Primary responsibility
Same as Content class: WP Post Category but the category id is selected at runtime from the navigation context (the URL the app navigated to). Used for hierarchical browse flows: a parent category list whose rows each open a child category list.
Settings
Mostly identical to WP Post Category except category_id is not configurable — it’s resolved from the request.

Gotchas
- Hard to test in isolation — the screen depends on a navigation parameter. The Previewer can stub it; in production, navigate from a parent screen.
- Category id is trusted from the URL. Don’t expose this content class on a URL surface where untrusted users can construct arbitrary category ids — use
posts_per_page to cap the result size.
