📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates the site for Zola 0.23, adds pull-request preview builds, converts template macros to components, updates template expressions, and normalizes content and release metadata.

Changes

Zola 0.23 migration and preview build

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preview and deployment workflows .github/workflows/zola-deploy.yml, .github/workflows/zola-preview.yml	The deployment action is upgraded. A preview workflow builds site content, uploads an artifact, and optionally publishes a hosted preview.
Macro-to-component migration templates/macros/*, templates/command*.html, templates/docs*.html, templates/client*.html, templates/topics-list.html, templates/components.html	Command, documentation, client, and YouTube helpers use component or shortcode syntax. Callers use direct configuration paths and updated helper names.
Template expression and safety updates templates/atom.xml, templates/blog.html, templates/community.html, templates/default.html, templates/download.html, templates/index.html, templates/includes/head.html, templates/release-section.html, templates/events.html	Templates use Zola 0.23-compatible list, slice, matching, and key-iteration syntax. Undefined values receive guards. Feed dates use explicit formatting.
Content and release metadata normalization content/authors/_index.md, content/blog/*, content/download/releases/*	The Authors page gains title sorting. Blog shortcode and raw-text syntax is updated. Release packages fields use explicit empty lists.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective	Addressed	Explanation
Build the site with Zola 0.23 [#663]	✅
Move templates away from macros or otherwise support the Zola 0.23 templating change [#663]	✅

Out-of-scope changes

Code Change	Explanation
Authors page title sorting (content/authors/_index.md:5)	The linked issue concerns Zola 0.23 build compatibility. It does not define an Authors page ordering requirement.
Blog content syntax changes (content/blog/2024-11-21-testing-the-limits/index.md:212-215, content/blog/whats-new-june-2024.md:28-44)	These changes alter blog content syntax, but the linked issue does not specify blog content updates.
Release packages metadata normalization (content/download/releases/*.md:18)	The linked issue does not specify release metadata changes.
Events and participant template block removal (templates/events.html:3-6, templates/participants.html:3-2)	The linked issue does not specify removal of these page blocks.

Zola 0.23 / Tera v2 migration: line-by-line change description

Overview

This document is a code-review companion to the Zola 0.22 to 0.23 (Tera v1 to Tera v2) migration on branch migrate-zola-0.23. It walks the committed diff file by file, pairing each change with the Tera v2 or Zola 0.23 behavior that forced it and the reason the change preserves the rendered output. It complements the high-level design in zola-0.23-migration.md, which explains the strategy and rationale; this document is the granular per-file walkthrough. Read it alongside the PR diff. The reference for what Tera changed is the Tera v1 to v2 migration guide, and the release itself is described in the Zola 0.23.0 changelog.

The branch has eight commits. Every commit carries a Signed-off-by trailer (DCO), a Generated-by: Kiro (AI agent) trailer, and a Review-status: Not yet finely reviewed by a human trailer, so the AI provenance and review state travel with the history.

• aff8456 refactor(templates): convert Tera macros to components for Zola 0.23. Rewrites the two macro files (macros/command.html, macros/docs.html) as component definitions, renames shortcodes/youtube.html to components.html, and defines the youtube component.
• 357c723 refactor(templates): update component call sites and list building. Updates the consuming templates that called those macros (command-page.html, command-list.html, commands.html, docs.html, docs-page.html, topics-list.html, client-feature-table.html, client-list.html): component call syntax, inlined path builders, keys | first, spread accumulation, and the explicit ordering pins.
• 33999fd fix(templates): adapt standalone templates to Tera v2 semantics. Covers the templates that do not use the macros but still hit Tera v2 changes (index.html, download.html, blog.html, community.html, release-section.html, events.html, participants.html, default.html, includes/head.html, atom.xml).
• 366ed6a fix(content): adapt content to Tera v2 and stricter YAML. Content-side fixes: the 35 release front-matter packages: [] edits, the youtube shortcode call sites, the {% raw %} guard around Docker templating, and the authors sort_by.
• 84a9959 ci: bump zola-deploy-action to v0.23.6. One-line version pin bump in the deploy workflow.
• 07140ce docs: add Zola 0.23 / Tera v2 migration design doc. Adds docs/design/zola-0.23-migration.md.
• cea05a8 ci: add preview workflow for PR builds. Adds .github/workflows/zola-preview.yml.
• (this commit) docs: add line-by-line change description for the migration. Adds this file, docs/design/zola-0.23-migration-changes.md.

