Upgrade to Hextra v0.12

[Copilot]

Upgrades Hextra from v0.9.3 to v0.12.1, Hugo to v0.157.0, and Go to v1.26.0. The previous attempt failed because overridden partials referenced internal Hextra helpers that no longer exist in the new template system.

Dependency updates

• Hextra v0.9.3 → v0.12.1
• Hugo v0.140.2 → v0.157.0 (CI workflow + devcontainer)
• Go v1.23.4 → v1.26.0 (go.mod); devcontainer image go:1 → go:dev-1.26

Removed layouts/partials/head.html

Called head-css.html which no longer exists in Hextra v0.12. CSS loading, dark mode initialization, and Google Analytics are now handled natively by Hextra.

Replaced layouts/partials/opengraph.html

The old partial used a custom ogimage front matter key. The new version uses Hextra's standard images array parameter but extends the built-in lookup to also resolve global assets via resources.Get (needed because card images live in /assets/ and are converted to WebP by the card shortcode — the originals aren't published unless explicitly fetched):

{{- with resources.Get . -}}
  <meta property="og:image" content="{{ .Permalink }}">
{{- else -}}
  <meta property="og:image" content="{{ $image | absURL }}">
{{- end -}}

All 95 content files updated from ogimage: path → images: [path].

Updated layouts/partials/footer.html

• .Scratch.Get → .Store.Get (.Scratch deprecated in Hugo v0.140+)
• CSS utility prefix hx- → hx: (Hextra v0.10+ switched to Tailwind's prefix config)
• Width variable replaced with hextra-max-footer-width CSS class

Enabled llms.txt generation

outputs:
  home:
    - HTML
    - RSS
    - LLMS

Admin actions still required

• Update Cloudflare build system to v3
• Set Cloudflare Hugo build environment variable to v0.157.0

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Upgrade to Hextra v0.12</issue_title>
<issue_description>We're several versions behind, so upgrade to Hextra v0.12.

• Template structure changed, see https://gohugo.io/templates/new-templatesystem-overview/ for the details.
• v0.10 included some breaking changes, see https://imfing.github.io/hextra/blog/v0.10/#migration-guide.
• opengraph images are supported natively by Hugo and Hextra now, so get rid of the opengraph.html partial and update the pages to use the built-in method instead: https://gohugo.io/templates/embedded/
• Google Analytics is handled natively now, get rid of the custom head.html and use the built-in method instead. See https://imfing.github.io/hextra/docs/guide/configuration/#google-analytics
• Devcontainer image needs to update to go version dev-1.26
• go.mod needs to update to version 1.26.0
• Enable llms.txt file generation, see https://imfing.github.io/hextra/blog/v0.10/#llmstxt-support
• Update the pinned version of Hugo in the devcontainer to 0.157.0

Documentation for all revisions since the one we're on:

• https://imfing.github.io/hextra/blog/v0.11/

@copilot Good start. There are these two warnings to address:

WARN The 'items' parameter of the 'tabs' shortcode is deprecated. Please use 'name' on 'tab' instead.
WARN The 'defaultIndex' parameter of the 'tabs' shortcode is deprecated. Please use 'selected' on 'tab' instead.

@copilot Tested this deployed to Cloudflare and the og images aren't working. Looking at the page header HTML here's the path generated:

But navigating to that URL results in a 404.
