Solution group pages: layout 22 + Template-06 workbook import

- new frontend layout 22 "Solution Group Page" (provider LAYOUT_MAP,
  TCA layout item, locallang_pages.xlf; zones hero=colPos1, main=colPos0
  like layout 5 so the front end reuses its components)
- new pipeline Import\SolutionGroupPageImporter +
  vitec:import-solution-group-workbooks (inbox
  migrations/solutiongroups_xlsx_in/, gitignored): reads the agency
  "Template 06" group workbooks by column-A label scan, resolves the
  group via "Hero H1" -> is_group record -> detail_page (pages must
  exist), cursor-based slotNext() allows repeated CTypes per column
- element plan per page: markethero (+#capabilities CTA anchor) + hero
  intro paragraph; intro + supporting 50/50; challenges header + 4
  text_only cards; capabilities header + 4 alternating horizontal cards
  (bullets as <ul>); usecaselist shipped HIDDEN (an empty selection
  would list ALL stories - editors pick, then unhide); marketinsights;
  prefooter ctabanner. Page properties as on the sub-solution pages,
  8 curated keyword sets
- 56 numbered grey placeholders for pages 459-466 (7 slots per page)
- applied to all 8 group pages, live-verified on 459/465; the solutions
  branch is now content-complete (groups + 39 details)
- spec v1.24 (revision row, head/footer)

Found on the way: the "Engagament" typo lives in page 465's title AND
slug; the record is spelled correctly. Fix needs coordination with the
sub-solution workbook metas - own task, not done here.

 | 1.21 | 2026‑10‑07 | **Interface change (additive) and corpus change.** Search results carry `image` (processed 640 px tile image, root-relative, `null` for types without one). Corpus: story documents now include their body (the inline `tt_content` children), page and story content include the text columns of the market/solution Content Blocks and the `vitec_items`/`vitec_faq_items` collection children; solutions are indexed. News rank by publication date (`datetime`; `crdate` is the import date) with an age-decay boost. EXT:solr upgraded from 14.0.0-RC1 to 14.0.2 final (TYPO3 and the Solr image). Editorial: 7.16 now states the `/_json` prefix the URL swap introduced, the `type` vocabulary lists `solution` (delivered since 1.14), and the footer had been stuck at v1.19. |
 | 1.22 | 2026‑10‑09 | **Interface change (additive) and defect fix.** Search cards ("best bets", 7.16): editorial `tx_vitec_domain_model_searchcard` records with keyword lists; the search payload gained `cards` (max. 3, priority-ordered, page 1 only, synonym-aware keyword match; record cards mirror the record’s indexed document, filled card fields override). Defect fix: a request without `q` returned an empty body instead of the documented empty shape (`stdClass` resolved inside the renderer namespace). |
 | 1.23 | 2026‑10‑09 | **New interface (additive).** Product type-ahead for the megamenu catalog panel: lean page type `?type=7385&q=` (7.16) returning `suggestions` and up to six product cards via Solr, last term completed as a prefix. The megamenu gained the panel layout `catalog`, filled by the VITEC listener `ProvideProductCatalog` (main categories → subcategory groups → products with one-line teasers). |