Note on hashes: signing off rewrote the commits, so these are the post-sign-off hashes. This document's own commit hash is not listed because it is created by the same commit that finalizes this text. Two behavior changes in this branch are intentional (author ordering and command group ordering); both are called out explicitly near the end. Everything else preserves the rendered HTML.

Component definitions

templates/shortcodes/youtube.html renamed to templates/components.html

The file moves from templates/shortcodes/youtube.html to templates/components.html, and its markup is wrapped in a component declaration. Before, the file was a bare shortcode body:

<div {% if class %}class="{{class}}"{% endif %}>
    <iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{{id}}..."></iframe>
</div>

After, the same markup is enclosed in a component with an explicit argument signature:

{% component youtube(id, class="", playlist="", autoplay=false) %}
<div {% if class %}class="{{class}}"{% endif %}>
    <iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{{id}}..."></iframe>
</div>
{% endcomponent youtube %}

Why: Zola 0.23 removes the old shortcode mechanism (the templates/shortcodes/ directory). Reusable render fragments are now components, defined with {% component name(args) %}...{% endcomponent name %} and registered globally. The default argument values (class="", playlist="", autoplay=false) reproduce the shortcode's previous optional-parameter behavior, so a call that supplies only id renders exactly as before. The <iframe> markup is byte-for-byte identical.

templates/macros/command.html

Four structural changes.

1. arguments_parse converts from a macro to a component, and its recursive self-call changes form. Before:

{%- macro arguments_parse(argument_array, separator="") -%}
    ...
    {%- set next = self::arguments_parse(argument_array=arguments.arguments, separator="|") -%}
    ...
{%- endmacro arguments_parse -%}

After:

{% component arguments_parse(argument_array, separator="") %}
    ...
    {%- set next %}{{< arguments_parse argument_array={arguments.arguments} separator="|" />}}{% endset -%}
    ...
{% endcomponent arguments_parse %}

Why: Tera v2 removes macros. The recursion is preserved because components register globally and can call themselves by name; self::arguments_parse(...) becomes the component call {{< arguments_parse ... />}}. Because a component renders output rather than returning a value, the recursive result is captured with a set-capture block ({% set next %}...{% endset %}) instead of the old value assignment. The loop body, the bracket/separator logic, and the emitted syntax strings are unchanged, so the rendered command syntax lines match.

2. command_obj_name macro is deleted. It previously looped a command JSON map to capture the single top-level key into a global:

{%- macro command_obj_name(command_data) -%}
    {%- for command, command_obj in command_data -%}
        {% set_global command_obj_name = command %}
    {%- endfor -%}
{{ command_obj_name }}
{%- endmacro command_obj_name -%}

Why: the macro form is invalid in v2, and the indirection is unnecessary. Call sites now read command_data | keys | first inline (see the consuming templates). The value produced (the command name) is identical for a single-key object.

3. The four path-builder macros (command_search_json_path, command_json_path, command_bloom_json_path, command_json_json_path) are deleted. Each returned one concatenated string, for example {{config.extra.command_json_path }}{{ slug }}.json.

Why: these were consumed inside array literals at their call sites, and a v2 component call cannot produce a value inside an array literal (set-capture is a statement, not an expression). The concatenation is inlined at each call site as config.extra.command_json_path ~ page.slug ~ ".json". The config.toml [extra] path values are untouched, so the assembled paths are identical.

4. fix_links converts to a component renamed fix_links_command, and every backtick-delimited regex literal becomes a double-quoted string with doubled backslashes. Before:

{%- macro fix_links(content) -%}
{{ content
    | regex_replace(pattern=`\]\(\.\./topics/(?P<fname>.*?).md#(?P<hash>.*?)\)`, rep=`](/topics/$fname#$hash)`)
    ...
    | safe }}
{%- endmacro fix_links -%}

After:

{% component fix_links_command(content) %}
{{ content
    | regex_replace(pattern="\\]\\(\\.\\./topics/(?P<fname>.*?).md#(?P<hash>.*?)\\)", rep="](/topics/$fname#$hash)")
    ...
    | safe }}
{% endcomponent fix_links_command %}

Why: Tera v2 removes backtick string literals, so each pattern is rewritten as a double-quoted string with each regex backslash escaped as \\. The rename to fix_links_command disambiguates it from the docs-side link fixer (fix_links_docs in macros/docs.html), which is a different regex chain; under global component registration two components cannot share the name fix_links. The regex semantics are unchanged: \] in a backtick literal and \\] in a double-quoted literal both compile to the same pattern, so the same links are rewritten the same way.

templates/macros/docs.html

Six macros convert to components, with three carrying substantive behavior notes.

