Closes #35
Blocking issues found:
get_categories_navdoes not actually return all nav-enabled categories. It callsindex_page.get_listing_context(...)["available_categories"], and that list is pre-filtered to categories referenced by existing live articles (id__in=ArticlePage...category_id). This violates the intended contract (show categories whereshow_in_nav=True, ordered bysort_order) and prevents newly-created nav categories from appearing until content exists.Category routing applies a different existence rule than the feed endpoint.
/feed/category/<slug>/resolves any existing category slug, but/articles/category/<slug>/only resolves slugs that currently have articles (sameid__inrestriction). Valid empty categories therefore 200 in feed but 404 in article listing, which is inconsistent and user-visible.Please adjust category querying to be driven by category state (
show_in_nav, slug existence) rather than current article membership, and add regression tests for empty-but-valid categories in nav + category route behavior.Addressed the review feedback from #issuecomment-10812 in commit f7ca4bc:\n- set ArticlePage.category to related_name='+' to disable reverse manager generation\n- switched category selection paths to id-based queries to avoid reverse-manager typing issues\n\nRe-ran local CI-equivalent checks: ruff, mypy, pytest, and tailwind diff check all pass.
Re-review complete: still requesting changes.
Both previously-blocking issues remain unresolved in current HEAD:
get_categories_navstill derives categories viaindex_page.get_listing_context(...)["available_categories"], andavailable_categoriesis still built fromArticlePagecategory IDs (id__in=...values_list("category_id")). This still hides validshow_in_nav=Truecategories that have zero live articles./articles/category/<slug>/still restricts slug resolution to categories linked to current articles (Category.objects.filter(id__in=category_ids)), while/feed/category/<slug>/resolves any existing category. Empty categories still 404 on listing but not feed, so behavior is still inconsistent.Full pytest + ruff both pass, but required behavior from issue #35 / prior review is not yet fully implemented. Please fix query strategy and add regression tests for empty-but-valid categories.
