Let the owner manage categories, and give the menus a shelf
Categories were baked into config/<site>.site.json, so adding one meant a rebuild and a redeploy. They are now data: data/sections.json, seeded from the config the first time, and managed in the admin (add, rename, reorder, remove). A category's web address is fixed when it is created because that is what a QR code points at, and a category cannot be removed while it still holds menus. The landing and the top bar were the ugliest parts. The landing was a column of hairlines with tiny meta — a broadsheet, and the paper that makes this app worth looking at was nowhere on it. It is now a shelf: each category is a row whose right edge is a sliver of that menu's first page, bleeding off the screen, with the shelf edge in brass and the name in heavy tight Archivo. The bar was a row of teal pills that would not survive more categories: it now names the menu you are reading and opens a sheet listing the rest, each with its own paper sliver, and the current one is the only teal thing on screen. The sheet is a link to the landing page, so navigating still works without the script. Also fixes the category manager's own layout, which I shipped unstyled, and the markup contract the route tests described.

The admin, and the owner, say **category** where the code and this glossary say Section. The two words mean the same thing; the code keeps Section so the storage layout, routes and manifests stay consistent.

One complete set of Pages published together for a Section, with a label and an optional valid-until date.