1. load becomes a component and its parameter list changes. Before it read the topic path and exceptions from config internally:

{%- macro load(slug) -%}
{%- set topic_path = config.extra.doc_topic_path -%}
{%- if slug in config.extra.slug_source_exceptions -%}
    {%- set slug = config.extra.slug_source_exceptions[slug] -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- set markdown_content = load_data(path= topic_path ~ "/" ~ slug ~ ".md", required= false) -%}
{%- if markdown_content -%}{{ markdown_content }}{% endif %}
{% endmacro load_doc %}

After, topic_path and exceptions are explicit component arguments, and the emitted content gains | safe:

{% component load(slug, topic_path, exceptions) %}
{%- if slug in exceptions -%}
    {%- set slug = exceptions[slug] -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- set markdown_content = load_data(path= topic_path ~ "/" ~ slug ~ ".md", required= false) -%}
{%- if markdown_content -%}{{ markdown_content | safe }}{% endif %}
{% endcomponent load %}

Why: the parameters are passed in from the call sites (topic_path={config.extra.doc_topic_path}, exceptions={config.extra.slug_source_exceptions}) rather than read from global config inside the component; the config values are the same, so the resolved path is the same. The | safe keeps the loaded Markdown from being HTML-escaped when captured, matching the raw text the macro previously produced.

2. extract_frontmatter becomes a component and gains a YAML-indent normalization step. The split-and-detect logic is unchanged, but one line is added before the frontmatter is emitted:

{%- set frontmatter = frontmatter | regex_replace(pattern="(?m)^ (\\S)", rep="$1") -%}
{%- if before_frontmatter_length == 0 -%}{{frontmatter | safe}}{%- endif -%}

Why: Zola 0.23 ships a stricter YAML parser that rejects a top-level key indented by a single space (this occurs in valkey-doc/topics/key-specs.md). The regex strips exactly one leading space before a top-level key (^ (\S) in multiline mode) and leaves deeper indents (two or more spaces) intact, so nested structure is preserved and only the offending single-space indentation is corrected. The | safe preserves the raw frontmatter text as before.

3. extract_markdown becomes a component and switches from the removed slice filter to native slicing. Before:

{{ content | split(pat="---") | slice(start=2) | join(sep="---") }}

After:

{%- set parts = content | split(pat="---") -%}
{{ parts[2:] | join(sep="---") | safe }}

Why: Tera v2 removes the slice filter and adds native array slicing. Splitting into parts first and taking parts[2:] reproduces slice(start=2) exactly (elements from index 2 to the end), and re-joining on --- yields the same Markdown body. | safe preserves the raw text.

4. fix_links becomes a component renamed fix_links_docs, with the same backtick-to-double-quote regex rewrite described for command.html. This is the longer, docs-specific chain (topic and command link rewrites, image path rewrites, reference-link cleanups). One representative line:

| regex_replace(pattern="\\]\\((?P<fname>.*?).png\\)", rep="](/topics/$fname.png)")

A trailing | safe is added at the end of the chain. Why: same as fix_links_command; the rename avoids a global name collision and the escaped patterns are semantically identical to the backtick versions, so the same link and image rewrites happen.

5. client_json_path macro is deleted. It returned config.extra.client_json_path ~ client_path. Why: consumed inside load_data(...) argument positions at call sites, it is inlined there as config.extra.client_json_path ~ path. Same resolved path.

6. boolean_to_checkmark and format_language convert from macros to components with their bodies unchanged:

{% component boolean_to_checkmark(value) %}
    {% if value == true %}
        <span class="checkmark-true">✓</span>
    {% else %}
        <span class="checkmark-false">✗</span>
    {% endif %}
{% endcomponent boolean_to_checkmark %}

Why: macro-to-component conversion only; the conditional and the emitted spans are unchanged, so the checkmarks and formatted language labels render identically.

