Astro 5 content collections add editorial layer to programmatic sites
Astro 5's content collections allow developers to conditionally add editorial content to programmatic pages using typed Markdown files. The setup uses Zod schemas and getEntry() returning undefined for missing entries, enabling 3 out of 18 pages to display custom takes without errors. This pattern helps differentiate structurally identical pages from scraped mirrors.
