Scope uncategorized-post fix to posts/ only
Pages without a category suffix still map to the default category.
Only posts/ files without a suffix get uncategorized: true in nav.yml
and category: null in search.json.

# Unreleased changes
Changes merged into `development` that have not yet been released to `main`.
---
## Untranslated posts now visible in all categories
**Status:** On `development`, pending release.
### What was broken
When the category system is enabled, a post file without a category suffix (e.g. `posts/my-post.md`) was silently assigned to the default category only. Switching to any other category caused those posts to disappear from the nav and from `posts-*` tag listings — even though no translated version existed. If you wrote posts without a language suffix, they simply vanished the moment a visitor switched category.
Pages without a category suffix are unaffected: they continue to be assigned to the default category, which is the correct behaviour for pages.
### What it does now
Posts without a category suffix are treated as uncategorised — meaning they appear in every category. A post called `my-post.md` now shows up regardless of which category is active. A post called `my-post.en.md` still appears only in the `en` category as before.
Mixed situations work as expected: if you have both `my-post.md` and `my-post.nb.md`, the Norwegian variant is shown when the `nb` category is active, and the bare `my-post.md` is shown for every other category.
### What changes in the build output
After rebuilding a site with `mdcms build`, affected post entries in `nav.yml` gain an `uncategorized: true` field:
```yaml
- file: posts/my-post.md
title: My Post
sort: 100
uncategorized: true
```
In `search.json`, these entries carry `"category": null` instead of the default category code. This is what tells the renderer to include them universally.
A rebuild is required for existing sites to pick up the change.