Consuming templates

These templates called the old macros. Each drops its {% import ... as ... %} line (imports do not exist in v2; components are global) and rewrites call sites.

templates/command-page.html

• The {% import "macros/command.html" as commands %} line is removed.
• The four command_sources entries inline the JSON paths: load_data(path= commands::command_json_path(slug= page.slug), ...) becomes load_data(path= config.extra.command_json_path ~ page.slug ~ ".json", ...), and similarly for bloom, json, and search.
• The command-data selection changes from a filter to a comprehension: command_sources | filter(attribute="") | first becomes [s for s in command_sources if s] | first. Why: Tera v2's array comprehension expresses "first non-empty source" directly; the earlier filter(attribute="") idiom picked truthy entries, and the comprehension keeps only truthy s, so the selected source is the same.
• command_obj_name is replaced inline: commands::command_obj_name(command_data= command_data) becomes command_data | keys | first.
• The arguments_parse call is wrapped in a set-capture block and then emitted: {{ commands::arguments_parse(argument_array=command_data_obj.arguments) }} becomes {% set args_rendered %}{{< arguments_parse argument_array={command_data_obj.arguments} />}}{% endset %} followed by {{ args_rendered }}.
• Three fix_links call sites (the RESP2/RESP3 reply blocks and the command description) convert to fix_links_command set-capture blocks: {{ commands::fix_links(content=resp2_reply) | markdown | safe }} becomes {% set resp2_fixed %}{{< fix_links_command content={resp2_reply} />}}{% endset %} then {{ resp2_fixed | markdown | safe }}.

Why it preserves behavior: every replacement produces the same intermediate values (paths, command name, rendered arguments, link-fixed text) that then flow through the same | markdown | safe pipeline. The Usage line and the reply sections render as before.

templates/command-list.html

• Import removed.
• The four json_path list entries inline the paths (same substitution as command-page.html).
• command_obj_name = commands::command_obj_name(command_data= command_data) becomes command_obj_name = command_data | keys | first.
• Accumulation switches from the removed concat filter to spread: commands_entries | concat(with= [ command_entry ]) becomes [...commands_entries, command_entry].

Why: [...list, item] appends one element exactly as concat(with=[item]) did, so the entries list is identical in content and order.

templates/commands.html

• Import removed; four json_path entries inlined; command_obj_name replaced by keys | first; concat replaced by [...commands_entries, command_entry] (same as command-list.html).
• Two loops change to iterate over sorted keys (intentional ordering pin, detailed in the callouts below). The command-group loop changes from {% for command_group_name, command_group in grouped %} to:

{% for command_group_name in grouped | keys | sort %}
    {% set command_group = grouped[command_group_name] %}

and the category list loop makes the same change over group_descriptions | keys | sort, looking each value up by key inside the loop.

Why: Tera v2 no longer guarantees the iteration order of a group_by result or a map. Sorting the keys pins a stable alphabetical order. The set of groups and categories, and each group's members, are unchanged; only iteration order is now explicit.

templates/docs.html

• Import removed.
• The four helper calls in the index block convert to set-capture components: docs::load(slug= "index") becomes {% set docs_file_contents %}{{< load slug="index" topic_path={config.extra.doc_topic_path} exceptions={config.extra.slug_source_exceptions} />}}{% endset %}, and extract_frontmatter, extract_markdown, fix_links_docs follow the same pattern.
• In the alphabetical-index loop, the same load and extract_frontmatter set-capture conversion applies, plus {% set frontmatter = frontmatter | trim %} is added before the length check. Why: a captured component renders with surrounding whitespace, so trimming makes an all-whitespace capture measure as zero length, matching the old macro's frontmatter-detection behavior.
• escape is renamed to escape_html: frontmatter_data.description | escape | safe becomes frontmatter_data.description | escape_html | safe. Why: Tera v2 renames the filter; the HTML escaping is otherwise identical.
• The control-character regex literal is rewritten from backtick to double-quoted form: `[\u0000-\u001F]` becomes "[\\u0000-\\u001F]", matching the same characters.
• The JSON-string accumulator switches from concat to spread: list | concat(with= ['{...}']) becomes [...list, '{...}'].

