Description

Problem

Postman Tests - Category Content is one of the slowest CI jobs (~40 min) and sits on the pipeline critical path. Per-collection timings from run 31054926456:

Collection Duration
setup + dotCMS boot ~12 min
Category.postman_collection 2m16s
ContentResourceV1.postman_collection 4m23s
ContentTypeResourceTests 14m37s
Content_Resource.postman_collection ~6m

Meanwhile Postman Tests - Template finishes in ~10 min (mostly boot overhead).

Fix

Move ContentTypeResourceTests from the category-content group to the template group in dotcms-postman/config.json. Expected: Category Content ~25 min, Template ~25 min — no new job, no additional boot overhead, and the Postman critical path drops ~15 min.
