked. It contains a deliberately ordinary sentence about market mechanics. Then a second short sentence. The lead paragraph above is intentionally longer to demonstrate the lead style.
