Category::getUrl() should not fetch 301 redirect

[kweij]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version: 2.4.6-p3

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a category in the Admin
   URL Key is now auto-generated, system/auto-generated URL Rewrite is created (redirect_type = 0)
2. Change category URL Key
   System/auto-generated URL Rewrite is updated to a 301 from old to new (redirect_type = 301)
   A new system/auto-generated URL Rewrite is added (redirect_type = 0) from new tot internal route
3. Enable canonical URLs
   bin/magento config:set catalog/seo/category_canonical_tag 1
4. View the category in the frontend

State in the database with example data:

Expected result

Canonical URL === New category URL Key

Actual result

Canonical URL === Old category URL Key

Additional information

In \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category.php::getUrl() URL rewrites are loaded for the category by ID and store. This returns the first result, which is the 301 redirect from the old to the new category URL. The request_path of this rewrite is used to form the return value of Category.php:getUrl(), which contains the old URL.

The fix is that only the system/auto-generated URL rewrite is loaded. Therefor the array param provided to \Magento\UrlRewrite\Model\UrlFinderInterface::findOneByData() in vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Category.php:613 should be extended with UrlRewrite::REDIRECT_TYPE => 0,. The same addition is already in place for \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Url::getProductUrl(), but missing for categories.

Release note

Note that I've only yet encountered this issue in the category canonicals, but since the issue resides in Category.php:getUrl(), there are probably other area's where this bug causes an issue.
