Pages missing in the section index of docs-only sites

Environment

• Version of Docsy you are using: 0.13.0
• How are you using Docsy? As a: fork
• Version of Hugo you are using (output of hugo version): v0.155.0-74c0bbfc6abce6a4f568c2b8c593a7fca9710e3f+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2026-01-28T16:28:23Z

Problem

In docs-only sites, the section index (the formatted list of pages in the section) of the home page is not built correctly. It only lists pages that are direct children and not inside another section. For example in:

.
└── content/
    ├── _index.md
    ├── A/
    │   ├── _index.md
    │   └── B.md
    └── C.md

only C would be listed in the section index and A would be missed.

I created a sample project based on docsy.dev in adlerzei/docsy:top_level_section_bug_example where this issue can be seen:

The nested section index pages are missing, e.g., "Get started" and "Content and Customization" are not listed.

Thanks for reporting this, and the repro, that's appreciated. I've created a tracker issue and included this as a part of it (since there are a few more aspects I need to tackle other than those you've report):

• Reintroduce support for doc-rooted sites #2504

FYI, the fixes probably won't land until after the next release.

@adlerzei - I'll explain the new proposed site config shortly, after I'm done with my final tests and adjustments.
