Extract the glossary and static-page SEO copy into a schema-validated content/ tree (#241)
The weather-terms glossary (9 entries) and four static pages' SEO title/
description were hardcoded directly in web/content.py - a 1019-line module
that also owns all SSR rendering logic - mixed in with code that changes on
a completely different cadence and for different reasons.
Add content/glossary.yaml and content/pages.yaml (a new repo-root content/
tree, a sibling of backend/ and frontend/ paths.py resolves the same way -
the seed of a future thermograph-copy repo per the architecture decision
doc's own §4) plus web/content_loader.py: a small loader that validates each
file's shape at load time (required fields present and non-empty, no
duplicate glossary slugs) and fails loudly on a malformed edit rather than
rendering a blank glossary card or an empty <title>. content.py's GLOSSARY
dict and the about/privacy/hub/glossary_index page_title/description
literals now come from the loader.
Scope: only content that is genuinely pure static data with no embedded
template logic. cities_flavor.json (Wikipedia extracts, already its own
generated file) and the homepage's title/description (embedded in
home.html.j2 as Jinja block overrides, a heavily-tested product-critical
template) are deliberately left as they are - a future pass, not required
for this one. UI microcopy bound to frontend logic stays in frontend/,
per the doc's own line between content and frontend.
Verified: content/glossary.yaml generated programmatically from the live
GLOSSARY dict (not hand-transcribed) and round-tripped byte-for-byte
identical against it; content/pages.yaml's four entries checked field-by-
field against the original hardcoded strings. Full backend suite green (362
passed, 4 skipped) with zero existing test changes needed beyond one
assertion made escaping-aware (a pre-existing Jinja double-escape quirk on
the one title containing "&", intentionally preserved not fixed). Built
and booted the real Docker image: content/ present at /app/content, and
curled /glossary, /glossary/percentine, /about, /privacy from inside the
running container - all four render with the exact expected title text.
