Description

Removes leading zeros from dateday values in blog post TOML front matter to comply with TOML v1.0.0 specification.

Why This Change is Needed

The Problem:

  • Blog posts contain dateday = 01, dateday = 07 etc. in TOML front matter
  • Leading zeros violate TOML v1.0.0 spec (ambiguous with octal notation)
  • Hugo v0.123.7+ fails to build: Error: unmarshal failed: toml: expected newline
  • Blocks local development with modern Hugo and future version upgrades

The Fix:

  • Change dateday = 07dateday = 7 (remove leading zeros)
  • Backward compatible with Hugo v0.57.2 (current version in netlify.toml)
  • Enables modern Hugo usage and future upgrades

Checklist

  • Commit message follows guidelines
  • Tested with Hugo v0.57.2 and v0.123.7+

Summary of Changes

Hello @codeEvolveZenith345, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical compatibility issue preventing the use of newer Hugo versions for building blog posts. It standardizes the dateday format within the TOML front matter of various markdown files by removing leading zeros, thereby adhering to the TOML v1.0.0 specification. This ensures that the site can be built successfully with modern Hugo, while maintaining compatibility with the currently deployed version, and paves the way for future tooling updates.

Highlights

  • TOML Specification Compliance: Leading zeros have been removed from dateday values in blog post TOML front matter to comply with the TOML v1.0.0 specification, which considers leading zeros ambiguous with octal notation.
  • Hugo Build Fix: This change resolves a critical build error (Error: unmarshal failed: toml: expected newline) encountered when using Hugo v0.123.7+ due to the aforementioned TOML non-compliance.
  • Backward Compatibility: The fix is backward compatible with Hugo v0.57.2, which is the current version used in netlify.toml, ensuring no regressions for existing deployments.
  • Enabling Modern Hugo: By addressing this issue, the pull request enables the use of modern Hugo versions and facilitates future upgrades, unblocking local development.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes a bug in the TOML front matter of several blog posts. The use of leading zeros for integer values like dateday is not compliant with the TOML v1.0.0 specification and was causing build failures with newer Hugo versions. The changes remove these leading zeros, ensuring the site can be built with modern tools. The fix is applied consistently across all relevant files. I've added one suggestion for a potential follow-up improvement to enhance maintainability by removing redundant date fields.

Removes leading zeros from dateday values to comply with TOML v1.0.0
specification. This change is backward compatible with Hugo v0.57.2
and prevents build failures when upgrading to modern Hugo versions.

Leading zeros create ambiguity with octal notation and are rejected
by Hugo v0.123.7+ and TOML parsers following v1.0.0 spec.
