Blank braille page at the start of the content

[dkager]

The content of the print book in the first braille volume starts with a blank braille page. Example:

         <section>
            <page>
               <row>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⠁</row>
            </page>
            <page>
...

This appears to happen only in the first volume. It is not expected behavior, see the unit tests for add-boilerplate.

With my updated CSS (to be pushed shortly) I get another inconsistency, possibly related:

            <page>
               <row>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⠁</row>
               <row>⠼⠃⠊⠑⠑⠊⠉</row>
               <row/>
               (more of the title page)
               <row/>
               <row>⠨⠙⠑⠙⠊⠉⠕⠝</row>
               <row>⠨⠃⠁⠝⠙⠀⠼⠁⠀⠦⠞⠕⠞⠁⠁⠇⠀⠼⠃⠴</row>
            </page>
         </section>
         <section>
            <page>
               <row>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⠉</row>
               <row>⠨⠊⠝⠓⠕⠥⠙⠀⠃⠁⠝⠙⠀⠼⠁</row>
               <row/>
               <row>⠨⠉⠕⠇⠕⠋⠕⠝⠀⠀⠼⠉⠀⠀⠼⠉</row>
               (the rest of the TOC)
               ...

Where did braille page 2 of the braille book's frontmatter go?

Re last comment: Bert explained that this is a Dotify limitation. A TOC always starts a new section, and a new section always starts on a new sheet. It worked previously with the document-level TOC because of a work-around. That can't be applied to a volume-level TOC because if the volume-level TOC is empty the work-around would cause the title page to be omitted.

This leaves the extra blank page at the start of the braille book's actual content, which is undesired.
