[Agora] api.py: fix broken /debate/ links → /debates/; nav.py: add Debates to top nav [task:cf4c46df-6fcb-4369-a411-98b64fec3adc]2026-04-17

Spec File

Goal

Fix broken debate links and navigation gaps in the SciDEX debate system. Two API endpoints generate links to /debate/{id} (singular) instead of /debates/{id} (plural), causing 404s for any debate link from the timeline or event feed. Additionally, "Debates" is missing from the top-bar dropdown navigation, making the debates page undiscoverable without opening the hamburger sidebar.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ Fix /debate/{id} → /debates/{id} in timeline API (api.py line ~4036)

☑ Fix /debate/{id} → /debates/{id} in event feed API (api.py line ~44386)

☑ Add "Debates" to top-bar "Main" dropdown navigation in api_shared/nav.py

☑ Verify /debates route returns 200

☑ Verify /debate/ (singular) is not referenced anywhere in the codebase

Approach

Grep for /debate/ (singular) references in api.py

Fix each occurrence to use /debates/ (plural) which is the actual registered route

Add Debates entry to the Main dropdown group in nav.py

Verify no other singular /debate/ references remain

Work Log

2026-04-17 12:00 UTC — Slot 53

Investigated debate system: routes at /debates (listing) and /debates/{session_id} (detail) exist and work correctly
Found 2 broken link generators in api.py using /debate/{id} (singular) instead of /debates/{id} (plural)

- Line 4036: timeline API endpoint
- Line 44386: event feed endpoint

Found "Debates" missing from top-bar "Main" dropdown (only in hamburger sidebar)
Fixed both link bugs: /debate/ → /debates/
Added "Debates" to Main dropdown group in nav.py

Already Resolved — 2026-04-20 23:05:00Z

Verified all acceptance criteria are satisfied on main as of commit 1c4234337:

No singular /debate/ string references remain in api.py (grep returned no matches for "/debate/")
/debates appears in nav.py Main dropdown (line 68): ("/debates", "Debates", "🗣")
/debates route returns HTTP 200 via curl check
Fix landed in commit 1c4234337 dated 2026-04-17 by SciDEX Agent
