Keep (but do not render) terms with render = 'link', list = 'never'

[djibe]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version 0.123.0
and 0.123.3

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes.

Didn't appear with Hugo 0.120 to 0.122

A taxonomy configured with the cascade is no more built.

It is meant to build a menu for fast access to categories without generating hundreds of pages.

[[cascade]]
  [cascade._build]
    list = 'never'
    render = 'never'
  [cascade._target]
    kind = '{taxonomy,term}'
    path = '{/specialites,/specialites/**}'

0.122

0.123.x

Thanks

Thoughts on this one...

Content pages: current behavior, working as desired

✔️ Do not render page, and do not add the terms+page to the taxonomy object:

title = 'Post 1'
tags = ['tag-a','tag-b']
[build]
render = 'never'
list = 'never'

✔️ Do not render page, but add the terms+page to the taxonomy object:

title = 'Post 1'
tags = ['tag-a',''tag-b']
[build]
render = 'link'     <-- link instead of never
list = 'never'

Term pages: would it make sense to mirror the above?

✔️ Do not render page, and do not add the term+pages to the taxonomy object (current behavior)

title = 'tag-a'
[build]
render = 'never'
list = 'never'

❌ Do not render page, but add the term+pages to the taxonomy object (proposed behavior):

title = 'tag-a'
[build]
render = 'link'     <-- link instead of never
list = 'never'

Notes from #12044

The green check mark indicates that the term and its weighted pages should contribute to the taxonomy.

		RENDER
		always	link	never
LIST	always	✔️	✔️	❌
	local	✔️	✔️	❌
	never	✔️	✔️	❌
