Configuration Support & Module Organization

This document details how we successfully achieved modular configuration organization for HBStack without breaking Hugo’s core functionality. We solved the challenge of separating module-specific configurations while maintaining proper site rendering and avoiding unintended multilingual site creation.

🎯 The Challenge

Initially, we attempted to separate HBStack module configurations into individual files to improve maintainability:

params.blog.yaml - Blog module configuration
params.docs.yaml - Documentation module configuration
params.pwa.yaml - PWA module configuration
params.seo.yaml - SEO module configuration

Problem: Hugo interpreted these as language-specific configurations, creating separate language sites instead of module configurations, resulting in:
