feed.xml sets both force-dynamic and revalidate, so the revalidate never applies

[royalpinto007]

app/feed.xml/route.ts declares both of these at the top of the file:

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";
export const revalidate = 3600;

They contradict each other. force-dynamic opts the route out of caching entirely, so the revalidate = 3600 is dead code and the RSS feed is regenerated from Supabase on every single request, including every poll from every feed reader. The comment-free pairing also reads as if the feed is cached hourly, which it is not.

Pick one and delete the other:

• If the intent was an hourly cached feed, drop dynamic = "force-dynamic" and keep revalidate = 3600.
• If the intent was always-fresh, drop revalidate and keep force-dynamic.

The hourly cache is almost certainly what was meant, given a case has to be approved by a maintainer before it can appear.

Worth checking app/sitemap.ts in the same pass, which also sets export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" and rebuilds from the database on every crawl.

Where to start: app/feed.xml/route.ts, lines 4 and 5. Verify with npm run dev and a request to http://localhost:3000/feed.xml, then run npx prettier --check ., npm run lint, npx tsc --noEmit and npm run build.
