fix(rebuild-content): fetch topic-clusters/featured-topics/topics-gallery/tags so homepage bands bake fresh - #2081
Merged

…lery/tags before Hugo bake The content rebuild only fetched a subset of build:all's feed chain (tutorials, advocates, homepage-shelves, verb/shelf-definitions), so the page-index BLOB was baked from the STALE committed data files. The homepage 'Explore' topic-clusters band rendered tutorials-only because the committed hugo/data/topic_clusters.json had empty items[] since 2026-07-25 and no rebuild path ever regenerated it. Add the four missing fetchers so every rebuild bakes from live backend data. Also refresh the committed topic_clusters.json snapshot (mixed items from the prod backend).

/Explore topic-clusters band renders tutorials-only on PROD. Root cause:/is a CAPpage-indexBLOB (cds-cached) baked from the committedhugo/data/topic_clusters.json, which has had emptyitems[]since 2026-07-25. The band renderer falls back to a tutorials-only list whenitems[]is empty.Why it never got fixed by deploys/republishes:
rebuild-content.ymlonly fetches a subset ofbuild:all's feed chain — it was missingfetch-topic-clusters,fetch-featured-topics,fetch-topics-gallery,fetch-tags— so every content rebuild re-baked the page BLOB from the stale committed files. The fresh mixed data a localbuild:allproduces only ever reached approuter static, which/doesn't serve.Fix
rebuild-content.yml(mirroringbuild:all), each against the target env's srv, so the page BLOB bakes from live backend data in every mode. Durable — the file can't rot again.hugo/data/topic_clusters.jsonsnapshot (now mixed: tutorial/mission/group/learning-journey/sample/help-doc/discovery-mission) so the immediate bake is correct.After merge
Re-run
rebuild-content.yml env=prod mode=full; thepage-indexBLOB will bake mixed clusters. Bust thepage-indexcache tag if needed. Verified: PROD backend/build/topic-clustersalready returns mixed items (7-8/cluster).