Why it preserves behavior: the captured text, the escaped and cleaned description, and the accumulated JSON strings are the same values as before, feeding the same output.

templates/docs-page.html

• Import removed.
• docs::load, docs::extract_frontmatter, docs::extract_markdown, docs::fix_links convert to set-capture component calls (with load receiving topic_path and exceptions, fix_links becoming fix_links_docs).
• {% set frontmatter = frontmatter | trim %} is added before the length check (same whitespace reason as docs.html).
• Two membership tests flip from the is containing(...) test to the in operator: config.extra.review_list is containing(page.path) becomes page.path in config.extra.review_list, and the same for publish_hold. Why: Tera v2 expresses list membership with the in operator; the truth value is the same, so the "under review" and "publish hold" branches trigger on the same pages.

templates/topics-list.html

• Import removed.
• docs::load and docs::extract_frontmatter convert to set-capture component calls; {% set frontmatter = frontmatter | trim %} is added.
• Accumulation switches from concat to [...topics_entries, topic_entry].

Why: same transformations as the other list templates; the topics entries list is unchanged in content and order.

templates/client-feature-table.html

• The {% import "macros/docs.html" as docs %} line is removed.
• The client JSON path inlines: load_data(path = docs::client_json_path(client_path= path), format="json") becomes load_data(path = config.extra.client_json_path ~ path, format="json").
• The checkmark call converts to a component: {{ docs::boolean_to_checkmark(value=json_data[field]) }} becomes {{< boolean_to_checkmark value={json_data[field]} />}}.

Why: same path value, same checkmark markup; the feature table renders identically.

templates/client-list.html

• Import removed; the three client JSON path call sites inline to config.extra.client_json_path ~ ....
• Two format_language calls convert to components: {{ docs::format_language(language=language) }} becomes {{< format_language language={language} />}}.
• The Table-of-Contents language accumulator switches from the removed concat to spread: languages | concat(with=language) becomes [...languages, language]. This is the open item flagged in the high-level design doc; it is fixed here.
• One installation check changes from is iterable to is not string: {% if client.installation is iterable %} becomes {% if client.installation is not string %}. Why: in Tera v2 a string is iterable, so is iterable would take the list branch for a plain-string installation value and iterate its characters. is not string restores the original intent (treat a multi-value installation as a list, a single string as scalar), so the installation block renders as before.

Standalone templates

These templates do not use the macros but hit Tera v2 semantics.

templates/index.html

• The release-filter accumulator switches from concat to spread, and the matcher test gains the named pat argument: release.extra.tag is not matching(".*-.*") becomes release.extra.tag is not matching(pat=".*-.*"). Why: Tera v2's matching test takes a named pat argument; the pattern is the same, so pre-release tags are still filtered out.
• Two slice operations switch to native slicing: active_releases | slice(end= 1) becomes active_releases[:1], and blog_post_section.pages | slice(end=2) becomes blog_post_section.pages[:2]. Why: slice is removed; [:1] and [:2] take the same leading elements.

templates/download.html

Same three changes as index.html: [...active_releases, release] for the accumulator, matching(pat=".*-.*"), and active_releases[:1] for most_recent_release_page. The selected most-recent release is unchanged.

templates/blog.html

The featured-posts selection changes from a filter-plus-slice chain to a comprehension plus native slice:

{% set featured_posts = blog_post_section.pages | filter(attribute="extra.featured", value=true) | slice(end=4) %}

becomes

{% set featured_posts = [p for p in blog_post_section.pages if p.extra?.featured == true] %}
{% set featured_posts = featured_posts[:4] %}

Why: filter and slice give way to a comprehension and native slicing. p.extra?.featured uses optional chaining so a post without an extra.featured key does not error under Tera v2's stricter undefined-access rules; the comprehension keeps posts whose featured is true, and [:4] caps at four, matching the old behavior.

templates/community.html

The card merge guards against a missing key and switches to spread:

{% set cards = page_cards | concat(with= cards_meta.extra.cards) %}

becomes

{% set meta_cards = cards_meta.extra.cards | default(value=[]) %}
{% set cards = [...page_cards, ...meta_cards] %}

Why: concat is removed; the two lists are spread into one. default(value=[]) supplies an empty list when cards_meta.extra.cards is absent, so the merge does not error and produces the same combined list.

templates/release-section.html

The release-lines accumulator switches from concat to spread: release_lines | concat(with=header) becomes [...release_lines, header]. The subsequent | unique is unchanged, so the deduplicated version headers are the same.

templates/events.html

The {% block subhead_content %}...{% endblock %} that rendered the <h1 class="page-title">Events</h1> heading is removed. This is a content/layout edit carried in the template commit; the page body (main_content) is unchanged.

templates/participants.html

The {% block subhead_content %} that emitted {{ page.content | safe }} and included includes/participants-buttons.html is removed. The main_content block, which loads and sorts participants, is unchanged.

