When pulling the categories.json, I notice that the topic_count value increases as topics are added, but post_count doesn’t seem to increase.
If I pull c/{slug}/{id}.json to list the topics in the category, the posts_count for the individual topics is updating correctly, and the About web page shows the expected number of new daily posts.
It’s just on the categories API that doesn’t seem to be reflecting the correct post count. Is this a known issue? Does the category post count only update periodically with a back end data rollup? Is there somewhere else I should be going to check category post counts?

The discussion revolves around a bug where the post_count in the categories API does not increment when new posts are added, despite the topic_count updating correctly and individual topics showing accurate posts_count. mmahacek1 reports the issue, suspecting a caching problem. sam acknowledges it as a potential edge case and marks it as pr-welcome. pdthomson expresses interest in fixing it but encounters setup issues with node and npm versions, seeking help from sam.

This certainly sounds like a possible edge case in our API. We have many layers of cache and possibly this is one cache that we are not updating right away.
Putting a pr-welcome on this in case someone from the community would like to try fixing.

Hey Sam! I have been sitting up the environment using the links from the ReadME and the trouble shooting page and have been updating/changing things with brew/node to get past this issue but I keep getting the same error
