Industry Solutions Directory & 301 Redirect Architecture

Shipped in v4.9.380, this release establishes `/industries` as the canonical industry directory for Cora, migrating all legacy /use-cases endpoints with 301 redirect parity while deploying 10+ dedicated operational blueprints.

1. Canonical /industries Migration & 301 Parity

To elevate enterprise positioning and consolidate search authority, the directory URL structure was overhauled:

• Canonical Slug Structure: All solution hubs now reside under /industries/[slug] (e.g. /industries/real-estate, /industries/photography-studio).
• 301 Permanent Redirect Parity: Server-level .htaccess rules and Next.js route mapping enforce immediate 301 redirects from /use-cases and /use-cases/* to /industries, preventing 404 errors and preserving 100% SEO link equity.
• Internal Link Audit: All internal navigation links, buttons, footer anchors, and sitemaps were synchronized to use the new /industries namespace.

2. Desktop Mega-Menu & Mobile Drawer Parity

The primary navigation (Navbar.tsx) features a redesigned high-density Industries Mega-Menu:

• Multi-Column Visual Grid: Categorizes solutions into logical clusters with dedicated vector SVG icon tiles and subtle category pill badges.
• Active-Voice Microcopy: Replaces vague marketing jargon with clear, active-voice descriptions (e.g. "Geocoded property listings & WhatsApp showing alerts" instead of "Real estate solutions").
• Zero Heavy Outlines: Adheres strictly to Rule 13, utilizing soft tonal background transitions (hover:bg-zinc-100 dark:hover:bg-zinc-800/60) rather than high-contrast border strokes.
• Mobile Drawer Synchronization: Replicates all 10+ industry verticals within the responsive mobile navigation sheet with bottom-padded clearance (pb-28).
