+**homepage.json is fetched at deploy time** — the `deploy.yml` workflow SSHes into the server and runs `sudo bastille cmd node cat /usr/local/indiekit/content/.indiekit/homepage.json` before the Eleventy build. This ensures the build always uses the latest admin-saved config. Do not rely on the committed `content/.indiekit/homepage.json` as source of truth; it may be stale.
