Megamenu: rail display for page trees, cache tags, editorial promo boxes

- Page-tree entries get a "Page tree display" field (columns | rail |
  rail-compact), emitted as display + cardSize: Markets and Solutions
  show their main pages as a list and the sub-pages as image cards on
  hover. Page-tree items carry image (page media) and teaser (abstract)
  from stage 2. Additive; front ends ignoring display render columns.
- vitec:attach-page-media gains --depth=2 and falls back to the page's
  hero background before the grey placeholder; the 39 sub-solution
  pages got their hero image as page media.
- MegamenuJsonRenderer tags every page carrying the menu with the menu
  tables and tt_content_<uid>, so saving menu records refreshes all
  pages instead of waiting for a full flush.
- Products catalog: drop catalog.news; both promo boxes ("Product
  highlight", "Product news") are the entry's editorial teaser cards.
  ProvideInsightsSpotlight back to its previous state.
- Spec v1.29 and v1.30 (header version corrected), README.

| 1.26 | 2026‑10‑26 | **Interface change (additive).** Product detail resources band simplified (customer CR): the `resources` envelope gains **`sectionLayout`** — `50-50` (default) \| `33-33-33` — from the new per‑product select *Resources Section Layout* (Layout 1: Technical Highlights left, resource cards right, 50/50; Layout 2: highlights over two columns, cards in the third). Capabilities leave the band editorially; the TCA fields `capabilities`, `datasheets` and `downloads` are parked in the Misc tab — all three stay in the payload unchanged. The automatic newest‑datasheet/documentation cards remain deferred; meanwhile the manual card `restype` vocabulary gains `datasheet` and `brochure` — a pinned datasheet card links the download record and stays current because the download route always serves the newest file. |
| 1.27 | 2026‑11‑02 | **Interface change (additive).** Product *Resources Section Layout* gained the value `hardware` (“Layout 3 - Hardware option”): `resources.sectionLayout = "hardware"` — Technical Highlights over two columns, no resource cards (`resources.items` is emitted empty even when cards are maintained, so they reappear on a switch back). |
| 1.28 | 2026‑11‑02 | **Interface change (breaking for the products menu, additive elsewhere).** Product section rebuilt after the agency sitemap/menu prototype of 2026-11-02: 20 product overview pages `/products/<slug>` grouped by sysfolders (3 categories → 9 groups) below /products. The megamenu `catalog` payload is now **version 2**: `categories[].groups[].items[]` of type `page` (overview page with `productCount`/`products`/`image`) or `shortcut` (`target` indices), plus `viewAll` and `news`; the menu no longer lists products. Transitional v1 fields (`groups[].products` etc.) stay until the front end has switched. The product type-ahead (`?type=7385`) gained `overviews` and a per-product `overview` with menu path. |
| 1.29 | 2026‑11‑02 | **Interface change (removal within the unreleased catalog v2).** `catalog.news` dropped (decision: no automatic news in the products menu). Both promo boxes of the products panel, "Product highlight" and "Product news", are the entry's editorial `teasers` (`kicker` = box label). Megamenu caching: pages carrying the menu are now tagged with the menu tables, so saving menu records refreshes every page; data read from the page tree still needs a cache flush. |
| 1.30 | 2026‑11‑02 | **Interface change (additive).** Megamenu `pagetree` entries carry `display` (`columns` \| `rail`) and, for `rail`, `cardSize` (`regular` \| `compact`): Markets and Solutions switch to a left list with the sub-pages as image cards on hover. Page-tree items gained `image` (page media) and `teaser` (abstract) from stage 2; the sub-solution pages received their hero background as page media (sub-markets had page media already). |