templates/default.html

Undefined-access hardening. The <html lang> attribute gains optional chaining: page.lang becomes page?.lang. The <body> attributes add defined-guards and optional chaining: {%- if page.extra.sectionid -%} becomes {%- if page is defined and page.extra?.sectionid -%}, and the body_class checks for page and section follow the same pattern. Why: Tera v2 errors on undefined access beyond one level. On pages where page or section is not defined, page is defined short-circuits and extra?.sectionid avoids the deep-access error, so the attributes render only when their source exists, matching the old silent-empty behavior.

templates/includes/head.html

Every <title> and og:title branch adds an is defined guard: {%- if command_title -%} becomes {%- if command_title is defined and command_title -%}, and likewise for frontmatter_title, page.title (page is defined and page.title), and section.title. Why: these variables are set only on some page types; Tera v2 errors on referencing an undefined variable, so the is defined guard is required. The title-selection order and the emitted strings are unchanged.

templates/atom.xml

• Defined-guards are added to the term, section, and per-page conditionals: {%- if term %} becomes {%- if term is defined and term %}, {%- elif section.title %} becomes {%- elif section is defined and section.title %}, {%- if section -%} becomes {%- if section is defined -%}, and section_id and section_id == page.components[0] becomes section_id is defined and section_id == page.components[0]. Why: the feed template is rendered in contexts where term or section is not defined; the guards prevent undefined-access errors while keeping the same branches.
• The date format string changes from the shorthand %+ to the explicit %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z in three places (updated, per-entry published, per-entry updated). Why: this spells out the RFC 3339 format explicitly rather than relying on the %+ shorthand; the produced timestamp string is the same ISO 8601 form.
• The per-entry updated date is computed with or instead of the default filter: page.updated | default(value=page.date) | date(...) becomes {%- set updated_date = page.updated or page.date -%} then {{ updated_date | date(...) }}. Why: page.updated or page.date falls back to the publish date when updated is absent, matching the old default(value=page.date).

Content

content/download/releases/*.md (35 files, packages: [] fix)

Thirty-five release front-matter files receive one identical one-line change: an empty packages: key becomes an explicit empty list. Representative diff (v8-1-0.md):

-    packages:
+    packages: []

The affected files are v7-2-8, v7-2-9, v7-2-10, v7-2-11, v7-2-12, v7-2-13, v8-0-0 through v8-0-7 and v8-0-9, v8-1-0 through v8-1-8, v9-0-0-rc1/rc2/rc3, v9-0-0, v9-0-1 through v9-0-4, v9-1-0-rc1/rc2, and v9-1-0.

Why: Zola 0.23's stricter YAML/TOML front-matter parsing treats a bare packages: key with no value as null rather than an empty collection, which the template's iteration over packages does not accept. packages: [] declares an explicit empty list. Because these releases had no packages to begin with, an empty list renders the same "no packages" state as the previous null key; the output is unchanged.

Why v7-2-5, v7-2-6, and v7-2-7 are NOT changed: those three files already had populated packages: lists, so their key was never empty and needed no edit. Only the truly empty packages: keys were converted to packages: []; the diff touches 35 files, not the full release set.

content/blog/whats-new-june-2024.md (youtube component calls)

Four youtube shortcode calls convert to component-call syntax:

-{{ youtube(id="T-tH1GC0omo") }}
+{{< youtube id="T-tH1GC0omo" />}}

Why: the youtube shortcode is now the youtube component defined in templates/components.html, and Zola 0.23 invokes components with the {{< name arg=value />}} syntax rather than the old function-call form. The rendered embed is identical (the component wraps the same iframe markup).

content/blog/2024-11-21-testing-the-limits/index.md (raw guard around Docker templating)

Two occurrences of Docker's Go-template syntax {{.Names}} are wrapped in {% raw %}...{% endraw %}:

-Find the name of one of your nodes with `docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'`.
+Find the name of one of your nodes with `docker ps --format '{% raw %}{{.Names}}{% endraw %}'`.

Why: the {{ ... }} sequence is Tera expression syntax. Under Tera v2 the parser attempts to evaluate {{.Names}} and fails (or mangles it). {% raw %} tells Tera to emit the enclosed text literally, so the Docker command renders verbatim in the post, as intended.

content/authors/_index.md (sort_by = "title")

One line is added to the authors section front matter:

+sort_by = "title"

Why and effect: this is one of the two intentional ordering changes (see the callout below). It pins the authors index and author-page ordering to alphabetical by title (name) rather than relying on Zola's default page ordering, which changed in 0.23.

