The Categories section listed the keys but never explained how a recipe ends up in a category, which made the fix for a customer publishing under
uk.co.acmehard to self-discover.Adds two subsections: how a recipe name maps to a catalog path (segments matched against the full partial package, unmatched segments synthesized as capitalized names), and what
root: truereally does — the category is not rendered and its children are hoisted, so a multi-segment reverse DNS prefix needs a root per level (ukanduk.co), with a workeduk.co.acmeexample. Also corrects therootrow in the key table, which claimed the opposite ofCategoryTree.getCategories(), and notes that a segment likenomust be quoted.core-categories.yml.
