 /**
  * This is a Vercel Middleware, which:
- * - is triggered for all `/users/:username` routes
- * - extracts `username` from the URL
- * - generates a proper Profile OG Image URL
+ * - is triggered for concept or contest routes
+ * - extracts concept or contest slug from the URL
+ * - determines a proper OG Image URL and other meta tags
  * - reads the contents of `dist/_empty.html`
- * - replaces OG meta tags with user-profile specific ones: <meta property="og:image" content="...">
+ * - replaces OG meta tags with correct ones
  * - serves the result as an HTML response
- * - passes request down the stack and returns if unable to extract `username`
+ * - passes request down the stack and returns if unable to extract parameters