CI

.github/workflows/zola-deploy.yml (action bump)

One line changes the deploy action pin from shalzz/zola-deploy-action@v0.22.0 to shalzz/zola-deploy-action@v0.23.6. Why: the action's tag tracks the Zola version it builds with, per the shalzz/zola-deploy-action README, so v0.23.6 runs Zola 0.23.6. The migrated templates build only on 0.23, and the old action builds only the pre-migration templates, so the bump ships in the same PR as the template edits.

.github/workflows/zola-preview.yml (new preview workflow)

A new workflow builds a full preview of the site (command reference, topics, and clients pages assembled from the sibling repos) for every pull request against main, and on manual workflow_dispatch. It checks out the five sibling content repos (valkey-doc, valkey, valkey-bloom, valkey-search, valkey-json), runs the same init-topics-and-clients.sh and init-commands.sh steps the deploy workflow uses, and builds with shalzz/zola-deploy-action@v0.23.6 in BUILD_ONLY mode. It never touches the production GitHub Pages deployment, which zola-deploy.yml handles.

It offers two ways to consume a preview:

• Downloadable artifact (always on): the built public/ directory is uploaded as a workflow artifact with a 14-day retention, downloadable from the run summary. This uses the production base URL.
• Hosted preview URL (opt-in): when the PREVIEW_REPOSITORY and PREVIEW_TOKEN secrets are set, the build is pushed to a separate Pages repository at a per-branch subpath and built with a matching --base-url so internal links resolve. A repository serves only one Pages site, and this repo's Pages is the production site, so a hosted preview lives in a different repo.

A concurrency group keyed on the branch cancels superseded in-progress runs, and a final step writes the artifact name and (when configured) the hosted URL to the run summary.

Docs

docs/design/zola-0.23-migration.md (added)

The high-level migration design doc is added on this branch (commit 16d8d89). It explains the strategy, the Tera v2 breaking changes, the design decisions, the verification plan, and the results. This companion document is the per-file walkthrough that complements it; the prose of the design doc is not restated here.

Callout 1: two intentional behavior changes

Two lists render in a different order after the migration. Both are deliberate, and in both cases the content set is unchanged; only the order becomes explicit and stable across Zola versions.

• Author ordering is pinned via sort_by = "title" in content/authors/_index.md. Author pages and the authors index now list alphabetically by name. The set of 58 authors is unchanged.
• Command group and category ordering is pinned via ... | keys | sort in templates/commands.html (both the command-group loop and the category-list loop). Groups and categories now render in stable alphabetical order rather than the map's iteration order. The set of 436 commands, their group membership, and the category set are unchanged.

Neither change is caused by the template-syntax edits themselves; both address the fact that Tera v2 no longer guarantees default page ordering or map iteration order. Pinning the order prevents it from shifting again on a future Zola release.

Callout 2: macOS case-insensitive-filesystem caveat

Four commands carry an uppercase alias alongside their lowercase canonical slug: GEODIST, FUNCTION-STATS, READWRITE, and RENAMENX (for example geodist.md declares aliases = ["/commands/GEODIST/"]). On a case-insensitive filesystem such as the default macOS volume, the uppercase alias directory and the lowercase canonical directory collide, and a local zola build can leave these four pages as empty redirect stubs. That apparent content loss is a macOS-only artifact of the filesystem, not a regression from this migration.

On the case-sensitive Linux deploy filesystem the two paths are distinct: the canonical page renders in full at the lowercase URL, and the uppercase alias redirects to it, identical to the behavior on Zola 0.22. Verify these four pages on a case-sensitive filesystem, not on a default macOS checkout.

[greptile-apps]

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the site for Zola 0.23.6 compatibility, including component-based template helpers, revised template expressions, content metadata updates, and deployment workflow changes. Preview builds now produce artifact-only output when hosted preview credentials are incomplete, while hosted previews use an isolated, collision-resistant path.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge.

No outstanding issues remain. The resolved preview workflow findings are fully addressed: the selected ref is read from PREVIEW_REF rather than inserted into the shell script, and hosted publication requires both PREVIEW_REPOSITORY and PREVIEW_TOKEN.

Files Needing Attention: None.
