Remove commented-out Azure Blob Storage dead code

[Copilot]

The codebase contained leftover Azure Blob Storage references in create_media (socialmedia/views.py) — fully commented out and never executed. The project has no Azure dependencies and deploys on GCP App Engine.

Changes

• siteapps/socialmedia/views.py — stripped the following dead code from create_media:
  • BlobServiceClient init with AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME / DefaultAzureCredential
  • blob_service_client.get_blob_client(container=AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME, ...)
  • blob_client.upload_blob(...)
  • file_cloud_path=blob_client.url assignment (commented as "Azure blob disabled")
  • _ = "MP4" if is_video else "JPEG" — existed solely to compute the blob file extension

Before:

def create_media(media_bytes, content_hash, request, is_video=False):
    _ = "MP4" if is_video else "JPEG"

    # blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(
    # account_url=f"https://{settings.AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME}.blob.core.windows.net/",
    # credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
    # )
    # blob_client = blob_service_client.get_blob_client(
    # container=settings.AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME, blob=f"{content_hash}.{file_extension}"
    # )
    # blob_client.upload_blob(media_bytes, blob_type="BlockBlob")

    return Media.objects.create(
        content_hash=content_hash,
        uploaded_by=request.user,
        is_video=is_video,
        # file_cloud_path=blob_client.url,  # Azure blob disabled
    )

After:

def create_media(media_bytes, content_hash, request, is_video=False):
    return Media.objects.create(
        content_hash=content_hash,
        uploaded_by=request.user,
        is_video=is_video,
    )

Pull request overview

Removes long-commented Azure Blob Storage upload code from the socialmedia app’s create_media helper, aligning the web frontend with its current GCP App Engine deployment and eliminating unused, misleading legacy scaffolding.

Changes:

• Deleted commented Azure Blob Storage client initialization and upload snippets from create_media.
• Removed a now-pointless media-extension computation that only supported the commented Azure path.
• Simplified the Media.objects.create(...) call by removing the commented file_cloud_path assignment.
