Category duplicates
The tag→category conversion appended a parent name to keep labels globally
unique, so the tree was full of rows like "Cellulitis (Emergency Medicine)"
filed under Emergency Medicine. The breadcrumb already shows the parent, so the
suffix was noise in every picker. scripts/sanitize_categories.py strips it,
then merges siblings that collapse to the same name — including the
"Absence Seizure" / "Absence Seizures" pair. Applied to production after a
table backup: 491 renamed, 3 merged, 1078 → 1075, and a second run is a no-op.
Merging repoints questions, additional-category links, articles, decks, child
categories and grants before deleting the losing row.
Newly created categories not appearing
`/api/question-categories` (no trailing slash) 307-redirects to **http://**,
which the browser blocks as mixed content on an https page. Three callers used
the bare path, so the request failed silently into a catch and the list stayed
stale. Trailing slash added.
Category page
Rows now show questions filed directly here, the roll-up including everything
beneath, subcategory count, and an Empty badge for a leaf holding nothing — so
the shape of the tree is visible rather than inferred. On small screens it says
plainly that editing is easier on a desktop.
Tests: 136 frontend green, build clean.
