Trimmed slice fix for post URLs | Generated by AI

Summary of the bug and fix

File: _layouts/post.html:90-100

Root cause: After the existing replace filter strips the language suffix (-en, -zh, -hant) from base_name, a redundant post-processing block re-slices the already-clean name using length - 3 (or length - 5 for hant), chopping 3 extra characters off the front.

For 2026-02-15-web-analytics-zh.md:

  1. replace produces web-analytics (correct)
  2. Post-slice: base_name[:15] → web-analyt (broken, only 12 chars remain)
  3. Select URL becomes /web-analyt-zh — 404

Fix: Removed the entire post-slice arithmetic block. The replace step already produces the correct value; nothing else is needed.

With the fix applied, all language pairs now generate the correct URL (verified by simulation).
