Preserve page _id on re-import so cross-file page: links resolve

[elemdos]

Problem

Internal page links (nav, footer, in-content) reference pages by their exported _id (page: <id>). Two ways the importer breaks that reference:

1. Dangling links. The importer only honored a page's exported _id when creating a brand-new page. A page matched as "existing" via the unscoped slug/name fallback kept its old record id, so every link pointing at the file's _id resolved to an empty URL and silently rendered as href="#".
2. Cross-folder merge (data loss). The name fallback is also unscoped by parent, so importing /support/docs could match an existing /product/docs (both named "Docs"), re-parent it, and merge two distinct pages into one.

This surfaced on primo.build itself: a pulled Pricing page got a fresh record id while site/content.yaml still linked to its exported _id, so the Pricing nav link was dead.

Root cause

The page lookup in importPage (id → slug → name) isn't scoped by parent, and the _id-preservation branch only runs for existing == nil.

Fix (internal/import.go, +28 lines)

Two guards at the top of importPage, where parentId, slug, and the exported _id are all in scope:

• Parent-scope the fallback: if existing was matched by slug/name (id differs) and sits under a different parent, drop it so a fresh record is created under the correct _id.
• Adopt the exported _id: if a genuine same-parent match's id has drifted from a valid exported _id, delete and recreate under that _id. Sections/entries are already rebuilt from the file on every import, so no record state is lost.

Tests (internal/import_test.go, +5)

• TestReimportPageWithIDAfterIDlessImport — id adoption on re-import (regression repro)
• TestNameFallbackCrossesFolders — cross-folder merge (regression repro)
• TestSameLeafSlugDifferentFolders, TestMovePageKeepsIdentity, TestFreshImportPreservesIdWithHomepageParent — guards for fresh import, legitimate moves, and distinct-folder pages

Full ./internal/ suite passes. Verified end-to-end against the primo.build marketing site: 46/46 pages preserve their file _id and every page: nav/footer link resolves (no href="#").

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The import logic scopes fallback matches by parent path and validates exported IDs. It preserves ID-less page moves, recreates same-parent records when IDs conflict, and keeps links valid after page rekeying. Regression tests cover these identity cases.

Changes

Page identity reconciliation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parent-scoped matching and ID reconciliation internal/import.go	The diff and import paths compare full page paths, retain ID-less moves, and recreate same-parent records when valid exported IDs differ.
Explicit ID and folder identity coverage internal/import_test.go	Tests cover explicit ID adoption, duplicate slugs and names across folders, page moves, homepage parenting, and ID-less moves.
Rekeyed page link coverage internal/import_test.go	Tests verify that section and site-content links resolve after a page changes from a generated ID to an exported ID.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 15c21

The importer now preserves exported page IDs and scopes fallback matching by parent to prevent broken links and cross-folder page merges; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
