Extend Solr search: content coverage, 14.0.2, news recency, result images

- Index the text columns of the market/solution Content Blocks and the
  vitec_items/vitec_faq_items collection children; story documents now
  include their body (inline tt_content children via
  tx_vitec_usecase_content, same per-element extraction as pages) -
  stories were indexed with subtitle and teaser only until now
- Upgrade EXT:solr 14.0.0-RC1 -> 14.0.2 final (the Solr image moved to a
  fresh volume because the configset changed; synonyms restored via REST)
- News decay with age by publication date: crdate is the import date, so
  news map datetime to created; boost function gated to news only
- Results carry `image`: processed 640px tile image per type,
  root-relative, null for pages and downloads
- Spec v1.21: 7.16 states the /_json prefix and lists `solution` in the
  type vocabulary; footer had been stuck at v1.19
- suggest-demo.html fetches through /_json after the URL swap

 | 1.18 | 2026‑09‑24 | **Interface change (additive).** Products gained `solutions` — an MM relation to solutions, emitted as solution cards in both product payloads — and a **Resources tab**: child table `tx_vitec_product_resource` with documentation / support cards (editable title, text and icon around one link, resolved per 9.12; cards without a resolvable link are not emitted) plus a `datasheets` MM selection of download records rendered into the same envelope as `type: datasheet` cards, delivered detail‑only as the `resources` list envelope whose `layout` switches to `carousel` above three cards in total (7.15). The `solutions` relation accepts group‑level records: the eight groups exist as `is_group = 1` solutions (created by `vitec:create-solution-groups`, excluded from lists and from `vitec:align-solutions`) because the agency workbooks reference the group level. Editorial: the footer had been stuck at v1.15 since 1.16/1.17 (2026‑09‑11). |
 | 1.19 | 2026‑09‑25 | **Interface change (additive).** The `vitec_card` Content Block gained the `layout_variant` value `flipcard` and a *Card Back* palette: `back_headline` (string, max 100) and `back_text` (richtext → HTML). The two fields are `displayCond`‑gated on the flipcard layout in the backend but serialised unconditionally (7.7) — the front end **shall** key the back face on `layout_variant`, never on field presence, because stored back values persist when an editor switches the layout away. Backend repair: `vitec_layout_variant` / `vitec_background_variant` are shared with `vitec_ctabanner`, and the index‑wise Content‑Blocks merge had dropped four card‑only select values (“Missing label”) — per‑type item lists now come from `columnsOverrides` (7.7); the Card‑Back palette lives in the Layout tab below the variant select. Editorial: the head‑matter version had been stuck at v1.17 since 1.18. |
 | 1.20 | 2026‑10‑01 | **Interface change (additive).** Sub-market page template: frontend layout 21 with one colPos group per design section (`colPos110`..`colPos160`, clause 7.17); new Content Blocks `vitec_markethero`, `vitec_marketintro`, `vitec_marketinsights`; new plugin `vitec_productfeature` (key `productfeature`, one product in the 7.15.2 item shape); story cards gained `quote`/`quotePerson`/`quoteRole`; `vitec_usecaselist` gained the layout value `testimonials`; `vitec_productlist` gained hand-picked product selection (editor order, category filter ignored). Field semantics: Template_Sub-Market_Spezifikation_2026-10-01.md. |
+| 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. |
