Machine layer
Nothing is exposed to a machine that is not visible to a person on this page. There is no hidden keyword layer and no structured claim the visible text does not also make.
A category page only exists once we hold at least 3 independence-checked places in it. Below that we publish nothing, because a two-item shortlist is a thin page, and a thin page is junk.
That count is taken in Headingley alone. The rule is evaluated against the scope being rendered, never against the parent: an area never inherits a page from its city.
