## What
A full revamp of the `/guides` section — taxonomy, structure, and UX.
Preview: https://deploy-preview-25338--docsdocker.netlify.app/guides/
### Taxonomy & structure
- Replaces the sprawling 24-tag set with a focused 9-tag taxonomy
aligned to use case / SDLC: **Languages & frameworks, AI, Testing,
CI/CD, Security, Databases, Deployment, Admin, Hands-on labs**.
- Removes the languages taxonomy entirely (`data/languages.yaml` and all
`languages:` front matter).
- Collapses all multi-page guide series into single pages, with aliases
so old sub-page URLs continue to resolve.
- Deletes redirect-only shim pages and flattens directory-wrapped single
pages.
### Landing page (`/guides/`)
- A clean index: hero, then category sections listing each guide as a
plain **title / summary** row.
- **Browse rail** (sticky, left): click a topic to filter the page to
just that topic's guides; "All guides" resets. A count + Clear bar
appears while filtering.
- **Text filter**: instant client-side search over title, summary, and
tags. Topic filter and text search are mutually exclusive and share the
same flat-list view.
- No more "Featured guides" section.
### Guide content pages
- Removes the left sidebar for the guides section (mobile drawer kept).
- Centered reading column (`92ch`) with the TOC taking the remaining
width.
- Summary rendered as a lead paragraph under the h1.
- TOC scrollbar auto-hides until hover; breadcrumbs render at a
consistent size inside and outside `prose`.
## Notes
- Deep full-text search across guide bodies is still handled by the
existing site-wide Pagefind (⌘K); the landing filter is the fast
metadata-narrowing surface.
- `series.html` is retained — it's still used by `get-started` pages.
## Validation
- Site builds clean locally (Hugo dev server, no errors / broken refs).
- All collapsed sub-page URLs redirect via aliases.
## Follow-ups
- Prune guides that we no longer need/want
- Tighten the guides that span too many concepts (e.g. language guides;
remove cicd/deploy/sscs)
