Summary

This PR successfully addresses the Google Search Console SEO validation error by adding a fallback chain for the breadcrumb name property and removing the unnecessary item property from the last breadcrumb element.

Changes Review

Line 152: Added fallback chain for breadcrumb name

name: post.title || post.sharedPost?.title || 'Post',

✅ Strengths:

• Correctly fixes the validation error: The fallback chain ensures the name property is always defined, preventing the "Either name or item.name should be specified" error
• Consistent with existing patterns: Uses the same fallback pattern as getSeoDescription() (line 25) in the same file
• Handles shared posts: Includes post.sharedPost?.title which is important for reposted content
• Graceful degradation: Falls back to generic 'Post' if neither title is available

✅ Removing the item property (line 153)

• Correct per schema.org spec: According to Google's documentation, the item property is optional for the last breadcrumb element (since there's nowhere to navigate to)
• Cleaner output: Removes unnecessary data from the JSON-LD

Additional Observations

No issues found - the implementation is solid and follows best practices:

1. Type safety: The optional chaining (post.sharedPost?.title) properly handles potentially undefined values

2. SEO completeness: All three breadcrumb items now have guaranteed name values:

   • Position 1: 'Home' (hardcoded)
   • Position 2: post.source?.name || 'Posts' (already had fallback)
   • Position 3: post.title || post.sharedPost?.title || 'Post' (now has fallback)

3. Testing verification: The PR description indicates testing with Google's Rich Results Test tool ✓

Recommendation

✅ Approve - This is a clean, minimal fix that directly addresses the SEO validation error without over-engineering. The change is well-tested and follows existing code patterns in the file.
