From faab2e052eefe90dab4acedfa9a50cb34e9ed466 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dichter Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 14:43:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add descriptions to pages that have none These 23 pages have no `description`, `summary` or `subtitle` in their front matter. Most keep their text in nested front matter sections and have an empty body, so there is nothing to derive a description from. Each description here is drawn from text already on the page. No template renders the field on these pages, so the built site is unchanged by this commit alone. The metadata partial reads it for the meta description and for link previews.
