fix(seo): social cards said "Home", not the page title - #196
Merged
Conversation
MkDocs sets page.title from the nav entry when the nav gives one, so a
landing page listed as "- Home: index.md" reports page.title == "Home".
The <title> tag was right, because Material reads the front matter for
it, but og:title and twitter:title read page.title and shipped
og:title = "Home - TRACE"
to every link preview. My own change introduced this: the previous
expression suppressed the homepage title entirely and fell back to the
site name, so the regression turned a bare "TRACE" into "Home - TRACE".
page.meta.title is the front-matter value. Prefer it, fall back to
page.title for inner pages, then to the site name.
Verified per site: the homepage og:title now matches its <title>, and
inner pages keep their own. Builds clean under --strict.

My earlier landing-page change relaxed the expression from
