home models payload contains no models

Error message

home models payload contains no models

What it means

decodeHomeModels parsed one or more sections but ended with zero usable entries: every model object either lacked a non-empty 'id' (or a 'name' usable as fallback id) or was not a string. After sorting, len(out) == 0 triggers this error as a final sanity check.

Solutions

1. Dump one raw model object from the payload to check the id/name field names actually present
2. If the schema changed, update the field extraction in decodeHomeModels (id, name keys) to the new names
3. If sections legitimately contain no models, treat this as an empty catalog instead of an error

sample := firstModelObject(raw)
if sample != nil && strField(sample, "id") == "" && strField(sample, "name") == "" {
	// schema drift: id field renamed — do not treat as model list
}

When it happens

Trigger: Sections exist but their arrays are empty; model objects use a renamed id field (e.g. 'model' or 'slug') so every id resolves to ''; entries are not JSON objects (e.g. arrays of strings).

Common situations: Upstream schema change renaming 'id'; a feed that returns section metadata objects instead of model lists.
