Subject: [PATCH] fix: auto-convert stale /content/ permalinks in data cascade
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Posts published between Jan 19 – Feb 6 2026 (pre-beta.37 preset) had
permalink: /content/TYPE/YYYY-MM-DD-SLUG/ in frontmatter. The data
cascade trusted these values, causing Eleventy to generate pages at
/content/ paths instead of canonical URLs. This left 86 posts (including
articles like collecteur-de-flux-rss) returning 404 at their canonical
URLs.

The markdown files were fixed on the server (permalink lines removed),
but this adds a safety net: any remaining or future /content/ permalinks
are auto-converted to /TYPE/YYYY/MM/DD/SLUG/ format.
