Model site archetypes in Front Matter CMS and ease article submission

[HeyItsGilbert]

Summary

The Front Matter CMS config (frontmatter.json) was scaffolded with a single generic default content type mapped to all of content/, but the site has five distinct archetypes whose real fields (author/authors, aliases, podcast_url, the event fields, layout) weren't modeled at all. This reworks the config to match reality and smooths the path for submitting new content.

Content types & config

• Replace the lone default type with article, podcast, event, page, author, each mapped to its content folder via pageFolders.
• Articles/podcast get filePrefix: {{year}}-{{month}}-{{day}} so the YYYY-MM-DD-slug convention is automatic.
• author/authors wired to a seeded custom taxonomy; categories is a closed multiselect from the existing 15-term list.
• dateFormat set to RFC3339 to match existing content (prevents Hugo parse drift); required description field for SEO/social cards/list excerpts.

Archetypes

• Convert archetypes/default.md from TOML to YAML (all content uses YAML).
• Add articles.md, podcast.md, calendar.md, authors.md — named to match Hugo section dirs so hugo new picks them up.

Submission flow

• New .github/workflows/add-article.yml: an approved guest-post issue is parsed into a front-mattered content/articles/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md and opened as a PR (mirrors the existing add-event.yml).
• guest-blog-post.yml issue template gains Description, Category (dropdown), and Tags inputs.
• CONTRIBUTING.md front-matter template now includes description + a Front Matter tip.

Verification

• frontmatter.json and taxonomyDb.json are valid JSON; both workflow/template YAML files validate with PyYAML.
• hugo --gc builds clean.
• hugo new for articles/podcast/calendar/authors each produces a file matching its archetype.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the repository’s authoring workflow for the Hugo site by modeling the site’s real content archetypes in Front Matter CMS, adding matching Hugo archetypes, and automating “approved” guest-article issue submissions into PRs.

Changes:

• Adds a multi–content-type frontmatter.json (article/podcast/event/page/author) plus seeded taxonomy DB entries for categories/authors.
• Adds Hugo archetypes for section-based content creation and converts the default archetype to YAML.
• Introduces an add-article GitHub Actions workflow and expands the guest blog post issue form to capture description/category/tags.

Addressed the review feedback in 5ed81be:

• frontmatter.json startDate/endDate (datetime vs date-only) — kept the datetime type (preserves the date picker + isPublishDate) but added a field-level dateFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd" so Front Matter writes date-only strings matching the existing content/calendar/*.md files. No more time-component drift.
• add-article.yml HTML in Description — added a strip_html() helper applied to all scalar front matter fields (title, author, description, category, tags), matching add-event.yml.
• add-article.yml fragile fence unwrapping — issue body is now normalized to LF first, and the fence regexes tolerate surrounding whitespace/blank lines.
• add-article.yml empty slug — falls back to article-<issue#> when a title yields an empty slug, so filenames/branches are always valid.
• .vscode/extensions.json trailing comma — already fixed in 69c7679.

Verified with a parser unit test (CRLF body, HTML in description, fenced content with blank lines, and a punctuation-only title) plus JSON/YAML validation.
