We can hit a bit of a race condition when using this combined with https://githu…b.com/discourse/discourse-category-banners/... this avoids the problem. Before (tag sometimes breaks): <img width="391" height="122" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9982aa67-0aa1-4e24-8a24-f66ec6358a58" /> After (tag won't attempt to render before data is available): <img width="582" height="366" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0df4dd40-a7db-47a7-ad41-8d29c3c13fcd" />
