Issue: #2599

Summary & Context

Updates the Learn page: fixes the library carousel heading, adds a short description to every library category, and gives each row of the Boost community card its own icon. The spacing fix from the ticket is not included — see Risks below.

Changes

  • Renamed the library carousel heading to "Browse our libraries" (it read "Libraries categories"). Also updated the component's fallback heading and the three style-guide demos, so the old wording can't reappear elsewhere.
  • Added a short description to all 31 library categories shown in that carousel, using the copy from the content doc. Descriptions stay editable in Wagtail under Snippets → Library Categories, and anything an editor writes always wins over the default text.
  • Gave each Boost community row its own icon. All three rows previously showed the same bullseye. They now show a calendar, a headset and a chat bubble.

‼️ Risks & Considerations ‼️

Please list any potential risks or areas that need extra attention during review/testing

  • Two icons are swapped compared to the Figma links in the ticket. The ticket points "Get help" at the chat bubble and "Fix an issue" at the headset. That looked inverted, so this PR uses headset for "Get help" and chat for "Fix an issue".
  • The spacing fix is not in this PR. The ticket says "fix the spacing inconsistency (How we got here and boost community cards)" but doesn't say which gap is wrong. This will be addressed as a separate issue.
  • The category descriptions are applied by a database migration. It only fills fields that are empty, so no existing editor copy is overwritten. Undoing it only clears text that still matches the default, so customised copy survives a rollback. Both directions were tested by hand against a local database.
  • New categories now start with a default description. Categories are created automatically by the GitHub sync. That sync now sets the matching description when it first creates a category, so fresh environments aren't left blank. It only applies at creation, so re-running the sync won't overwrite anything.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds category description defaults and migration backfill, configurable community card icons, expanded benchmark examples, revised Learn page carousel headings, and responsive masonry layout rules.

Changes

Learn page updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Category description defaults
libraries/constants.py, libraries/github.py, libraries/migrations/0045_seed_category_descriptions.py
CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS supplies defaults for new categories. Migration 0045 seeds empty descriptions for existing categories.
Community card icon rendering
core/views.py, templates/v3/includes/_community_card.html, templates/includes/icon.html
Community cards pass optional icon names. The icon template renders calendar, chat, and headset variants.
Carousel and benchmark content
templates/v3/learn_page.html, templates/v3/includes/_cards_carousel_v3.html, templates/v3/examples/_v3_example_section.html
Carousel headings use “Browse our libraries”. Benchmark examples now cover default, teal, yellow, and green charts.
Responsive masonry layout
templates/v3/learn_page.html, static/css/v3/learn-page.css
Learn page cards use three masonry columns on wide screens and a two-column grid at widths up to 1280px.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0cc43

The category-description migration uses application defaults that may change independently of the migration, which could make future installs or rollbacks apply inconsistent text. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to make the migration values immutable.

Freeze CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS inside migration 0045. A later mapping change gives fresh databases the new value while upgraded databases retain the old value. The reverse migration only matches the current value and can leave earlier seeded rows unchanged. Use a migration-local snapshot.
