Removes a lot of the visual noise from docs
Instead of hiding reply posts with CSS display:none and fighting the cloaking system, filter the post stream's ID array so replies are never rendered. Uses the topic-post-stream transformer to monkey-patch updateFromJson on doc category PostStream instances. All posts are stored in the identity map on initial load, then the stream and posts arrays are trimmed to the OP only. Toggling comments restores posts from the identity map synchronously with no network request.

When simple mode is enabled, the topic list should show only what matters for documentation: topic titles and last updated date. Three remaining visual elements were adding noise across all themes. - Delete the "views" column (was kept alongside posters/replies removal) - Hide inline category badge via CSS scoped to `.doc-simple-mode` (redundant when browsing within a single doc category) - Hide topic excerpts on pinned topics (documentation index should be a scannable list, not a reading view) Ref - t/179937 Requires discourse/discourse#38970

Doc-categories' simple mode presents documentation as a clean, minimal topic list focused on "what" (titles) rather than "who and when" (avatars, dates, replies). Horizon's card layout was overriding this by applying its rich card UI to all discovery contexts, including doc categories. `isTopicCardContext` now checks `category.doc_index_topic_id` and returns false for doc categories, letting the doc-categories plugin's own transformers (column removal, "Updated" header, `doc-simple-mode` class) take effect unchanged. All transformer call sites updated from `fn(context.listContext)` to `fn(context)` so the category is available for the check.
