Pull request overview
Fixes an edge case in Hexo’s source caching where future-dated posts processed with future: false could permanently lose tag/category relations until the post content changed or the site was cleaned. The PR ensures such posts remain “dirty” in the cache while they are still future-dated, so they will be reprocessed automatically after their publish date passes.
Changes:
- Mark future-dated posts as dirty in the
Cachemodel whenfuture: false, forcing reprocessing on subsequent generates. - Add a regression test that simulates time passing and verifies tags/categories are restored after the publish date.

What does it do?
Fixes #5642.
When
future: falsehides a future-dated post, Hexo strips its tag/category relations while processing. The source cache was still saved as clean, so once the post date passed, a laterhexo generatecould skip the unchanged source file and leave tag/category pages missing until the post changed or the site was cleaned.This keeps published future-dated posts dirty in the source cache while
future: false, so the next generate after their publish date reprocesses the post and restores its relations.Screenshots
