# ⚠️ CRITICAL: blog_routes.py File Corruption

**Status:** The automated editing tool has corrupted `blog_routes.py` by duplicating hundreds of lines of code.

## Immediate Recovery Steps

### Step 1: Revert the File
```bash
cd /home/bishal-regmi/Desktop/AI\ Learning\ Project\ sell/skill_darbar_home/ashlya_academy/skilldarbar_api
git checkout HEAD -- routes/blog_routes.py
```

### Step 2: Apply Manual Fixes

After reverting, make these 4 simple changes:

#### Fix 1: `get_all_blogs()` (around line 387-391)
**Find:**
```python
return format_api_response(
    data={'blogs': blogs},
    message="Blogs retrieved successfully",
    include_legacy_fields=True  # Legacy: return array directly
)
```

**Replace with:**
```python
return format_api_response(
    data=blogs,
    message="Blogs retrieved successfully"
)
```

#### Fix 2: `get_categories()` (around line 603)
**Find:**
```python
return format_api_response(categories)
```

**Replace with:**
```python
return format_api_response(
    data=categories,
    message="Categories retrieved successfully"
)
```

#### Fix 3: `get_popular_tags()` (around line 646)
**Find:**
```python
return format_api_response(popular_tags)
```

**Replace with:**
```python
return format_api_response(
    data=popular_tags,
    message="Popular tags retrieved successfully"
)
```

#### Fix 4: `get_trending_posts()` (around line 729)
**Find:**
```python
return format_api_response(trending_posts)
```

**Replace with:**
```python
return format_api_response(
    data=trending_posts,
    message="Trending posts retrieved successfully"
)
```

## Why This Fixes The Errors

1. **`'bool' object is not iterable`**: This error occurred because `include_legacy_fields=True` was passed to `format_api_response()`, which then tries to do `dict.update(True)`, which is invalid.

2. **`Cannot encrypt non-Response object: <class 'dict'>`**: This warning appears when `format_api_response()` is called incorrectly. The fix ensures proper parameter usage: `format_api_response(data=..., message=...)`

3. **`include_legacy_fields` parameter**: This should ONLY be used with dict responses (like `get_blog_by_id`) where you want to merge fields into the root. For list endpoints, DO NOT use it.

## Expected Result After Fixes

All blog endpoints will return:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "...",
  "data": [...]  // or {...} for single items
}
```

The Next.js app's `extractApiData()` utility will extract the `data` field automatically.
